Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@ManchesterUnitedwhat if question is something like attorney general? Content available with most candidates would have been sufficient to fill two pages (best case scenario). Leaving a page blank in this question allows one to save time and devote it to other questions where content is more. Marginal increment of marks in such questions is close to nil after a point.

Any case, it's my personal opinion. I haven't cleared this exam yet. So feel free to ignore this piece of my mind.

I usually write 60-65 words per page...that means around 130 for 10m,190 for 15m (written all 3 pages even in attorney general)

@pysh12950ur great attorney wale pe 3 page likhe ho

This strategy of writing big with clear spaces has two advantages-
1.Psychological advantage-all pages filled,helped in all questions to be attempted as the number of words to be written was considerably less
2.Neat and clean font ensuring readability

@paranthapijjaBro I am not telling anyone that everyone who fills up pages fill quality
But writing 1.5-2 pages for a 15 marker and expecting 7-8 is illogical!

@jumbobhai mere 3 page tumhare 2 page honge

Bhai ek hi to accha kaam kiya hai...saare page bhare hain....uspe hi rely kar raha hoon interview call k liye...most answers were average

@ManchesterUnitedDon't get riled up bro. Your tone is becoming slightly untenable for a civil discussion.

people answers pe discussion karte...... atleast kuch naye dimension/ way of presentation to pata chal jata,

mostly content pe baat hoti hai sb jagah ... i guess way of presentation par bhi discussion is necessary. To rate/review / mark answer.

@paranthapijja
People use mc bc chu etc here and I am not discussing civicly itseems!
Anyways thats my pov and I don’t need a lesson of how to post from you
Ty for the unsolicited advice!

Thanks for proving my point once again.

Does UPSC provide Physical Attendance Certificate? My leave was sanctioned subject to production of physical attendance certificate after exams.
Seniors kindly suggest how to get it.

@Yes_I_am_in
Yes pages fill karne se kuchh nahi hota hai

@dr-ahmednaaz8567par hum ummeed nahi chodenge

Happy Diwali everyone

Happy Diwali bhailog. Patakhe fod rhe ho na

Jab zindagi main hi aag lagi ho toh patakhe Kyun jalane

@ChanakyaKya dhaansu punch hai bhai. Bahut khoob.

@Chanakyasahi punch line..just like success guru ji

@ManchesterUnited
It's not illogical my dear brother. Two pages or 200 words is more than enough for some who use less of words like is, are, the, and etc. Filling pages is immaterial. 250 is maximum limit and not minimum limit.
