According to the math, upsc has either dropped 2 or 9 questions. Watching such huge discrepancy, I won't doubt figure of 9. Earlier I thought it can be just 2 but such huge drop can't be explained by 2 questions only.
I don't think it is 9, must be 2
most possible thing is many answers are different than what everyone thought
but sadly we won't be able to see the answer keys before forests results
@sjerngal surely you realise it’s not as simple as that? While I don’t discredit her and her sister’s achievements but this low cut off allows them to allocate more time towards mains, skip some topics entirely because the static portion is enough for them to clear the cut offs.Then the question of why are they even getting this reservation in the first place. Both have been students of a top college, both their parents were in the ‘creamiest’ of jobs. Surely there must be several needy people out there who could actually benefit from this ‘affirmative’ system? But as soon as someone attempts a critique of the system, there are people ready to defend and ask others to move on.I genuinely find it hard to not feel disdain for a system that is so lopsided that it’s creating a ‘brahmanical’ order within the ‘downtrodden’ categories.But yeah no one talk about this. Meenas taking all the ST seats, supremely well offs taking several SC seats, thanks to EWS even the historically ruling castes can get totally legit certificates made and avail ‘deserved’ benefits.I don’t discredit any individual’s performance but I certainly feel a lot of contempt for a system which is completely antithetical to the idea it was floated upon.

problem of rupee ya something?
was this same thesis responsible for idea of RBI ?
About Pandita Ramabai:
In anaddress to Lord Ripon’s Education Commission,she said, “In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the educated men of this country are opposed to female education and the proper position of women. If they observe the slightest fault, they magnify the grain of mustard-seed into a mountain, and try to ruin the character of a woman.” This led Lord Dufferin to start the Women’s Medical Movement.
TheCountess of Dufferin Fundis also known as “The National Association for
Supplying Medical Aid to the Women of India” and the “Lady Dufferin Fund.” This
Fund marked one of the first diplomatic pushes to improve global health in the
world, and the introduction of western medicine for women in India
Not me..
I'm solving pyqs though.. And revising SFGs.. No more full length mocks...
try to give atleast one to have feel of exam in same time segment, even if you have done this thousand times, one in the last week can be considered
no need to calculate marks
if everybody is talking about COVID related stuff
also look forNanopore sequencingin brief
Nanopore sequencing is a third generation approach used in the sequencing of biopolymers- specifically, polynucleotides in the form of DNA or RNA. Using nanopore sequencing, a single molecule of DNA or RNA can be sequenced withoutthe need for PCR amplification or chemical labeling of the sample.
@Hououin_Kyouma lol no, bacche parents ki jagah kaise le lenge
bacche can be like, aise kaise hamarey parents ko bol diya :P
I solved 2 questions in 2019 based on options in them, option in one question something about Ashoka helped me to get answer about Harrapan site and that scenario I was able to solve other one also.
The option was about Sohgaura in harrapan one, which was also mentioned in Ashoka wala question,
miss that exam aware me, wasn't able to solve questions I knew in 2020
@Jammu and@Hououin_Kyouma , these type of questions can be a deal breaker though. 2-3 questions means 6 marks. The thing is, how to develop such aptitude? Is it all related to calming our nerves or is there something more?
So as I think-
Major part is having time at your disposal in exam, like last year paper was too lengthy. So there was less chance of getting such answers:
for example- before prelims, Azad hind mentioned about KONDA and related it with Andhra Pradesh, It helped me to correct one question
at the same time due, I wasn't able to look at question like KULYAVAPA, DRONAVAPA. But there also it was easier to guess the answer.
they can fail us also, if applied illogically like question like GHANTASHALA, as CHAUL and KAdura were also there, I went with Buddhist centre :P
can be said that, it is mixture of your vocabulary across some Indian languages, general awareness of things, available time, risk taking attitude, most importantlyit has to be your day. Go with the instincts if something clicks, it may or may not work, but the study of 2-3 years isn't working properly so taking such risk (limited) should not be an issue
applying things in mocks can help, it can be sort of habit for some, but as exam is close, we can look at some PYQs and try to apply some logics.
