How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
plmokn25688524,BiryaniI m getting a lot of negative feelings these days that I might have underperformed in the mains exam..
Whenever I read any topic now I am instantly reminded that I could have used these points in so and so answer..
I m getting more and more underconfident with each passing day...
Does anyone else also face such issues..
Or do they increasingly become more confident with the day of result getting closer..
It's natural, thats why only trust that feeling which u had immediately after the exam.

Ohh. I didn't try to force them. Jahan pe sense ban rha tha wahan kiya nahi to next start kar diya. Last year mere 105 mostly is liye the kyunki I went full historical on upsc. Aur koi dimension hi nahi dala. Lag rha tha ki essay nahi history ka paper likh ke aaya hun. Ye ek topic me hua. Dusre topic me bhi aise hi kuch bahot unidimensional essay likha tha. Main khud apna paper check karta to 105 nahi deta.
Is it true that most people score more than their expectations, especially when they're not hopeful of a good score? Because from what I've noticed, despite not having any specific content or essay practice, they were able to score average(around 120s) in essays.

Before optional exam, I thought of putting names of philosophers in my answers. A person told me 'zyada naam likhne sey marks nahi miltey'
In the exam, I wrote the names of philosophers. I was feeling happy.
Next day, I told that person that I didn't write any names (🙂), he told me that I should have written some names na..marks kaise milenge he said. I told him that I did write names.
He felt flabbergasted and asked did I write the names of their books. I said some books. He said bhai Books ka naam aur year of publication bhi likhna hota hai....he was trying to make me feel bad for no reason.
Hence, the feeling you get just after the exam should be the one you should carry around, atleast in Mains

@chikuiasbano Holi wud be ruined this year too for sure!
UPSC too has dark humor
few things i want to ask those who wrote mains:
-the mais 365 document which you ppl read (i read too), could you use the information as such in answers? not the facts as such, but the analysis part which has way forward etc.
-those who wrote mains previously too, how close were their final marks to the mock score. this q is based on the assumption that the performace of mocks would more or less be replicated in final exams.on certainly improvises in between mocks and between mocks and final exams.
so was there any huge shocking difference in the final marks? kindly give example also
directly kisi kaam nai aya mere
@Admgenalanezh pata nai muje toh koi bhi q direct laga nai usse. questions jis tarah se framed the, aisa lag rha tha ki agar nai bhi padhta toh bhi answer ho jate ye questions.directly kisi kaam nai aya mere
True. Gone are the days, when one year's mains 365 you can mug up, and questions will come directly from it. The way UPSC is doing it now, one can either not read at all (and while writing mocks also, just depend upon your existing knowledge level and hone your answer writing skills), or, if you've time, skim through the mains 365 of past few years and cover only the most important topics.

Although his intention was not gud bt his points were valid:
1. Excessive use of phiolosophers seems not gud
2. Writing name of book is also recommended. Bt mugging up year of publication is very difficult

Direct toh bohot kum hi use tha. Bt quality improvement m kaam aa sakta hai.
