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

Does writing each and every question in Intro-Body-Conclusion help?

Or should one compromise on writing conclusions for some questions, to attempt other questions?

Only for GS

Above Average Answer (50% marks)
Average (40%)
Below Average (30%)
Wrong interpretation of question (0)

Most of the answers generally fall in Average and Below average category. 

Above Average answer should have proper structure, precise points, relevant examples and most importantly meet the exact demand of the question. 



And what do people with humanities optional do for the same?

I mean marks awarded are definitely very elastic. For instance, people can get 210-310 in psir/sociology. A person getting more than 280 must be getting 60% marks in many questions.

Does anybody have any idea on how to rate their performance in humanities optional paper (like in GS one can take a conservative estimate)?

Koi iska bhi bata do please. I think someone with an experience of giving mains with humanities optional must have cracked how optional marking is different than GS.

Obviously nobody can tell for sure. Wait and watch is the name of the game. But if any kind of clarity can be provided, it'd be great especially for the newbies.

Scaling 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 

Let's hope so man.

I got scared by looking at the talks of heavy scaling in maths optional. One wonders ki humanities optional mein kaise aur kitni hoti hogi. 

Obviously there is no way to be sure, unlike objective optionals. Jinko past experience hai woh bhi andaza hi laga skte hain after seeing their marks.

Does anybody have any experience in marks getting deducted for writing some wrong facts in GS and optional?

For instance, if you know that in previous mains papers, you wrote 1-2 wrong facts but rest is correct, and the marks awarded in such papers were low.

Please share your findings if any.
