@Duryodhan Last year case studies were tougher but with 3-3.5 pages only 
This year, on average,there were 4-5 pages writing space which indicates its lengthy nature.
More or less same level as last year. 


Right? Because I said the similar thing to them but none accepted this. It was my first mains this time and asked people who wrote both. 

Those who just gave last year's mains told me it's 3 full pages + leftover space after the question. But it was clearly 4 full pages+ left over space. 


Considering 250 words limit and comparing with GS1/2/3  space, I didn't try to fill up the pages at all. Just wrote whatever was relevant.

Anyone with Maths or engineering optional?

How was the toughness of paper this year compared to 2020?

In Civil engineering,paper 1 was relatively easier while paper 2 was  tougher.

So in totality,the level is identical with last year. 

Many humanities optional candidates are claiming that their paper was easier.Is the trend same for engineering and maths subjects??

Physics wasn't mentioned here but I guess that should be relevant too. 


Paper was easy, anyone with good practice of derivations and memorization of formula would've done pretty well.

@Purplesunbird Yes,its very relevant. 
Thanks.
Sciences,Engg and Maths have similar scoring pattern.
It seems Maths and Physics too were on easier side.Maybe civil engg was an outlier. It was of similar nature as 2020.

Kal ka discussion padh ke lag raha hai history ko is saal bhi kam marks milenge..

Jab paper hi easy tha to marks sabke ayenge and fir scaling se kam bhi honge..

Hindus are rising against "intellectual" opression. These so called intellectuals are the real terrorists. They take all the money from our temples while other religions are given all the freedom to do social work but conversion really.

10 Hindus die at the hands of Secular people and media reports say Clashes between communities leave 10 dead, 1 Aklakh dies and media and intellectuals act like old women from 80s films who just heard of some tragedy. This is what happens when you supress the voice of dissent perpetually.

54 Hindus died in Godhra nobody talked about, the voices of their loved ones were suppressed and people lashed out. 

Lakhs of Hindus were converted, murdered and driven out of Kashmir. There is no photo, videos, documents, anything remotely related to their plight.

Right now people are just voicing their dissent, they did so in UP and other 3 elections. Supress this voice and this dissent will have to take form of something desperate.

@Minato Civil engineering me to pata nahi kis nashe ka sewan karke  paper 2 set kiya hoga😆.
Not just tougher but probably toughest paper 2 tha.


Bro there is no relation between toughness of optional paper and marks that a student gets.

In tough paper if one is able to write something relevant to a question and not perfect, even then he will get good marks. And scaling takes care of any shortcoming.

Problem is with easy or conventional paper. Even a candidate who has not prepared hard will attempt all the questions. Bringing any difference becomes tough. Marks get averaged out.

So in both the cases a candidate with strong grip will excel by writing something relevant in tough paper or bringing difference in case of easy paper

bhai ncert bhi wahi..anyway leave

Bhau aap research karlo na. Aap ke dimag me cukt ka kya meaning aata hai isse scholarship thoda ne decide hogi. What does the term mean in sociology and anthropology wo mujhe pta nhi. Aap elaborate kro kya difference hota hai i am assuming anthro me toh ye sab bhut padaya jaata hoga


Yeah we should stick to original meaning and not wat people generally understand from that word.

For example: Mahatma Gandhi believed in communalism because he believed in freedom of country (common to other citizens of country).

Similarly we find frequent mentioning of Nehruji as communal due to his shared idea of modern India.

In India liberals frequently associate this term with personalities like Hamid Ansari.

bhai maine ncert old wali padhi hai. kahin bhi wo sab nai mila muje. main fir padh lunga. bhakti movement jahan hai wahan ye sab nai likha hai. so mere lie ncert hi source hai. aur sabke lie wahi h. ab khoj khoj ke kuch bhi le ao aur use authentic bologe toh dusri taraf ke bolenge ki galat hai, toh ye chalta rahega.

madam ka source of info ncert nai h toh uski relevance hai hi nai

Abhi logon ne ncert mein khoj diya tha madam ka source to tumne ncert ko bhi jhutla diya tha. Seedha kehdo ki madam ki baat achhi nahi lagi, kitaabon k aad mein apne opinion ko fact saabit karne mein lage ho.

@zombieland You are right bro.
In a tough paper,unscaled marks may be less but post scaling it becomes good.The more the difference with other candidates in the subject,the better the scaling.
