@Sopranos Even though I agree with you on principle, that possibility of litigation arises due to vague, not well thought out questions most of the time! What's more nauseating is that for the same language they would sometimes consider the edge cases and sometimes not. If you are going to recruit all officers of the topmost bureaucracy of the country through a single exam, better be neat! You would almost never see this kind of ambiguity in IIT JEE because they take great care in setting the questions. Everybody has the right to know where they went wrong. It's ridiculous to have to wait for 1 year to get closure. This time I used whitener, and my case is pretty borderline, if I don't make it, I have to wait almost 1 year to know what actually went wrong!

Is anyone planning to start with mains after a day or two considering only 80 days are left?
I am planning to start from tomorrow itself. Somehow I feel so lonely right now.. Need some study buddies... I want to post daily targets for mains etc. etc...
Let's revive the 2021 daily thread in the coming days.... Whenever we start...

I will hopefully post my daily targets from tomorrow onwards. Really looking forward to see some crowd there.. People on forum have been a huge source of motivation for me..
Otherwise, I will have to barge in the 2022 thread.. Can't do without my peers here.

Irrespective of the result, I would suggest you to barge into 2022 thread, imo half the crowd here and half there would break the group we have created, you could post your stuff there and talk about general things.

And irrespective of the result many of us might get , we might all prepare for mains only till dec/jan.

Btw, do you guys have any idea on how many questions were removed from consideration in last year's paper? People are saying the low cutoff is due to that.
