Anyone with History Optional? How was your paper? Did you find the map questions a bit difficult compared to previous years?

History questions were bit simple for both but paper 1 ka maps ne meri dulai kar di

Hi everyone,


Gave my 5th and last upsc mains on 25 th September. Was feeling relieved at the prospect of the exam getting over, but there was also a sense of sadness of not being part of this preparation cycle anymore. 


I Have been a member of forum since 2016 when i gave my first mains.. Met my wife here on forum, made great friends, the memories of forum will always be etched for the rest of my life. 


I changed my optional to anthropology for this one last attempt. Gave my all this time,but my case rests with UPSC, as always..

@mahi2501 All the best sir for your future endeavours! One good thing happened is you met your wife through this preparation. Having an understandable partner is a good thing to have imo.

Maybe I can help you with strait wala question. 

  • Define straits
  • Write few straits and their linkages with international trade :-
    Hormuz- oil
    Bab-el-mandeb - difficulty in trade due to piracy
    bosphorus, dardanalles - quote the recent weaponisation of trade in context of Russia-Ukraine conflict
    Malacca - quote Chinese Malaccan dilemma
    Davis strait
    Gibraltar strait
  • Draw the map showing these straits.

  • Define Isthumus
  • Give examples of isthumus of Panama- trade + Revenue for Panama
  • Give example of how China is trying to build a canal through isthumus of Kra (Thailand) to overcome her Malaccan dilemma.
  • Draw a map showing these isthumus. 
    (I didnt have many examples for isthumus, so drew the map little larger xD)

    So far as Troposphere is concerned, waha jo bhi pata hai troposphere ka likh diya, highlighting some keywords - jet stream, advection, normal lapse rate, cloud formation, etc. 
    Baki sect wale ques ka answer padh kar toh examiner will have a laugh :3

Hello everyone.  When is the mains 2022 result expected?

Hi people,
This was my 2nd mains (3rd attempt), I graduated in 2019 and since then I've been in this "cycle". This is the first time that I've got so much time to do anything apart from studying. Any suggestions/ experiences of how to utilize this time (till the results) productively like getting involved in content creating, checking copies etc and the procedure to do to the same.

This is such a wholesome answer. If you have written such answers for even 10/20 questions, it will be a very good score for you in GS1 yaar.

@D503 Maine toh isse Bab el Mandeb, Hormuz, Malacca + Isthmus of Panama ke alawa kuccch nahi likh paana tha.
