Hey just a question..in that governor legislative power wala ques..I wrote about the 213 and all the provision along with DC Wadhwa..the usual stuff..but since some space was there I just wrote a point about governor’s legislative power during president rule and as an administrator of a UT(on behalf of president)..how wrong I am with this point?
in 2021 i wrote my first essay on " The process of self-discovery has now been technologically outsourced." in sec A. The essay was in line with the explanations that floated in market by coaching institutes.
My second essay was about " Hand that rocks the cradle rules the world." where I wrote 10 pages in which I dedicated 1.5 page just to explain my interpretation of the essay. And I didn't even considered the dimension of "role of a mother" in my entire essay( at that time I was wondering that, its not just the role of a mother to rock the cradle, and I might look like a person who is patriarchal ....weird but such thoughts do come when essay papers have all the topics that are just way too unconventional.)
I discussed my second essay with my senior after mains. He said that if there is a quote which is said for a specific purpose and you try to drift away from it, no matter what you write and how brilliantly you try to explain your interpretation, you will be heavily penalised.
My essay score in 2021 was 58
116 in 2019, 120 in 2020
Given that , 2021 was the first time I joined a test series for essay writing, wrote more than 20 essays beforehand, worked on my content, had a group of friends to discuss and improvise my structure...in short I really work hard on my essay in 2021..but still it was 58
So all I can say is that, until and unless you are extremely lucky, and examiner is a person with an open mind, expect poor marks for an essay that's drifts apart from actual interpretation of the quote known to the examiner.
Above that, I much I know, before checking our booklets, examiners are briefed about every topic, marking scheme etc. etc...so they already have a structure in mind and evaluate our essays based on that. SOme might take the pain to understand your view point, but that's rare...so all the best.
And about every section being checked by a different examiner, I never paid attention to the last page in my previous attempt but a friend of mine said that after every question number, there is a column for marks and signature of the examiner, which proves that different examiners check our copies. Though this time I checked the same but there was no separate column for signature...but I assume it is being checked by different people.

@iceblock i wrote on the "forest" topic. Divided my essay into two interpretations- first one was about how a country is utilising and preserving forests, taking care of all the stakeholders in the forests, determine its economic excellence( 5 pages)- wrote about MFP, ecotourism, forest based industries etc, etc
next 5 pages about how economies can learn from forest ecosystems to achieve economic excellence- recycling resources, taking care of every stakeholder..something on that line..a sort of comparison between forest and economy

@Kenshein in 2019 I just read spectrum for modern history(was just out from the college and had no time for other books)
my score was 118. Then I thought that next time with touch of historiography and bit of answer writing I might score well. Above that in 2020 questions from modern were straight forward..but final score was 82.

In 2020, inspired from few topper copies, I used some(or maybe more than that) "technical jargon" in my ethics paper, my score was 77
So I was discussing with a senior ki bhaiya ye to fail ho gaya technique...so he said that, jargon stuff suits for those who have great command over language and proficient writing skills, for people like us, thoda man ki bat with examples works best..took tips from him and practised on similar lines...we both scored 105. He cleared the exam and I couldn't get an interview call because of my essay score(80 tak aa jate to call bhi aa jata)
