@K_9said inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

@John_TitorAre vision 365 modules enough to cover paper 2 paper 3 or do we need to revise monthly booklets too?

so far current affairs are concerned the booklets cover most of the things but there are few topics in syllabus for which you will have to refer online resources or vision value added material for ex- voluntary sector, cropping pattern etc . Also , try to make notes out of the 365 atleast for the GS3 ,because as exam approaches you will find 365 intolerable due to information overload

Is there any thread for important topics for mains 2019

@ManchesterUnitedIs there any thread for hot topics for GS and essay ??

Can we use black gel pen ?

@John_Titorsahi bole bhai .. ab toh lag raha ki 29 sep aa jaye bas

@harsh12345said inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

@K_9@LostStarted with how the first line of our class 4 History book started with the line "History is His Story, the story of Man". Gave examples of historical aspects inspiring current principles (Rig Vedic Sabha, Chola = PRI today, Ashoka = diplomacy), how we learn from mistakes (colonialism = WTO, Hiroshima = Disarmament). Just built upon points like these.

What was the essay topic ?

@sat_009said inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

@bevancompaper kaisa gaya ye dekhne ke liye question ko subparts me divide karke marks ka analysis karna chahiye, last year ka marks ke jaise hi checking hua aise consider karke faisala nahi le sakte, every question paper has its own character, interview calls depend upon following factors -

1. Kisi paper me bhot kam marks na mil jaye atleast average in all papers is must.
2. 2 3 papers should be exceedingly well.
   3.papers are left blank for more than 1 or 2 questions.
3. optional ethics case studies essay philosophical determine rank in the end.

Papers are left blank for more than 1 or 2 questions means ??

The best way we can utilize this forum to kickstart our interview prep... lets start the constructive discussion .. Those who have already appeared for interviews can guide the newbies like me and we all can utilise time before mains in constructive way..

lets post our home state , optional , hobbies so that we can find similar profiles and start preparing together in more better way ..

kya bolte ho bhai log????

Bhai Log any one who has written first mains at the age of 30 ?

What ur plan now considering the unpredictability of upsc ?

If things go haywire .. is it advisable to attempt one more time ?

@saurabhyadav25022698yes bhai , working but I don’t like my current job

@pmishra997125bhai have u written specific answers to the 10 markers questions asked in paper 2 section 1 and section 2 ?

Have u rewritten the answers again after coming from the exam ? If yes , kindly do share.

@pmishra997125yes .. read your answers outlines .. mujhe laga ki agar phir se laga hoga toh idea lag jayega

10 markers were too specific in paper -2

@AkkkuHaan bhai I m sometimes rigid in my views because earlier I was easily swayed and I tasted defeat everywhere in life.
Since the time I have started believing in myself and listened to others less,life has been much easier and pretty good and with less hurdles..

But aap toh suru se topper the na .. marksheet Bhi Dali thi Aapne

@AzadHindFauzsaid inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

This wait is to continue. The order will not be pronounced tomorrow since it has missed the causelist and also, the supplementary list.

What next? Since UPSC is as eager as us, they may request a mentioning of the matter before Chairman for an urgent pronouncement. This can happen only tomorrow. If the Chairman deems fit such a request, he may pronounce the order on Monday. If no such request is made, it might take longer.

So, let's be hopeful for Monday now.

Upsc ya CAT koi serious nahi Lag raha for this year result .. Sab maje Le rahe

@AzadHindFauzfor result announcement or uploading of CAT Judgment ?

@Shubzbhai puri judgement upload kar do if possible
