Civil Services Mains 2020 Results: In or Out ? Way ahead, gratitude and Pain
The Civils Mains result has been declared. This thread is for sharing your grief , joy , mixed feelings - absolutely anything and everything.
I feel so hesitant to draw flowcharts in my answers, even bullet points seem adventurous at times (but I do stick to them). Are flowcharts really the holy grail of answer writing? There's no way the examiner still finds them impressive or novel at this point right? What do the senpais who've written Mains before think?Whenever I digress from paragraph writing, I feel bad inside, like I have committed some crime. I have stretched myself to going for the pointwise format, not more shorthand than that.
The story of the flowchart is based on the popular yet utterly stupid myth that UPSC paper checkers do not spend much time on copies, are careless in that regard and the flowchart is to break the monotony of the checker and help them find keywords quicker. Even class 10th Copies are checked with more rigour( in 3 rounds ), so yeah UPSC does pay minute attention.
Now coming to the writing part. Answer writing or any writing for me is essentially persuasion, but without the help of our body language, emotions which we can express when we face the other. That is why writing is difficult in the 1st place. Therefore, the logic behind any of our assertions in writing should be very clear and articulated to convince the reader. This is not possible in flowchart form as words used in it are extremely few as compared to paragraph or points.
A wise man is someone who expresses a lot in minimum words but a flowchart is an extreme form and extremes are never good.
The examiner gives us 250 words to test our wisdom. The target is not to write in as few words as possible but to be precise and articulate.
Goodhart's Law is expressed as: “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.”
Flowcharts and all those hubs and spoke and chariots are a prime example of Goodhart's law.
PS: Strictly my opinion. I was unsuccessful in mains.
I agree with the logical persuasion point boss! That is the beating heart of the answer. But diagrams are useful for peripheral things like examples, types, timelines etc. which are also necessary. Drawing them leaves you more time and space to devote to the former. They become a hindrance only if you try to use them for the main reasoning of your answer. Otherwise they're quite helpful!
If memers ever get a separate nation, forum guys should definitely be in the ruling party.

Bhai forget about PM, I am not even a eligible 'party karyakarta'. I am just an amateur, these guys are pro level.
I humbly withdraw my nomination😉😄

Since I couldn’t score either party’s ticket (justified since I’m still a beginner), guess I’ll be Atmanirbhar 😛

I’m not eligible to be PM because I would hold press conferences regularly if I won. Isn’t that a disqualification these days? :P

Why do you always have to delete your comments? What level of anonymity do you seek? :P
