@PhagocyteHaan bhai Sahi baat, I had an idea only about water currents, didn't know water masses. Still wrote something.
Static content+Analytical ability wala combo was n3eded in many answers.
Even history questions were of the same type.
Let me know your thoughts on this.
All of them bhai.
During mains, I befriended two History optional guys (both veterans).
Even they found them a bit difficult.
Particularly Renaissance wala and that imperial British delaying independent wala.
I won't call GS 1 difficult but Easy bhi nahi tha.
Maine Delhi ke CR park ka example diya (Bengalis)
Delhi ke Kashmere Gate pe Monastery ka example diya (North Eastern people)
Sociology questions mein dimaag Kam chalta hai mera
I am one of those who didn't know about the "types of vulnerabilities" in GS 3.
Where did you guys read it from ?
Apart from this, I had no idea about
*Integrated Farming System (IFS)
*National Watershed Program (NWP)
*MS Swaminathan & Visvesvaraya.
*Cyberdome.
*Traditional Knowledge wala question. (Later i got to know that it's inspired from a similar question from 2015 gs3)
THIS IS MY TRUTH. Aao hum share karein.
Decent marks matlab kitne ?
Last year I attempted worth 220, got 70.
With Zero preparation.
But this time, i am quite terrified.
@RavsI mean gum share karein.
#However i am glad that i haven't left pages blank this time. Kuch na kuch toh likhkar aaya hi hoon.
Haan 25 is the default threshold. But the commission may increase or decrease it as per the circumstances.
@ShubzLog toh Na jaane kya kya claim karte Hain.
We should not trust anyone's claims without evidence.
I AM WORRIED.
In GS 1, women space and time wala question, my introduction was
"Philosopher Aristotle confined women within the 4 walls of home. Unfortunately, even today, women face such injustice.
I just want to know whether using Aristotle will backfire or not ?
Should I be worried ?
Rest of the answer is really good but I am quite anxious about the introduction.
Please Help.
A few minutes ago, i was feeling bored. Therefore, i decided to watch GS 4 analysis on YouTube.
Within 5 minutes i got quite frustrated.
Yaar yeh bande 99% bakchodi karte hain aur 1% kaam ki baat.
They use some high level phrases & terms to sound intellectual & explain the answers in a really vague manner.
#shareYourViews
@foxmulderDidn't watch Vision's.
Last year i watched it, it sounded like shit.
Since then i don't watch analysis etc.
Inke hisaab se chaloge toh nahi bann paaoge bureaucrat.
Ethics kaisa gya tumhara btw ?
@atuljibecause i couldn't fill pages man.
Filling pages makes a difference, doesn't it ?
@atuljii believe yes.
Reason:
Its quite difficult to increase your score in an answer from 5 marks to 7 marks.
But if you attempt a question in which you have very limited knowledge, you can get at least one mark.
I have heard this from 99% of the candidates who have ever cleared this exam.
Thanks man. But maybe because you did your 10 markers really well.
@destinirules2354i have also used the same Dr. kalam example bro.
@Rand_Al_Thorsahi kiya.
Faaltu ki choo-chapad se acha hai to the point likho.
Even i write to the point right from the starting. No anecdotes no shit.
@Haeckelbhai result 14th December ko karlo, 13th ko dost ki shaadi hai.
@Shubzmast hai, aur kya chahiye
It will increase, i am sure.
The essay on AI was quite specific and it was difficult to fill 12 pages in that narrow range.
Let me tell you guys what i have done.
I have written about threats posed by AI and also its Potential.
However i have focused more on the threat of jobless future ,(Dehumanisation of Industries) or better job opportunities through reskilling and upskilling.
Apart from this i have mentioned all the 1st, 2nd , 3rd & the 4th Industrial revolution.
Yes, i have also mentioned that the same things were also said about computers in the 1990s but India now exports IT services worth $110 Bn.
Aur bhi cheezein likhi hain.
The central idea is that other relevant things can be mentioned even if the essay asks about something specific.
Eagerly waiting for others' views.
@zombielandkindly mention some of them.
Exam ki difficulty ka level shayad ab kam lage when we have read solutions to them.
Asli assessment iss cheez ko dhyaan mein rakhkar hogi ki just after taking the exam, what were our thoughts.
What's your take on this ?
@TETRACYCLINEyes its a remedy i read somewhere.
However i didn't know about this earlier. Didn't write.
@TETRACYCLINEiss baar papers coaching centres ki current affairs booklet dekhkar hi banaye gaye hain especially GS 2 and GS 3.
Especially VisionIAS ki booklet almost useless thi iss baar.
Bro, how useful were those 32 vision tests you read for mains ?
Koi question aaya unmein se ?
@pra7009055i am stunned to see how vision guys missed UNESCO, UAPA and a few other important topics.
Those who depend hugely on vision magazines (including me) are at a disadvantage this time.
@Asli_hai_sabi have just found that UNESCO shit is mentioned in October 2017 vision current affairs magazine.
Its always better to cover the last 2 years.
Let me tell you what i wrote.
I could think of just 3 points.
*US wants India to engage military in Afghanistan but India has always maintained a no boots on ground policy.
*US wants India to participate more openly in QUAD but India has maintained a low profile because it doesn't want to be seen as Anti-China. (Exams ke baad se India is engaging with quad in a more open manner eg. 1st meeting of QUAD foreign ministers took place on 27th November 2019).
*US wants India to buy its Patriot missile system but India went ahead with Russia's S400 triumf missile system despite of fear of economic sanctions under CAATSA.
Fourth point could have been
*When US pulled out of Iran nuclear deal (2015) in 2017 unilaterally and imposed sanctions on Iran, it still had to grant a 6 months waiver to India along with 7 other countries.
@TETRACYCLINEyes, answers khud hi frame karne padte hain.
Iss baar there has been no spoon feeding.
@TETRACYCLINELimited points hi hain as far as i believe.
5th point yeh ho sakta hai ki
*India shares really good relations with both Iran & Saudi Arabia, Israel & Palestine, Russia & the US. Whereas, the US foreign Policy is Anti-Iran, Anti-Palestine & Anti-Russia. That's why the US is confused about India.
Took me 1 hour to think of this point.
I wish yeh tab soch leta main toh kitna acha hota.
Haan yaar.
Essay: Topics were more understandable than last year but doesn't mean that everyone wrote excellent.
GS1 was easy this time except one or two questions. People are gonna rock this i am sure.
GS2 difficult language but paper wasn't that difficult.
However, CAT, Harmonious construction, Service sector mein i have fucked up.
GS3 No bouncers Except Cyberdome & Watershed wala.
However i have fucked up in Vulnerability, Visvesaraya, TKDL, UAPA.
GS4 was slightly different but not that difficult. (However i have fucked up in this as well)
Baaki Optional ka bhagwaan jaane.
PSIR.
@sat_009Optional kya hai dost aapka ?
@STMain toh yeh sochta tha ki Sociology wale candidates ne ache likhe honge socio wale questions GS 1 mein.
Mera GS 1 aur GS4 bekaar gya hai dost.
@Lonewolfmere paas toh aisi koi khabar nahi hai.
Har baar har optional mein kisi na kisi ke 300+ aate hi hain.
I seriously don't deserve 300+ this time.
For current affairs, YES.
@STkoi baat nahi yaar. I consider you the best in sociology.
There are always bad days and good days.
Gs1 mujhe bhi difficult laga tha exam hall mein.
Par woh difficult tha nahi.
@failureideal score this time ?
@dancingminionhaan yaar yeh toh main maanta hoon. Log har baar bolte hain difficult difficult but still touch 300.
@sat_009PSIR.
The only good thing is that i have completed the papers.
Left only a 10 marker in paper 2.
@hirockyrocks7101let's not forget the controversial questions like
"Threats to cultural practices in the name of secularism".
@sat_009haan yehi dhyaan mein rakhkar saara karke aaya. Par jo chhod ke aaya woh bahut mushkil tha.
Kahin par irrelevant stuff nahi likha hai but in questions worth 50 marks, i could have written a bit better. I mean Ek do aur points add ho sakte thay.
@sat_009kismein?
@paranthapijjamaine likha hai both sides.
YES WE ARE LOSING
Change in attire.
Change in language (angrezi prefer karna)
Change in music taste (Western sunna)
Nuclear families, leaving elderly behind.
Live in relationship, forgetting the value of marriage.
People get settled in other countries and forget their values and culture and adopt the Host's culture & values.
NO WE AREN'T
Festivals pe ya family functions mein most of the women prefer Saree.
Many people prefer Mother tongue to communicate.
Nayi generation mein bhi kuch hain jo classical ke deewane hain
Many people don't desert their parents even now.
Many people have more faith in the institution of marriage and don't prefer Live in.
Many people even if they settle in foreign, don't leave their culture and values behind. Eg. Diwali being celebrated in the US, UK etc.
Iss se thoda poor hi likha hai actual exam mein maine.
@vvvikas0078212820-850 is the safest score to land in the Holy list. Par itna score karna zara mushkil hai, par namumkin nahi.
@dr-ahmednaaz8567Pub ad walo ka bhi bekaar gya hoga ?
What do you think ?
@TETRACYCLINE1700 cubic metre per person per year.
Or you could have written that 4670 litres per person per day.
Maine bhi galat number likha hai
@TETRACYCLINEwe shouldn't have answered it in terms if numbers. Humse galti hui hai dost.
We should have introduced it as
"Water stress refers to the condition when the demand of usable water crosses its availability."
Seems like we will be penalised for wrong facts.
@TETRACYCLINEHaan bhai, data ka use bhi appropriate jagah pe karna chahiye and it must be factually correct.
Too much data hurts.
@dancingminionachi khabar di hai Aapne.
But it must be true.
kahin aapka optional geography toh nahi ?
@vvvikas0078212please post the file here if you could.
@MycroftHolmesyeah, wear all your attempts like medals.
In my case, i have kept my UPSC journey a secret. Only my family knows about it.
No relative, not even my best friend, no shit.
That's the spirit man. My best wishes to you.
Even i am not confident about this time but still, let's see.
Gotta make it in the next attempt.
@ShubzThe poem is really beautiful.
Everyday i wake up, i am actually way prouder of myself than i ever was.
UPSC has definitely made me a way better person than i ever could be without it.
Selection hoga ya nahi, woh main nahi jaanta. Par yeh safar yaad rahega hamesha.
#WeAreStrongerForTomorrow
Bhai jiss din tum IAS bann jaaoge na, woh zindagi bhar swaad nahi le paaega kisi aur ka.
Mehnat karte raho, kamaal hoga ek din i bet.
Haan yahan log help karte hain ek doosre ki without any problem. Tum kisi bhi cheez ke notes maango ya koi doubt poocho, people are always there to help.
Bass kuch log deliberately kisi baat ko kisi aur direction mein le jaakar apni knowledge dikhaate hain, woh nahi hona chahiye.
Koi baat nahi, people become better with time.
Beizzati ki kahani Inspirational story mein badal jaaegi bhai, bass ek baar naam aa gya list mein toh.
Main yeh jaanta hoon ki iss exam mein there is no shortcuts.
Mehnat karni hai acche se, outcome ke baare mein soche bina.
@TeddyWestsideVulnerability se GS 3 ka vulnerability wala question yaad aa gya.
@SandyMatashLiar Liar, pants on fire.
Don't spread rumours man.
@RagsIn sab fake accounts pe "ANDI MANDI SHANDI" Act lagna chahiye.
Mujhe lagta hai ki Pre-1967 wala congress type time firse laut ke aa rha hai BJP era ke roop mein.
I believe its a cycle and people will soon understand what's going on and will run towards coalition politics maybe in the 2024 Lok sabha elections or 2029 mein.
What do you think ?
@RagsI love our PM. I think he is the best PM India has ever had.
Though i also have some concerns but I believe its better for me to keep them to myself.
Nahi toh CBI ya ED peeche pad jaaega. Haha.
@DKTLast 4 lines are fucking awesome man. Love.
Bhailog, jo bhi hoga accha hi hoga.
Civil services is just one of the infinite opportunities we have these days.
Sab IAS, IPS bann jaaenge toh ULTRARICH kaun banega ?
There is a spot for all of us in this huge world and our destiny will drive us towards it eventually.
To be honest, i will never force my parents to sell their house to get me into the Civil services. Apne matlab ke liye unko kyun homeless karna.
(Agar woh homeless ho gye toh saala koi chutiya YouTuber aaega aur video banaega "surprising homeless people". Hahah)
As a wrap up, main bass yeh kehna chahta hoon ki jo log kuch bada achieve karna chahte hain, woh achieve karenge. Nobody can stop them. Not getting into Service is OK. Many people may not agree with me today but they will after 3-4 years jab unki life mein achi cheezein hone lagengi.
The show must go on, we have got just one life, civil servant banke extra life Nahi mil jaaegi.
Isliye jiyo bhai, enjoy karo, have a balance between this exam and your life.
Hum aspirants mein se bhi kaafi log hain jo dil se kuch aur karna chahte hain....woh kisi aur cheez mein behtar hain par due to various circumstances...they are a part of this journey.
I wish luck to all of us.
@Kevin_De_Bruyneyes i just found it.
Aapne toh acha kiya hoga case studies fir ?
@tssI just read the report and there are some really good recommendations.
Protection of honest civil services wali case study directly yahin se hai.
Politicisation of bureaucracy par bhi ek do points mil jaaenge yahan se.
Next attempt mein padhunga isko ab.
@Caesaryeh kaun madam hain ?
@Caesarbtw padh bhi lete toh yaad karna mushkil hota..they are lengthy recommendations.
@atuljizyaada yaad nahi.
Ek hi point yaad hai ki
Jaise governor ko immunity di jaati hai for anything done by him for discharging his functions...aisi immunity civil servants ko de sakte hain taaki woh fearlessly kaam Kar sakein. However, the door of judicial review are always open.
I APOLOGIZE TO MY FELLOW FORUMITES FOR DISCUSSING AN ANSWER AT THIS MOMENT.
@bevancomI agree with you gentleman.
Unn recommendations ko yaad rakhne ke liye special focus chahiye....aur woh special focus tab aata hai jab aapko intuition ho ya pehle se pata ho ki yeh type ka question aaega.
Jo normal mudde hain unke baare mein 2nd ARC ne kya recommendations di hain woh toh vision monthly mein cover ho jaata hai. Uske alawa jo kuch cheezein bach jaati hain, uske liye aap 2nd ARC padh sakte hain (summary summary).
@atuljimujhe bhi yaad hain bahut saare apne bekaar answers. Par ab koi baat nahi, kuch tih seekha hi hai iss mains se.
I hope next attempt dene ki zarurat na pade, par agar padi bhi toh aur taaqat ke saath tackle karna hai iss exam ko.
@TETRACYCLINEab yaar questions discuss karke bhi maza nahi aaega....anciety badh chuki hai kaafi.
Newspaper padhte raho bass.
I believe that these College going kids should focus on their studies and relationships stuff rather than indulging themselves into political activities. I am of the opinion that admission of such students should be cancelled with immediate effect.
I have also talked to some DU kids about the CAB and believe me, they know no shit about it.
In addition to this, I seriously believe that JNU is becoming a hub of anti-Nationals. Shayd unko lagta hai ki bass woh hi ab desh ke muddo ko samajh sakte hain aur baaki India chutiya hai.
Moreover, they are ruining their own future by boycotting exams. Saale mahine mein thousands of rupees ki cigarettes pi jaate hain, maal phoonk lete hain but can't pay a small sum of 600rs for their accomodation. I once read a student saying "I will have to leave my studies if the fee hike isn't taken back". Seriously man ? Nobody will be harmed if you leave your studies & destroy your career for just Rs 600. BC itna gareeb toh maine koi nahi dekha aaj tak. Nahi padhega toh "ismein tera ghata".
Baaki BHU ke students ke stand ke bhi main khilaaf hoon. Koi Muslim agar Sanskrit ka professor hai toh yeh toh humaare desh ke liye garv ki baat hai. It shows the beauty of our culture.
@vvvikas0078212leader banne ke bhi kuch tareeke hote hain, constitutional means already established hain. Har koi protest karega toh ho gya kaam iss desh ka.
@vvvikas0078212and yes i know other components as well including INR 2000 security deposit.
I don't see anything wrong in this.
@Yes_I_am_inPolitical empowerment hona chahiye par yeh tareeka nahi hai. Pehle bacche apni padhai toh poori kar lein, otherwise kal ko woh khud bhi anpadh neta bann jaaenge.
Ek aur baat, protest karke woh log younger generation ke saamne yeh precedent set kar rahe hain ki "Iss desh mein constitutional means kaam nahi karte, protest karna hi sahi hai"
Sahi raaste (constitutional) hamesha mushkil hote hain par best hote hain.
Galat raaste (protests) hamesha easy hote hain par bekaar hote hain.
Country ki image kharab hoti hai international fora mein, investors bhaag jaate hain etc etc....you know other implications quite well.
@King_of_the_deadGandhi's protests were unconstitutional as there was no constitution during his time. As you clearly know that the constitution was adopted in 1949 and commenced in 1950. Thank you.
@King_of_the_deadMoreover, when law and order situation arises, the police has enough rights to use force.
Suppose, Aap kabhi kisi protest mein fans jaao (you are not a part of it...) and a law and order situation arises. Aapko apni jaan mushkil mein lagegi toh aap chaahoge ki Police kuch bhi karke aapko harm na hone de.
Log law haath mein na lein, yeh kaam hai Police ka.
@BGPDissent dikhaane ke aur bhi means hain. Apna hi desh jalaakar banda prove kar deta hai apni irrationality. Aise logon ki kya credibility ?
Leader ka kaam hota hai sahi raasta dikhana, yahan toh sab protesters hain sahi raasta kisi ko pata nahi ya pasand nahi.
Ek aur baat, government ko elect kiya hai hum sabne in a fair free and transparent manner. Therefore we have to support all of its actions.
Everyone knew what's gonna happen if the NDA forms the government.
And everyone knows that in a democracy, the will of majority prevails.
@John_Titormy friend, India is a very different nation than any of the countries or cities you have mentioned.
West mein Miracle of East aise hi nahi bulaate India ko. The whole world recognises India for its strong foundational principles and its amazing constitution. Iss image ko maintained rakha jaaye toh acha rahega. Protest karke hum bhi unn bekaar countries ke logon ki tarah hi pesh aa rahe hain.
@vvvikas0078212British ne jo bhi introduce kara uski koi value nahi because there was no will of the people. That shitty government wasn't elected by Indians..
Par yahan humne free, fair & transparent manner mein vote dekar mandate diya hai NDA ko government banane ka aur chalane ka...
Isliye Jo government karegi sab manzoor hai.
@BGPstudent ho toh chill karo bhai...
Elders are already present to take care of the country's issues.
@TETRACYCLINEgovernor's role has always been a bone of contention in Centre-State relations. Don't wanna discuss it.
Fadnavis couldn't become CM because he lacked majority. Don't wanna discuss this as well...
Lagta hai history optional hai aapka.
Anyways, 1949 se pehle ki baat mat karo bhai, constitution aane ke baad ki baat karo.
Shaheed Bhagat Singh fought against a Non-democratic government. Usko aaj ke protests se compare mat karo.
@TETRACYCLINECBI ka functioning hamesha se hi sawaalon mein hai.
SC ne idk in year 2011 or 2013, "CBI ko caged parrot" bola tha. Tab different government thi at the centre.
As far as withholding of data & reports is concerned, my best friend is in MoSPI and he told me that withholding of data & reports isn't anything new or confined to just this government.
Government ke actions agar pasand nahi hain toh ya toh koi aur government elect karo next time ya fir khud election lado.
Baaki main agree karta hoon ki sab discuss hona chahiye ...par again tareeke se.
@King_of_the_deadit was partially democratic. Kya viceroy of India Indians elect karte thay directly or indirectly ? I guess no...
Log yahan discussion ko alag direction mein le jaakar apni knowledge dikhaate hain. Yeh maine pehle bhi kaha tha.
Mudde se bhatak gaye ho aap log...
Political accountability ensure karne ke "tareeke" pe charcha kar rha tha main.
Protests are wrong.
Constitutional means are right.
Bass yehi kehna tha.
GRETA KI TARAH AAP LOG BHI CHILL KAREIN.
Students ko pehle apne exams ka padhna chahiye.
Uske baad unko mudda theek se samajhna chahiye. How many books have they read ? How much understanding do they have about constitution, preamble, secularism etc etc.
Woh bhole hain, kuch pata nahi unhein. Right to equality ka Article number puch kar dekhna unse ek baar. Ya kuch aur bhi puch sakte ho
Jab issue mki understanding ke liye reason hi nahi hai unke paas toh kaise maan liya jaaye ki yeh bacche sahi baat kar rahe hain.
Mujhe lagta hai globalisation ki wajah se west se dressing sense ya accent copy karne ke saath saath they have also started copying a new fashion "Protess against the government".
Ask them why they are protesting ?
You will hear "coz its cool man"
@rookie01society ki zimmedari poore desh mein JNU ke students pe hi hai kya ?
Fees zyaada hi honi chahiye aise institutions ki taaki "Neta Nagri wale Non Serious candidates apne ghar mein baithein".
Jo serious hai woh aaega aur chupchaap padhega, achi profile banega aur dekh ka naam raushan karega. Future mein shayad election contest karke government bhi banaye.
I don't care about knowledge, i care about wisdom and being civilised.
Itne padhe likhe hone ka koi benefit nahi if you cannot stick to the values of the Constitution.
AAP candidates barring a few exceptions.
Haar jeet nahi hai mere bhai yahan.
Main toh bass bakar badha rha tha yaar.
Enjoy Bangkok Goa.
@kartikayias234disqualified if not meeting general cutoff for pre.
This is what i know.
Correct me anyone if i am wrong.
Abhi Information and communication technology itna developed hai ki Globalisation ki taaqat bahut badh gyi hai.
1980s ke time pe bhi protests chal.rahe thay in various parts of the world. To mention a few,
JP movement 1975-77.
Iran 1979
Strikes and protests in response to British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s economic reforms.
Poland lighting up through the 1980s while Cold War-era Eastern Europe stays dark.
The escalation of apartheid protests in South Africa in the late 1980s.
INDIAN YOUTH ANGREZO KO ZYADA COPY KARTA HAI, YEH MERA EXPERIENCE HAI.
Apna culture of tolerance, rationality and harmony ko bhool kar unko western values zyaada pasand aati hain.
Saare Nibba Nibbi bewaqoof hain.
@vvvikas0078212Mere bhai Judiciary hai na Scams aur unconstitutional actions ko scrutinise karne ke liye. Petition daalo aur intezaar karo.
Protests karke kiska role hadapna chahte hain yeh "intellectuals" ?
Judiciary ka Legislature ka ya Executive ka.
@Shubzhaha. Sahi bhai.
Results ke liye intezaar kar karke mera mood kharab ho rha hai.
Ab toh neww year ke baad hi padhai hogi. Jai Hind.
@CaesarOh yeah. Thanks Caesar bro.
@DKTYeh quote alag hoga.
Maine toh Kapil ke show pe suna tha. Krushna ka punch hai.
@K_9bro make sure you don't end up with Caitlyn Jenner.
