Doubt Clearance Thread: UPSC 2021

@SergioRamos I scored 140 in the previous forum mock and the very next day attempted some vision open test , scored 39. Lol. These mock scores mean nothing. Just gather new info if you feel that’s relevant and move on. 


Thanks for this comment.

could someone please clarify the IUCN status of sandalwood ? Some places say it is vulnerable. Some say it has been moved to near threatened from endangered. 

Pleeeeeeeeese.

This feels like such a bummer this close to the exam. How can it possibly go this low?!

Even if it did, I was comfortably scoring above it as per various keys. Still didn't make the cut. Makes me second guess my capabilities for this exam. The answer key alone would be able to unravel this mystery. Meanwhile, I would keep running the various scenarios that could've played the spoilsport like marking the omr wrong etc. I definitely have no doubt about my csat performance so it's something with GS only.

Yesterday's forum open gave such a boost to my confidence and now, after watching the cutoff it dropped to even below the status quo ante.

Sorry guys just ranting here. Does anyone have any idea when would the answer key be released?

Same here was easily getting more than 95 from various keys. I don't know what happened. It has come as a big shock.

I also have a feeling that since forest services exam are not over, they will not release the key before prelims. Hope I am wrong.

I can only remember Mrunal sir's witty lines here.


Interviews are scheduled after prelims for them.

What would UPSC lose if they release marks of everyone? I didn't clear pre let alone clearing the forest cutoffs 

seriously. which means they will not release answer key either.

Can someone share actual prelims marks and predicted marks by coaching answer keys? 
I can't check my score as I filled forest service too 

I think you can still see it. It says it's not for those that applied ONLY for IFoS.

But after entering roll number.  it says "you have applied for ifos and results are yet to be declared"

Guys, 

Need help.

I have studied vedanta philosophy from somewhere which was very well explained. Some keywords were nirguna saguna brahmana. Now I don't remember where it was. I think it was in explanation of any question paper. So if anyone has come across it or remembers the source please send it.
