@Declared_Dead  one 10 marker in gs1 , one 10 and 15 marker each in gs2, 2 ten marker and one 15 marker in gs3 and one 15 marker in optional total 85,  last time I attempted all questions each and every in all 9 papers  even language (lol) yet missed interview call by 6 marks. Despite attempting all in gs1 i got 70, 72 in gs2 and 79 in gs3.  This time I straightaway left questions i had no idea, eg. earn and learn scheme, american equality, gdp changes, led, who air lasagna and tried my best to attempt easy ones or moderate ones better. I personally feel in an exam of such large magnitude focus should more be on quality. missing few questions here and there doesnt matter.

further in 10 or 15  marker question where you had less knowledge or time to attempt them you dont actually miss 10 or 15 marks but 3or 4 marks. So we should not inflate the magnitude of loss that is accrued due to skipping the questoins. In short i dont think personally based on my experience that missing questions worth 160 marks is a big issue "Provided" other questions have a good decent quality. so dont feel guilty bro cheer up :D

 but yeah if you have missed one whole essay out of two, then its entirely different story hehe

Just attempting all does not matter. If u hv attempted almost all 10 markers in 7 minutes and 15 markers in 10 minutes with average content then only it matters.

@Declared_Dead  One guy here wrote he got interview call after leaving 155 marks. Even I have many shitty 10 marks and few 15 marks with just 1 or 1.5 pages. And, in 2 questions only intro. 


Was he from PH category?

jab koi kisi 10 marker prashna ko gyan ya samay ke abhaav hetu chhodta he to "Technically" wo 10 mark ka prashna chhodta he lekin "Actually" wo 3 ya 3.5marks ka chhodta he, utna jitna use us prashna me milta gar wo us prashna ko attempt kar pata. 

As plato says reality is shadow of ideas. estimate of loss as 10 mark is a reality which is merely a shadow of idea i.e. the true reality which is 3 or 3.5 marks. (application of philosophy to achieve some mental peace :D  )

I’m obviously not qualified to comment but these 3-4 marks add up really quickly. Over the course of just 4 papers thats around 16 marks… assuming its only 3-4 marks. Again not qualified to comment, maybe someone who has more experience can comment on if I’m right or not

 I have a doubt .. in one the question regarding urban land reclamation I gave example of JNU.... I did not mention that I belong to this place ... but I wrote jnu temp is below3-4 degree less than average Delhi temp...is it revealing my identity? Or will I be penalized?

Nhi… it’s just very pointed information. Unless you write your name somewhere it doesn’t count
