Mains 2021: Doubt and strategy discussion thread
I don't know what to say, really. Prelims is over. The discussion as regards the authenticity of answer keys is the most futile discussion. So, I am creating this thread as a necessary and much-needed diversion. Three months to the biggest battle of our professional lives begins now. All comes down to how we heal and grow from now on, and either, we heal or we're gonna crumble. Day by day.
We're in a toxic environment right now, fellas. Believe me. And, we can stay here, get the s**t kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. Mains is the road ahead for everyone of us notwithstanding our current predicament. So, let's continue to fight and not let our guard down.
Yours faithfully

@MAYANK7273 Please clarify regarding this
@MAYANK7273 2019 is a typo error, it must have been 2020. Since, FY 2018-19 completes on 31.03.2019, certificate based on it's income can only be prepared after that. Your's is fine.

@utkarshk Afaik it’s not a typo. To be eligible for ews in cse 2020, you need to have certificate by last date of prelims application which is before the end of FY 2020. That’s why they ask you for EWS FY 2019(2018-19)
But that should be FY 2019-20 and also govt. is issuing ews certificate from 2019, so how can be certificate from fy 2018-19
@MAYANK7273 That is what you need. No reason to worry.

@MAYANK7273 Please read your EWS certificate. The financial year 2018-19 should be mentioned in the certificate if it was issued in November 2019.
