when can a person expect interview call?

if across 4 gs papers marks are average and no question left. and essay is above average and 1 optional paper has become an issue due to time shortage. is there anyone who could get interview call when they least expected them to. what are the parameters to judge oneself regarding interview call.

@Declared_Dead i have given forumias mocks.
in the papers from gs 1 to 3, score was 85-88 with i think leaving1 q 10 or 15 marker. gs 4 i was in top 20. marks were 98. so i have kept that as my base. i have given only 4 papers. rest i have given elsewhere. in final exam, no q was left. and i dont think ive particularly messed up ( i havent seen any solutions videos etc).by messed up i mean, demand fulfilled in all qs to best possible extent,vague questions also answered but not accurately, all questions in IBC format
3.8k views
@Declared_Dead GS 2 and GS 3 had some questions of the variety of straightforward and vague. if you look at the paper you will realise this. and secondly across the papers, they have done things to lower marks like one, asking exact things like OSOWOG signing year, volcanoes of 2021 etc and two, asking examples and illustrations like DRSC illustrations and wetland examples and SHG examples. such sprinkling of straightforward questions gives no scope to increase marks thereby decreasing subjectivity. and thirdly, and this is personal opinion, GS 2 questions and some GS 3 were not asking 2 subparts and it had become diffcult to even decode the exact  demand of questions. fourthly, again personal opinion and some others felt this too, some questions simply had not enough content to be answered. you can revisit papers and these things will be agreed to be you. hence cutoff will fall.

@masteroptimist no problem. can u or anyone render you thoughts on doubt? firstly how many days do we have between this year prelim and mains i.e 2022 cycle and two, is it wise to join mains test series at this moment itself vs going for value addition in optional, making GS mains notes ( ihave almost none, rely on 365etc) and stasrting prelim prep as well because prelim is a weak point for me and taking the mains mocks scene to post prelims stage.

@Declared_Dead thanks a lot.. i will try to incorporate editorial in my schedule

IN the GS 2 and GS 3papers, there are questions which have gone back to 5-6 years. now these questions are either conceptual or simply current affairs. My doubt is how do i go about changing studies and be able to handle these questions should a situation like this arise again. These were the questions that im talking about and they have a reasonable share of marks (if someone aims to do all 20 questions):

- GS3: GDP series , S400 , blue LED, Global AQGs

-GS2: 14th FC 

now though i had fair knowledge of GDP series, i could not attempt it as well as i had expected for a simple reason, im aligned with magazines of past year only. same for s 400, i dont know why s400 suddenly became important. likewise for 14FC too.

@masteroptimist i feel that in 3hours, there is no time to think. pick up pen and start writing. now if i know a question well, the relevant points usually start blinking in my mind which are incorporated in answer. In other questions, im hard wired to write intro body conclusion. By the time intro is done, some points usually enter my point. That will make answer average (i think). But in any case, all questions are to be answered.

@masteroptimist also, if you dont attempt like 2 questions completely, you basically left arounf 4x2 =8 marks per paper if you left 10 marker and likewise for 15 marker. Now, while writing an average answer is not a herculean task in itself, completing all 20 questions is a huge difficulty. Unless you answered those 18 questions to the best possible way there is (by taking more time ofcourse), leaving questions is nothing less than suicidal. and exceptions are not rule.

@Vishnugupta its not a sin. but if i ask someone that. given more time, would he have gone for those absolutely unknown questions, the answer would most probably be yes. people clearly had no idea of blue LED and most probably 14 FC, but would they leave it just on an ethical ground that "Oh, i dont want to be seen like im trying to fool the commission, or ill lose marks", well then ground itself is shaky. What if commision itself wants to  check whether you can answer an unknown question with basic knowledge or not. these are all my views.you may differ but amongst the top most principles that i came across in mains was., "come what may, you do not leave any question".

is there any way to have a battery of diagrams and flowcharts ready for GS papers. i have seen them and used them in mocks but none were made in final papers. but its probably needed to give a good feeling to examiner. Ex: in infra questions of GS3, was there a possibility to incorporate this? 

how to collect them beforehand

@LionKing2021 what is the deal with insiders? I mean why do people need to even know insider info?

@AzadHindFauz ill tell you what it exactly does in point format of upsc as youve done:
-it wastes time.
-it doesnt tone down anxiety. you double the anxiety. when you know a result will arrive 1day from now. 0.5days from now, 12hours from now, within 1 hour, in few minutes, you definetly are not at peace compared to when you simply didnt know when it would be out and just knew that it would be in say mid march
-breathig space can be utilised in much better things. what good has speculation done.
-last time i checked after a not so favourable result,people complain of having wasted time after the exam in this
-b*kchdi is understandable. one is tired and wants to let go for sometime. but you dont meet real people in real world. so in effect your other aspects of life also stay stagnant. virtual world is basically a total destruction for oneself. i can be a good friend and suddenly vanish or become anonymous.

some more points from my end:
-manya times insider info is not 100% ACCURATE. once they say something and result is delayed, they face flak. all are at loss
-people end up fighting with each other on trivial issues
-idle mind is devils workshop
traditions can change too. people have to take steps

@Philip_Marlowe well this situation has infact arisen once. they were taken to task by the commission itself because someone from the student community acted cool and did something unethical (basically a prick). the insiders were in a situation. (not sure of the details)
i wouldnt go to the extent of saying that they are in it for money etc. no personal attacks as they are actually good people and have created a community which discusses about studies too.

@LionKing2021 bhai apka pehle part me "technologically" outsource nai aa rha h.  i wrote some examples in part 1. like recently a tribal couple performed a dance and it became a rage on social media. this is self discovery of talent via technology. basically exploring more dimensions ad linking it to technology. we have to tell how technology has empowered people, economy, international relations . right now i cant exactly remember what i wrote. in the second part before way forward and conclusion i wrote how technlogy outsource is a cause of concern like brain drain, and that its not necessary that technology will lead to self discovery for good (blue whale game). baki wahi sab . new It rules doing away with E2E is good step, follow BBC media code ethics, Fb 10 commandments.
conclusion cant remember.

next was history farce
intro: we had WW2, it was a tragedy. exaplained tragedy like need to colonize, racial supermacy, etc. now in the name of a world order or peace, UDHR, UN and other institutions, war crimes , human right vilations, refugee crisis and SIDS/LDCs are subject to climate events, history is repeated again but this time in the veil of a peaceful world order which is a farce obviously

dimensions opened: women 73rd ca is a farce pati pradhan. tribal Fra is a farce, eviction happening, kept exploting tragedy part too. cant remember other points

@Declared_Dead my phone has fortunately died due to battery failure. its in a situation where i charge it for a whole day and it loses charge in like 2 minutes or so. i am actually enjoying the turmoil going on inside me right now. not going to have it sorted now.
I'd suggest you to give your phone to parents and ask them to enforce your accountability or just turn it off and keep it away. you will see the difference. you will have no choice but to sit back down and study, with or without focus, you will eventually study. 
motivation will thus follow from being practical
ofcourse all this is wrt distraction from phone. something i wasted time on for way beyond the limits in this prep.
And, dont rely on motivation. friendly advice.

can anyone help me with choosing one of these to kickstart pre prep:

- starting with core books (4 in number) ->efficiency will reduce but satisfaction will be high. experience tells me that revising without practising is time wasted more or less.

-doing previous year mocks (sectional)->i have not yet bought this year mocks. sectionals hardly make any difference

-revising ncerts ->i dont underestimate them. so revising is important for me. especially for geo and economy.

-clearing my current affair backlogs (quiz + monthly) and ES/ISFR

another related doubt:

is it wise to devote full time/day to prelim prep now. I am not someone who is particularly confident of prelims. dont think anyone is but will speak for myself.

in that scenario is it wise to add value for mains (i have no formal notes for mains but faced no particular issue in that area as far as writing mains was concerned).

am i dangerously missing out on something here? (mains notes)

since past months, i was focussing on optional topper notes value additions.

@vish_rat2116865 youve written good if youve written in a way that core demand of quote is satisfied by you. nowhere is it written that motherhood has to be focussed on. when i saw this quote first i interepreted it likw this:
-hand = developed countries
-cradle= everything needed tfor sruvival like climate, humanity etc
so the hand is rocking the cradle and ruling the world. 
ofcourse motherhood is one aspect. Its because of MKG's mother that he became what he became and now india is poised to rule the world. SHG etc. but you cant be just focussed on women issues alone. various interpretations of hand and cradle and therby hand ruling the world could be seen. 


2.9k views
@Sahilkumar first of all you didnt write rubbish. two, you are getting above average in this essay for exploring more points (dimensions) and thinking out of the box. 
i just in hope that while explaining taliban, you stuck to the demand by explaining who is the hand who is the cradle.
US invaded, cradle is central asia. rocks is destablising the region. If you are writing in a way that demand is justified, no issue. 
likewise while explaining on vulnerable sections, hope you actualy wrote in a way that hand, cradle , rock and rules the world is justified. Hope you didnt leave it open ended.

3.9k views
@Declared_Dead I agree with you. But ill choose to be optimistic here. Reason being its not board exam where you write whats in ncert. your own test of understanding is all tested. 
But then again, if the quote was indeed on motherhood and needed an essay to revolve around motherhood, then definetly those who went in a roundabout manner are in trouble.
But muje lagta nai h ki UPSC marks kaatne ke lie baithi h. 
maine toh history repeats itself me bhot kam actual events ke bare me bataya h. but 2page intro jisme event tha aur ab fir wahi ho rha h, isme samajh aata h ki demand samajh aa gayi hai. baki toh dimensions explore karna hoga. nahi toh fir hame har historical event (jo actually hue the) unko pehle tragedy batake farce ke taraf le jana hoga. fir toh band baj jayegi kyunki ye toj 1200 marks ke gs ka answer ho jayega.
in the same way motherhood wala bhi. likewise is logic se main sare essays me ye keh sakta hu. 
thats why im optimistic and saying that demand sirf ek ho nai sakti. demand quote ke anusaar hona chayiye and justified bas.

@zombieland i think your analysis of essay writing is valid. if one is weak in essay writing, they can use subheading. other than that, forcibly using subheadings without any proper content within each of them or aimply being unable to give a proper subheading in the essay will not look good at all.
and this im saying based on essays i have been reading of people. 
other than that, i dont dont know how upsc awards marks in essay.
But my personal opinion is that, if upsc has asked to maintain coherence, then why are they awarding marks to inventors in the game. because its obvious that subheadings do break flow.

-those who wrote mains previously too, how close were their final marks to the mock score. this q is based on the assumption that the performace of mocks would more or less be replicated in final exams.on certainly improvises in between mocks and between mocks and final exams.

so was there any huge shocking difference in the final marks?  kindly give example also

easy in the sense that 

- one could write a structured answer

-understanding demand of questions wasnt tough

-society questions have no data , commitee etc. so its generally easy to write some points provided you had time


for all i know, GS2 was toughest, GS3 also tough. Gs4 one cant guage essay tough

3.6k views
@zombieland GS 4 was indeed lengthy. there were subsections in case studies. i took more than usual time in them. my way of answering is also different.
GS 3 is toughest because of surprisingly high number of unknown questions
GS2 i found tough, but not as tough as gs 3
i rate gs 1 below gs 2 because i could answer those questions of world geo by fulfilling demand, then again ill have to see the paper. but the shock value was very high in gs 1. questions of history seemed simple to me

rest anthro: my practise was less. only 4 mocks. im not a big fan of beautifying answers and fooling the examiner when i dont know the exact answer.
this has reflected in all papers of mine wherein i dont feel like writing 10-15 points in 15 marker and 7-8 points in 10 marker thus irritating the examiner. this however i did do in mocks where questions asked actually lead you to answer that. not saying that is bad but upsc isnt demanding that. 
same for anthro. no need for structuring apart from IBC. the relevant points will be awarded. 


3.5k views
@zombieland yup that can be done. in my case one 10 marker is left completely. in one 10 marker of subsistence economy, i could write only names of economc systems. basically time felt short.

anthro paper can be called tougher than last year for following reasons, and this is solely my analysis:

- after seeing natufian culture, jane goodall, ks singh, vn misra. now these questions, if one doesnt know which would be the case in atleast half of them, a person would most likely leave them. he would thus save 20 mins of time. 20mins of time is no joke if other answers are to reach a stage of perfection.

- for 2021 paper, this situation i.e shock value was less. but here is the deal, neither would you leave them nor would you write them. so you basically average out in the whole paper.

- another thing to notice is: paper 2 2020 has following 10 markers: rb foote, aryan invasion,ks singh,dravidian lang, khap,ssanskitisation, narmada man,linguistic minorites in india,concept of ethnicity.

now compare these 10 questions to2021 paper 2 10 questions. purushartha and living,tc relevance,harappan seals, caste and social capital, factionalism and politics,urbanisn and tribal insttns, concept of tribe and census, politics of recognition and deprovation


koi baccha bhi bata dega ki : paper 2 2021 ka sirf is baat se hi 2020 se zaada tough ho gaya kyuki

- 10 marker ne toh band bajadi

-10 marker ne ek aur kaam kia: it took time to understand them and demand is also blurry. ex: caste and social capital ko maine galat interpret kia ya nai , ye toh koi ciaching wale nai bata pa rahe. factionalism, deprivation ke toh kya hi kehne


toh ye paper 2  toh tough(er) hi tha

@sjerngal yes very weird
now in aukus question, just look at how its framed, ad i can guarantee (well not guarantee ), people would have faced extensive issues in decoding questions like AUKUS.
firstly it says its a counter to china. theek.
then it says will it supercede existing parterships. theek h this is also different 
fir inka pet nai bhara. discuss the strength and impact of aukus in present scenario. 

so this is like 5 questions in this.

and you most probably will know 5-6 valid points. but you have to give subheadings which is must and you have to mention points in those.

aise hi maine kai questions me dekha h.

its like intentional misleading of sorts to waste your time and feel inadequate

@Lbshallofresidence need for writing points (even remotely relevant) to the asked questions:
- questions themselves are not straight and to the point
-they are analytical and requires analysis. analysis of 2 persons cant be same let alone all those giving mains.
-the words discuss and elucidate may have multiple interpretations.
-the examiner unless he has the solutions engrained in his mind , which i dont think is the case, will look at all answers on their own merits.
last but not the least: if you write only (exactly relevant points) for questions, you will waste time on questions because in 7 mins and 11 mins , you cant write (exactly relevant). thus miss many questions in toto.

these all points are my own mann ki baat. puri tarah se galat sabit ho sakta hu. but ill take my chances with this strategy rather than aim for perfection.

ukraine if accepted nato membership would let murica install nuclear missiles right at the gates of russia

latvia estonia lithuania are already nato members

you are basically encircling russia from all sides

ukraine under nato means black sea gone for russia.

last time i checked india is also a informal nato member (of sorts), yes there is such a scheme in nato. ill get you the name in sometime. it was in vision monthly.

so when russia is being encircled like that, then why should it not see these activites of us as a threat. anf its not the earstwhile weak ussr.

economy: i cant mention anything more than nord stream here. europe is largely russian dependent.

ukraine by the way has a large russian supporting population.

please read a bit of current affairs before asking "please elaborate"

if i have an opinion, i have my set of arguments to back it up.

and about history: start from iranian war, iraq war, afghan war, vietnamese war. 

about the modus operandi of usa: watch documentaries.

thats called having no arguments of your own and engaging in whataboutery.

i say its about because of A reason that this should happen. one goes "no see, A reason has these many flaws"  as if i were explaining why A reason is justified on various historical grounds, which could easily take a different debate.

or something like that but they wont come with a new B reason to substantiate their original point. ofcourse, unnecessary offence taking has to be the norm.

there are somethings which i notice in the attitude of us. they think that only they have the moral authority to increase their sphere of influence. they do not respect borders. they only think in economic terms. sell weapons and leave countries in war. 

there was a video of trump with MBS. he was sitting next to him in an official meet and was acting like a total businessman which is, by holding a chart if you will which had offers of military equipment. luring mbs to buy his weapons as they are mere peanuts for him

as of now biden is saying that russia will be help accountable. what about holding them accountable for afghanistan. all they did was enable taliban with high grade military systems. no accountability for other regional wars too

@AureliusM russia is also not doodh ka dhula hua types. if you remember in syrian war, russia supported assad and led to indiscriminate bombings over syrian civilians. syria me toh US was actuallty sending its trained militias to counter isis and these militias were not allowed to fight assad (USs' fault). but then russia had no business being there
russian hybrid warfare is also never fully exposed. thats the reason why russia is seen as a victim to me (maybe). 
im only wondering as to what is stopping ukraine from joining nato now. apart from the demographic makeup a part of which is tilted towards russia

US didnt go there. they trained militias. 5400 troops. to go in syria and fight isis. but they were heavily ill equipped even after training.
this reminds me of afghanistan where locals were trained by them but taliban defeated them with ease. 
not allowed to fight assad. some jumped to other side joined him

5 min of brainstorming in both essay combined is not something to be proud of. for all i can do in 5 mins is take deep breaths to control the situation of seeing all philosophical essays followed by choosing the right topic (safest + demand is clear + i can explore maximum dimensions). actually this takes more time. the follow up is actually easy as i let brain go haywire and finally arrange thoughts. start writing and more thoughts follow which are subsequently included.

rest completing all papers before 10 mins in my view probably means that content was not just average but like really average. "infrastructure is good for india " type average. it can also mean that mind was working seamlessly and all questions were well attempted as thoughts(relevant) kept pouring in. i have to think even in 10 marker for 6-7 seconds before starting to write.while writing, thoughts keep pouring intermittently which decides average or above average answer for me. and that breaks flow and time needed increases (for me)

one doubt wrt ethics case studies:

i have not used the concepts of part A in case studies by specifically mentioning (ex: i have not written "as per utilitarian perpective iwill do this... or , by going for rights apporach to solve ethical dilemma)

reason for not doing so is that i feel that theory is tested i part A. they need solutions now and analysis.

also, i have scored fine (as per me) in case studies of mocks without writing the abovementioned


is it an issue?

@Declared_Dead i cant say that there is no issue in overlapping answers.
but my instinct said that they framed these 2 questions together to tire one out, in other words they did expect us to write 15 different values. i have absolutely no idea what the 2nd part of first q is asking so i would say that it is at best a misdirection. thats me in my denial mode when i know i messed up something.

by misdirection i simple mean that the second part means nothing. what i wrote in first q was a breakdown of values of neutrality. there ae 4 of those. i explained them a bit as one wouldnt know they are different unless i explicitly tell them. this helped me write 10 different values in question 2.

so thats all i can add from my end in those 2 questions. i can only talk about what i did.

@sjerngal if you have writte hmta, then you can get more
i wrote 4 things including hmta, but they were unrelated to tribals
study of calcutta city , use of culture area to understand sacred sites ad 1 more.
hmta was later compared to roy burman

i thought of attempting sc roy. but then there too only a specific thing is asked. one had to write on mores and traditions only.
the other question of sc roy part were equally if not more specific
but in nk bose, other two were fairly easy. PRI and tribals and education
didnt write a lot on nk bose dont think its needed

how was neolithic question. did you attempt it?

@Sahilkumar i have 2 pages ready on sc roy
but i cant find answer to the question: role of customary laws in TRIBAL LIFE.

all i can see here is, folklore is regarded as prehistory of human mind. earlly intellectual evolution of human society is studied by folklore
as an MLC, govt took his advice on policy matters regarding tribals.
-in 1921, he helped resolve a conflict between british and mundas. under the parha system of mundas, they assembled in a meeting. british took it as a revolt . SC roy acted as a link between tribals and british and diffused tension
-in the oraons of lohardaga, there was a dispute arising due to the issue of bonga. the story is a bit long but oraons had a bonga symbol and the other community (caste) also used a similar bonga symbol. SC roy interevened and gave a culturally acceptable solutio to oraon. 

now in general, following could be written on his understanding of tribe:
- he regarded tribe as an irrefutable categoryand had some prominent characterisics.
pure simple isolated primitive culture
-no written langauage available. custom is the code of morality
-he also highlited the instution of dormitory ie dhumkuria of oraon
-he utilized tylor's animism to explain oraon religion

again, he was influenced by boas' diffusion: 
HISTORY SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD TO APPRECIATE CULTURE. SOURCE OF HISTORY IS FOLKLORE AND PREHISTORICAL EVIDENCE
we donot write his archeological work here as it isnt asked.
-also gave a definition on caste, dont think its needed too

-he did give an evolutionary journey of oraon. i dont see how customary laws are to be explained here. oe can always be inventive.

https://m.jagran.com/lite/bihar/bhojpur-six-people-became-assistant-professor-leaving-the-post-of-dsp-and-deputy-collector-22520958.html

You can work in PSC jobs for 25 years, be better than all of your UPSC seniors and still new upsc recruits, who also have studied the same GS, will be promoted before you. They'll get better cars, accommodation and other perks.

They'll be learning the job from you and other underlings not just during training but their entire careers and still won't learn the job. They'll trash your work for not using Bureaucratic English. They'll be sort of managing your day to day work.

Every year you'll have to do Gandhigiri to not get transferred to far flung areas. You'll be forced to do dubious things on command of higher ups. But if you're bent and have no morals this is just a great job and will make you rich.

No such thing in Assistant professor jobs. You may even get the top post one day. People tend to look for jobs where they may reach the top.

Asst Professor means no transfers! Set for life. Lots of free time, and if you're really interested in your subject, many opportunities for research and travel, Plus automatic "Respect" in society. They usually (should) leave it only for IAS/IPS home cadre or IFS.

Are you seriously comparing the respect a Dy SP or SDM gets to whatever an Assistant Professor gets.

Even your father's cousin's friend's son will brag about his father's friend's cousin's son is Dy SP or SDM. These people can get things done. They also lend people money because they generally have surplus cash. Assistant professors are always asking to borrow money.  Even their children don't think much of them. That's the ugly truth.

But quality of life and work environment is still a lot better in assistant professor




Haha bro... reality is very different. Dy Collector in Bihar seems like a very prestigious post, but when you get into the services, AIS officers will have superiority over you. I know a person who got into Ssc cgl, got one promotion, went to become Dc inBihar , came back to rejoin in centre

I know this all too well. One of my friends in group b service with loads of extra income got selected as assistant professor, he was thinking of declining it. A few bent people were also advising him to decline it. I persuaded him to take the job. I basically told him that If I was in his place I'd throw my resignation today.

He was getting 6000 grade pay I think above that any amount of extra income won't matter if you're not satisfied with your work environment and career progression.

But you do understand that Deputy collectors carry much more weight in society if not in their offices. One of my long distance cousins got SDM in UP PCS and his parents threw a grand party. The pride his parents show is just something else. He soon got an expensive car and lots of money. He got married too.

Seriously? You don't see anything problematic in what you wrote?


Of course I do. We as a society have reached a stage where we condemn corruption and dowry in public but still aspire for it in private. Most people around me would give up a kidney for good postings throughout their careers. That's why people treat seniors offices with more respect than temples. They don't just turn around and walk away. They take few steps backward till they reach the door, bow down then walk away.

Here's a tip, people who are loudest about corruption are the first to sell their souls. Hopefully you'll find out soon. Best of luck.

Thanks for the tip. Now I'll look out for those who are "loudest about corruption" along with those who openly celebrate corruption🙏🏽😊👍🏽

In all my years in government, I haven't had a single lucrative posting nor have I ever asked for it, also I can't do the whole bootlicking thing. I don't know how you confused me stating facts with me celebrating corruption.

It's like if I say Northeast people are called c***** by everyone or the word bihari is treated as abusive word in Northwest or fair skin is worshipped, then all of a sudden you think I'm celebrating all these. It's just plain facts, look around you.

I'm in a govt service too, that too an Accounts service, so I may not need your tuition class about corruption.

You are free to say that someone who talks about corruption is likely to sell their soul, but when the same medicine is given back, you find it bitter. Nice👍🏽

Then you haven't seen enough of government. People who say knowledge a lot are not knowledgable at all and the people who say honesty and integrity a lot always seem to be on lucrative postings. Anyways end of discussion. Women's day functions going on here.

Ppl with previous experience of mains

How much of variation did you see in actual marksheet from your expected conservative marks?

What/How are you improving on since then?


All the best

I have written 5 mains so far..

GS1 and GS4 are always less than expected for me. GS2 and GS3 are usually as expected.

Essay ..my first attempt (2017), i expected 150 , as i believed i wrote  really good essays on agriculture and women(good old days , where no mandatory philosophical topics are there). I got 110, while top score that year is 175. There after my essays got stagnant in range of 125-130, which are more or less on expected lines.

With respect to improvement, my GS and essay scores are almost similar from my 2nd attempt, irrespective of all the value additions, answer writing practice etc etc. Average marks in GS2 and GS3, below average in GS1 and GS4 .


If my optional clicks..i used to get interview call or if it tanks i couldn't clear mains. And i could never predict my optional score since it's humanities. It fell down from 280(2018) to 210 (2019) to 250(2020)


With increasing attempts the variation between your expectations and actual scores reduce, atleast for GS. Optional tho.. Only God knows .😂



bhai 2 questions hain:

-gs1 and 2 me & 3 and 4 me apne bataya apka average raha h. scores bhi bata dijiye ap

-optional me main kharab score toh nai kahuga kyunki 250 average hai kharab nai. muje ye puchna ki optional me kya value addition ka time nai milta tha because of subbsequent mains?

Scores usually varies depend on scaling in that year..hence i can't put a number as it's going to be misleading.

For me.

Average =( general trends of scores in  top 200 people )- 10 marks.. For example...in 2020.
Eg: gs2 last year, many selected people got in range of 105-120,  i got 98 or 99, then it's average.

Below average = ( general trends of scores in  top 200 people )- 20 marks.
Eg: My ethics in 2019 is 118, where as most of selected folks got in 140s.its below average.

It's purely subjective. Others may have different opinions.
I just pitched in this Gyan..as I'm also bored waiting for results 😀 so take it lite.

Regarding optional, it depends on how one manages time, his mental health between pre and mains , how much value he wants to add etc etc. I mean if one is preparing full-time, 3-4 months are decent enough to add value for optional notes. 


All the best 👍

right right

thanks for analysis

how did you find this year papers of gs 2 and 3 specifically?

did you attempt all questions ?

and what is your take on checking pattern if upsc. are they liberal and exercise some forbearance in questions which are clearly unknown to majority?

asking this because you have given so many mains so this situation must have arisen at some point. by looking at your marks later on you must reached at some conclusion as far as checking is concerned.

um i have a serious doubt can anyone sort it?

just out of curiosity i checked last UR IAS 2020

its rank 78 with general category in service allocation pdf i retrieved from a website.

in the marks allocation the the rank 78 is OBC.

my doubt is: has the OBC candidate taken UR seat?

im confused here

ive checked some toppers of categories other than ur as well in both lists. the category mentioned has not changed in both lists. is it just an error?


2.9k views

if a person of any category clears the cutoff of UR , the that person (category person) takes away UR seat.

however if a person is unable to clear ur cutoff, they will get the same post in their category (if they clear the category cutoff)


if rank 15 has 1021 marks and cleared ur IAS cutoff, then they take ur seat. however the category mentioned is still their own in service allocation

this has not happened in 78th rank. why? why has category itself changed? is this a minor typo error?

around 19% is the probability of a UR clearing mains if we consider all outcomes equally likely.

Bro in competition plz dont talk in terms of numbers. It will always seem impossible. 10 lakh candidates and just 72 IAS (for ur it means rank in top 72). Should we even prepare for such a competition?

Better think in terms of marks. If one got 790 last year. Think wat needs to b done to get 836. Then competition will become bit doable


wo toh formula hi galat h na..

Shaivaite and vaishnav cults kuch hota toh tha bhai bhakti time. Maybe she meant in that sense. Cults dont jaut means pointed hats and the negative connotation that has come to be associated with the term due to various dangerous cults. Bhakti saints had their devotion directed towards one beloved God who maybe Krishna or Ram, and to him only they showered their love and affection. I have not read this part of history much as of now so I'd ask history guys to illuminate us. 

all im saying is, when you know that using a certain word may lead to an uproar as people usually understand that word in a certain way only and given that the fact that your video will be viewed by a much larger audience not just limited to cse aspirants is known to you, why would use that word next to something as revered as bhakti.

just say bhakti movement. 

aisa nai h ki cult word nai use karne se ap kuch kam cool ho jate

Bhakti saints had their devotion directed towards one beloved God who maybe Krishna or Ram, and to him only they showered their love and affection. I have not read this part of history much as of now so I'd ask history guys to illuminate us. 

all im saying is, when you know that using a certain word may lead to an uproar as people usually understand that word in a certain way only and given that the fact that your video will be viewed by a much larger audience not just limited to cse aspirants is known to you, why would use that word next to something as revered as bhakti.

just say bhakti movement. 

aisa nai h ki cult word nai use karne se ap kuch kam cool ho jate

"The idea of brotherhood of Islam and of the theoretical equality of its adherents made a powerful appeal, especially to those in Hindu fold who were denied any semblance of equal treatment. From this ideological impact grew up various movements aiming at a religious synthesis. "

these coincided with the IDEAS OF EQUALITY AND BROTHERHOOD being preached by sufi saints. people no longer satisfied with old religion, wanted to satisfy reason. due to these factors bhakti MOVEMENT became a popular movement in north india during 15-16th CE..."


-my understanding: pehli cheej. islam and sufism is not same. though sufism is not a new religion, it itself came in response to an oppresive islam. i can show the source of this its just few pages back.

-the teacher has said these words: "..due to islam in india, there were 3 good concepts which made the religion attractive. due to these 3 attractive qualities of islam, people began to CONVERT TO ISLAM. in order to stop this, they introduced a reform MOVEMENT (glad she said that its a movement, ncert me kahin cult nai dia h).

so my conclusion is: concocted tareeke se cheej ko batane ki koshish ki gayi hai.

-there is a difference between tackling a threat in ones religion by reforming it (main reason) vs ushering in of a movement (or a cult if you will), because you find 3 qualities of ISLAM attractive (which by the way is itself reformed to sufism) , a not such a main reason as claimed.

Point to note is - left ecosystem k part hone k baad bhi he rejects the argument that islamic ideas gave birth to the bhakti movement. 

Both bhakti n sufi elements interacted with each other long before arrival of the Turkish invaders . Nd after establishment of the Delhi sultanate such interaction got a boost . 

But to say that  Sufism or Islam had anything to do with the birth of bhakti movement is quite problematic.

@Admgenalanezh I am only commenting on those toppers’ jinki multiple copies I’ve seen (at least 2 from each paper) and yes, I do think they write well. By well I don’t mean jargon and something extraordinary.. but  better than the rest in terms of content, composition, relevance. (eg- Vaishaka (Singh?), Akshat Jain, Ria Dabi, Tina Dabi (acc to 2015 standards), Ankita (AIR 3 this year).
However, I absolutely don’t agree with the test series ‘best copies’ that vision / forum upload. Sometimes I think people have written those answers after going through the coaching solutions… coaching people want to stick to very narrow conventional content. And for some reason they love it when the innovation is shown in the way of writing (flow charts etc) giving content a backseat. So many times when I’ve scored less in test series and went on to compare with best copies, I felt like the evaluation has been really average & borderline unfair.

@RaGa In engineering/maths ,if u have worked very very hard for years and if u have a good day on exam, u may get 300+ or even 320s
If you have a very bad day still 250+.
However, most people grossly underestimate the effort required and get very poor marks.

The good thing about these optionals is that the rules of the game is very clear.If u have capacity to study madly and have concepts,the game is yours.The game is in your control not UPSC.More hard work often leads to more marks.

However,this is not the case with humanities optionals, hard work may not lead to marks and then one falls in a trap of marks around 240s and doesn't know how to increase it.
I will always choose an optional where hard work translates into marks. 
The challenge in technical optionals is very clear-Jigre me dam to hai lo and reward leke jao.😅

Anthro paper esp 10 marker specific rehta hai, agar na aye to 4 line likhna bhi mushkil hai.

Unlike history ,jaha pe kuch to pel sakte adhe page ka agar pata bhi na ho to.

Edit: Mera btw history hi hai, respect for all the optionals🙏

Arey nhi bhai. Sab individual pe depend krta hai. Hm toh specific m bhi likh dete hain. 1number toh de de.

Last year q1 (compulsory) main 4 aate nhi the. Term hi zindagi m 1st time sune the. Ab 40 number blank toh chhod nhi sakte. Aise m generic likh dete.

Example: natufian culture: genric tools like hand axe, political, social organization likh diye. 1 toh dega.

1 question tha victor tuner and liminality. Second term ka meaning pta nhi tha. Toh victor turner ka contribution likh diye. 1-2 toh milega

bro what you are saying about natufian culture, i completely agree with that. rank 1 too didnt know that answer but he did write on mesolithic-neolithic which was correct.

maine kai toppers ko suna hai but kisiko ye bolte nai suna ki pages sare fill hona zaruri hai. afterall time issue toh rahega hi. in that case a compromise has to be reached between quality and quantity.

I have interacted with around 20 mains candidates.. including few on this forum through chat..

Around 80% of them said that they have performed well and are expecting around 270+ in optional and 130+ in essay..


In GS .. Expectation of around 400 is common among candidates this year..


So point I m making is..

Many are expecting 800+ this year.. whether they get or not is altogether a different story..

Expectations are higher this year than previous.. this shows paper was easier this year atleast as per the perception of the candidates..


PS.. I m not exaggerating.. stated what I have observed..


On a lighter note- 

There is a saying in law - " A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client" 

It may be modified to - "  A man who is his own paper checker has a fool for an aspirant "


One who cannot estimate his/her performance is not an expert either.. it is not wrong to be able to make a rational analysis of performance..


Some people are trying to project as if those guessing their marks are fools and only they are smart.. but actually it's other way around...


hahahaha hank bhai personal le liya tumne but hum nahi lenge. Ye khela kai baar dekh chuke hain cut-off, good answer, bad answer, tough paper easy paper. I say with confidence of an expert that rational analysis in this exam is not possible at all. Baaki haan anxiety hoti hai to hum bhi thoda calculator chala lete hain but deep down pata hai ki it is futile excercise. Lekin to each their own. Khela chalte rahna chahiye.

Pesa pesa. Isko kese bhool gye. Bjp spent around 30k crore during 2019 elections. Itna pesa kisi ke paas nhi. Kha se aata hai pesa ye isse pta karlo ki first step after coming to power was corporate tax rate cuts. Corporate benefits from wholesale privatisation and monopolies, and poor gets the illusion of welfare through monetisation of benefits which puts money in hand and which is more effective psychologically in influencing voter choice as a direct correlation can be made between benevolent Prime minister and beneficiaries, compared to mnrega, rte , mid-day meals etc

Pesa is God in todys world. Koi Akshay Kumar yuhi aakey PuBG ban hone par Logo ko appease krne ke liye fake FAUG nhi announce kar deta, ya PMCARE fund ka phla donor nhi bnata. Theres a quid pro quo. To conduct propaganda you need influencers , you need dedicated workers who can spin all kind of wild conspiracy theories, you need to cultivate a new breed of intellectuals who can talk about vision ias jihad and such nonsense while keeping a solemn face, you need FB executives who don't ban groups propagating hatespeech and genocidal calls so as not to mar their business prospects with the ruling party, and not to forget you need pliant news anchors ready at a whistle to push your propaganda and dehumanise opponents. All of this requires money. money may not the only factor but it's an important factor. Waki apni apni views hai yaar.

Not proud bhai. It was a very difficult time. People eulogize the exam too much. Sadly, everyone thought I cleared "IAS exam" but then I'm still here. So answering so many questions  now. Infact, had stopped socializing for a while. 

I wish you get good rank and desired service. 

Bro..

You don't need to justify to anonymous people on  forum.

You posted your experiences to tell people to be mindful , while filling the service preferences in daf. It's upto others to take it in whatever way they want to take.

Moreover, posting marks and year of selection, people can easily track your name and other details , as it's available on public domain. I don't think you would want it either.

All the very best to you. Cheers😀

Yes

The only intention is to ID the person. It's foolish to fall into such an ego trap and disclose yourselves in a platform full of anonymous people. 

As if anyone will get Olympic gold medal by knowing the name ..

It's like you are giving a bit too much importance to yourself..

Certainly not interested in that.. but definitely in marks..


Anyways.. ab recommended candidates hain to hain bhai.. we stand nowhere in front of the elites

sharing anything with anonymous people is the worst thing one can do online.

they have your chats , your statements , your views.

without knowing the context, the position on those statements at a different point in time, situation, personality of the person and other variables at play, they can and they DO use that information and target you on any other platform. mostly to malign image.

not everyone is has same maturity level.

I can only tell my experience (and no "sir" please). I didn't attend mocks during the initial period, thought I'll prepare first and then attend. But that's a mistake. It doesn't matter if we get destroyed in a mock (unless they capture the video and upload it without permission). So, I'd say, if some good institute is conducting a mock now, with a good panel, and provided you don't have to travel long distance to attend it, it's good to attend.

To me, questions from both history (optional) and degree subject were asked. But no questions about hone state. Home state, degree subject, optional, hobbies are all equally important. To me, history optional question was asked connected to another fact provided in my DAF (wrt Sanskrit), and from there they asked 3-4 questions, mostly simple and direct.

From degree subject, few practical questions were asked, again pretty basic stuff.

thank you for all this info

i have an eerie feeling that i am very late now in prep of this. but no point of thinking now.

This will ruffle a few feathers but this judgement and the reaction to it shows how distinctively anti-Indian a very large section of Muslims are. 
The court asked the petitioners to prove that hijab is an essential practice which incidentally finds no mention whatsoever in the Quran. All it asks for us to be dressed modestly. To my understanding, Hijab as a cultural artefact has gained prominence in the recent times, post the increasing dominance of the Saudi theologians. 
On a personal observation basis, Hijab wasn’t so prominent as recently as 10-15 years back. 
Yet the way Muslims are reacting to this verdict, calling it ‘apartheid’, ‘nazism’ and what not just shows how ‘Indian’ they truly are.
No respect for the rules and laws of the land and that too in favour of what is largely a cultural import from a foreign nation. Since when did objects of patriarchy become a symbol of power? Only in the Muslim world I guess. 
I’ve always maintained that a reform against the hijab must originate from Muslim women themselves. Today I can confidently say that in order to chase the ‘persecution dopamine’, Muslim women are completely willing to subject themselves to ‘loving patriarchy’ in the name of ‘culture’. 
The colleges maintained a stand they’ve had since forever, wear what you want outside the gates, inside, you wear the uniform. A stand that’s been very consistent. Now with the rise of institutions like PFI, you suddenly see all these new formed ‘existential’ issues for Muslims. Surprisingly (or not), the so called educated, ‘intellectual’ elite are on the wrong side of the debate (again).
I don’t consider myself an opportune feminist, my stand is clear, under no pretext must objects of patriarchy be justified. Ghungat, Purdah, Hijab and the ilk have no other justification for their existence outside of dictations by men who have traditionally held power. ‘It’s religious’, ‘it’s our faith’ has no argumentative standing. 

Courts and laws have broken down what were forever considered essential religious practices even before this country officially existed. Why can’t the great learned feminists and Muslim intellectuals recognise what the real problem here is? I haven’t seen one person from the famous intellectual cabal decry the creeping imposition of hijab. 
I’m a Hindu but I’m an Indian first, I didn’t burst crackers on Diwali because it’s not an essential practice and it harms the environment, I don’t believe in casteism because it’s not an essential practice, I couldn’t keep long hair at school because it’s not an essential practice. All this requires respect for the law of the land. On the other hand, despite court orders, loudspeakers are still growing in number- no power can get them to even lower the volume; new controversies are routinely being generated as evident from this hijab fiasco. 

Funnily enough, it’s now the state that’s denying these ‘bright’ girls education by not allowing them to wear the hijab in college. 


 Absolutely baffles me how people don’t see a problem with this

bhai ispe toh itne debates sun lie hain ki kya hi bataun

@Akkku which violence are you talking about? Last I checked, protest was legal in the country. Even in that case, though I support the judgement, that was a blatant overreach by the judiciary imo. Additionally, wasn’t one of the petitioners a Muslim? What role does she have in a religion and a sect that doesn’t concern her? 
Plus, the situation we’re talking about isn’t comparable. But of course this is the kind of whataboutery expected from your ilk of spineless cowards.

like the way you cement your arguments

this should be done in current scenario where suddenly a veil of victimhood has become a norm

i usually dont mince words when something is going on in the name of something else (you know what this is). i take stand, unless i am writing a upsc answer in which case a 'nuanced' stance is needed

This victimhood is continuing since ever. For this judgement also which is declared by state to bring reforms in a country against a practice which is protested almost everywhere in the world will be called Nazism and some particular religious group which forms majority in this country will be blamed.


Just like how Barkha Dutt justified genocide of minority in Kashmir by people of "peaceful" faith.

On the Hizab judgement, I feel people are not differentiating between Burkha and Hizab as seen in image posted in this thread above.

Also for upsc we celebrated how Indian secularism is more inclusive then French and why is it better. In India Hindus too wear tilak and thread on hand etc. Whereas france has strict ban on any religious symbol.

Also in Sabrimala case you are preventing someone else (women) to enter, whereas in Hizab case you want to cover your head and neck. 

Further it is true that wrong has been done to Kashmiri pandits. But it should be remembered it is always powerful (in democracy, it is majority) oppressing minority. In Kashmir muslims did wrong to Hindus, but similar is case when muslims killed in Ayodhya 1992 or Sikhs in 1984 or Muslims in Godhara or Brus in Mizoram. Though Kashmiri pandits could not return to their home that is tragic but I think that is due to terrorism (foreign nation sponsored) and because they were relatively affluent community so translocated. 

In Albert Camus's words, "Democracy is not rule of majority but protection of minorities." 

- public life me jisko jo pehenna pehene

-secularism inclusive hai tabhi to educational institutions mein unformity karna hai.

-france me public life me hi religious symbol allowed nai hai.

-in kashmir, the locales were also involved in killing of pandits. they were brainwashed and whatnot.

@Capedcrusader1 Btw he kisliye hunger strike, extra attempt for all for a few years due to covid, ya without prelims mains likhne ka request? Without prelims mains likhne ka request is completely unfair as per me and UPSC will not allow it in any case, may be they may just increase one attempt till a particular year like 2025 etc


i checked out of curiosity long back. it was about last attempt. i dont know what form it has taken now. i dont think hunger strike is related to the latest mains issue due to covid. 

that one attempt thing is about prelims only. but they should give 1 extra attempt. what have they got to lose

did anyone know about the fact that putin allegedly rigged 2016 US elections to favour Trump? he led a hacking campaign to malign hiliary clinton's image . basically he saw trump as a favourable president(many reasons for this) so that he could gain a free hand in carrying out his misadventures within russia and also syria.

trump in his meeting with putin in washington actually denied all the claims about russia's hand in election of US. putin saw his arch nemesis, president of USA being completely stupid to the core, shooting himself, all to putin's advantage.

i am stating all this to seek a reply from people who claim to say that ukraine wouldnt have happened if trump would have been the president. any arguments to counter me here?

It's rumored that Putin has a golden shower video of Trump. Trump only won because Hillary said she'd tax the rich and the rich cannot let politicians or public believe that you can commit blasphemy and still win an election.

I was watching the Trump-Hillary debate on YouTube back in 2016 and all the comments were on 5 basic themes and all in favor of Trump. The channel was cnn so at least 70% of them should have favored Hillary. Explaning all this will take a long time. Basically it's called astroturfing or fake grassroot the current strategy of prashant kishore. It involves a lot of fake news, rigged election claims, social media comments and posts creating a perception of mass support, creating groups on Facebook or quora buying likes and comments.

Putin probably wasn't responsible for Trump's election but Ukraine wouldn't have happened if Trump was in power, mainly because of the golden shower video and his wife is probably kgb.

Putin certainly did interfere in presidential elections. it was a part of his expansion policy under which among other things like countering color revolutions being supported by US elsewhere, he had to attack US directly. which he did. there are a lot of evidences for this interefence. the reports in US are proof.

after this, he got even more emboldened when trump came into power in 2016 because there was an opinion that trump is lot similar to putin on many grounds. democracy was threatened in US and people were divided in US which was what putin achieved. 

Trump clearly accepted no role of russia in this in a press conference with putin right next to him smiling, on being asked a striaghtforward question to trump (whom do you believe, russia or proofs in US). but all that aside, my sole question still remains. we have enough to bash biden's leadership in all this. but what exactly would have trump done. would appreciate being enlightened on trump's actual actions taken in such situations apart from his rhetorics. one thing which he failed at was strenghtening US democracy (attack on capitol hill). anything which weakens democracies is good for putin.

OUT- 5th attempt and 1st mains. 

I am utterly confused on what to do next so hoping somebody could guide me. I had been working in a government organisation and resigned in January 2021. The decision for resigning was based on 

1. Obviously wanted to give a whole hearted attempt at UPSC before moving on 

2. I didn't want to continue working in the same organisation due to not so great promotion opportunities and work profile 

I couldn't clear prelims in the first 3 attempts because I jumped into the sea of appearing for the examination without any preparations. By my fourth attempt I realised that I should have planned on appearing only after preparing well. So, I wasted my first 3 attempts because I wasn't prepared well. I started preparing only after getting into the job so I should have planned by attempts maybe 2 years after because what normally people could cover in 1 year, I was able to cover in 2. 

Failing to clear in the 4th attempt was heartbreaking but then I knew what shortcomings I had and worked on them. In my 5th attempt, clearing prelims was a great motivator also because I had quit my job and was 2 steps closer to my goal. But I have failed to clear mains and obviously I do realise that there are loopholes in my mains preparation. 

Long story short, when I quit my job I planned on giving one fully dedicated attempt and then moving on if I wasn't able to clear. Now, I am at that stage where I should be moving on. But I feel so confused if I should appear once again for my last attempt or go on preparing for CAT.  

If all goes rosy, I will only need 1 year to settle. However, if it doesn't I will need 4 year because 2022 goes to waste and I will appear for CAT in 2023 and start college from 2024. 

Can anybody guide me rationally. I know the decision is mine to make but all I am looking for is some fresh perspective. 

Congratulations and all the best to people who have cleared. Give your best :) 

bro is CAT really that attractive? in terms of assurity of job?

only asking as my query

4.6k views
@Capedcrusader1 Dont know about job assurity but it does open gates to corporate sector if you have had long break or in my case my job experience is not of much value in corporate and I want to swtich from a technical to non- technical job 


yes

actually i always think of cat is risky because as you said you are giving it 4 years 

btw there are exams which are similar to cat, infact easier, of govt.you probably know all those

i have my personal question to ask. If i get a govt job which is lower to cse posts , followed by cse prep, is it a wise idea. im asking this because i do give other exams and reach till the end but deep down i know that i can improve on cse

@CluelessForNow Please don't make career decisions today. Think anything regarding  career after a week's time.

This exam isn't as subjective as people claim.
Whether in pre or mains,when i  worked hard with good answer writing and paper management, I cleared them.
When I didn't do these things,I didn't clear.

Most of my friends who cleared it before have again cleared it.
Those of my friends who didn't clear previously,unfortunately they didn't clear yet again.

Its not that subjective as we so often portray.

I will talk very straight and im sorry if it feels blunt

That feeling of giving best and things going well is common.
The reason for that is -
We judge our performance on an absolute scale instead of relative scale.
In my opinion,the day u start thinking that how u have to make ur answers best not just correct, it will do wonders. 
U dont just have to beat the question but also ur competitors. 
When u r able to scale up ur preparation to that level, try giving exam then and see its objectivity. 

If ur love for academics is greater than civil services then kindly go for NET
If u think u can't scale up ur mains prep in a short time then go for NET
But if u r serious about civil services,then u have to prepare mains as if u r aiming for top rank not just IAS.

Again its not that subjective 

Everyone likes good presentation

Everyone likes easy to check answers (Structuring )

Everyone likes relevant ,if not best, content.

Everyone likes unique answers.

The thing is relevance+uniqueness+presentation+structure 

If u can work on them its a symphony not randomness or Brownian motion.

the reasons apart from the time given in this exam which is not letting me leave it outright is that i have seen improvement along the way, have seen my mock scores and worked upon them, pretty much know now what went wrong and that i know myself. i am very stubborn and i think many oeople are like me. 

5.5k views
i also think that the exam is doable now for me. for some reason its not all that difficult as i believed it to be. Now i only need strength to be acceptable to improvements which is mentally taxing rather than being stubborn when its not needed.

agreed with many points especially relevance uniqueness presenstation and structure. these 4 are not upto the mark now. i just thought that completing 20 questions by just fulfilling demand is enough. turns out its not

@Capedcrusader1 Definately you can take up a job since you have been preparing for quite sometime so you can manage job and preparation. And at the end of the day it is about if you find meaning in the work you are doing. However, sometimes circumstances are such that you have to prioritise a job that pays over a job that you dont want to do. So, choose accordingly 


complete agree with you

this also happens with many

5.4k views
@Capedcrusader1 I'm confident you will work upon all these things.

I too used to think that these extra things,uniqueness,presentation etc are not mandatory and meeting demand is sufficient. 
I was proved wrong when I failed in my previous mains.

Another equally important thing is paper management. 
Giving equal time to most of the questions is very important. 
A decent quality answer × 20 is better than 12 best answers and 8 bad answers .

paper time management is largely not an issue i remember  in all gs papers

and i had included data etc too in answers

thats why as of now, i wont say that a huge change is needed. the reason for my failure is for optional

my copy would have looked really disgusting with so many skull diagram being practised and no sense of seriousnsess. if such a copy would reach my hands, i too would not be very liberal with marks to myself.

time crunch is also the issue in optional and less value addition and current relevance is not there.

gs cant be wronged until marks are out. in my case.


how do you plan on improvising gs writing now? one cant do it now

@Forumite you are suggesting that there's a method to this madness. Were you able to pull off the 4-spice mantra for all your answers in exam conditions... And could you highlight the uniqueness aspect of it?


its not about all the questions. but ek koshish toh karni padegi ki achha theek hai 5/6 answers me dhyan de dia

ab iske lie karna kya hai pta nai

topper copy dekhein, ya value addition search karein jisme diagram ho, ya beforehand tayar rakhe ye sab, ya koi utube channel pe search karein. isme madness hai. kyunki muje lagta h sab 20 questions likh sakte hain meri tarah aur fir bahar payenge khud ko. i think s400, who, aqg wagera dhang se aata rha hoga logo ko, maine isme bhi jabaran number de dia khud ko

6th Attempt, 4th mains and finally civils journey comes to an end. 

Started my journey 5 years ago with enthusiasm at its peak.Gave a half baked attempt along with job. Thought I will give it my all and went for full fledged prep. Now the cycle has finally ended. 

My learnings from the journey.. And if people can relate to it.. 

1.doing a solid homework before jumping in

I messed up with my optional initially and wasted two mains.

2.Not seeking help when required. 

3.Loosing momentum after prelims. 

4.Failing to realise each stage has its specific demands. 

5.Overconfident initially as I was a bright student throughout.

6.Even though my tipping point was reached within first two years of prep, still continued to hang on.

7.Finally luck is an essential element which we don't realise.

However this exam has taught me a lot of life lessons which will always stay.More than knowing about things happening around me, it has made me a more self aware individual. 



bhai you are a motivating force for many

i too have decided to fight it out 

btw can you tell me what is your opinion on mains? what you think didnt work for you

@Capedcrusader1 for doing well in mains, u need to be good to very good in ur optional..the last 30 days time before mains should be most efficiently used. 


i worked really hard this time. its very tough to accept failure. optional needs to be strenghtened and how exactly is my fear 

thanks for advice

Something fishy suspicious surely happens behind the closed doors of upsc. How come it happens that there are 30% girls in final list very year when only 7 % girls clears prelims. Upsc is breeding secrecy and dishonesty in the name of confidentiality.

We have 30% women representation in UPSC 

atleast know the exam you’re giving

i really wouldnt like to comment on GS as of now until marks are out.

i can speculate N number of things that might have gone wrong. but the thing is i cant do drastic changes too. 

and i know what went wrong in optional which i know has led to my failure.
