@mvp I guess paper 2 of almost every optional looked easy after seeing the paper at first but while writing it felt weird and twisted.

Those who generally get 250+ in science optionals in mains, what is the safe margin of marks they attempt out of 250 in both the papers?? Can anyone please share?

@mvp Same happened with geography, paper 2 was mostly application based, so it was difficult to think a proper structure instantaneously.

The principal reason why Pakistan is highly unlikely to lift World T20 cup is it's over dependency on it's opening pair. Hamza Alavi's concept finds coherence in the structure of Pakistan cricket team as well. Pakistan cricket team is over-developed in the sense that  while babar-rizwan axis does provide it strength of steel, yet the fragile yet turbulent middle order remains indicative of resembling what alavi calls as military-bureaucracy-oligarchy. Thus, if either of the babar-rizwan defences is breached, the over developed middle order will be subjected to transparent exposure, and the team will collapse in one of a hundred thousand complex yet subtle ways. Indian cricket team must ensure not to build overdeveloped team structure as it makes it very easy for opponent in decisive games to capture victory. In other words, overdependecy breeds over development which is the Antagonistic Contradiction to Sustainability and Self reliance.

@MasterMind Exactly, question choices were also very difficult. Structuring was the main issue in questions related to SEZ, IRNSS, Groundwater contamination in urban areas, and linguistic states emergence. Some 10 markers were very GS-type questions.

@MC Cullum one paper will not make much difference if you have done well in other papers. In my case, all the papers went bad compared to last year except Optional paper 1 and GS 3.

Writing a geographical answer for Forests Rights Act and NFSA considering the time crunch was really difficult. Felt like the map marking was easier compared to the last years paper though

last time se to tough lage mujhe

Last time kitne aaye the aapke ? Aur kaisa hua tha ?
I think last time thodi lenient checking thi paper-1 mein


i wrote very gs type answers in optionals, thus score over 220 in optionals, horrible and humiliating score.

@captainhaddock Time management was the real issue for me in the optional paper. I found almost all the 15 markers very lengthy

Except 10 markers in both paper, overall I felt tough.

At one point of time in paper 2 I was thinking why am I writing GS answers in optional. Phr jabardasti theories, models ghusaane ki kosis ki, phr is chakkar me time waste hua, aur last me to koi structuring hi nahi ho pai questions ki.
