@MC Cullum bhai structuring and practice do make difference. I have personally felt that especially in optional. Score in one of the papers went from 104 to 140 just by answer writing. There is no alternative but to sit on the table and start writing. For prelims things are far more objective....conceptual clarity and lot of question practice all one needs.
Not very sure but have seen people whose score went from 149 toh 110 in PSIR last time. Dont want to take his name but he was quite popular one. Got rank that year as well. So there is some randomness as well. In mains test series marks reflect only for very few.
But with respect to Pre on other hand i found more objectivity. People clearing IFOS usually scores around 120+ in almost all there mocks. Never seen some one scoring 70 in Vision test and clearing forest. but have seen some with 80 marks at coaching test but getting 140+ in PSIR.
But conceptual clarity and content is supreme. Structuring and Presentation helps in serving but not in taste.
@brownianMotion is ma'am videos something different from model answer content and pdf she uploads ? Never found time to watch her videos in any of my attempts. Not very sure how people manage to find time to watch her videos.
Does it help wrt paper 2 ? Paper 2 is my concern as it is more random. In paper 1 people score good despite crash course or no crash course.
You practiced psir from ma'am test series only or done anything along with it like pyq or topper copies ?
I found only very few qn from ma'am test series this time ! Which one are you talking about ?
Hi, This is my personal opinion. I have never got good marks in PSIR (105~110 in mocks, 240 in Mains). So, my opinion might be misleading too.@brownianMotion is ma'am videos something different from model answer content and pdf she uploads ? Never found time to watch her videos in any of my attempts.

1. Videos content are very much different from model answers. In discussions, she talks about structuring and line of thinking. This might help in augmenting subject knowledge with questions. I have faced issues in writing answer in language of the subject. One or two keywords here and there in discussion gets recalled in exam.You can watch the videos at 2x at home or increase to more speed from 'inspect element' in browser2. Last crash course, she started with paper 2. It was more comprehensive coverage. It helped me to some extent as I had very less content in paper 2. Infact marks in paper 2 >paper 1 for me as paper 1 was disaster :p3. I watched lectures and attempted sectional test of each part this time. Many PYQs were covered in class by mam. Considering, my historical low marks - something more needs to be done from my side !! :)4. I did not cross check. It just felt lot of questions were from test series or some discussion from mamHere they provide the source of question from test series.Baaki questions ache the iss baar I felt. Rest UPSC will tell. Whether history of low marks repeats or ....
Why they remove the videos after crash course completion i wanted to watch for paper 2 as well but could not. :(
Did you cover pyq separately else from videos ?
So SR content of CC and normal classes and sectional test is what you did this time ? Attempted FLT as well ?
Any tips for paper 2 and if you could share your copies it would be great :) Paper 2 is something I am very confident about but my performances missing the trick and not able to score. :(
@GaneshGaitonde so this is my first mains attempt. I had followed Nikhil sirs TS at insights (pretty helpful since I'm from Engg background, and had studied PSIR on my own), I had also started off with SR, and then understood that isse kaam nahin chalega, and then painstakingly using her notes as a guidance, made my own notes and revised etc etc etc.But the last week, I just had so much anxiety, that everyone else has had looked at Ma'am notes and attended her classes and would be pretty much thorough with everything. Nikhil sir was quite a help, but even then, I was feeling ki whether I made a mistake of not enrolling for a second test series etc etc etc.Ma'am notes seriously seem inadequate, but there is this TINA factor wrt PSIR optional...
Do share your experience once the marks are released. I personally believe you'll have fresh content to offer due to the Test series.
Even Rank 5 Utkarsh (300 plus in PSIR last year) had joined Vision Test series & claimed it to be a major factor in enriching his content.
But the TINA factor is real with respect to PSIR😅
Not very sure what extra content enrichment all other content has. except for random scholars which appear out of nowhere in their answer I could not find any thing which upgrades content made from SR CC or test series and her classroom.
There is a clear difference in the way student approach answers. I can quote a small example. Yesterday I was checking answers on Fascism
All students somehow mentioned it as Hodge podge of ideologies & Same Mussolini quote of nothing above beyond... state (Mam's Notes)
However, one of students instead talked of Mussolini saying - "Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state's". Further he went on to say that fascism tries to replace materialism by a mystical idealism etc
This at least to me was fresh & forced me to award greater marks
That is something already Hannah said.. ending the conviction to think and in my notes as well which are from Maam's material only. Not sure what is unique here.

Where are you evaluating copies btw ? Any openings there ?
@Truthseeker9 my experience with Insights Nikhil gowda sir has been the following: Sir doesn't outright give a model answer or anything. He adds on to what I've already written. And, sir gives relevant CA articles in his telegram group. He also discusses with us in a way, and somehow I used to understand how to interlink stuff. I have tried in this mains.They also release a monthly magazine from relevant articles, but I have not really religiously looked at it. I prefer newspapers and my own notes. However I did show Nikhil sir a couple of my notes, just to get it checked, if I'm moving in the right direction.
Seems very much a paid comment. Nobody asked for your experience :). Nobody asked if Sir has any tg group or not. Nobody asked for Monthly magazine.
Anyway good for you if SIR things work for you. Good luck.

Bhai, kaha sabne same hi hai almost. It's all about expression. That's the central idea of differentiating.
I am not trying to convince you. Just stating my opinion and my perspective of freshness in answers.
Yeah cool. Some people are bliss no doubt about the expression thing. And some despite good content struggle. That is why there are people like me who fails in their 4th 5th and this last time may be may be not. Khair anyway lets see how thing rolls when winter arrives.
@Truthseeker9 bhai centre kaha tha ?
Delhi
History , geography, pub ad and sociology have become veterans of UPSC.
Jamana abhi Anthro and PSIR ka hai...
Veteran subjects have carefully butchered by UPSC in past.
Aisa lagta hai..upsc scaling me gadbad karta hai..modiji ka sajish hai isme 😁
"pub ad khatre me hai"
Sociology toh abhi bhi jyada hai anthro se.
@Truthseeker evergreen subject hai...isme kam marks aate hai toh aspirants ko lagta hai ki writing skill better kar lega toh achhe marks aa sakte hai...toh usi trap me ye optional wale bahut kam hi log change kar paate hai....iss optional se GS aur essay me bhi help mil jaata hai....lekin optional hi utna achha score nhi aa paata...
My story with PSIR
@Truthseeker9 mere center pe 10/240 the pubad ke ... Raipur center
hmm wahi ratio hai .. mera center delhi me around 600-700 log the
@Truthseeker9 just read an article suggesting it. It is not considered by government yet. But looks possible looking at intent of government to reform.
Either way civil servants are glorified clerks under political executive better if they are skill and experienced ones rather flamboyant Instagram generation of ias we are looking at.

Instagram really hurt you. Otherwise where does instagram enter between specialist generalist debate ?
Instagram generation does not means only Instagram and as I said skilled and experienced one.
Btw agnipath is not about specialist. That is lateral entry thing. Looks like you have half baked knowledge. :)
Time to repair when shining
I interpreted it as mending things when situation is good. To avoid disaster one must take resilience building steps when times are good
Boosting is security at airports after 9/11 so as to avoid any similar situation

How many of you believe in the argument that UPSC deliberately keeps the exams lengthy to ensure that candidates are forced to write from their subconscious and what they have internalised. Or is it one of the narratives peddled by UPSC apologists to justify anything and everything that the holy cow does.
100% true ie why mostly civil servants get selected. Bachpan se grooming iss tarah hoti at subconscious level.
@Kenshein TrueI was searching for ways to evaluate my performance in Mains22, realised it's pointless exercise and best is to watch discussion videos and note if any important points missed
You will be judged relatively with other 399 candidate's surrounding your roll no. The best one can do is cover all points of question holistically and leave rest to upsc as we have no control over scaling.
why 399 ?
@Truthseeker9 kahan we suna ye ?paper 1 was tougher than last couple of years.. yes paper 2 was relatively easy
Pta nhi bhai
know 4 maths optional in library sabke 400+ ban rhe hai correct attempt. Kaafi khush hai woh.
@kamalteja my absolute correct attempt in paper 1 is 210, paper 2 I couldn’t write to my satisfaction, even though the paper was simple.. made a mistake in question selection..which 15 marker did y leave in paper 1 and in which 15 marker did u commit a mistake.. I see u didn’t mention any 10 marker in paper 1, did u solve the projectile question and the linear ODE proof in 5 a
400 paar apke bhi maths me ?
Lagta hai iss baar top 50 me bhar jaega maths
Maths ka most conservative estimate mereko ~263 ke score pe laake rakh raha hai ( @HouseTargaryen ka formula apply karke).
Let's see final result ke baad hi pata chalega .. kitna scaling hua..
Correct attempt kitna aapka ?
Top 5 mein 2 the PSIR k iss baarScaling PSIR jaise optionals mein kitni hoti hai btw?Marks bhadane chahiye usme toh 5 saal se butchering ho rhi psir ki .. sabse jyada crowd hai isilye list me naam dikhte otherwise percentage me kaafi Kam hai appeared to success me
success ratio dekho bhai
jab 10000 me se 2500 ka PSIR hai toh rahega yehi ratio final me
han wo slaughter campaign toh chalta hi h. that is there
Lekin iss bar kis ki Bari hein ? Har Saal kisi optional ki slaughtering hoti hai. History ki 2020 zabardast hui thei. To shyaad humara number nahi ayega.
Ye upsc hi batayega
ho sakta h kisika na ✂️
Bhai mein suna hein ki during 2008-10 labsana complained about candidates quality not upto mark. It was found history and Pub Ad wale candidates pudhu hote hai and that's why they started slaughtering us.
In 2015 medicine had hit rate of 20% i think. Might be prefering doctors. Which Was quite weird.
Don't know veracity of this fact.Shayad anthro wale bahut smart hote hein.
✂ to Tai hai.
Neither have Pub. Ad.nor History & nothing personal or against anyone but someone I know closely in the service (in service since 2008) is really pissed with B.tech guys! Said that technical subject people neither understand the rationale nor the principles & never apply brain where logical discretion for principled decisions is required. This was mostly in context with Ministerial & Court work! He pointed out some silliest things which were there in policies but sab nhi bata sakta idhar!
Kisi ko nhi pata yh desh chal kaise rha h😅
The kind of hate B.tech guys get from other backgorund people is perplexing for me.
I have seen stupid people from every background but b.tech ho toh ye point jarur karte h sb😂
I absolutely agree on this! After this CSAT qualification requirement commission has opened one more window for hatred towards B.tech people. It becomes even sadder when I see many engineers failing CSAT.
Engineer failing CSAT ? Bhai aptitude ki kami dikhata hai CSAT na ki kisi ki degree
Never found any CSAT question in any of the engineering books of any branch. Why so much fuss ?
Better to accept lack of aptitude than a degree
is psir most crowded ?? kya psir ki butchering hogi ??@Neyawn i have one banking aspirant friend.she has cleared banking exams.She can teach me maths via call or video call ... substitute hojayega na wo class ka?
Video dekh lo youtube pe .. duniya bhar ke maths ka gyaan hai
uske baad bhi aapko friend ki zarurat hai jo bank clear krri toh kuchh aur baatein karna usse :P
Bhai, group ka Telegram link do. Please.

Anyone with Anthro
Is anthro really short ? like how much is syllabus in comparison of PSIR ?
PSIR is one of the lengthiest imho if not the lengthiest among all.
kyu bhai Maths and engineering optionals nhi hote kya UPSC me....
leaving them i was talking about humanities and tbh they need practice more (that is why lengthy) and engineering ones esp are not that long against the established myth.
In PSIR over my attempts i found so much to read b/w pre and mains
@tmblnd1325194 Environment wala perspective I think pehle bhi pucha gaya tha though in some other form. Maine issi liye ussi ke liye 4 cases mention kar diye thhe pehle se hi - MC Mehta, Lafarge Mining etc. Vohi likh kar aa gaya.Thoda flowchart wagera bana diya and tried to link it with the constitutional angle asked i.e., how SC took up various cases and how 'right to healthy environment' became a constitutional right.
I wrote how constitutionalisation is significant achievement in modern times rather showing evolution ..
@Truthseeker9 Yes, that's what we had to do. I didn't dedicate the whole answer to 'evolution'. I drew a flowchart for the purpose of representation.

@Capedcrusader1 I don't think so the optional guys had much advantage. The keywords in the questions were quite general which just needed 'better' analysis.
- Socio questions were doable if you have read Indian Society NCERT, did PYQs and followed current affairs 'broadly'.
- The main problem with Geo questions was that they were quite unexpected (easy questions like primary rock (types and characteristics) made me go blank but however time management helped me attempt that question) plus when I read some Geo questions in the first iteration, my mind went like- "What to write now?" (But again, I had not prepared for Geography that well so that feeling won't be the same for everyone. I had completely relied on revising diagrams and maps during prep. So in the end, I broadly addressed the keywords and drew a labelled map in those rubber plantation and wind energy questions (covered 1-1.5 page). For other questions like ocean currents and straits, I drew 2-3 maps and wrote about keywords with some examples).
- For the colour-coded IMD question, if you have seen maps in Disaster Manageme nt - the common colours are red, orange, yellow and green- whose meaning doesn't change much. You can just "broadly" write on that with a map showing cyclone prone areas (I made an educated guess here which turned out to be right, I was analysing PYQs (NDMA Reports were asked) so I thought of going one step ahead and ended up skimming through various maps in NDMA reports. I thought that different govt agencies won't colour code maps differently so I ended up mentioning these 4 colours).
- Deccan traps question is again from understanding of map of India. I was just reading about formation of Gondwana Coal, black soil etc from Wikipedia when I happened to come across this term (it appeared quite frequently). Plus the question was about resource "potential" so there was scope to write stuff.
- Troposphere question - I just loaded the whole answers with diagrams and addressed the keywords in few points.
Therefore, I think the paper would have created a huge advantage for the Geo/socio optional people if some "specific keywords" would have been there which are not known by a normal non-Geo/socio optional person. In this paper, I believe everyone has atleast read enough things to address them with relevant "examples" and "keywords".Note: I am not saying the paper was easy but I think the paper was more about common sense. Even if the socio/Geo optional people had an advantage, it wouldn't more than few marks.
going ahead 1 step NDMA and looking at map how did you decipher that ? Seems like you are topper in making with such foresightedness.

I started answer writing (from Insights) and analysing UPSC questions way back in 2017 when I was in my 2nd year of UG. When you read and write things n number of times, you develop a small intuition about various things. So I had a small intuition that the colour-coded maps used in these NDMA Reports "may have been" similar to those of IMD. I ended up "deciphering" the meaning similar to what I had read in the report (I had read 5-6 lines out of curiosity). It would have gone either way and "fortunately enough" it went right.
Also, about the "foresightedness" thing. Seriously, analyse PYQs of GS 1 & 3. I was preparing content for Disaster Management keeping PYQs in mind when I "thought" of skimming through these reports.
Okay bhai
Aap toh topper ho hi fir. Color coded map bhi yaad hai that too of cyclone so isse jyada toh kisi topper ko kya hi pta hoga. 2017 se answer writing kar hi rhe ho aap aur content bhi excellent hai aur aapne guess work bhi on point jaa rha that too in mains.
PYQ for mains dont hold much significance . Syllabus is more relevant imo. Pyq are from syllabus only. :) If you have themes covered from ncert and books etc it is sufficient. Color coding ncert me hi hai . 2017 se intutuon ki itno zarurat nhi
@tmblnd1325194 R.K Rajput book is there in Q and A form. But it can be useful only one knows basic.
We can only do the basics of core subject, and not devlve deep into topics. For starter we can divide mechanical engineering into 4parts ( for sake of interview preparation and importance.):1) design( basics: factor of safety, centre of gravity, centroid(no body is going to ask the formulae but the significance)2)thermal ( 3 laws, entropy, AC working( most important question as interview would be conducted in ac hall), chimney working ( related to pollution)3) fluid mechanics( bernouillis and pascal, pumps functioning types)3)production.( personally not good at it- iron diagram)4) automobile and ic engines , ignition system ( basics- Otto, diesel cycles,)-bs4 and bs6 changes, Volkswagen controversy.( current affairs related to mechanical engg). ( interviewer owning a car)In end we can shortlist few probable and important topics from the course and prepare it. No need for doing the whole course.Your domain of your project in undergraduate can be probable question ( usually in any private service interview, they start conversation with your project and then expand it to other domains- this might be done).Do you have any paper technical published? ( this might be area of interest for examiner and you can direct the interviewer in specific area in which you are prepared.)The engineering question would be hardly 0 - 25% of interview time ( 30 minutes). But I think it would be scariest part of interview.Transcript of mechanical engineers from previous year can also aid. I have noticed that mechanical engg were asked about FAME SCHEME.All the best.
How much syllabus is overlapped to agriculture engineering syllabus ?
Dont compare math with history. If a candidate has done really well in math, she / he will get very good marks irrespective of scalling uncertainties.
My friend -an IIT passout -devoted two years to having command of math. He got 300 + in three consecutive years. Meanwhile he learnt the art of backchodi in GS and essay. Last year he got IAS in EWS quota. He came to exam centre in 30 lakh sedan.
