Is not being able to attempt 1-2 questions because you have absolutely no idea of what it is, a phenomenon specific to geography optional or is it the same across the board?

Thread kaafi shaant sa ho gya hai. I hope everyone is fine from any post-exam covid symptoms.

By the way, how are you guys spending time??

Also watched a complete ODI game after ages and guess what…we didn’t even win 🥲

Lol. Same.
What has happened to middle order !!!
Keeps collapsing


Idk man 😭😭 its all over 90s again

Koi counter attack krne wala hi nhi h. Sudden 2 wickets nd ye rone lgte h. 

Perhaps for the first time,Koi stable middle order hi nhi h. Har series m naye log utha k le aate h middle order k liye.

My take - India's top3 has been so dominant since 2015 that nobody has been able to settle down in that role since. And we had Dhoni holding up a position till 2019.

Impact of digital technology as reliable source of input for rational decision making is a debatable issue. Critically evaluate with suitable example. 


How you attempted it in such haste. It says impact being debated. And, then puts critically evaluate and examples too in question header. 

Which paper did this question come in? 😂 I don't even remember writing an answer for a question like this fml

Retrospectively, I think I'm being too hard on my self. We wrote ~110 answers and hundreds of mock answers before that. Just about having 7/11 minutes to think of a question and absolutely no time to go back to think about a question after one test is over. Pretty natural imo 😂 especially general questions.

As a first timer, it's so much more difficult for me to evaluate my performance in the mains because I have absolutely no benchmark to evaluate my performance.

At this point I would be equally surprised if I do/don't find my name in the mains qualifying list.



I just have absolutely no idea what to expect and trying my absolute best to not get overwhelmed by the expectation anxiety 😛

Ps. Way too many 'absolutely' in this comment

@Declared_Dead which analysis will you suggest?


If you are English medium candidate then go through byjus daily the Hindu analysis...

It's remarkable..

I am not suggesting to join any byjus course.. daily editorial analysis and daily current affairs quiz is enough..

They are doing it since last 2-3 years.. I wish I had followed it earlier.. may be the score would have improved a lot.. but it is better late than never..


PS.. now they have started daily editorial analysis for hindi medium students as well ..




+1 Highly recommend Byjus' daily news analysis

How have you guys interpreted "The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world."? Motherhood and nurturing the child or women empowerment in general?

I wrote about women empowerment. But focussing on "rule the world". So my essay talks about powerful women in different walks of life and different dimensions to that.

Retrospectively sound really really silly considering how most people have interpreted it. Could very easily be my undoing in this cycle unfortunately ://
