[ Official ] How was the Prelims 2021 paper?

75-77 from upsc key

Ab as a generalist mujhe ye samjh aaya.

temperature inside pressure cooker is dependent on steam, steam is dependent on pressure.

verbatim of question and this text points to d as answer. 

May be wrong aa i scored only 50% in boards in science 😂😂

Lets laugh on coaching answer keys 😂😂

Bhai ‘ may’ be use hua hai waha.. jab co poisoning is happening it may be lethal or may not be lethal.. 

U wont get a single text where it says co poisoning from copper smelting plants will absolutely not be lethal.

All burning is a potential source of CO. Even the household chuhla is. Does not make it capable of releasing lethal quantities into the environment. That will take the entire copper plant going up in flames or something along that lines. Does not seem practical

Also, the question wording was like - Why is there a concern regarding. Releasing lethal quantities of CO into env is not a specific concern regarding copper smelting plants. Seems to me that UPSC is aksing "hey, did you read the news report regarding copper plants?"

this article is regarding job hazards. Not the same as environmental pollution

Try to understand- coachings are in no mood to be wrong in science and tech, and other such questions 

that's why they are trying not to have "All of the above" in their answers. 

They are still in shock about last year's cutoff. (removal of questions and all)

I think this time Some keys are going to be more nearer to UPSC keys.

Also UPSC wasn't that great about framing questions, adding may, all, only, are only complicates things. In factual questions also UPSC did blunders.

We have now only one week, then those who will get through, won't bother looking at these questions. And for those who won't find their roll no. these won't matter either. After 9-10 months we will see UPSC's answer keys and accept those answers for future references, that's it. 

The scenario where majority is considering themselves at border is haunting one. Everything depends upon luck. 

The same thing happens at mains and interview level but we can't judge that as those are already subjective in character. 

only thing I wanted to convey was don't get disheartened if you don't clear pre. You gave your all, after that if it relies on luck then let it be. 2nd/ 3rd attempters, do find backups, don't think about having next pre in 7-8 months. 

Just find backups, if you clear next pre then take leave. 

I too am at border and don't like this scenario in any way. And going by trend accepted already that while finding roll no. i will see no results. If reverse happens will find myself lucky one.

All the best for results

Edit:  Forgot to add about CSAT, RC aren't about passages they are about sources. Also maths is getting tougher and tougher. 

 if Q can be cancelled(as claimed by some over 2020),do you guys think pressure cooker one will most likely be coz its a misprint(weight of lid instead of weight on lid) ? Otherwise, it'll be 1 and 2. I dont think it can be 1,2,3 due to the misprint.
