Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

Isro se bas ab wo space station Wala questions yaad ata hai

Just want to ask people who have got marks last year in public administtation optionals, how many best, good, average questions attempted and marks that you got. Even general studies can also respond. It will be helpful to keep ourselves grounded, instead of breakng heart on results day

Is there any telegram group for discussion of mains 2019 and pubad

Feel free to join[mains discussion group](Public administration 2019

for interview schedule, does upsc follow proximity rule?

@ranyo_asokahaan.. Iss bar pro cons type k ques bhi nhi the.. Question setters keep on checking, examiners keep on changing, marking scheme keeps on changing, otherwise exam becomes predictable

@LazyNeutronsaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

Why ISRO is Successful but Other PSU are not upto the mark?

I don't think ISRO is a PSU. It is an org under DoS. It is not expected to make profits and is funded for a specific task.
Apart from that:

• no vested interests(like in PSBs)
• better work culture
• good foundation roots

ISRO also had it's fair share of failures. Apart from that, PSUs like ONGC and IOCL(Maharatnas) are performing good. Many of the loss making PSUs are in sectors which are already under stress(telecom, aviation) or their work has now become redundant.

@Caesar
Can't agree more than that...

@Caesar
All the jugaad, IBM format, practicing model answer, taking balanced view, covering various dimension and all the sacred rules taught by THESE GREAT COACHING INSTITUES fail flat in the mains 2019...content was the king at least in this mains for sure...

@dr-ahmednaaz8567result to ane do bhai..likkha ho khali..marks ane tak wait karlo..

@tss
What? Not getting it...likha ho khali...

@dr-ahmednaaz8567i meant koi judgment dene se pahele wait for the scores to be declared..how can you say content was the king at least in this mains?? and not previous mains and moreover what worked and failed in mains 2019 is premature to say right now..

@ranyo_asokawould like to differ a bit.
In this question also agree and don't agree exits.
Agree all know this and wrote also.
Disagree. 1. Regionalism, subnationalism, exists which opposes to idea of small india all over.

P.s.- saw somewhere in discussions. Not written though

@jumboregionalism,subnationalism do not oppose concept of small india..those two are not mutuallyexclusive.Aslong as there is no secessionist tendency multiple identities can co-exist.This is actually idea of India. one need not have to be a lesser Bengali or Tamil in order to be a staunch Indian..However,the demand of the question was not to debate along this line.Everything can be critically analyzed but the important thing is what is relevant as perdemand.Gsanswer cant be essay type..

@tssIts just a viewpoint which could have been added for extra points and opposing view.
In answer I guess nothing is absolutely correct or wrong.

Rest depends upon time if u have time u can add new dimension to it

@tss
I agree..
But my judgement is not enforceable. ..nor it has universal validity...I forgot to write IMO..
My analysis may be wrong...but it may also be correct...

@Caesarthanks bro. Failure is a part of life. work culture in ISRO is really different from other govt org. Its visible. yes ISRO is not a PSU.

@dr-ahmednaaz8567see lukmaan gs model answers .. inke model answers ko copy bhi karke likhe naye booklet mein toh 6 ghanta lagega lagta hai :p...and they are releasinv it after a month of exam being ovr

@ranyo_asokastill some of their answers are lopsided and not good

@sat_009yeah..some are like pucha kuch hai air likha kuch aur hai
