[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.

पढ़ लो, 2 महीने पहले भी यही बकर पेल रहे थे । 4 महीने का टाइम दे दिया अब भी वही बकर चल रही । UPSC ने सेंटर बदलवा दिए हैं, नए स्कूल भी खरीद लेगी सेंटर्स के लिए , हर सेंटर पर बच्चे भी कम लेगी, प्लास्टिक शीट्स भी लगवा देगी बेंचेज़ पर कवरिंग के लिए, invigilaters को PPE किट्स भी देदेगी और बच्चों को एक मास्क और face shield sanitiser किट भी दे देगी जरूरी हुआ तो - मगर एग्जाम अक्टूबर में ही होगा । 😎😎😎

@sankalpr91 We must make choices within the constraints, but we shouldn't be slaves to them. With due respect, I find this comparison itself, of using exam and life in one sentence to be stretching our imagination and importance too far. There are tens of millions in this country who are out of jobs, lost near and dear ones, facing unsurmountable odds, barely meeting ends. Imagine graduates applying for NREGS work as a very small example. The plight of expats from Middle east, the uncertainty of not being able to provide for children, wife, elders back at home. For them life has taken a turn for worse. Civil Services and the accompanying uncertainty it entails, as a process is tailored for true believers and not public at large.

In comforts of our wi-fi/4G and growing intellectual prowess with more revision and exposure to content, we have started to believe that Oct 4 is some god ordained day. Its not. We are appearing for an exam that furthers our career prospects and helps us serve the nation. 

In the present circumstances, the best we can do is be more compassionate, not flow in the stream of uncertainty and hold steady to our own. Beyond that, if you have the luxury of making out time for studies, please do give it your all. Competition is and will be fierce, any given day. Be it Oct 20' or Jan 20' or Mar 20' and onwards.

Again. You know best which way you'd like Oct 4 to swing to. Hold steady to it. It is and it always comes down to choice. The work done at Oxford in recent months has made it a leading potential vaccine candidate. Interesting fact is Oxford University was established around the time when Sultans out here were busy investing in their own tombs. Its all about choices we make..

Cheers!

श्रीमान, हम आपकी बात से सहमत है, लेकीन-

१. बेंचस पर प्लास्टिक शीट लगाने से क्या फायदा, अपनी तशरीफ तो व्यक्ति को उस पर तब भी रखनी होगी। 

२. यूपीएससी के सेंटर बदलने का जो विकल्प दिया था उससे तेज तो आईआरसीटीसी की वेबसाइट पर तत्काल टिकट बुक हो जाता है।

३. इस कोरोना महामारी के बीच तो मोदी जी, अमित शाह भी नहीं बता सकते कि परीक्षा हो पाएगी की नहीं। (हम सब उम्मीवार ४ अक्टूबर ही तह मान के चल रहे है)

४. बकर करने से उम्मीदवरों का मानसिक संतुलन बना रहता है और ऐसे प्रश्न मन्न में उठना कोई असमंजस की बात नहीं। सब अपना दुख सुख बाट रहे है यहां। 

नोट- मास्क तो सब उम्मीदवार खुद ही ले आएंगे, सेंटर पे मिले या ना मिले।

धन्यवाद, आपका दिन शुभ रहे।

 Yes...
To be precise, Oxford University was being established exactly when Nalanda University was being burnt...


But, new University of Nalanda has been planned and is under construction by Ministry of External affairs in collaboration with Bihar govt and Govt of 21 Asian countries. U may like to visit, for infotainment, the link below:

हा हा हा.. सही बोले श्रीमान.. पता तो स्वयं UPSC को भी नहीं कि कब होगा.. परन्तु बस एक परिपाटी हमेशा याद रहे.. "EXAM postpone केवल और केवल तभी होगा जब UPSC की तैयारी नहीं होगी, न कि आपकी, हमारी या बाकी एस्पिरेन्ट्स की ।" 


बाकी बकर करना तो हमारा जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है । मैं भी तो वही कर रहा हूँ ;) धन्यवाद आपका भी दिन रात शुभ हो ।

If anyone of the oldies who are in the UPSC interview panel gets infected then exam will get postponed for next year withim a day. Covid19 is a hoax for everyone till the time they reach hospitals for the same.

Exam on 4th October looks like will happen. The way Upsc has gone to the extent of giving flight fare for interview appearing candidates, it seems like it will go ahead and conduct the exam on 4th October. Central government (or BJP ruled states) is not in favor of extending the lockdown anymore. They are determined to take final year exams as well as JEE and NEET exams even though states are opposing it.

Comparing 600+ odd candidates of interview with 6 lac+  candidates of prelims ..funny 

Neet , jee mains and final year exams r courses ; not recruitment exam...
Still none of the above happened yet , only dates are given each time to postpone further ...
Untill and unless there is decrease in corona cases , nothing gonna happen ..
Be practical

its straight and simple if you are not in favour of upsc cse conducting on 4th because cases are increasing then either you withdraw your candidature or don''t appear.

1. your dad or bro sis must be going out for job daily in this same situation despite this you are putting forward how going to exam center will increase your chances of infection and family members.

ps :my dad is going out every day and my bro is working he has to go out every day. your family memebrs must be doing same for your food and ease living.

2. when risk comes form everywhere then i choose career over life,for me career is more important than life. so it depends on individual what matters for them(but i gave you logic how your dad or bro sis going out daily for your comfort living). upsc gave you option to withdraw your form in case you dont want to appear. 

if your family memebers 

are going out for jobs that includes public transport travel workign with large customers as banks staffs. why are you so worried about your health by a single day of exam?are we ambani or birla? if we are we wont apply upsc ever we are of middle class .i am sorry for my harsh words to all the members. corona is real and rude i know but everyone should stop their bro sis and dad mom from going to their jobs. ofcousre they use publc transport , crowd in offices as bankers , shop owners, which job gives no corwd at all? even if you are DM IPS or whatever.


WITHDRAW YOUR FORMS or STUDY hard why exam should not happen ?

who is paying your bills? dont you see your dad and bro going out everyday risking their lives? 

dont they travel? is there anyone whose dad is bankers constable police officers busnimen? which kind of job or business of your family is so safe that there is no crowd dealing? no public transport using? 

its same like labourers waking on their foot for upsc dream and privileged puclic mocking them that they are responsible for corona spread but reality is that every single case of corona was brought by flights 


or meri baat dil par mat lena..i am sorry.

@curiouscse that's a very interesting perspective my friend. Albeit a narrow one. Consider this:


You will be safe. I will be safe. Your family will be safe. My family will be safe. You will be AIR 1. I will be AIR 2. Like Yo yo choti singh here, we will be commenting on these blogs for fun next year, may be from the ACADEMY. GREAT. We risked it. We fought. We got through. Career is more important and so be it. 

But if you know how statistics work, all that is required to spoil the party is 6 Lakh aspirants mein basEKko kuch ho jaana (khuda na khaasta) ! ya uss ek ki wajah se uss ke MUM, DAD, ya DADA / DADI ko kuch ho jaana (khuda na khaasta)

Aur jab aisa hoga and wo kal yahin issi platform pe apni story share karega, kya tab bhi tum issi attitude se bologe 
" but upsc gave you the option sis/bro, you shouldn't have given the exam.  UPSC gave you the option to withdraw. why did you give the exam ?" 

CAN YOU, IN YOUR RIGHT MIND, SAY THAT ?

Itta insensitive mat bano. Administrator ban ne jaa rahe. thoda socho.

World leaders define loss of lives in wars as "collateral damage." In fact We are taught that Warscan  and are supposed to havecollateral damage

But brother,Exams, sure as hell have no scope for collateral damage. Not even one. Period. 

So when you ask us to de-hyphenate family from the exam, sorry. But we can't. Even if I can, my heart goes out to even that single person who might end up becoming the reason for something tragic. 

just goes to prove what everyone has been saying here, " these are mere statistics toeveryone, until it hits them or (bhagwaan na kare) their family member " 

Ab aap dil mein mat lena. But thoda aur sensitive bano.

PEACE
