How was your paper? How did you approach the paper?
Does anyone has Civil engineering as Optional?How was your paper this year?
I felt p2 was tougher but then I hadn’t prepared the kind of questions from railways and surveying asked in Q1. P1 was little lengthy and I made a few mistakes in p1. How was yours…how do you compare it with the previous years papers….this years other optionals seems to be easier…
@King_of_the_dead I didn't find civil paper easy.May be arts optionals got comparatively easier paper but I found it tougher than other years .Paper 1 was easy but very lengthy.Moreover,as we attempt more, accuracy falls.I too made silly mistakes in paper 1.Its common.However, most surprising was paper 2.Part 1 was very tough.I can clearly say that this part 1 was toughest I have ever seen.Part 2 was as usual.So overall paper 2 was tougher than other years.Paper 1 as usual was very lengthy
Yes, part 1 of p2 was were tough. The paper was designed to test the carpentry skills as well…who reads the labelling of roofs or doors…
P1 was lengthy and it involved many tedious calculations for many of the questions. Only if there is some lenient marking and scaling we can hope of getting a decent marks. Hopefully it will be so. But the other subjects optionals were easier esp. PSIR, Anthro and socio. I don’t know how they will strike a balance amongst these optionals….

Is this one center? Any idea if they kept the same mains center last year too?
Yep it’s one, pretty sure the only one here this time around
And no, no clues about last year. Maybe @SergioRamos would know.
I was kinda hoping for UPPCS Bhavan, don’t know why they went with this - this one was bad.
Last year it was UPPCS Bhavan. And this year, it was torture.
Btw@wellofsnakes , we mortals cannot grasp the ideas in the heads of UPSC Gods. :P
