[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.

More unfortunate is we tell our parents probably we would clear by seeing the predictions that 85+ start preparing ..And then at the same time we end up hurting ourselves and our parents 

Then would get few calls ohh you didn't clear you were scoring good ohh you were a bright folk in school and college days and still stuck like this.So called friends ask cleared ?and when replied no they just block or don't reply 

Havent studied from the date gave prelims checking this key that key this video that video better to score good and relaxe 

If your frnds ... block you when u say no .


Then believe me .. You have no frnds. .. they are just the people who claim to be frnd or u thought u r frnd.  

A frnd in need is frnd indeed.. and if it is otherwise .. than that person can he anything but not FRND.

@prachimalik1121311 Worst is that we never understand what consequences this stress would have on our health already living in highly polluted environment.
What chronic disease may hit us in near future nobody knows if we keep hurting ourselves like this 


Just take failure as part of life. World is imperfect and so we are. Kabhi kabhi sab sahi nahi hota hai. Be pragmatic and .. Focus on next and forget the result. 

Mera bhi nahi hua .. 2019 and 2020 .  Paid lot of cost, left job twice in last 5 years ... handled lot of financial, personal and familial problems and all .......  but things didnt worked out. ... so what ... ab hai to hai. I Cant go back in past and change the stuff that .. I could have done this or that etc etc.  Few mistakes were made ... few of the time luck just crashed on edge of selection by merely 9 marks in 2018 finals. .. Ab kya kare !! 

The only way is the .... way forward.  Shed the burden of not coming in list and move to next attempt(only 7 months away) or anything next you may decide.

I’ll share some words about my failure this time. And will be open about the mistakes I made. Hope it helps. So that no one does these.

1: attempted less(79). To be safe one needs 110 taki prelims se mains tak is siyape me na pade.

2: I’ve made mistakes the punishment for which would have been death sentence in medieval ages. (Welfare state, Bangladesh trade, parliament form of govt, I thought exec is resp to LS and not parliament, Marx Gandhi )

3: my attitude while giving the pre. After sometime around 1:30 mins, I m like theek hai. I get a bit casual. There is a change in my posture, the way I sit is no more erect. 

4: my attitude while giving test series is not right. jab koi question nai ata I’m like “ye waise bhi nai puchega”. That’s wrong.

5: I stress too much. Agar koi Question bana nai to seedha material change karne ka khayal ata h. 

6: last last me dheela pad jana.

7: Maine Abhi tak “Indian constitution at work” nai padhi. sane for society books. Didn’t read seriously. Good part is I made proper notes of old ncerts of even ancient medieval now. Those qs were all correct. 

as you can see, my issue is mostly attitude which is what is checked.

so I won’t blame coaching, people, peers, or sources. It’s me.

Thank you. Had to vent out. It was hard work of a proper year(this attempt).

@prachimalik1121311 if your 'friend' blocked you or didnt reply because you couldnt clear an exam then they most definitely arent your friends and are horrible human beings and should be dropped like a bad habit at this instant. I used to have a lot of friends before starting this upsc journey and now after 2 years i have at best 2 of them and much happier. Stop thinking what others think of you and calculating your worth by how others perceive you. You are the one who worked hard and you should only think about how to heal yourself and not think about others. This society will always find a way to put you down no matter what you do. Tina Dabi got Rank 1 in her first attempt but people still find myriad of reasons to hate on her or gossip about her so what i am trying to say is that in this moment of disappointment try to heal yourself and move forward. Your parents will always love you no matter what and everyone else should temporary and unimportant.

Most important is that to have the inner strength to standup again 

Your utility will diminish once people start seeing you not clearing few exams (will not call them failures )(because we tried )

Second successive prelims failure of mine and cried a lot after it 

My parents said we don't want this exam what we want is you and probably not like this 

Will pick up all my effort to give it a try again 

Mai to ye sab 3 saal se jhel rahe hu.

. It does not effect me anymore at all. Apan ko ghanta farak nahi padta ki kaun kya bol raha hai hamare haare me. 

We own our failures  today, we own our mistakes too... and may be someday when .. we will be successful in our endeavor... We will not own our success ... but donate the credit to parents , family, well wishers , frnds, critics, bad mouth guys ... etc etc and long list.

@gauravbrly409 seriously man . It’s tough to digest failure jab aap bachkaani harkat
karke aate ho. I can’t even blame luck here. What luck is all deliberately going and fudging it all up. It’s a tough pill to digest

So flogging kare kya apni AI Flogging robot vana ke. 

I think - The best way to forgive ourselves and take a resolve tp not to repeat ATLEAST such silly things again.
