How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
A burning question for Humanities optional candidates..especially for Socio, PSIR and history ones....Did you write optional answer in paragraphs or in GS type methodology of points. I am confused till nowPSIR optional. Wrote everything in paragraph- all 10,15, 20 markers.
Same here. Did Shubra Maam suggest only to write in paras ?
I didn't take any formal coaching or test series for PSIR. This was my second mains. In my first mains, I got good marks( 141, 148) in both papers, and so decided to replicate my efforts from last time. It was all paragraph last time; so this time too, I stuck with it. Paragraph seemed the right way to go as none of the articles that I referred by academics during my preparation were written in points. I therefore decided to mimic the writing style of academics to the best of my abilities.
Your first mains was what year?

Villanelle,
Not proud bhai. It was a very difficult time. People eulogize the exam too much. Sadly, everyone thought I cleared "IAS exam" but then I'm still here. So answering so many questions now. Infact, had stopped socializing for a while.
I wish you get good rank and desired service.
Bro..
You don't need to justify to anonymous people on forum.
You posted your experiences to tell people to be mindful , while filling the service preferences in daf. It's upto others to take it in whatever way they want to take.
Moreover, posting marks and year of selection, people can easily track your name and other details , as it's available on public domain. I don't think you would want it either.
All the very best to you. Cheers😀
Yes
The only intention is to ID the person. It's foolish to fall into such an ego trap and disclose yourselves in a platform full of anonymous people.

It's like you are giving a bit too much importance to yourself..
Certainly not interested in that.. but definitely in marks..
Anyways.. ab recommended candidates hain to hain bhai.. we stand nowhere in front of the elites

Yeah yeah
I understand👍🏽😊
@WindyDay What different you did ?
In 2018, I was not expecting a Mains call; I had messed up my prelims. So I did not prepare much after the prelims exam. I was working back then. So the prelims result came as both a surprise and shock. I was lacking in terms of GS content and messed all my GS papers; I scored well in essay and optional.
So this time I focused a lot on getting my GS game right with a special focus on ethics as I feel it is a low hanging fruit. In terms of essay and optional did not do anything different.

sharing anything with anonymous people is the worst thing one can do online.
they have your chats , your statements , your views.
without knowing the context, the position on those statements at a different point in time, situation, personality of the person and other variables at play, they can and they DO use that information and target you on any other platform. mostly to malign image.
not everyone is has same maturity level.

Their name is like Katrina's mobile number.. everyone is dying to know it...
So much self importance.. a rare sight indeed..
Privacy is a good escape by the way..
Akkku,@WindyDay what's the secret for scoring 280 in 1st attempt
In hindsight I can say it is pure interest in the subject. I love International Relations and keep reading stuff. I imagine that could have helped me. In addition, PSIR gives lot of leverage to use current event examples to substantiate claims in both the papers. This really helps with the quality of answer.
