Hey guys, I'm late to the discussion party but felt like giving an update :p 

Had really good hopes with GS (except ethics section A :p) and essay went fine too. But optional went equally down the hill to not even secure interview call. I've a science optional, knew how to derive and solve whatever asked in the paper. Couldn't attempt due to lack of practice to actually do it in exam. 

To the next time now! :) 

Arrey I’m sure you’re just being harsh on yourself. You might have done better than what you though

@chandlerbing last attempt..

Getting age barred...

If God permits, demand for extra attempt may help.. but I think upsc won't give extra attempt.. so focussing on state psc

My optional paper 1 was like ....... Below expectations...

Paper 2 went well though...


GS left several questions...


Essay.. have written but no idea whether the evaluator will like it or not..


I think my upsc journey ends with this mains.. was third mains..

In 2020 scored 733.. missed interview call by 3 marks....

        For Sociology: I felt that though the themes largely were predictable the specific demands made it a bit more complicated. Like critically analyse the MoP of Marx (description is easy, criticism with thinkers difficult for me), NEP but focus on vocationalisation, informalisation of work but in WFH mode. So the same old material may not be applicable. Let us see what March has in store. Thanks to all the members of this thread for keeping the josh high always.

Which topper's answer keys for GS and essays do you guys refer to? What are the criteria? Also can someone share any topper's talk which you found useful for mains strategy and answer writing.

Which monthly magazine do you guys refer to?
I used to refer to vision but it is getting too overwhelming these days. Even the mains 365 was not of much significance. Any recommendation for crisp and fluff-free magazine out there?

Maths optional guys, how it went? 

Somewhere between averagish and horrible. Not expecting much.

My Essay was on the better side although in the second essay I felt like maybe the flow was not that smooth. 
GS 1,2,3 went largely okay…gs3 had many yorkers in 10 markers but that’s the case for everyone so yeah…GS4 was decent too. 
Optional went actually better than my expectations but I’m not sure if it was good enough for healthy score of around 300 so let’s see what happens. I’ve tend to have an optimistic bias about my performance so I’m kind of skeptical too. I guess next few weeks will be like that only.
