Arre haan ab to waise bhi badal ke lunga kya. Psir par bhi janta ki nazar hai aur pubad par bhi.@Haeckel

Can anyone please give brief range of marks for good and average answers in history optional ??

@AllMightin 2017 wrote very superficial answers; did not mention any historian in any debate and just gave answers stating diffrnt perspectives; in answer like temple architecture in ancient india i elaborated much more on temple architecure of medieval india;

in modern part wrote very superficially about gandhi struggle truce struggle method; india’s development in science and tech ( focussed more on recent dev instead of nehruvian era); did not know about stand still agreement but wrote something just for the sake of it ;

In world wrote a very easy 20 marker totally wrong ( about total war)

Wrote below avg in 10 markers of medieval and modern. However, 10 markers of world were avg and some above avg.

Answers which i wrote very well were MBT’s experiments; Akbar’s rajput policy; german unification; industrial revolution in britain.

Final marks paper 1 ->131
Paper 2 ->136 (where one 20 marker was completely wrong)

So I guess answers which you write well you score very good marks in them; in avg answers also if you have touched all aspects then you can aspect around 50 percent marks.

Is it only me whose gs3 paper become disaster...how come everyone is saying it was easy...

@Aadyabharuit was not esy it was just familiar

@Aadyabharui share your pain..

@TeddyWestsideThanks

@Aadyabharuin gs3 questions, we had something write...thats it..none of the GS papers were EASY

@Aadyabharu10 markers were pretty pointed. I found it difficult.

@paranthapijjaGS2 was difficult analytically while GS3 was difficult on factual level

I had not heard of cyberdome,Integrated farming system,space station project,national watershed project specifics,OGWs,Vishveshvaraiya contributions etc....made up somethings then and there...wrote plain general points...dont know how i will be rewarded
