I analysed this with help of my attempt in paper and final marks obtained.

People got 300 even with descent 230 mark attempt inboth papers

@Anthromani have 146 152
my attempt in paper 1 was 200 good 50 average,
in paper 2 it was 210 good rest spontaneous.

@sat_009good score bhai

@chaitanya0458one should score 325 in anthro thats good score, not 300 around

Nice to see this. . This year can normalisation happen in anthro because anthro seems on easier side this year but other optionals especialy technical optionals were on difficult line????

Visvesvarya Ka i wrote - He was the Dewan and Civil Engineer who worked for Interlinking of river, modifying Buckingham Canal, adding features sluice gates in dame etc etc. Found it very hard to be specific.

@Anthromanpaper 2 was may ruin score this time.case study ki possibilties kam thi becoz of too much village india.

@Anthromanwhat questions u attempted in both

@sat_009bhai itne mere aagaye this time to I’ll be in the list

@Haeckelaa jayenge anthro me paper pura complete karke aaye ho and relevant ho to 300 marks milna pakka hai

Yess. . Also contribution of tribals in freedom struggle,impact of budhism on tribes,impact of various tribal policies, concepts arised out of village studiesmain kuch bhi case sudies ka scope nahi tha. . Ngo,media,industrialisation and village main likhe kuch case studies

@chaitanya045810 markers hold the key, writing good answers for this section increases score

@Anthromanconcepts likhne me hi space khatam ho jata hai sahab

In paper 1 Q2. . Bipedalism, mesolith and kinship by RC brown and Levis strauss
Q.4Race criterias, approaches to religion studies,balanced and transient poly morph
Q6 Victor turner, adaptations for height, methods of growth studies

@sat_009Hmm.. i wrote in 2016 and 17 got 270 and 260's. This time i wrote 20 markers first as i felt i was compromising on their quality in previous 2 attempts

I think after seeing this ....iq level of all aspirants is almost the same....the thing whether 1 is able to score average in all subjects.....slight bad performance in one subject may spoil the score

...

@Anthromani wrote 4,6,7 in paper 1

@sat_009what's marking scheme in GS like?

Paper 2 focused lower paleolith and soan valley,contribution of tribals in freedom struggle, budhism impact on tribals,
Harrapa civilisation, impact of media, impact of industrialisation
Concepts arised outof village studies, Ngos, various plans for tribald and their critical analysis
