was accidently binging on student responses after the UPSC exam (mainly GS1) due to stupid youtube recc. But i noticed most students felt the paper was easy or at best moderate and definitely easier than last year. Personally, I was blank after the exam as i thought it all depends on how my guesses went and definitely would not classify the paper as easy just because 5-10 questions were easy/repeated from last year. Just wondering how others felt immediately after the exam. I know it does not matter now anyways, but i have time to kill.

paper is easy for only those candidates who are under prepared or giving exam just to get exam wala feel. They just see some words and come to conclusion that paper was easy. They think that had they prepared they must have qualified. Ex They will just see definition of state has been asked .. OMG so easy. Direct from NCERT. They will just see words like mitochondria virus national park etc and say that paper was easy as they have heard few words. So don't take review of such candidates seriously.

@prachimalik1121311 I have seen your posts on this question before as well. May be the answer is D (all of the above). But as far as answer keys are concerned, almost all of them are united with Bacteria and Fungi as answer, excluding Virus. 

There might be research going on, the interpretation of synthetic media for UPSC, coachings and researchers might vary. I dont know much about this topic.

Though I have marked D and I will be happy if they count virus (D as answer). For marks calculation I am considering it negative for now.
