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

How important is it to fill pages in the paper? Is it okay if we write 1.5 pages for 10 markers and 2-2.5 for 15 marker. It was my first mains and i am not able to assess my performance. 
Also during preparation and general answer writing, how do we even tell what is an “average” answer?
it would be helpful if someone can throw light on this.

@SMR i am really confused whether my approach in the exam was right or not too. Most people suggested to focus on completing the paper . I did accordingly but in the process is feel my answers did not fill up the space given. Even in ethics case studies i wrote 1-1.5 page short of the space given. So mayb quality of answers was lacking

@SMR hahhaha i also thought the same and have done the same things. For now im just noting down what i remember i have done in each of the papers and then will analyse it when the marks are revealed. I hope i will understand something from that for prep next yr if i dont clear mains this time

Kaptaan's info :


1. Re-scaling of optionals happening for the 3rd time. Change in evaluation board hence the chaos and change in information everyday. Some optionals like Geo will be scaled tomorrow.

2. Re-scaling not good for Maths, PSIR, Medical Science and Anthro people

3. Date of results not yet confirmed.


P.S. Just posting what was posted on the TG group.



Yeh info fake hone ke hi bahot chances h kyunki itna accurate kaunhi bta payega. Par lets say yeh info sahi bhi ho toh bhi nobody needs to panic. I can understand the frustration and anxiety kyunki mera optional bhi anthro h but trying to look at the positive side:

1. Agar yeh info sach h toh iske pehle wali bhi sach hogi jisme alg alg optional ke abg marks ya scaling btaya tha. Kyunki dono news sync me h. Usme bola tha history ke avg 190 the listme joh h unke . Ab agar 190 wala candidate list me tha toh cutoff 720 ke uppar nai hoga. Toh cutoff must bhi low. 

2. Us msg ke hisaabse anthro me 260 something avg tha. Matlab checking lenient hua hoga . Toh joh baccha 240 expect krra hoga usko 260-265 aye honge pehle. Joh abhike kharab rescaling ke baad firse 240 hue honge. So nothing to lose in terms of ur expected score.

3. Abhi anthro psir walon ke agar marks kam hore h cutoff aur neeche jayega because this public is more in population as compared to history ppl

Mostly fake hi news h but brain ko kuch bhi negativ dikhe toh it will start believing it at this point of tym. Toh isliye posting this.
