[ Official ] How was the Prelims 2021 paper?
How was the paper guys ?
Snow_Leopard_,
@jignesh regarding pressure cooker i would say that cooking temp does not depend upon temp of flame....understand it like this.....water in an open container boils at 100 celsius at mean sea level how so ever hot the flame is....when inside cooker the same water will boil at more than 100 celsius due to pressure inside the cooker and not due to flame temp.....which will eventually cook the food....so it certainly cannot be temp of flame.....whereas weight of lid would contribute additional pressure apart from atmospheric pressure thus affecting the temp at which food is cooked.....my two cents
temperature of the flame is obviously wrong. once you eliminate that you'll get the answer
Fulcrum,sleeplessnights89it is certainly visible
.
@Aurang_mirasudar 2014 i guess, ditto repeat, virus is not in official answer key
It's 2013. There the option was "Viruses can be cultured in any synthetic medium"
Here, it just asks if it can be cultured, which it can be. Viral cultures are available
Same statements are there in both papers. Upsc official keys in 2013 says virus can not be cultured in Synthetic medium. I too got this wrong. I marked All but it is wrong.
jignesh,

I'm with you...your this stance can help me reach upto 90 mark...(most optimistic scenario).
@Aurang_mirasudar The article you posted itself writes "Stove" in homes, and it is option 3 and hence only choice is 12345....
Fire Stove..not microwave stove
And for everyone of you who are on the margin...just want to quote a fierce quote of Les Brown from Goalcost video.
It's better to be prepared for an opportunity and not have one; rather than having an opportunity and not being prepared.
So don't want next 20 crucial days. Take rest for 2-3 days and start preparing for mains...
Iss saal nhi to agle saal dena hi hi...(saying this hurts like hell. But it is what it is).
Trashbird,@Thomas__Shelby what is the margin?
Are you asking my score?
I'm getting 86.67 marks(53 correct, 29 incorrect).
But if that virus synthetic comes correct and that pressure cooker comes 1 and 3 only; then I might up getting 92 marks.( Again it's optimistic scenario)
But I'm sure about one thing as I have prelims last time also, that paper was on tougher side this year as compared to last year.
( My friend who gave interview last year got 112 last year's prelims and now getting same as me...87)
@Thomas__Shelby Sure, your score. And what is the margin i.e relatively safe score in your opinion?
According to me 88-93 might be probable range...( As most of my friends (4) who have written mains multiple times are getting the score in the range 80-90(the reason for this much deviation is 4-5 questions are doubtful in every answer key or whether you search on google)).
plmokn25688524,viveknj129165plmokn25688524,@Thomas__Shelby I wish you luck my friend. I am keeping both negative for me irrespective of how they turn out to be
How much are you getting?
plmokn25688524,Man..
That's a good score...you should start preparing for mains.... don't waste time...my humble advice....
Just for the sake of joke.
You name itself making you vulnerable for the uncertainty of the prelims.(snow leopard-IUCN vulnerable)
Be like Thomas Shelby...take risks...( If you have seen peaky blinders)😉
