I read all the comments last year also but did not comment anything because I was naive back then...just beginning my journey into UPSC...
But since last year October to yesterday, I tried my level best. Have more than 120 mocks of vision, Forum, GSSCORE, OnlyIAS, NextIAS and what not . No day in last year I spent without studying 6 hours daily.(I'm a working professional)
Last year, I was getting around 88-95 from different answer keys but didnt clear prelims. As I opted for IFoS also last year so not even know what my actual score of last year is.
And now. Here I'm again. After a year of hardwork and doing everything I could possibly do, I'm getting 86.67 in most optimistic scenario. I'm from general category just because I choose to have a job to help my family overwise I would be EWS as my all family income and other criteria is very much at lower middle class level. I'm at my lowest right now.
It's easy to say that try next year and all that cherishable stuff, but I literally left no stone unturned this time. I even got 137 marks in NextIAS Anubhav All India test series had been under top 100 in my test series...but this time I'm literally heartbroken like hell...
See, prelims is no longer a matter of doing your basics well, reading and practicing. It is a PLAIN GAME OF LUCK. I am not denying the utility of essential material/Test Series/CAs magazines but it can only bring you closer to cutoff. For sailing through you need LUCK. You did your Karma, result is not in your hand. I know so many aspirants who are very capable but could not get a chance to write Mains due to this Prelims GAMBLE. To second you, my score in previous attempts have been 96, 95, 145, 90s(2021). So barring 145, scores have not improved. I call it GAMBLE! So my dear friend, just accept the gamble and move on. You are not alone!
The question clearly mentions the river which joins Indus. Chenab also seems correct if the other 3 are joining it, but it doesn't meet Indus. After CHenab and Satluj joins it is called Panjnad technically but is considered to be Satluj. I have marked Satluj but having alot of doubts regarding this.What should be the answer of Indus river wala question?
In ncert, Sutlej is clearly drawn in map but coaching walas giving chenab as answer.

Take a break people! I think this really helps, I was so so sad yesterday, after which I went for dinner with family, some shopping and today planned a self-care session, cooking ( my hobby), talking with grandparents and friends and many more things.
I feel much better today and from tomarrow back in the game for some other exams which are lined up! Take care you people. Maybe I would post some khane ke pictures for all of you, which you all can drool over.
Please give us food pictures

Lil easy to say when it was your first attempt. Not so when you're into second or third.
I felt the same like you previous year. Not so this year post exam.
Irrespective of the attempt, don’t see what fretting will bring now that the paper is done.
This one and the magnetite question ...coachings are wrong
right to city 2,3
and magnetite will be 1,2,4 (no where could see telephone wires giving out it..)
crossposting as all coachings have bad keys
can verify same from final key upsc wala
rest it was very random exam..so expect cutoffs to dip further
keep studying..ATB
Right to city is 2 and 3, right?
But I searched, right to city is somewhat related to UN habitat tho
