Guys, Essay Paper is over. How was it?
I recall my feeling during gs 4
the way cs is made and looking at the length of 10 markers, one thing is for sure, I can’t sit around and figure out the so called demand of every question.
I do have a certain format which needs to be followed but if I start out solving this paper like one of those mocks, I’m done. Better to apply whatever logistics there is to it.
@Street_lamp Similar Concerns like you.UPSC must rethink its role as A Merit Watchdog.Take the case of 2022 GS4 PAPER. TO ME, that paper is absolutely senseless to say the least. In other GS (1,2,3) to a larger extent one can go with prior preparation. But in GS4 case studies : No one can prepare beforehand for Case study Part other than seeing PYQ and making sense out of it.I wonder whether this exam is a Time test or Aptitude test for A Future Bureaucrat. If UPSC does give more time for students to think and write, they can really write brilliant answer which makes a lot of sense.But by Giving Gigantic Section A part with Editorial like Case studies in Section B, that too to finish it off in a span of 3 hours, The whole process becomes a mere ritualBreaking Mental resolve of a Sincere aspirants doesn't make any sense as it deprive UPSC to see who can bring innovative solutions to ever lasting problems in India.I left one case study. While writing, my two fingers stopped responding for movement as it got paralysed in between. Yet i couldn't complete.If i think in GS4, Time is LOSTIf i don't think and Write, Quality is LOSTIN BOTH CASES, MARKS ARE LOST!!!I STILL DON'T HAVE CLUE HOW DID PEOPLE FINISH THIS PAPER WITH QUALITY. SALUTE THEM
The gs4 paper was analytical, lengthy and complex and I also missed significant marks-equivalent questions. this paper has potential to ruin my prospects of success and this is my 4th attempt. But I still believe this was the finest gs4 paper crafted in the history of cse.
To argue that upsc needs to rethink it's role as merit watchdog simply because you missed a case study is very mean and myopic. Try to look from their perspective. Extremely limited syllabus, too much competition and rigid framework skeleton of question paper pattern (13 two pagers with 3 quote questions, 6 case studies like always). Yet the way they innovated in 2 pagers is beyond beautiful.
yes the case studies were mechanical, but if they weren't it would have taken even more time to solve them. Bureaucrats often require quick decision making like in cases of disaster management, naxal attack, health emergency etc. if you complain about a lengthy paper to the extent of demanding upsc to rethink it's role as merit watchdog, you better self-introspect.
Also, I can assure you, if you truly work hard, failure to solve a paper or to achieve success in cse won't hurt you to the extent of breaking your resolve.everyone can write brilliant answers if upsc gives more time, but only few who diligently burnt the midnight oil for days weeks months and years can write brilliant answers in less time.
The principal source of my discontent is not simply the fact that you questioned the role of upsc as watchdog of merit system, but the supremely incompetent reasons you used to justify your stand.

@Street_lamp i second u. this year UPSC just tested English reading capabilities and comprehension in paper 4. Content and context of questions were as usual, infact I found it easy and straight forward.UPSC just made paper verbose and tried to confused people with useless data, hiding matter of concern required to solve cases. For Instance prabhat and shubah case study, faltu data bahut tha ..UPSC shabdo me gumaya hai is sal, not conceptually gumaya.In short, CSAT me English kamjor walo ki Lanka lagi hai, jiski reading speed kharab hai unki bhi.. so saying paper was tough..Paper was tough, if we consider length and English reading capacity of general masses, it was easy if we see as per Ethics Syllabus.UPSC tested, ram katha sunane k baad, apko issues kitna samajme aya... Real life me aisa hi hota... Esp girls😂 .. matter kuch aur hota hai...guma fira k batayege..... Samajne wale gist samaj jate... Same happens in professional life also.. direct koi baat na karta, sab sale guma fira k baat karte and that skill of understanding gist, must have for Bureaucrats.#my views are not universal, so criticism are welcome
Lol so you are criticizing heavy role of English language in the paper 4. bro you can write the paper in hindi, tamil and numerous other languages. It was your choice to go with English. upsc gave you choice of language, nothing was imposed upon you 😂😂

looking at severely compromised quality of your choice of words, i now realise i was attempting to reason with very unreasonable anthropogenic structures. i advice you to self -introspect. with highly unethical language that you leverage as a ventilator of your innate frustrations, how can you Excel ever in a paper that tests your very Ethical competencies. it clearly resonates with your language style how a bit of reasonable criticism is sufficient to expose the unethical overlord that resides within you. what you just did was a demonstration show of intolerance. Anyways, instead of preaching moral policing here, look within your own self and the very inappropriate language you used. I'm sure you wouldn't like anyone else to respond with a similar audacity.
