Deleted
@Purplesunbird irony is upsc is hell bent on destroying these institute 
Ever realize keys in 2-3 hours because now they will start batches and we are nothing more than batches for them or customer so thing is even if getting 80 you can't say out of race or getting more than 100 also you can't say we are in .To which source upsc has referred is tough to tell they rely on basic understanding
Places like Karol bagh has become hub of money earning for even small purpose like economic classes 
You see GDR has been mentioned not to be part of FDI and NRI deposits are but nobody (coaching)didnt even bother to check it 


So true

Have seen some people giving random statement from.their test series and saying paper was from ours .So now shall we solve all the available tests ?

Yes.

Because this way you can pick any word from the question and claim the entire question to be from your test series.


The point is coaching institutes fail terribly at simulating the pattern of UPSC.

I know this rage is temporary and it’s an every year affair. Every year tens of thousands will feel disrespected because of this exam and the sheer unfairness of it and they will have no option but to move on. However, anyone who calls this paper easy or suggests that basics or “logic” could help you clear it, please come meet me - I just wanna talk. 

All this speculation about UPSC wanting to end coachings is BS, just that. If they wanted to do so, they’d stick to books- normal traditional books that everyone whether from rural area or a metropolitan can purchase and read. They won’t be making a shit fest of this sort year after year. Sure 35-40 questions can be solved from basic sources. Assuming you make absolutely no mistake in these questions, you still have to get 10-15 questions right along with negative marking. And every year there are going to be thousands who fall on the wrong side of this gamble. I am one of them this year. I lost so many questions even in questions where I had eliminated 2 options. If it’s a game of probability then it needs special kind of badluck to have so many wrong hits. And yet I know that I am not alone. I know many people are facing exactly what I am with probably much more at stake than me. 

At the end of the day, we chose this for ourselves. But we also were told that there are going to be atleast some rules, some order to this chaos.@LetsGetThisBread ‘s daily targets literally kept me going on my worst days and I think it’s more than just unfair if they don’t end up with the desired result. Anyone who tries to preach about the pattern and approach of the exam at this point- please just don’t. Just stop. Let us grieve in peace ffs. 

Everyone else who feels lost and hopeless, there are no right combination of words that will make you feel any better. I have attached so much importance to this exam that I don’t even feel it when people tell me I am more than this exam. But a line from Kota Factory goes - “War mein haarne wale warriors hote hain, losers nahi” You all are warriors. Please take care. 

You have me! There were many questions where I eliminated two options but I landed on the wrong side :/

In the questions, I didn’t attempt, mere sab hunches sahi hain apparently :/

I am also one of them! I didn't attempt sochke ki galat na hojaye aur, parrrr sahi nikale. 

If I would have played the gamble with some more thinking and analysis, I would have scored above 100. Its a gamble lady, and I have lost ! 

Hindsight is always 20/20.

The game is to take that gamble when you are into it.

exactly. For a spectator it is easy to take wild guess. Someone who appears in exam know it that on a bad day, one wild guess and game is over 

Yes.

Even my younger brother who is not a graduate yet, guided me with atleast 5-6 questions this morning with so ease.

I was just feeling so amused at his innocence.
