Guys, Essay Paper is over. How was it?
@Aspirant123 options should be always be more than two.
where is it written? on what official basis do you assert that?
min 3 is must.two that you choose most probably be extremes
And what do people with humanities optional do for the same?
I mean marks awarded are definitely very elastic. For instance, people can get 210-310 in psir/sociology. A person getting more than 280 must be getting 60% marks in many questions.
Does anybody have any idea on how to rate their performance in humanities optional paper (like in GS one can take a conservative estimate)?
Koi iska bhi bata do please. I think someone with an experience of giving mains with humanities optional must have cracked how optional marking is different than GS.
Obviously nobody can tell for sure. Wait and watch is the name of the game. But if any kind of clarity can be provided, it'd be great especially for the newbies.
@Capedcrusader1 3 is required when you choose two extremes and u have to choose middle pathBut if your options are not extreme then u can choose one of them n there is no need of 3Eg Environment notice question one can say option 1 withdraw notice option 2nd- issue notice with time for complying with standardsOr one of the extremes is the answerEg Prabhat question either u select or reject candidature
pata nai bhai. usually i find 2 extremeties very easily. the other 2 require some thinking
1) remain indifferent2) support your doubt and ask@Aspirant123 for more clarification3) support@Aspirant123 and give u how 3 options can be give.There is not hard and fast rule..esp that jumbo case study.. subhas prabhat.. there were only two options that is either select or reject... Aur select karna hi uska answer tha... Reject karne k cons jada pros kam the .. so case study can have its own solution without resorting to multidimensional thinking as Cult in UPSC
don't tell me what to do. McCullum.focus on coaching your England cricket team, world cup is coming.

bhai 2 option approach is best, sari creativity agar dikhani ho to course of action ne dikhani hoti he jo puchha hi nahi gaya. last time mene 2 options hi diye the 2021 me and my score of 98 in gs4 was decent given my poor performance in 2 pagers that year. so don't worry about that.

ap more than two options toh select karoge hi. kyunki next me apko middle path lena h. aur agar sirf 2 loge toh merit demerit zaada likhne padenge. muje yaad nai last time kya aya tha. but course of action nai pucha islie aur bhi zaada important h more options explore karna. agar course of action rehta toh alag se likh lete 1 page. but yahan toh justification dena h kisi ek option ka jo ki course of action rahega. obviously wo option detailed rahega.
last year se koi lena dena nai

@krishna96 how did u manage to finish paper on time during ur preparation along with good coverage of thinkers ?
Bhai ji this is my 5th attempt so I had good content..and answer writing in previous mains..but as i told I have written 2.5 page answer in one question, and probably 3 in another..so you can say 2 answers are not good..due to paucity of time
I want to ask something to those who clear mains or miss mains by a whisker:
for gs 1,2,3, how many questions do you actually know the answer to.
do you also know the answer to static questions which are asked out of the blue?
how many questions are well answered?
only if you’ve done self analysis. Thank you
