Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021

Hi! I’m finding the vision tests to be too difficult and sometimes the questions are just too obscure. Do I have company? Or I’m the only one.

One test after another is serving to be a major blow to my confidence. I’m thinking of skipping the sectional tests and attempting FLTs. Is it a wise move? Please help!

@extinctinwild I feel the same after giving about 15 tests. How you expect to at least improve as the number of revisions increase, on the contrary I became increasingly doubt ridden. I’ll take the advice, thanks !!

@HotBloodPrince Its C as per UPSC answer key as well. Financial empowerment/granting sources of revenue is not a mandatory feature of PRI. Fundamental objective being the key phrase in the question

@PhoenixD A constitution is a living document, in the sense, that it provides for a mechanism to amend its provisions per the needs and exigencies of time.

Political class, IMO, should suggest the amending powers conferred upon the parliament vide article 368.

@AureliusM It needs to be approved by the parliament upon proclamation. However, parliamentary approval for its continuation isn’t required.

@AureliusM It says once proclaimed, the financial emergency continues without parliamentary approval. Which is not correct, after emergency is proclaimed by the president it needs to be laid before the parliament for approval within 2months. However, my doubt is regarding the third statement

@dragon_rider hey! I was leaning towards D as well, for the same reason as stated by you and also that FII and FDI may also have impact on strengthening the rupee thereby decreasing the cost of imports. However, many answer keys had marked 1&2 as the correct option!! Thanks!!
