[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

@Chuatur_ Prani iam forming a batch of 3 for mains preparation .if interested mail to premchand253@gmail.com

@Oasis

Ok so my optional is psir.

And did my ma in political science from IGNOU.

For jrf you need to be enrolled in masters atleast. Apne optional subject mein hi karlo, kaam aata hai.

@VivekanandS

Bhai, I believe you should take up a job, if you get. If not go for some other exam and try to clear it. Matlab jo apko lage aap nikal sakte ho kam time mein.

I think skip karne mein hi zyada benefit hai. Is cycle se nikal jao.

Meanwhile upsc ko part time prepare karte raho, don't neglect it totally. Part time I mean write 2 answers daily, read optional and newspaper ye sab 2 hours mein hota hai, agar sab pehle padha ho to. Baki sirf revision aur value addition karo through writting.

And gradually 2022 tak saare content achese banalo, notes taiyar karo, optional ethics sab sort karo.

And most importantly find the reason why you failed. I mean sit with all past 5 years papers, aur jot down karo, ki kitne total attempt hue, kitne easy question galat hue jo sabke sahi hote hai. Question approach karte waqt kaisa mindset hota hai aapka. I believe it is not the knowledge but confidence and approach jisse aapka pre nahi hua pehle.

Okay Brother..

Thanks A lot for your Suggestions

@Sailor

Bhai is baar coaching keys mein variation aaye hai kafi, agar 4 questions aapke favor mein vary nahi hue matlab apke 11 marks kam hue hoge. So 95 se kam ho sakta hai, ya point se miss kiye hoge aap.

MaeveWiley,

@VivekanandS

Welcome Bhai. Always have faith in yourself. 😊

VivekanandS,

@Rambo93 Those so called controversial qns doesn't change my score because I have either skipped it or have received negative marking in both the keys i have checked. And I don't think there will be much variations in other answers. Losing another 10 marks is highly improbable. That's what worries me.

D7,

@Sailor

Bhai ye to ab marksheet se hi samjhega.

@MC Cullum Don't know bro. I have never doubted the processes before. I always try to cross check my omr info before handing over to invigilators. But still inexplicable thing happened with me this time. Being on margins and failing is less painful compared to this totally shocking result.

in with fifth mains consecutive. Was getting 101.33 min... Coaching keys thrashed completely in my view.
Sir, Plz Share your Strategy for prelims in 5 points.It would be highly appreciated.

I think on following lines based on my personal experience only. May not apply to all and fully. May sound preachy or absurd like coaching gurus. please spare me in anonymity.

1. Read past year papers(5 years, downloaded pdfs not any readymade book in market) and be thorough about pattern of questions.

2. Never prepare for prelims only and not according to coachings. Dedicate last one month only for prelims before that dont make too much noise about pre. If you have money get one test series and do not bother about others.

3. Read one news paper daily. And keep prelims papers in mind to see what can be a questions and ans. , side by side google search will be needed. Only minimum notes that feel you forget. Prepare code or have some photographic memory at once and leave. Cover fast and only according to past questions depth. No need to spend to much time on details. See basics as year, other facts do not write . read mindfully thing ll come in exam. Rest notes in market for current in last ll do.

4. Basic books and NCERT are must everybody knows. Here also one must keep in mind syllabus and past questions. Both pre and mains. Last one month in pre focus you can revise things you consider difficult like ancient for me.

5. Last in minimum time go through one compilation like 365 or insights to avoid any you miss and for general parity. One cycle of one test series to be done. No revision of tests, just remember what mistakes you did and what you forgot.

one more point in exam hall...Sleep well .Dont panic, avoid questions you feel no body will be able to answer. Play according to merit of paper and your strengths. Read questions and all options completely for speed you must have seen past papers and tests.

I agree with you,i too was confident because of getting 105-110 and csat too was above average score but i am shocked since last 24 hours.Why the hurry this time?what they did extra to prepone the result from expected 30-40 day average?And if this was possible why they didn't did in 2019 and 2018?

With this much opacity,i think UPSC is an irony personified.See NTA too uploads candidate's OMR to ensure the marking and UPSC cannot?NTA took NEET and JEE of almost double students than UPSC but they did so and thus you all have read the story of ST student who became topper of his category after recheck application.

Can we ask UPSC to do the same?

D7,MaeveWileyand1 otherslike this

@captainamerica Yeah. Even state PSC s do upload the omr response sheets before final results. How can we make UPSC do the same? Atleast a semblance of transparency will come to the process if they do so. Will filing RTI help anyway?

@Sailori donot know,any lawyer here?Please enlighten

D7 .

Atleast there should be a grievance option for reconsidering omr evaluation like for other exams.

MC Cullum .

@Darvey78 i am 106 according to shankar and vision... and 111 according to Forumias

Lowest i am having is 101 according to civils daily..

My mean score was 106 ......tallied with 8 keys...

108 bhi mila hai and 103 bhi..

D7,

Chuatur_ Prani .

Coaching keys ke minimum 4 to 5 answers are wrong. Kisi ki bhi calculation kharaab karne ko itna hi kafi hoga.

@Sailor This is what people do not get. Even in my case controversial questions are all negative. Getting 104.5 min and yet not pass
