[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.


@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.

Still, some people are hell-bent on 3rd Oct. For them upsc is all about people living in metro cities.

@anuja_dm252280 but there are many centres nearby as compared to Delhi. You could have chosen Jammu, Srinagar, Samba etc.

wont say surprized but relatively felt poor for humanity. saw a post in this group that some ppl started a petition for exam not to be postponed. this is the reality of ppl how rotten their mentality is and what they will do after becoming IAS.

daily a thousand odd ppl are dieing out of no reason. govt was forced to open up because of economic conditions. 
but these ppl are like 'let the ppr happen on time and we will get the benefit because many of ppl wont appear in exam because of this corona and we will take big advantage out of it.'

not againt anybody, azad desh ke azad nagrik,  but in all this humanity is dieing. :(

P.S. I think this way.

What i have seen is people make this exam larger than life , many consider it the most important exam in the country /in their life... etc .


This effectively blinds many from many things  and has also narrowed their perspective in many ways ,


Why do people want this exam to be postponed ? 

¥ The only thing the pandemic has taught humanity is that we lack understanding about it on how it spreads , body's immunological response to it , and long term effects on our body....etc

¥ Safety of oneself and their family . Most have aged parents and india is the capital on diabetes , BP...etc . so statistically many of our parents will be suffering from it and are more susceptible to developing complications if affected by it.

¥ People just talk from their perspective , there are many poor aspirants , for them even attending exam in normal time is hard as they have to travel to city , stay there , forgo that day's earnings...etc . 

¥ Many aspirants are covid warriors who have little to no time to prepare , its unfair to punishment them for their service to humanity . As most are serious aspirants too and should have a fair attempt as anybody else.


there are still many personalised reason for each one according to their own circumstances .

Any serious upsc aspirant will know more time to this exam doesn't make this exam any easier or harder . 

So yeah you can take a car or get a bike or have prepared well...etc but it applies only to you and there are many who are suffering and will suffer if the exam is to be conducted.


ps: 

I want exam to be postponed if the situation does not improve (it has not till now) . Not because i want it to but its not fair for other . i always get my center in 10km radius from my home , i go in a car , the centre is not populated much generally as it is in a less populated city...etc . And im a vetran aspirant who has cleared prelims 4 times(mains is a different story😂) so no problem in clearing it again as im well prepared .What i have is the best case scenario for an aspirant but im aware than many don't . So its not fair to them.


Peace ✌️😎

@Divine Shakti

that will take 2 days via road. And, by air its always more than 10k for single way.

Nearest is Srinagar and Jammu. Which is always on risky side. And it takes 2days to reach Jammu, and more than 24 hours to Srinagar that to only via road. Airfare for both is always more than 10k rs for one way.

I also think so, we all are so called intellectual people, and here people are arguing over the exam to be conducted. Do you know abt the consequences??? What good will it do??? The country is already suffering from GDP, even if the exam is conducted, how many will appear for the exam??? Have you all forgot the recent Kerala state exams where two aspirants were tested positive, do we know their aftermath??? You all are talking like this even if you know about the risk factors and the rapid hike in the cases, we still are not anywhere near the peak. Have some common sense and analyze the situation.

@curiouscse Bhai u need to take rest. Seriously the way you think is dangerous to your own self. 

I want to help you with sm facts-

upsc is not a mass recruitment exam to employ unemployed youths..I know thousands of selected and thousands of ppl still preparing for this exam since last many years,,but I yet to find a person who is desperate for a job but want only UPSC posts. All the guys who cleared it or cleared atleast prelims become jobless because of their choice ,,not because they don't have any choice. So,if someone is so desperate for a job he would hv to look for other options but not UPSC CSE.not because cse is tough exam or anything but it's more unpredictable than swinging moods of a girl. After a threshold knowledge nd writing skills it's pure luck.so just relax and enjoy urself.

Few want postponement because they value their life much more than an exam,if you still think covid19 is just a joke then god helps u. Nothing will change,as per medical nd govt experts till late december..Govt only priority is to stop reaching a point where total collapse of health infra will take place.. Flattening the curve..Crowd km krna..Jobs economy sb kuchh baad me aa jaayegaa..Jaan nhi bhi gya corona se to lungs to zarur affect hoga na bhai..nya healthy Lungs koi exam clear krke nhi milegaa kahi se kisi ko..ho skta hai jo petition initiate kiya ho wo khud 4 baar se prelims clear kr rha ho..So it's not about level of preparation but about once own concern for health nothing else.

Waise exam 4 oct ko hi hoga aap padho..but load na lo itna..Warm hugs.

Most of the institutes were predicting cut off to be more than 100, some even said 103-104

For eg, Clear Ias prediction 


  • General Category – 105 ±2
  • EWS – 104 ±2
  • OBC – 103 ±2
  • SC – 93 ±2
  • ST – 93 ±2

Ews cutoff is mind boggling, perhaps because of the EWS certificate issue
