Mains 2022 - All Papers PDF + R**** Rona + Paper Discussion

Left one case study in ETHICS paper and a Sub part in another case study

Left one 10 Marker in Geography Optional Paper 1. 

Rest Attempted all. 

But guys i have one big query : As Time passes by, i get points in my mind and then thinking like i should have done that and this and this keep running in my mind. Do everyone get like these?? Coz as i get more points now, feeling like i wrote poorer quality answers than i should have given

Got 251 in previous attempt bhai ji.. this time was able to cover more sociological dimensions.. didn't knew one question at all in paper 2(10 mark) have written 2 pages only in one 20 marker questions..but overall quality was good and was able to complete paper . Used many sociological thinker and perspectives. Fingers crossed 

yes cut off will be definitely low..

What about you?

In my previous attempt (2021)

1) Just after Mains got over: I felt I did very well

2) After one month: I felt I have done enough to at least clear the Mains cut-off. With each passing day, I had the same experience you are having now.

3) Just before the result: I felt I had 50-50 chances.

Final result: Couldn't clear by a small margin but it was mainly due to optional where preparation was weak. In GS, scores were above average despite missing out on so many important points as it is all relative

Everyone goes through it. After 2 months you won't even remember what you have written on those sheets. 

Kitna hi kam ho jayega? I don't think it will go below 730 in any case as people who appeared for Mains also increased this time. 

To all the  Civil engineering optional students, Question 5A in paper 1 is wrong. Repres.pdf

Please file representation 

your source is likely jagranjosh which gave expected mains cutoff 720 of 2021, so that source cannot be trusted and you cannot be taken seriously on this. Cutoff will likely decline with respect to previous year because increment of 299 seats is huge given the low base number of seats on which it adds up. but eventually everything will depend on how strictly or leniently marks are given in general.

i believe i fall i the later category. paper finish karne ka alag satisfaction hota h

I personally feel, jaldi likho ya late likho... Quality similar hi rahoga...

2 words per min kam likhne se , 180*2= 360 words , roughly 25 marks ka kam likhne se , jada nukasan hai compared to writing at normal speed to compete paper.. 

Ghatiya likho to 6/25 , aa hi jayega... Compared to  12 or 16 seconds per question jada dena ...

Galib mann bahlane khayal accha hai... Quality matters 

Debate of quality vs quantity in mains is similar to debate of attempting right vs attempting max questions in prelims, later having more advantage.

i only know (from my mocks analysis that), filling pages is not necessary but writing IBC format and finishing paper is to be strived for. i agree with you completely here. lets say in a paper i know 18 answers nicely, i can afford to even leave 2 questions. provided thats the situation. possibly you were in that situation.
