Guys, Essay Paper is over. How was it?
Out , PSIR Optional , First attempt , First mains
did my best , overcome obstacles and did everything i could do .
but now I think this exam demands more from us than we think at the beginning of the preperation .
As it is said failures teaches us more than success so will learn from the mistakes and will come back stronger .
I have been a silent spectator here .This community has helped me a lot so thank you all .
Congrats to all those who are In .
What was ur correct attempt for maths optional brother ?
330 correct and 80+ partially correct.
Maths was average for me. GS essay went well. That might have made the difference
Out with Anthro... 2nd attempt 1st mains..
Though I kind of knew I will be out as I started my optional preparation after the prelims result but man that 2.5 months!! That has to be the hardest working & slogging 2.5 months of my entire life... I was hoping for a miracle to happen to get into the holy pdf..
The taxing effect mains prep causes on the body is real, did not even start my prep for 2023 till now... time to get back into rhythm and give a well-prepared solid attempt next year!

Hi, can you please tell me how did you improve for your Mains year-on-year , It's being very difficult to know where did things go wrong in GS. Matlab almost answered all questions -atleast relevant to most questions !
But still was out
Out, Maths optional
5th attempt, 3rd Mains, 0 interview
For me what hurt more than failing at CSE repeatedly is getting comfortable with the failure. Sitting idle, doing few rounds of likhai-padhai all round the year seems easier than going out to the work and put effort to chalk out a different destination. It feels like i have made peace with the failure. Iss baar nahi hua to agli baar ho jayega!!! My mind trick me to keep stuck myself in this preparation as it seems easy and comfortable. I had work experience of good 7 years before jumping into this trap, still i didn't rejoin my work during entire preparation phase and remain unemployed for 5 years!!! Why? Not because preparing another year will add substantial value to my preparation, its because I am hesitant to give up the comfort which I enjoy during preparation without any accountability. Again I am thinking ab to ek hi attempt bacha hai, woh bhi dede😀
In with Maths optional. 3rd attempt, 3rd mainsBro can you kindly let us know your correct attempt etc..?
and also do you think maths optional was butchered this time !
Bro, in P1 185 correct + 35 partial attempt and in P2 165 correct + 45 partial attempt. I committed 50 marks worth silly mistakes in those 80 partial attempt.
A lot of my friends with maths optional didn't get through. Only after the final marksheet we can tell if the scaling was unfavorable.
Out. History optional- 3rd attempt, 2nd Mains
Got 274 in History in 2021 mains (missed interview call by 7 marks)
Felt had a better attempt at optional or atleast at par with last year. GS also was better than last time
Overall expected a call. Think history fared poorly this time, don't know how others did
Got 3rd interview call in 5th attempt. My lessons/experiences 1- l am no more thrilled over getting interview call. For I dont know my written score and interview fate. 2- l didn't calculate my score after mains, didn't participate in any question answer discussion, knowing well that all this is futile.I will never advice anyone what to do, how to attempt answers. Because I have not listened to anyone. I dont attach any importance to so called toppers and coaching gurus in this great Indian gamble. 3- In an earlier post I explained why this exam is a pure gamble. I stick to it despite my success. 4- I have been able to endure this excruciatingly painfull preparation process only because I derive immense pleasure from intellectual engagement. 5- when I first got interview call, my relatives said I didnt mingle with them because I looked down upon them. After my failure they said I did not mingle with them because I was ashamed of my failure. In fact, I enjoy solitude in a treacherous world.
If I were to advise only one thing to anyone entering this journey I would say just don't tell to anyone that you are preparing. Idk how did I get so much wisdom that too in my second year of college I started preparing in stealth mode. Only a few college friends know that, too was inevitable
