[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.

But one thing is sure that even if the CSAT is tougher, it has the potential to reduce the cut off by at max 1 mark, not more than that. Ultimately the GS paper performance will matter in reducing the cut off further.

@Equalizer i did some 34-35 maths. got 30 correct. some may be statement like that "multipication is 21" question. im counting it in maths only. rest will RC and pure reasoning ones like " how many of such number precede this number" and cat dog questions etc.


Theek hai no problem. That was only my point of view. Certainty it can be wrong. But how  more  people failing this year square with ur assertion that csat was more or less similar to last year.

@Equalizer see i cant speak for others. but one think i can tell for surety. if you dont prepare for math, you wont get even one question right there. math is not below par. i can tell. that v=2u or something question while solving i knew that i need to put 2 hours properly in this or game over. so its no surprise that ppl will fail if they take it lightly.then this year or last year wont matter if math is timetaking and proper solving required one. and if youre going RC bharose, God bless

Agreed. Just asking...more people failing or not compared to last year. I think so.

@Equalizer fair assumption to think that way. more heated discussion on RCs on all possible platforms. few i know failing right away.

@Capedcrusader1  Yes I have attempted 45 maths questions including some reasoning stuff got all 45 right , but I feel the paper is tough , rather I would say tricky too for some who don’t have any math background ... it’s easy for me because of math background and the paragraph options are not that easy to get ... my opinion csat is tougher 
got csat : 112.5 
gs : 89 feeling sad ☹️

Here's why I think it's unfair to bash CSAT paper

- I'm an engineer who sucks at maths(abomination), and all the csats I've cleared without even practicing one question before prelims.

- most of the maths questions are not just easy, they're trivial. Compare it to any state pcs ,or even SSC/bank exam- khatarnaak hota hai maths waha

- you need 1/3rd to sail through, so if you're weak I'm sure you knew that before the exam. You just needed to attempt strategically.

Unfortunately people take CSAT on ego, even the ones who might have qualified end up attempting way more than they need to, & more often than not pay the price.

- Reading comprehension has got Hindi translation too, so where's the discrimination?

I attempt 40-45 questions at leisurely pace, having fun because I know you need to get just 33%.If you're not able to get that, I'm sorry but that means you need to build on your aptitude.

Yeah, they must have some source. They normally do not predict result date.

@Equalizer bhai but last year also csat was equally tough. Don't you think so? 


No. This year was tougher believe me. I can definitely analyse csat better. Never calculated marks in csat. Got 140 in 2016, 133 in 2017, 126 in 2019. But seeing so mant failing I too calculated my marks this year. Getting only 112. I am not representative but this is case with many of my friends who used to score heavily but getting only 100 this year. This year maths were also tricky. So definitely this year was tougher.

funny. i found maths easy this year. i did find RC options a bit tough


vry true.....nd overall I think CSAT was easier thn last year

May be u r right. But don't u think more people failing this year in csat. How u explain this.

I am noticing since last 6 years tht evry year people says this time more people are failing in csat and in 2016-17 I got 100+ easily tht time also no. of people said csat was very tough..... beleive me there is no. of fake people who jst to shw off says I am clearing in paper 1 but csat ruined it ....less thn 1% people who are passing in 1st papr nd failing in 2nd papr so i think this not a major factor in deciding the cut off.....
