How did everyone find the ethics paper?

Generally consensus seems to be that it was easier than last year. But personally found 10 markers a bit tough as I couldn't generate many examples.

@quasiwin well don't worry even some veterans messed up P2 due to P1. But yes, there will be those who will score no matter what.

Anyways, hummare haath kuch bhi hai nahi.

@Averageaspirant Way easier than last year. Last time Ethics ke paper ke baad everyone was literally in shock. This year the paper was not at all lengthy.

dramaturgical wala I remembered the goffman's name, rest linked it with drama like script writing practicing and performing like a stage play. Reference grp seemed to be bouncer, still linked with sanskritisation and role modelling for actors etc

How did you guys find anthropology papers

ppl found p2 easy. i found it tough because i had simply too much value addition for 15 marker and 20 markers because of which 10 markers were done in haste. p1 was easy compared to last year but still left a few questions

@Davidjones Mere saamne jo baitha tha vo aadhe se zyada paper chhod kar aaya tha ~250 in both papers.  

Many of my friends are thinking of changing their optional after this paper.

@Davidjones Wave question was pretty standard - initial position and velocity (non-zero) was given. Why do you think it's different? 

@tedmosby I'm having similar thoughts of changing the optional because as of now it has become a huge gamble which can either play out extremely well or fail spectacularly. From this year's paper, it's clear that UPSC has no qualms in lifting trick-based complex questions from random books. So there is a good chance of having a similar or worse paper next year. Which optionals are you considering now?
