[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.

Any updates on today's case on final year exams ?

Supreme Court grants time to SG Mehta to file response to Affidavits filed by Maharashtra and Delhi. SG to also state if DM Act overrides notification by UGC. SC to hear the case on August 14



@Katy_Singh 


initially i was confused that yeh SG Mehta kaun aya hai (i thought sg mehta is some name ) later i relaized ohhh its solicitor general mehta

Very little Chance of Prelims on 4th Oct.

An exam taking place at 100 odd centres across the nation- when public transportation is not fully restored, hotels not fully open, Lockdown not fully lifted at so many places- is unthinkable. I am not even considering moral, health and social hazard before the officials who have to conduct the exam.

All said, NDA exam on 6Sept will act as a huge template IF it goes through well without any negative news/incident/fiasco.
Supreme court decision on NEET/JEE will also be worth watching but I guess they will postpone the judgement yet again.

PS: I wonder there is no online petition running to postpone these exams. Even one aspirant's death caused in such process is not worth the whole process. Not to forget, there are 10000s of such aspirants with compromised immunity, special needs, medically illness while many many others are in not so great health and shape.

Latest research is showing long term impact of Covid19 on neurological and respiratory systems of many inflected people. This virus is no joke!

So many species throughout earth's history have fallen prey to such organisms and went extinct. Are "Humans, the wise" really f****g stupid?


Strange times we living in, strange dilemmas we facing up.

Maybe UPSC is thinking of using Vande Bharat planes to ferry students from their villages or small towns to the Centres so they can write an examination.

If those planes won't suffice, they may rope in IAF's C130Js, C17 Globemasters, the new Rafales and few Chinooks here and there so that every aspirant reaches centre on time.

For staying overnight, Indian Army will be roped in to create tent cities nearby every big City with Prelims Centre.

For fooding of those 5-6lakh aspirants, NGOs will be roped in.

Strange times need strange measures.
Anything is possible!

Dont only read theory ki trains bnd h bhaiyo buses chal thi h full swing me..chk out in your states.

@curiouscse True, bar an even more extraordinary situation, the exam shall be on time. Those in denial should either skip it or risk wasting time over idle speculation. They may consider giving an extra attempt perhaps, but exams are on now.

In my state, Buses- public or private- are running in very low volume (say, at 20-30% of the original). Last mile connectivity options- cabs are running very less. Autos almost non-existent on roads.
Hotels are serving as isolation centres, others closed.

@Katy_Singh Not every one of them would stay alive or in good health to protest after writing the exam.

That's the bitter fact.

@curiouscse Bhai intrastate travel is still highly restricted in Maharashtra. There are no state transport buses running between districts. Private travel also require permit to go from one district to another. Rail travel inside the state or between the districts is not allowed.

The situation is definitely not safe or conducive to conduct the exam on 4th October 2020, but having said that, the government seems be in it's usual callous attitude about this and most probably exam will happen on time. The actions indicate that it has given up on the pandemic and it's just about lowering numbers now. It's clearly going for herd immunity and national level exams in the middle of the pandemic seems to suit it's exit plan.
