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.
In the 2019 paper, there are 14 assumption based RCs out of 30, please show me any two RCs which could not have been answered correctly on the basis of the given passage. Even if the assumptions have been lifted directly from the original article, they can still be answered based on the passage if one thinks logically. There may be an error in one or two questions. I attempted all the RCs in 2019 and out of assumption based only 1 went wrong (the food varieties one) as per official UPSC key.
There is no need of getting scared of RCs and indulging in overthinking and guessing what might have been written in the original article in future CSAT exams. Choose the option which you find correct based on the passage. If you think logically, at the max 1 or 2 will go wrong.
Cheers!
