Mains 2021 Result declared - In or Out?

With due respect to so-called 'insiders', I think we should believe their words at our own risk. This just adds to speculation.

I can also make a prediction that since essays were tough, many people will be scoring low. While, one who have given 'original content' (dont know what is that) are getting rewarded with 140+ score.

I remember trusting their 'sources' at the time of prelims result. While the result came out that day itself, the date of the result was already provided by media 2~3 days back. While in the TG group, it was presented as if .....

They have no Idea. 

In few days they will say results will be out around 12-15 or something like that ' deadline is 18 march'

and when the date is close they start looking for Friday and the game starts. After this every day is result day since morning to evening  they keep you in horror by making it seem like result can be out at any moment now.

And result will come eventually because they already told you  so but they do it every night before you go to sleep and listen to ' Yahi raat antim yahi raat bhari' and next day from morning to evening you will be feeling like going potty and waste entire day.

Be prepared for this :D

You are Nostradamus of our times.

@RaGa Rank 76 won't be considered UR necessarily, he need to have cleared all stages of exam pre, main, interview through general cut off, then only they take general seat and in cadre allocation list you see a $ sign in front of their category like SC$ which means candidate originally belonged to SC but qualified by general seat

@aa12 Yes you are correct, in that scenario UR ranks will go till 75

Even if an reserved candidate clear all stages with general cutoff and get rank in 60s or 70s, they still opt for reserved seat rather than UR for cadre preferences. This is a conscious choice by reserved candidate for cadre. 
This is the reason that most of candidates in reserved list issued by UPSC after an year belong to generals. So don’t worry UR seats are not eaten up.

If a candidate from reserved category clears all stages from general category then they are automatically allotted the general seat, there is no choice available to then to choose a seat of reserved category.

Anyone with history optional? What is the general opinion? While the paper, I know, can’t exactly be called difficult, it wasn’t very straightforward either, right? The first paper ? Good standard of questions, in my opinion. 

I think the history paper was one of the easier ones in recent times. Gives advantage to first timers to score better as compared to when tough paper comes which relatively gives the old timers a better chance to score.

@Sopranos I’m a first timer only so can’t exactly comment on its relative difficulty.  Because all the past year papers seem easy while seating at home 😅 

there wasn’t any question that I went blank on, in both the papers.  But by not easy I mean, the questions weren’t straightforward and it won’t be easy to score good. For example, they asked ‘stages of feudalism’ ; varna-Samkara; one should have REALLY REALLY studied well to answer well. 


If you didn't go blank that itself shows paper was easy unlike in years when UPSC had asked really obscure topics like Lekhapadhati, Malfuzat etc. So that's why say, most of the paper was doable, it was easy this year.

@Capedcrusader1  Whatever she said has an academic source, but neither PM nor the bhakt gang has any source for anything. Their knowledge is old. 🤣


bhai maine ncert old wali padhi hai. kahin bhi wo sab nai mila muje. main fir padh lunga. bhakti movement jahan hai wahan ye sab nai likha hai. so mere lie ncert hi source hai. aur sabke lie wahi h. ab khoj khoj ke kuch bhi le ao aur use authentic bologe toh dusri taraf ke bolenge ki galat hai, toh ye chalta rahega.

madam ka source of info ncert nai h toh uski relevance hai hi nai

Abhi logon ne ncert mein khoj diya tha madam ka source to tumne ncert ko bhi jhutla diya tha. Seedha kehdo ki madam ki baat achhi nahi lagi, kitaabon k aad mein apne opinion ko fact saabit karne mein lage ho.

@Capedcrusader1 bhai Upsc ko bhi transparency me state psc se sikhni chhaiye.kuch toppers exam ke last month tak lagatar 5 uploaded copy me bakwaas likhte aur achanak saraswati ji ke sapne me aane se xam din gaar aate jhande. aakhir hamare tax se chal rahi body me itna primordial bureaucratic mindset kyu as if official secret mang liya humne,wo bhi jab democracy name ka swag hai aaj kal junta me!!


Baat logically sahi hai but practically nahi. Jyada transparency upsc laaega to wahi state PCS type writ par writ hogi, exam delay hoga, aspirant suffer karenge. UPSC zealously guards it's exam process. Law mein ek Balance of convenience kahte hain. Ki ek decision ko ek direction mein lo to ek party of inconvenience hogi, dusri taraf lo to dusri ko, matlab inconvenience dono taraf hai, so judges choses option where inconvenience is less. I think UPSC ki transparency would be more inconvenient to aspirants as compared to its opaqueness. Hence I support UPSC stand of non disclosure of information, lesser inconvenience to aspirants, at least exam timely hota hai har saal.

Yaar it's logical ki result delay hoga, kyuki court me case pada hai so atleast 21 tak rukne chahiye.

Logical to hai bro but upsc ne kabhi delay kiya nahi kisi court case k kaaran. They have good counsels aur jyada hi shor machta hai to ASG/SG ko khada kar dete hain, writs k kaaran kabhi rukey nahi.

if i fill 2 pages in 20 marker and 1.5 in 15marker, does it create bad impression on examiner?

or he just looks at relevant points in the answer?

Agar me esa karke ata to me maan ke chalta ke nahi hona he selection chahe jo ho jae.

 4 pages hi isiliye diye he 20.marks ke questions me taki utna content koi dal paye. 2 page wale question hote to 10 number na allot krte us q ko. jaanchne wale bhi observer bias ka shikaar ho sakte he, they are not gods.

And don't forget the sheer level of competition, everything goes by theory of relativity in this exam

Since, we’re discussing questions now. Can anyone tell me tribal knowledge me kya likhna tha? GS 1

Indigenous knowledge ke baare me likhna tha with examples.

Andaman islander- how they know beforehand about tsunami 

Himalayan tribe- woolen cloth that can survive extreme temp 

Medicinal ( todas, khasis)

Agriculture ( koraput),

Rope making by birhor etc.

Conclusion me tkdl, language preservation etc.






Uniqueness of tribal knowledge and culture:

Civil engineering: Anda.an tribal making huts with ability to survive in tsunami

Health: Traditional medicines of herbs, belief in shamans, not aware of germ theory of disease, believe disease caused by bad deeds and I'll omens

Education system: Tribal schools/colleges where teenagers are taught life skills 

Weaponry: Use of spears, arrows

Agriculture system: Primitive, organic manure

agar ekdum straightforward points likhne the in 5-6 factual questions me toh fir 80+ achha score mana jayega gs 2 and 3 me . for 2 reasons:

- checking kisine bataya strict hua hai

- baki ke questions bhi kafi complex the bhale factual na ho.

muje nai lagta ki logo ko 14fc gdp s400 equality aqg etc kisi ko bhi 5-6 points exactly pata honge time ko dekhte hue

Experience se bata raha hun checking related saari info bogus hoti hai. Result date ka fir bhi idea lag sakta hai kyonki file movement hota hai upsc mein. Checking is completely discreet.

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 "

Wat is the worst situation in preparation of civil services?

For me it was when I thought that i hv given my best and still fail to qualify mains. It is the worst situation as it becomes difficult to even find where I was lacking.  

Worst is reaching till interview and not getting a rank. Aur ek aadh baar interview de diya aur bina selection k attempt over ho gaye to that is the worst. Pura life "what if I had" chalta rahega mind mein. Obviously people move on and do other things but man mein ek tees reh jaati hai ki un 15 minutes ne life ki direction badal di.

Is baar ka chakkar ye hai ki sabke papers kuch acche kuch average gaye hai, jo kharab hua hai Gs3 wo sabke liye equal rahega. Lekin fir bhi koi hadd se hadd apna total last year ke cutoff se upar rakh Raha hai.

Iska matlab yahi hai ki cutoff upar jayega.

Bhai ye is baar nahi hai ye har baar hai. Paper tough ho to logon ko lagta unka theek gaya hai baaki sab to bilkul doob gaye. Ek pub ad aspirant ka dialogue yaad hai mujhe after tough paper ki I know mera bekar gaya but everyone else has been f****d so relatively I will score better. 

Cut off upar neeche ka exam se kam checking pattern matter karta hai. Jyada specific marking start kar di jaaye to easy questions mein bhi log doob jaaenge. Pub Ad k ek saal mein logon ko single digit marks bhi aaye hain because of this. So marks or cut off par speculation is futile.

Clearing mains cutoff with<5 marks and preparing for interview like an idiot, not knowing the fact that all that effort is useless.

In worst case scenario, I would rather choose to flunk mains than just qualify in border.

I know ek bande ko jo aise situation mein bhi 212 laakar IRTS pakad lia tha, plus ek mains qualify karne se confidence bhi aata hai for next attempt

The only two services, which won't see any reduction in power, in my opinion are the IPS and IA&AS. IPS, because police is a necessary evil, and "powerful leaders"(who are on the rise all over India) like to keep police on their side.IPS will see an increase in power in the future.

IA&AS will remain the same, as it's the only service in the list which has some kind of constitutional backing (CAG), and if their powers are reduced, will result in huge political furore.

IA&AS is a powerful post..

Nice try dude..

First time heard that..

Nobody cares about them btw..

They keep looking for some calculation mistakes in accounts books.. but guess what..due to digitization that scope has ended..

All they get is chai nashta lunch from the pocket of staff members of the office where they audit ..that is all

System audit can't replace human audit, unless the AI becomes powerful enough. System can throw out the discrepancies in numbers, but it requires a human to make sense of it and arrive at good conclusions.

Bhai IAAS ka main benefit is just fast promotions. Rest itna koi audit ka power nahi hota bas thodi nuisance value hai wo bhi bohot jyada nahi hai. People in field are well aware of rules so audit doesn't scare them much.

Those claiming to have not joined the services after getting recommended are quiet about sharing the marks they scored..

Only talk about the posts.. because sharing marks will expose them..just like DKT

Ab itna bhi koi asambhav kaam nahi hai service mein select hokar join na karna. Agar koi already state PCS mein hai to IAAS k neeche ki service ko join karne mein jyada sense hai nahi. Aur ye "koi bhi service mil jaae" waali feeling bas rank na aane tak rehti hai. Jin din IIS/ICLS/IPTAFS type kuch join kar loge to day 1 se galiyan doge service ko aur bahar nikalne ka jugaad dhundhne lagoge.

I don't think so. Everyone in government are afraid of "audit guys". People make sure that they are given the best vehicles, accommodation, liquor (and money too) etc, so that nothing bad gets written about them on file. So many rules are out there, and so much interpretation that it doesn't matter even if you're 100% honest; and in govt, so many are corrupt.

Well maybe so. I didn't see such Khauf of Audit people. I have only seen people treating them as minor nuisance. And audit doesn't say anything about a person, may make comments on some decisions which as I said are routine objections just minor inconvenience.

Bhai IAAS ka main benefit is just fast promotions. Rest itna koi audit ka power nahi hota bas thodi nuisance value hai wo bhi bohot jyada nahi hai. People in field are well aware of rules so audit doesn't scare them much. 

I am in 4th year of service now. I'm yet to be a part of any project where rules are complied with 100%. 

So, audit scares everyone. It's not scare also. It's something else. No one wants trouble of audit para and all. Hence audit people will be kept "happy".

Bhai rules may not be complied with but on paper things are kept tidy, ab koi officer kaagaz bhi theek se na bana sake to fir to darna banta hai audit se.

@Philip_Marlowe,@Dip, as per your experience, would it be a bad decision to put IA&AS over IRS?

I've seen some videos where I got to know that in IRS though intake is low these years, is a bottom-heavy service. Hence slow promotions. IA&AS on the other hand is the only central service apart from IFS which gets promotions timely at the same level as all India services. Also, the work seems to be interesting with further specialisation into environmental or social audits.
What are your views?

It's a personal choice. If you like IA&AS, then it's a very good service, in my opinion. 

Both IRS IT and Customs have this "bottom heavy" issue. Customs have it for a long time. IRS IT will soon face the trouble. That's because from around 2009 (figures aren't exact) times, under Chidambaram, it was decided to increase the IRS IT intake. The logic was that, since it's a revenue generating service, more officers means more revenue. So, every year, around 100 was the intake for IRS IT. This was stopped in 2018 onwards, I think.

Now, in every government service, first two promotions happen on time. It's from JS level onwards that the crunch starts. Usually IAS become JS by 14 years, similar for IPS. For other services it's 14+2,3,4... even upto 10 years. I've heard that already now customs takes around 20 years to get JS level promotion (but I still prefer customs over IT, because I find the job thrilling). Now, since the increased intake of IRS happened around 2009, from around 2023-24, a bottleneck will appear in their JS  promotions. IRS IT guys themselves are worried about it, especially after the recent reforms, they are demanding increased deputation to compensate for the deficiencies.

I'm no expert, but if you like IA&AS, I'd definitely say it's a very good choice. Again, it's a personal choice. I don't like IRS IT(we had a two weeks combined training with them in their academy and I really hated it. The officers were pretty arrogant and the subject seemed too dry and boring. Only a few gets to take part in raids and others have to do the boring number crunching, but since they generate revenue, living and working conditions will be better in comparison). 

In comparison, IA&AS always maintained their intake steady. Their promotions are on time, Plus a lesser known thing about IA&AS is that there are many opportunities for foreign deputation, if you are good at work. Don't know the details.

NB: purely my opinion. Please do research on your own before finalising the preferences.

IRS customs mein bhi limited log mainly the DRI and enforcement people do the 'exciting' work, baaki wahan bhi number crunching aur adjudication ka hi kaam hai.

DRI me exiting work..


My room partner is in customs and they dislike such postings.. infact dri is running low on staff because no one opts for it..


It is another thing to comment from outside but completely different story when you are part of the system..

Samajhdaar logon ko aisa work hassle hi lagta hai, risky, sensitive and no fixed time schedule. Lekin jinhone is work ko closely nahi dekha unhe ye dur se ye exciting lagta hai ki smugglers se bhidenge, bahaduri ka medal jeetenge all that. Ab upar kisi ne kaha ki income tax se jyada custom achha lagta hai kyonki exciting work hai to bata diya humne DRI ka kaam. Baaki person to person temperament vary karta hai, some people crave for adrenaline rush, your roommate is perhaps not one of them.

Baaki Hank bhai aapne Audit service ko to pahle hi dhatta bata diya, Customs ko bhi aapne reject kar diya hai kuch exciting nahi hai, fir ye bataiye aap join kya karenge, IAS k neeche kisi service ko ghaas nahi daalenge, aisa lagta hai.

Bhai sab relative hai. 

Jinka mains clear nhi hua: woh mains cutoff ko sub-conciously target krtr hain jaise k 1 number se clear ho jaye toh selection ho jayega.

Jinka mains clear hua aur selection nhi hua. Woh last rank ko target krte hain. Chahe last rank wale ko AFHQS hi milta ho is rank pe.

Jinko service mil gya woh apne se upar preference wale ko target krenge aur niche preference wale ko thoda kum aakenge.

Bas lyf aise hi chalti jayegi.

Bt mere jaise log jinhone kaafi attenpt de diye without selection unke liye koi rank aa jaaye  yhi maayne rakhta hai. Ek honourable exit k liye.

Sahi kaha bro, very apt, ek UPSC par documentary ban sakti hai jiska naam hoga, "An honorable exit". Sab passion, nation service, dhara reh jata hai aakhir mein bas ego defensive function active rehta hai.

Why UPSC gave notice ?

To inform that not even 20 days between your interview and result. So, those who are confident must prepare now.

Pahle bhi first day interview walon ko 12-15 din hi milte the prep k. Ab lag raha hai ki 25th (Friday) ko result aaega, 5th March se interview start. Itna short notice par to distance criteria consider karna hoga so Delhi people may be called in first few weeks.

No result before case hearing..


Our lawyer has informed that upsc is on a Blackfoot n hence the delay in results..

In my opinion.. it will take much longer than anticipated by aspirants in the group.


By the way how many of u r aware that hunger strike is going on for extra attempts

Firstly your usrname is cent percent oxymoron and who is your 'lawyer' ? Are you one thing of the petitioners ?

Btw, what Upsc did is the very same done by Neet and Jee-adv organisers. 

If everything in this country gets politicised by doing hunger strikes..than i think it will harm serious candidates much. It happens in state pcs exams, that some छात्र netas (who were candidates in the bygone era) protest at everything. There is one Kaushal 'Sir' who berates the Uppcs each time an English medium candidate gets selected.

There will always remain some party which has been aggrieved or trying to play the victim card. If all voices be heard than there will be no justice, because everyone has got some story.

If Mains 2022 be organised from 22 Feb, some candidates may say that they got ditched on 21st Feb (breakup day), and are in no mood/mental state to write the paper...they may say that breakup hurts more than Covid and there are also no vaccines to mend it.

What a decent language used by the person who claims to have been recommended by UPSC...


Are you sure that your name was in the list..

Or was it in your dreams.. because sharing marks is like an absolute No by citing privacy issues..

A good way to display superiority here by claiming to be among toppers but actually u don't stand a chance to be in that company..


PS.. results today.. hopefully

What a bold statement by someone who was equally bold in his predictions of result date.

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 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?
