[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.

@bluesky being very specific, most of institutes have given b only, but i guess vajiram has given both, evry institute just saw only word and have made it incorrect statement, but still I feel only word is correct as we have to stick to passage only and can't have authority to think beyond that. Passage have revolved around money lacking issue only. And even said that if local bodies were rich enough then problem is solved as rest things can be managed. So i still believe that a is also correct.

@Daarubaaj  you are right! Wt I could see that most of them have given the answer to the passages based on the newspaper title from where the passages were picked..But that is a larger scenario..In passages we strictly have to stick and comprehend from wtt is given there and not think even anything beyond unless specified..so I feel answers of upsc vl vary

@Navya yeah... Even in user charging fees, I feel answer should be b only... Logical is that answer should be A but what I have learned in past by giving cat and gre, that we must not assume ourselves in passage apart from whatever written  and as user fees word is not even mentioned in paragraph and that is a fact, it should be mentioned. Though I have marked A there. But I know it's wrong. Though B part says about inefficiecy which is also weired but we have to stick to words that are mentioned in para, even it sounds little bottle incorrxt

@Daarubaaj But it is given indirectly in the first line that for sustainable delivery of water is not possible unless some financing mechanism are put in place..so I feel answer A is right

@Navya yeah true, but user charging word not mentioned, this has happened to me in past as well. This method of charging is not mentioned on para, that's why I said. We shouldn't assume any new word, we have search those statements which have general words link only to para.

Rich cities can ensure sustainable delivery of water free of cost without user charge.

However cities which are not rich can also deliver water in a sustainable manner. For this they will have to charge the users.

So both rich cities and those not rich deliver water sustainability albeit through mechanism. It's there in the paragraph.

For so great exam people had, forum this season has garnered prolly the least traction in the last 5 years. Those who have been in forum since they started taking baby steps for upsc would know. Also for the first time I am seeing people so concerned about paper 2 , literally on every page we are seeing paper 2 discussion

Maybe sabka gs paper 1 achcha gaya ho... In insights poll it is showing 2k people getting 110+

@Equalizer brother  cities rich means that urban local bodies are also rich . And cities which are not rich have to become rich by charging usee fees. So Only richness can provide delivery. General sense mein eako le, Etna deep koi nahin soch ke karta hai and vo bhi passage. Technical ban rahe ho aap

Good luck believing those polls. 

If you were here, you would have known how jostling the forum used to be in 2016 2017 when 110 scores were commonplace. In 2018 19 too when 100s were common forum used to be far far more active.

May be u r correct. This is what I understood. May be I am wrong. When cities which charges its users it does not necessarily become rich...
