Half an hour into the exam, I got up went out and had a glass of water. Never in my life have I had such a reaction in exam that my mouth will go dry due to sheer stress. And that stress was due to the nature of questions. After eliminating 1 option, I used to get stuck. Then eliminated one more and then got stuck again. This was a common occurrence throughout those whole 2 hour. This was the exact opposite of what happened last year when if I eliminated one option in most of the questions I could safely conclude the answer. 

It was a nightmare.

Some students are not even in position to believe that  cutoff might go down to Mineral level  (Lowest).

85-86 marks seem very low to them? LOL.... how come 85-86 is too low?  We arehuman, not super human

Scoring   85 marks (With official keys)   is/was not at all easy task in this year paper.

You guys are justoverestimating other's abilityandunderestimating yours. 

Toh  mindset  change karo bhaaii logon--->  85-86 bhi bahot jyaada hain  considering all factors. Its  not too low bro.

@sleeplessnights89 are u looking for translator as a backup job with failing experiences in  upsc.?


i remember when I went to live in MN, for an year, i wanted half sugar tea and google translate would tell me aadha cheeni, and the tea seller will give wierd looks,lol translator job bhi achha hai, but with Google!!

its good for fun, but still 'failing experience' is too much if a word is to be used, i went up to interview in 2015 and left for Master's in CS from a reputed institution (top 100 in the world, ranked better than IITs!)...didn't take up jobs abroad for personal reasons!......failed to notice the connotation in which you have meant, so felt like replying again!

Please tell me is there a possibility that upsc can give multiple options as correct in gs paper 2 prelims exam??

No. 


In 2012-14 papers there used to be a section that was kind of like ethics with multiple scenarios presented and you had to pick which one you would do. Those had more than one option as correct and if I remember correctly also no negative marking. Those have since been removed.

@Neyawn and@root please take notice of the fact that one user here@sunnyleony has uploaded the FAKE pdf purely for entertainment purpose. It is our years of hardwork and lakhs of money that get discounted for a time being due to such shameful acts.
