@sathooriaravind I haven't also got a concrete answer as to how weight of lid matters.....however, i was sure that temp of flame does not matter and that eliminated the weight of lid option......

@vijayvec08615749 74 is very safe this year, last year it was 73 I think, this year's paper was tougher, also many are claiming even CSAT was tougher! I won't be surprised if SC cut off goes below 70, General would be just below 90 IMHO, somewhere like 88-89!

Is anyone planning to start with mains after a day or two considering only 80 days are left?

Me. Today and tomorrow I'm just going through various topper strategies + previous years Mains thread here on forum. 

From Thursday, I'll start proper prep. Atleast that's my plan till now.

@king_Attila What do you attribute this to? Silly mistakes or you couldn't genuinely do them? A lot of people I know are saying the same they are having a marks difference of 15-20 vis-a-vis last year. At this rate, I won't be surprised with the cut-off going below 85! My humble assessment after talking to a lot of people is you are safe! I am dead sure cut-off is going below 90!

Sutlej receives the collective drainage of Ravi, Chenab and Jhelum and joins the Indus


This should settle the issue. Examiner asks questions from standard sources and not Google maps,indus water treaty legal document or pakistani websites.

Ha, every domain expert see their subject ka question and see, "Chii, yeh toh I would solve in sleep also".

I can bet that UPSC only frame questions not answers. Answers are taken from this platform by UPSC as all of us are providing every detail of each answer. UPSC wale definitely will take these answers in its official key. Please keep surgering all the questions till final conclusion before d day. 😂😂😂😂
