Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@sat_009even if i get average in this Q's, I would be happy.

@Raja123i have written introduction of traditional knowledge and threats to tk in terms of biopiracy with known examples such as turmeric, then started with measures 1. patent act 2. cbd in details with indias position ratification objectives nagoya protocol access and benefit sharing protocol 3. bd act nba sba local committtess with flowchart importance for preservation of tk and mentioned some formulations under register
4. tkdl tkrc csir initiative success story what it is how it protects traditional knowledge.

though i knew things at length and in more technicalities but space is full, this avoidance came with wisdom in previous attempt i am sure of getting good marks here in this question, but cyberdome and visweshrya are two my concerns rest paper was good.

@Charlie_Charlieto be honest i was lucky, this question was quite specific for people who do not know, some of frnds at centre wrote 3 and 5 lines for this.

@sat_009Which attempt?How were your marks in previous attempts?Where did you miss?

@bevancomlast year essay gs1 marks affected, writing direct answers help get good score this is the take away from last year

@sat_009exactly....But I believe if one completes the paper,he/she anyway is in advantage than one who attempts less(<18Qs) subject to some obvious exceptions.

@sat_009Problem yeh hai samaj nahi aa raha kya kiya jai.
I am not in Delhi.I prepared from my hometown for the past 1 year with no coaching.
Now I don't know whether to study for interview or mains again(I started interview preparation post 10th as was confident of papers but after seeing answers here I think I might not even clear individual cutoffs of each).
Nobody to talk to about preparation.That's why came here.
Some help will be appreciated.

@bevancomGave the exam in 2017 with no preparation as was in full time post graduation and scored 762 overall

@sat_009bhai....aapka anthropology aur gs dono hi acchaa hua hai....i think ..iss baar aap select ho jaoge.. good luck

@bevancompaper kaisa gaya ye dekhne ke liye question ko subparts me divide karke marks ka analysis karna chahiye, last year ka marks ke jaise hi checking hua aise consider karke faisala nahi le sakte, every question paper has its own character, interview calls depend upon following factors -

1. Kisi paper me bhot kam marks na mil jaye atleast average in all papers is must.
2. 2 3 papers should be exceedingly well.
3. papers are left blank for more than 1 or 2 questions.
4. optional ethics case studies essay philosophical determine rank in the end.

@Yes_I_am_inbhagwan kare aapki bat sach ho jaye, hum log acha kam kar sakte hai aur sab paper check karne wale aur bhagwan ke hath me hai luck do matter in this exam, interview and essay in both marks are dependent upon evaluator too.

@Charlie_Charlieyes bhai paper completion is key, last year ke mukable mera performance yaha acha raha, paper 1 complete, paper 2 (did not get time for 1 10 marker) paper 3 (barring vishwerya and cyberdome rest was okay, i have written very general for this two but rest was structured), paper 4 - complete.
optional wrote complete (quality of last 15 marker in both paper not to level of others, so effectively 470 me se hai ladai).but last year bhi aise hi hua tha but did not affect anthro score that much

@sat_009Thanks man.
Seeing your performance from your comments and the quality of your answers,I believe you will get a top 50 rank.
Will seek guidance from you in future.

@sat_009dw Bhai....Aapka isbaar IAS ho jayega...

@Charlie_Charliemera bhi

@Chacha420theek hai Chacha ji aapko bhi IAS hi mille.
God bless you.

@Charlie_Charliesada suhagan raho
