Can anyone suggest telegram groups where discussion and deliberation on questions as well as cut off discussions are going on? 


Thank you.

This time I feel more clueless. Seems like enthusiasm and fervour displayed by serious and relatively less serious aspirants has gone down substantially because lot of discussion used to happen here. Somehow coaching answer keys par trust nai hota. Last year I was scoring csat 61 but cleared prelims. 


Question like gdr, nre (non resident external) account/ deposit which are by nature fully Repatriable should make answer 2 and 4. But coaching says 123.

Copper smelting mein 1st mein "may" use kiya hain. Chances are even one possible case makes it right. Such statement have a history of being right. But again coaching says its wrong. 

Discussions would help. 

Written 3 mains. Including last year.

kebt108.pdf (ncert.nic.in) This is what UPSC is going to use. It says only mother, no father

What about 1 statement of the question. Is it possible that "after" fertilization mrt or spindle can be done? 

Please shed some light on it.

Will start preparing for mains though lowest score is 84 from vision 

But having economics as my optional and postgraduation subject I can say questions were not so saliable as few ones like lender of the last resort in which both govt and banks seems probable,along with it I got both RBI and UCB wrong so saying it was easy is unfair heat of the moment you can get easiest question wrong but nonetheless it was not easy all application based 

One question on FDI I which I got stucked for the moment was FDI component have never heard GDR being part of it neither RBI data shows but then keys of the institutes are ultimate .

Personally I feel I should prepare as hunting for many keys is so mentally pressurizing better position this year have option of pHD as well.

All the best 

Work hard . 

See this regarding, fdi question

https://www.livemint.com/news/india/dpiit-clarifies-on-fdi-status-of-nri-investments-11616163597415.html

Non resident external account/deposit (NRE) which are fully repatriable comes under FDI. Non repatriable comes under domestic. 

Abb kya bolun, disappointed. Marked it wrong. Then there are so many people scoring 100.

@shaanu4595684 the key term in this article is non debt investment, nre external deposit is repatriable DEBT instrument. I also marked 2 and 4 but unfortunately its the wrong answer 


Dr sahab, debt creating flows, if you can please elaborate. Gdr bhi debt creating hote hain. Fccb bhi but they can be converted.

@AureliusM exactly. Lid weight wont matter cos the sealing of lid is different from normal cooking pots as there is a buckle to be locked along with the handle and force is exerted upwards due to this.


Pre ka result aane tk prestige aur Hawkins pressure cooker companies ke competitors iss group se taiyar ho jaenge.

Koi diagram bana kr dikha raha hai,koi cooker ka har ek part dissect krke dikha raha hai.

Chahe upsc ko pressure cooker kyu na bhej do,vo log vohi ans manenge jo uss book/material me likha hoga jaha se ques uthaya hai.

So, What is the consensus regarding this question. This question feels like AI waala question last year ka.

Do we know AI wale ka answer ?

Not yet 

10 months baad hi pta chlega 


What about copper smelting? Use of word "may" In first option made me think 10 times. Now coaching says something different. Elimination approach se toh all hi hona chaiye. Now there is all sorts of arguments coming up, trying to negate it.

I consider 9 Q as doubtful and considered wrong during my score calculation (Then after my score around ~92)

1. State Defn (I marked B)

2. Parliamentary democracy based on the British model (Marked A)

3. Discretionary power in the matter of application of law violates (Marked Art 32)

4. All casual workers are entitled for Employees Provident Fund Coverage (Marked B)

5. Copper smelting plants (Marked D)

6. Magnetite particles (Marked D)

7. Montagu-Chelmsford Reforms of 1919 (Marked D)

8. Nizamat of Arcot (Marked B)

9. Pressure cooker (Marked C)

How many can be correct out of 9.... Please help me out 

How many people like you are scoring 90 above by marking these as wrong. If there is a good number of persons, then cut off will be higher this year.

 what does review revision mean. If it's true, does it mean it was more ambiguous than 2020 and that they have to deliberate with their might and mind.
