[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.
@Agog I think they are not going to postpone it. Interviews and other exams are already taking place.
Sadhika,
@JackFarmer @LeoMessi I also feel that 2020 is a washout. Considering what's happening in US & our population, we might see e.g. 40k cases/day in next month or next to it. Also different parties are in power in different states. But looks like this will continue (with lows & high cases cycle) until vaccine comes in market which is unlikely in 2020. So that may prompt govt to go ahead with exams. JEE NEET will clear the clouds. We can't be complacent anyway!!

This only has a notice for changing interview dates on Saturdays and Sundays. Rest of the interviews will go on.

Not gonna lie, what felt like a good opportunity to make sure my first attempt at prelims is my best attempt (or at least theoretically better that it could’ve been than had it been on time in May), doesn’t seem comforting anymore. I’ll be actually disappointed if the exam doesn’t take place in October, again.
I know it doesn’t matter, and I know how small my concerns are in the grand scheme of things with all the chaos around, but this already was the longest year of my life (an year of preparation). Now it feels like it’s doomed to be the longest two, before I even know if I’m even in the game.
But then, what else can we do.
Notorious milestones (tombstones) of 2020
March14: 100+cases
March 29: 1000+cases
April13: 10,000+ cases
May18: 1,00,000+ cases
Jul16: 10,00,000+ cases
*****************************
it took 14 days for the cases to double from 62,500 to 1,25,000
15 days for the next doubling from 1,25,000 to 2,50,000
20 days for next leap from 2,50,000 to 5,00,000
and finally 21 days for the latest number from: 5,00,000 to 10,00,000
what happens next....... i hope this be the end of every damn number. I wish an iron man comes up and destroy this thanos with a snap.
the erratic monsoons are already impeding the containment process. on the other hand, the decreased temperatures increase the onset of respiratory disorders which increase the risk of getting infected.....
let's hope for the best.
Now let's try and see if we can work our way backwards from October 4th and predict the future course of events :
October 4th is the D day
by September 15th they need to start dispatching question papers to various centers and get on with their administrative work.
by September 15th they need to start mailing our admit cards too.
so between August 30th and 7th September, they must sit down and finalize their decision to hold the exams after all.
And by the looks of it, by August 30th we are looking at 50-60 K cases (a modest guess) or even 70-80K (worst case scenario) cases per day if the situation keeps deteriorating.
or even if a miracle were to happen today itself and the graph starts to flatten and then go down, even that would require a good 2-3 months till cases become negligible.
so where does that leave them and their decision ? Are they seriously willing to risk safety of Lakhs of aspirants , not to mention the family members of these aspirants and the endless chain of contacts that can emanate from these family members ?
More importantly, where does that leave us and our constant struggle to keep ourselves motivated ? we went all guns blazing from Feb to April (despite having to travel to our hometowns and not having our books and resources) ; then mellowed down when we got clarity in May ; joined essays and mains programs to possibly make up for our errors in syllabus completion. And its already July 15th and we are supposed to start with Prelims again. But for all we know, exam might get postponed again.
Speculate all you can fellow aspirants.
Bas himmat mat haarna.
By the looks of it, our battle is pretty much on course to get extended further and we will need every shred of willpower to keep pushing and stay consistent.
So yesterday, we had a new single day high again (36K nearly)

since you have elaborated on most of it so let me add a pinch in it:-
India is currently banking on a vaccine of corona. testing has started on 7th of july at 12 centers across India including AIIMS patna & Delhi.
Everything depends upon the success of this vaccine. GOI, ICMR is very close, I must say and plan is to launch it on 15th of AUG by NAMO. It has to survive on all parameters till Aug, 14. Till then and if not. Nobody has a power to conduct paper pencil test in India and till what time??? Till any other vaccine/medicine i.e. =1/0.
Prefer not to give any closing line because we are 135crore.

Vaccine on Aug 15th is a gimmick to say the least. Human trials take a lot of time and it's availability in 2021 also has slim chances. It takes 3 to 4 months to manufacture just millions of doses. India is a country with a billion and so, let's not have false hopes on these matters.
