hello people
the cut off marks shown by forum ias for all simulator exams have been 95 to 105 marks. Are these tests so easy that cut off marks are getting so high. I request people to kindly give their inputs
I do not think they are very easy, they are just about as tough as the actual exam, with a +/- 5 to 7 marks variation. I met a lot of people here online who said they were scroing 140+ , but last week I met 4 candidates - all of them IFoS Interview appearing as well as appeared for IFoS interview last year.
They shared their scores which was in the range of 95-105 to about 115 - which is something they also scored in the actual exam ( I know them for like 2-3 years now ).
But yes writing a mock test at home is very different from writing it at the exam center and writing it in UPSC. You do have a drop in performance when its the actual exam.

Wondering if it's only me or if there are others who feel answers to Q67 and 74 require a relook from FIAS faculty. Q67 doesn't matter much but Q74 is a probable one for this year's Prelims. Sharing my obs here:
In Q74, I am of the opinion that Large hydro does not constitute Renewable Energy as the answer seems to suggest. In fact, in one of the UPSC Prelims papers' from '18/'19 it was implicitly asked if large hydro does actually constitute renewable energy or not. This was a question around our INDCs. &UPSC did not consider it Renewable as far as I remember. Even this year's Economic survey includes two graphs and a table that explicitly mentions large hydro as a separate component in our energy mix. It forms a part of non-fossil energy sources, agreed, but not renewable as far as I understand. Would appreciate it if somebody can clarify this. Seems to be relevant for this year's pre.
In 67, I feel the answer should be D. While it's true that yeast is added to let the dough rise, it shouldn't discard the use of bacteria. In fact, bacteria are actually used in the preparation of a lot of specialty bread preparations, just like cheese. Can also be fact-checked with a quick google search. Also as a side logic, one may see the use of bacteria to aid gut digestion.
Thanks.

@AzadHindFauz can you look into this question and see if there is something wrongly interpreted? Will be very helpful.

For Q74, there was a change in policy in 2019 (https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1567817)
Large Hydro is now considered as part of the Renewable Energy sector.
I don't know if this policy has been reversed. But I haven't come across anything indicating that.
For Q67, I agree with you. Even I'd marked the same.

Precisely.
There was an uproar that how the govt is changing classification criteria to meet renewable targets. And many editorials.

Q 67, Q74 apart from it Q 27 and Q46 (options) need to be relooked. I hope there will corrigendum for these questions before Discussion class.
@Wings_Of_Fire what is the problem with Q.46?? I think the question correct. Please give your inputs
Option A is most reliable option as other options contains CR (Critical endangered ) species but "Fishing Cat" IUCN status was updated last year, correction for this is uploaded on website article news too.
Wikipedia still have "Vu" as status
