Mains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread

@Jayson_BourneWhich other optional r u thinking to take?

@vvvikas0078212Bhai 9-5 job is manageable if the time limit does not extend beyond 5....where i used to work it was more a 9-9 job on most of the days...plus client support from home if any issue arises....its highly likely to get entangled in such kind of job in an IT sector.
Thus my advise will always be to stay away frm sch kind of workprofile while prep for UPSC

Don't take up job. It would be very difficult. Jobs are demanding (depending upon job) and any person can devote only 6-8 hrs towards study on any given day(long time average)... Which you would be giving to your job. Plus there is no mental switch in us which would allow us to shift focus. And leave would always be an issue depending on boss. So you decide bhai.

@ShubzYES it depends on job. My work barely extended beyond 5.

bhailog any suggestion for part time jobs. Given mains this year

Kuch samajh me nhi aa raha ...kaisa hua hai paper...quantity k chakkar me quality compromise kar diya...anyone facing the same situation?

Koi to Dard share karo

@Chacha420aa ja bhai...share kr le.
Are dar mat ... quantity hi kaam aayegi iss baar.
Quality to koi nhi la payega.... questions hi aise the.

Arey bhai bhai bhai ... Dil Ko Chooo liya...mujhe laga kisi Ko Dard nhi

bhai quality ka issue bas itna hai ki sabse kharab answee mahi likha . Average answers jo quetion ke need ko address karre kafi hai no fetch karney ke liye. maximization of score finall quantity pe hi hota hai

@Chacha420kabhi kabhi God pe chod Dena chahiye...
Sometimes ummed se zyada milta hai ...be positive

Aap logo ka kaisa hua...as compared to previous attempts? Expected score se actual score kitna deviate karta hai?

Feel good factor nhi aayi kisi bhi paper me

@Chacha420wo kabhi nhi aata hai.
Wait till result...agar attempt hai to start planning for the next attempt

Par Kuch Mann nhi kr rha krne ka

Aap log kya kr rhe iss time?

@Chacha420koi web series dekh le bhai.
Interview call aayegi teri ...agar relevant likha hai aur paper complete Kiya hai.
Quality matters tab krti hai jab quantity bhi ho.
Sirf quality se kuch nhi hota.
So chill kr bhai

Relevant to likha hai pr...kuch important points miss kiya hoon 5-6 questions me... in every paper

Quality is highly overrated......i think nobody has exact to the point answers..everybody tries to elaborate with slightly relevant or irrelevant content...for example agar koi ques nhi aata how many skip that ques....everybody tries to write something or other ...so quality as well quantity is equally important

@Raja123
Actually people do attempt all the questions. Very people u could find who have left 2 to 3 questions blank. We do attempt questions, even if it is for name sake.
e.g. cyberdom I too attempted, though I know it would fetch me zero marks. by quality we mean understanding it's context, relevance and linking with current affair, though following this with in all questions is nearly impossible.
