[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.

I think upsc will take context of passage which were in question paper only ...if the entire article is taken into consideration the sole purpose of comprehensive analysis will go away ... I don't know what I will score in csat but this year csat comprehension will totally make chaos .... UPSC prelims is something which is biggest hurdle now

UPSC has already abandoned the concept behind RCs. Either they don't know how to frame questions or they are doing it on purpose. I got 99 percentile in my GRE verbal just in July. Answers to RCs in GRE have be based solely on the passage and nothing else. You can't assume anything. In upsc, this does not seem to be the case. It wants you to extrapolate and assume a lot of things not mentioned in RCs.

@Surajsai There is a strong possibility. SC has already requested UPSC for consideration.

@Aurang_mirasudar that's a brilliant analogy. I remember the debates on this question. And till now I was sure of AI as D. But Aurang bhai, hamesha doubts laate ho answers mein 😑😑

@rishi258 bhai my sincere request to all about RC discussion. It is most futile of all the UPSC Discussions. Over the years, especially 2018 Prelims, the RC answers of UPSC are mind blowing. CSAT mein sirf Quant and Reasoning ka count karo, and RC ko 50% correct rakho. Bas yaha pe sirf GS1 ke discussions rakho. So that it wud benefit all of us.

Preamble - D
Rakhmabai - B
Deshar katha - A
NFD - no concensus
Minister - no consensus (however as UPSC follow generalist approach..in first look option 1 is wrong....if we dont make indirect linkages which UPSC will never go into....ans will be D)
AI question most probably B (1,3 and 4 Only).......Yes paramount rule is all of the above in S&T que.....however this rule failed in few cases like Remote sensing and Digital signature.......whats strange in this que is for the first time in history , Upsc have taken the pain of inclunding these words -in present state of development/effectively...upsc has never used words like these in S&T questions and meaningful story and wireless transmission seems not so effective......as per instincts answer wont be "D". It seems like upsc wanted to make all of the above option wrong in this que.

@KGPIAN looks like you're new here and fresh out of Jnan Gosh stadium mood. All of us had extensive discussions on this thread regarding questions and official sources Ira Dube, Hindu articles  etc. AI and Rakhmabai ka chance hain, but rest would be wrong brother.

Why are people speculating 26/27 result date? Even Insights said it. They usually take a month to process Preliminary results. Why early this time? Any takes?

@Percival left jnan ghose in 2018 itself...dont assume things if you dont know...seen all research scholars here...bringing hell lot evidence to make simple questions debatable...AI and Rakmabai chance h and other wrong?? please dont make those questions debatable where concensus is reahed among coaching and students !!
