[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.

In the csat RC it is clearly written- answer it based upon the given passage. "The passage of 10 lines given in the question paper".not from the whole articles that you find from the original sources.

Upsc answers in both GS and CSAT have always been based on source passages and verbatims. Always. No exception. As a matter of rule. Whether one likes it or not.


I think it's like this :

1. Criticial inference / message / summary of the passage can be arrived and the answers given are from the RC itself. 

2. Questions in which assumptions are asked might be taken up from the article 

If you see and try to get a pattern most of the coaching institutes have different keys with assumption questions and almost 12-13 answers are not debatable with 6 keys , they are clear and same. 

Coaching keys are most of the time wrong on assumption based RC, In such questions you can't look for RC and must look article. What's the point of asking for assumption if it's explicitly mentioned in RC itself . To substantiate further Check shankar's keys in 2018 and 19 . In 2018,nine of their RC's are wrong and 6 of them are assumption based ones only.

Yes.. This is the actual pattern followed by upsc as well.. For only assumptions questions, one needs to look beyond the passage.

Haan bhai. When did dispute any of this? Assumptions mei only upsc goes for the source articles. Mera bhi score source articles ke karan 80+ se 65-71 ke beech ho gaya. I would be happy if upsc doesn't look into the source articles but to my disappointment, it always has.

@rafael I confirmed it from one of my friend IFoS posted at NSTR. After division too its largest among all.(2600-700sqkm gone to amardabad)=1900 sqkm . That is way ahead of sunderban with 1600sqkm.
But thanks for discussion over it.

Many are saying result may come next week. There was some guy here who gave correct insider info before pre. Someone can tag him and ask.

@Sramana upsc would be very happy to know that in aptitude test candidates are so poor in aptitude ; not even able to read directions given in questions properly.
