Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@sernihilomeans if more than 2 questions are not attempted totally it hampers score

@sat_009Its also commendable that you can remember almost all answers.
I don't remember majority of my answers as it has been close to 1 month.
Maybe fault is with my memory.Time to eat almonds and match others.
Meet you next year.Bye and thanks again.

@bevancomoutline i remember if someone ask me to write what details i have written i wont be able to replicate exactly but yes outline of what subhedings i wrote i remember.

After reading above discussion...it is better for me to say goodbye to UPSC.
After exam i was confident but now, ummeed nazar nhi aa rhi.
Better to go back to my own field.️

@Yes_I_am_inSame is the case here.Anyway how were ur papers and which optional?

@bevancomessay and GS went fine except few questions like cyberdome(overall 40 marks didn't attempt in gs ) ,last case study of ethics etc.
Anthropology paper 2 average hua hai.
But maine sirf to the point likha hai.
Aap logo ke answer dekh kar lagta hai ki mere answers to sub-standard hai...mera to kuch nhi ho sakta

@sat_009how do you know that what examiner will feel is core and what is peripheral !! Just because it doesn’t match with your understanding !! May be what he has written he has connected it well with the demand of the question ; no body knows how upsc Marks especially in gs where everything is so general!! So yupp do discuss your answers but until and unless there is a factual error how can you say that you will get marks for this and nil for that !!

@Yes_I_am_inbhai anthro paper 2 me acha ata hai score dont worry, and yeah case studies were different this years no one know how and what will be awarded, leaving 40 around marks in all gs paper is not bad at all

@TeddyWestsidebhai i just said about evergreening not about any other topic or answer, second thing core of answer is determined by keywords in question yes i am no one to decide and i am not deciding even as i already stated clearly in multiple of my comments that answers do vary and they should thats the beauty but for certain questions they dont like i did not know specific of vishveswarya, cyberdome if i write cyberdome is of certin and not of kerala police will that be right,
evergreening is about extending patent by mncs of existing patents, compulsory licensing is about licensing under section 3d which are irrelevant of traditional knowledge.
baki apko aise laga hai ki mai specific areas bol raha hu aur wahi sahi hai aise bol raha hu to aise bat bilkul nahi h I want to clarofy this

What u people wrote in steady growth rate and low inflation question, gs3?
