If possible, can you please share that page or tell me in which class book it is given ? 



This is from business studies ncert class 11/12th

Still I believe opt 2(as given by all coachings) will be more appropriate answer

The question asks about property rights of women. Mitakshara does give some property rights to women, though it does not give coparcenary rights to women.

I really don't know why/how UPSC comes up with questions like these

@morty In 2020 prelims , I got 104 according to vision ,but according to upsc it’s 94 ….2 questions got deleted but marks were normalized 

Who said 2 qstns got deleted?it's just that coaching keys were wrong

@morty yes that's true but this year don't think it will cross 95. Not many students are crossing 100 this time


It won't cross 85(upsc key)

Why can't it be that coaching keys were wrong in some qstn.there is no chance for upsc to discount 2 qstns cause none of the qstns were wrong in 2020.

@assistant in how many days the result was declared last year? How much are you scoring?

@bhuvanamalar1015412 last year I was expecting 86 as per vision. Got 84.. everyone was saying cutoff won't cross 95. But people who scored 106 didn't qualify. That's why I am fearing this year
 People say 90 but who knows it might go 100 as per coaching key obviously

These will be the cutoffs. His predictions are almost true.

@bhuvanamalar1015412 because the marks were in .52 as per cutoff which is impossible without deleting questions. CDM was deleted because of wrong translation, this time also palm oil translation is wrong.

I've heard last year too people were talking about how tough the prelims paper 1 was, and speculated cutoff to be 90 plus minus 2. But in the end, it was on a higher side (if we consider 1-2 qns were removed). So how true are these discussions and predictions by the institutes.

Also, are people really seeing a drop of 15-20 marks as compared to their last year's marks?

I am so confused what to believe and what not to. Are there people who are scoring really good marks and keeping silence? (I hope this isn't true :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:)

Obviously things will be a bit clear once the result is out. But can someone with a little experience give his/her views on this?

For your second point, i suppose both are True! Some ppl are scoring 15 to 20 marks lesser (as per this thread) and some are easily scoring 100+ (as per poll) 

100 according to coaching keys.last year everyone was scoring beyond 100 but cutoff was 92.only those who get above 85 are participating in polls.its unreliable

@bhuvanamalar1015412 people in my friend circle have had worse performance than the last year. Everybody in the range of 85-95 although most of them were 100+ last year. So let’s see which direction the wind blows.
