[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.

Bhai Circle and square ka Kya hoga finally ?

Does intersection means touching as tangent or having some common area ? Koi expert in geometry batadho yaar ?

@Raja123 eco liberalisation, I think it’s C ( I’ve also marked C only). While the first statement is given verbatim in the article, the second option (about investments in education and health) is mentioned but not verbatim. But the whole tone of the article points so strongly towards both statements being correct. 

Also, the article is written by a left leaning academic. So you know lol 

Aboutthe stick, I’m not sure. I’m poor at these types of questions. I marked 3.5 cm which is wrong anyways

@Sankoza yes true... even it is given in the article as it is....if you read the article shared by Aurang key  usme as it is sentence hai regarding horticulture n poverty reduction.Upsc ne as it is options me dala hai usko... verbatim 
So Answer pakka C hoga uska...
Even options B me "essential" word use Kiya hai...So options B seems extreme...

Silent observer here , frnds do mains whatever the score , it's better to study 12 hours and than cry , getting 124 in GS 1 and in csat in range (68-84) with all keys available , anxiety hits in silence  and decreases the overall day efficiency , it's easy to say  to stay focussed in mains but when individual is on border line it's requires a great strength of character to stay focussed and not distracted by self created negative propositions and asking others to satisfy ones urge to get their answers correct . Fall 999 build 1000 . That's what civil services is meant to be .

@hound  I thought for 5 minutes on the money supply question, and marked A. All m0, m1, m2, m3 flashed before my brain. And went for increase in money supply option, based on the logic that on immediate level, the amount became liquid and the person can buy an Iphone immediately with the money. In the account, it was less liquid.
Let's see how UPSC interprets it. It can go either way.

@Rambo93 Ye wala v hai bhai.
Main bol nahi raha tha, ki shanti bani rahe, aur public tension na le. Jo hona tha, wo ho gaya hai. Aur debate karke v koi fayda nahi. Non of us are experts and regardless of what we marked we have to agree to UPSC verdict on the keys.
Doesn't mean ki tension nahi hai.
Har koi jo borderline par hai, uski halaat abhi thik nhi hai.

@Harsh_capf_ac thanks.. cutoff must not cross 95 for me to be safe this year


TOUGH TO THA HI, US FACTOR SE DEKHOO TO 95 RAHEGI, PAR CORONA FACTOR NEED TO ADDED, I FACT I WAS NOT ABE TO BREATH PROPERLY, MASK UTARRNA PADAA THA, AADAT TO MOCKS DETE SAMAY BHI NAHI THI, MASK LAGAANE KI. 1 MAHINEE PEHLEE TOH LAG RAHA THA PAPER AB AGLEE SAAL HOGAA. MANY FACOTRS ARE THERE, 93 HONII CHAHIYEE, HAR BAAR 60% JANTAA HOTI THI, ISS BAR 40 %.

Are bhai let me tell you one thing, many first timers this time are scoring good, because guess work se question ho gye hai jada knowledge ki jarurat nahi padi, toh usko bhi consider karna hoga

Based on my interaction with the 1st,2nd attempter, my juniors it appears that this year was not good for them.


They usually are risk averse. If they encounter something they have never heard of they usually leave it unlike senior players. Tukkebazi, gues work, cheat, hack whatever we may call... seniors are better at it...may be at subconscious level they knew the answer.


For most new players paper was nightmare.

Bhai, mera to last attempt hai. Technically 5th considering my age. But maine to pichhle 2 prelims se kam hi mark kiya. Only because main 3rd round jaa hi nahi paaya.

@Equalizer  Then in your opinion which is the most appropriate answer for nalsa question? Transgender or senior citizen?


Transgender. Though I have marked it 1&4. 

Na bhai. Transgender nahi hoga. Senior citizen is speicifcally mentioned on NALSA website. But both Trans and Senior citizens are eligible depending on states.
So ek v poora sahi option nahi tha,
But I went with 1, 4 because I read the keyword senior citizens specifically somewhere.

Im getting 96.7 after removing preamble (marked A) and metadata (marked C). Kitna chances hain?? Someone tell

If you are following the thread, at least 7-8 questions have been marked as doubtful.

But considering you get 96.7, chances of clearing is high.

@Capedcrusader1 preamble is D . No doubt at all ; you may refer books for that. Might be sunta ma'am is giving wrong answer every year for most obvious questions to remain in news among candidates.
Metadata may get correct if you marked it as "C" as most of the coaching had given B option but none of them had given substantive explanation. As the question itself is not properly framed.

BHAIYOO PADH LO MAINS KE LIYEE, MERAA INTERVIEW HAI NOV MEIN, AT UPSC HOUSE OF CAPF AC, I HAVE FINIHED POL SCI AND PUB AD. ALREDY, KAM SE KAM AAP LOG OPTIONAL KAR LOO.

@Harsh_capf_ac aajkal el optional hota hai bhai.. do nahin 😂

i did pub ad for ethics and governance gs 2 only, even i did history optional, and geo optional also. Sab me net ya jrf hu. 

Bhai aap pichle saal forum ke DKT prateet hote ho. History geo pub ad pol science sab optional kar liye aapne. Ye superhuman abilities ka raaz humse bhi share karein.

invest 6 months on one optional, 4-5 optional hai 2  se 2.5 years lagege, gs bhi hai 2 se 2.5 yrs me inke saath cover ho jaygaa, Einestien ki relativity of time use karo, this 2-2.5 yrs can be done in 1 year, law of attration use karoo, time dialiation use karoo, twin paradox use karoo.  Ichha ho toh kya nahi hotaa.

Bhai, kindly give your supplier's no. Seems real good stuff.
