@dr-ahmednaaz8567i agree with u. I wrote 2016,2017 mains and felt gs4 marking tougher in latter year but remaining were similar. Have no idea on 2018 marking. i guess good answers addressing all parts of qn will fetch easily 5/10 and 9/15 any time. Rest depends on scheme employed in that particular year.
@Shubzyes, i guess gs3 compensated for reduction in gs4 marks that year
On what grounds a people’s representative can be disqualified under the representation of people act, 1951? Also mention the remedies available to such person against his
disqualification.
This was the qn asked, how many might have written the sections of rpa mentioning the grounds of disqualification. I wrote it plain like paid news,corrupt practices etc. I know i wont get more than 4/5 in this.
@ranyo_asokaAfter reading qn, i felt section numbers should be written so i attempted this in last half an hour just mentioning grounds of disqualification. That's the reason i'm predicting 4/5 marks
@TeddyWestsides ur correct, i wrote it in bit of hurry and barely remember what exactly i wrote.
@ranyo_asokayes, marking is difficult to predict, this is just a guess for self satisfaction
@TeddyWestsideI know nothing abt it, so just kept heading as greek and c.asian influence and wrote greek features. so, attempted for just 5marks
@TeddyWestsideIn model answers of insights and ias baba they mentioned something abt architecture. I have never studied abt it.
@TeddyWestsideTrue, qns like these are very specific and difficult to write to the point. Institutes have not given relevent content even after much time.
@sat_009i guess only minor amt of ppl might have written c.asian influence correctly and they wud surely be rewarded
@ranyo_asokai wrote something on same lines. Dont remember exactly what i wrote but mentioned example of BRTS-Ahmedabad
@Yes_I_am_in10% means nearly 1000 people, its a big number
@dr-ahmednaaz8567This was another specific qn where very less content was written by me. I wrote how the poverty rate is india is decreasing but ranking in hunger index is less. wrote general stuff like less exp by govt and increasing out of pocket exp and so on.
@sat_009bhai, how was anthro marking in 2018 i.e for 10,15,20 marks?
@sat_009good score bhai
@sat_009Hmm.. i wrote in 2016 and 17 got 270 and 260's. This time i wrote 20 markers first as i felt i was compromising on their quality in previous 2 attempts
@Anthromani wrote 4,6,7 in paper 1
@Anthromani too wrote abt moths in transient but they asked abt human related egs which i dont know. i didnt write good answer in this qn
@Yes_I_am_inThe answers we write are mostly exhausted within the week of optional prep. Mostly we remember the line of thought. Also performance is subjective, qns have various interpretations and everything is fine in upsc. There is no need to worry bhai. Stay confident
@Haeckelcrct bhai. I gave my 4th attempt and 3rd mains, got less in gs2 both times 72 and 82. still cant figure out why i get less. I got them verified by my friends who cleared mains with good gs2 marks. But its still a mystery for me.
@Yes_I_am_ingaurav agarwal i think
@sat_009I guess it might be at max 10-15 marks less. I also belong to UR
@GloriousMess26competition is really tough and getting tougher, should adapt quickly or else its difficult to secure one's dream
Looks like i'm the only person who didnt write this qn. Wrote it in last min, drew map of nw india highlighting punjab, haryana, rajasthan and wrote there itself the food products produced there. Being the first person in class, the invigilator took my ppr as soon as bell rang. Felt bad after exam that i didnt mange time properly.
My answer for this qn was a bit different compared to above mentioned ones. I wrote how different sections of ppl in india got involued in national movement due to efforts of gandhi. Eg- farmers, women, artisans,muslims, etc and movements that brought them to freedom struggle there by strenghtening it.
Despite seeing different answers i still feel that i may get gud marks in it.
@sat_009I expect the same bro
@ranyo_asokas similar was my approach and after seeing the answers here, i reread the qn and felt the qn can be written this way as well.
@ranahere999s its true, use of reservation at any stage of exam by candidate makes him/her to be alloted only category seat and not UR seat. eg- tina dabi, though her marks in mains and interview are top, by virtue of clearing prelims in sc category she was not alloted UR seat as per my knowledge
@ManchesterUnitedThis is my 4th attempt and 3rd mains-2016,17,this year.
2016- 1st mains wrote good, no idea of marking or results tension. Cleared mains with slim margin of 10 marks. missed final by 40 marks[ interview-151 Bassi sir, GS 2-72]
2017- unhealthy, less preperation, Didnt write the factual qns like nuclear stages,budget and so on well. Also blunder of writing 10 markers first with spending less time on 15 markers effected my chance of clearing mains[ got 750, gs2 -once again 82 despite writing better]
2018 didnt give attempt
2019- All pprs went good, expecting to clear but feeling so tensed unlike earlier years.
All these yrs i tried to improve gs2 with less reward and i still dont know why i end up getting below avg marks in that ppr. So, this yr i focused more on optional.
@vvvikas0078212To be frank, in 2017 pprs were easy. Many direct qns came and it cant be compared with this yrs- both GS and optional. In Anthro i feel, more and more specific qns are being asked unlike earlier yrs were most of the qns used to be direct.
@vvvikas0078212My writing style is so simple, this was one of the reason pointed out for my less marks in gs2. I tried to artificially include articles and cases in 2017 but it didnt actually pay off. Further, i relied on vision 365 without reading static stopics in syllabus which was a fault. This yr i tried to correct it, should see how it worked out.
@yummyI dont understand what the person gets in creating pdfs like this. But looking at it seems like he might have taken ample amount of time trying to fool people
@ChanakyaDepends on marking pattern, i wud guess it to be around 760-780. All the best to everyone, hoping our wait to end in next couple of days.
@Nalandas anything might happen. According to seats in notfn, i guess not much increase in UR seats so i thought cutoff wud be similar or slightly less than last year
@AzadHindFauzoh.. so the wait goes on. Anyway thanks for update bro.
