In, range was about 110-120 from different keys
Mood is quite sombre as many I know haven't quite cleared this stage.
Hope people appreciate the chance they've been given and do their best for the upcoming mains
Best of luck to all
Wow! Congratulations!! All the best for mains :)

But, Mains is the key. Those who couldn't make the cut, please don't get disheartened. You have got a great headstart for the 2021 Mains. Make sure 2021 becomes your last attempt!
I'll try to contribute to the community in whatever ways possible. This community is family now.
Arise, awake and not stop until selection!

@Gaurav thanks mate. is it useful to get them evaluated and no discussion or is a Test series better option? What's your opinion/experience ?Can't exactly answer your question because I never took any test series, but I feel any institute which runs test series or answer writing evaluation program, offering its services to infinite number of people, is bound to become mediocre over time and end up giving ordinary reviews. So, doesn't matter you subscribe to a test series of this institute or that! If you manage to find any senior and get your answers reviewed from him, nothing better than it in my opinion. Another option is to learn to do self review maybe with the help of synopsis or by comparing your answers to those of others.
@JackFarmer You may consult him if you wish.

He has cleared mains once as I recall, so the evaluation must not be that poor. This much only I can say. :)
Raillife,
thankyou so much @Hitman2021 and@GaryVee . :)

Was happily jotting down my plans to check malnutrition among adolescents girls, and suddenly, out of no where, UPSC posted the pdf which was supposed to be released not this soon. The frantic search for the admit card, and the haphazardly executed 'ctrl F' unfortunately culminated in the painful display of 'no matches found'. Out for this time.
Have learned so much on this platform. Wishing to all those invited to write mains dil se good luck. Indebted to humility and wisdom of so many wonderful people here. Let's try to keep up the vibrancy of these threads.

This IAS Network is making some buzz. Anyone has a first hand review of them?I had subscribed to it for a month. Wrote and submitted answers on two different days but I was not satisfied with the review. If you wish, I can upload those reviewed answers for you to see yourself and find out how they were.
Since there is no mechanism to send PDF files of those reviewed answers in inbox, which you asked for, I am attaching them here only. Have a look and then decide your further course of action.
