@AureliusM waise last year se paper is baar easy aya tha toh last year type nai rahega
@Capedcrusader1 yes mjhe bhi lgra. marking strict hi hogy. but some questions like evolutionary theories on ageing,thick description,morgan family classification were not so easy i guess..
and in paper 2 also 10 markers were not so easy to write
EiChan,nerdslayer@Sahilkumar bhai main ab jab paper dekhta hun to muje paper 2 ke 10 markers koi horror show se kam nai lagte. main easy toh logo ki opinion ke basis pe bola. muje easy nai laga. aur paper 1 me toh time issue hogya tha
@Capedcrusader1 seriously kuch bhi puchte h ab to 10 markers me. sb momentum disturb krte h exam ka
EiChan,
@Capedcrusader1 yes mjhe bhi lgra. marking strict hi hogy. but some questions like evolutionary theories on ageing,thick description,morgan family classification were not so easy i guess..and in paper 2 also 10 markers were not so easy to write
Yes in paper 2 10markers were like GS. Writing from anthropolohical perspective was difficult.
Paper1 was simpler than last year. Last year some questions were out of standard sources. This was not the case this year
EiChan,
Haan. I agree. Also paper 1 easier tha but paper 2 thoda difficult tha compared to last year.@AureliusM waise last year se paper is baar easy aya tha toh last year type nai rahega
What do you mean by Anthropological perspective?@Capedcrusader1 yes mjhe bhi lgra. marking strict hi hogy. but some questions like evolutionary theories on ageing,thick description,morgan family classification were not so easy i guess..and in paper 2 also 10 markers were not so easy to write
Yes in paper 2 10markers were like GS. Writing from anthropolohical perspective was difficult.

nerdslayer,@AureliusM physical part ka weightage kafi tha paper 1 me
plmokn25688524,Also about writing scholar's name in answers, it's not a cause of worry if you have not mentioned one in every answer. A friend of mine who got into IPS a couple of years ago said that his answers in PSIR were full of scholar's names. He painstakingly collected all of them to use in the examination, because the previous year he had got 265 and he thought it was low because he didn't use these names liberally. He reversed it the following year and ended up getting 244.
EiChan,plmokn25688524Pata nahi bro. Yaad nahi hai bilkul.@AureliusM physical part ka weightage kafi tha paper 1 me
@AureliusM overall last year ke comparision me, how did you feel. not just toughness, but things like these:
- overemphasis on value addition (xaxa worked just fine for me)
-did you face time crunch
-did you leave any questions
-
plmokn25688524,-- I prepared a lot of value addition in the form of Case studies from Ember and ember which I could not use though. Apart from that I did write more number of scholar's name because last year I hardly wrote any. Xaxa's case studies work good in Paper 2, I agree.@AureliusM overall last year ke comparision me, how did you feel. not just toughness, but things like these:- overemphasis on value addition (xaxa worked just fine for me)-did you face time crunch-did you leave any questions-
-- No time crunch in optional paper. I don't generally face any in Optional. This is I think because there is not much to understanding what exactly is asked as compared to GS papers. You can give one read to the question and start answering, unlike GS where 2-3 readings are sometimes required to exactly understand the demand of the question.
-- Not this time. No.
@AureliusM hm time issue i faced in paper1 for a very simple reason. perfecting my answer on adulscent growth spurt and franz boa 10 marker. this stupidity cost me.
but even in time cruch i ended up putting scholars name ad views i social stratificatio and other questions.
but structure is only intro body conclusion
in fertility question also, very general answer
EiChan,
