[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Am I the only one here who thinks that his preparation is completely messed up. Read everything multiple times. But dont know what to revise, what to leave. Now studying just for the sake of studying. In the back of mind I know this attempt is doomed. Sorry don't want to spread negativity. But this is what it is.

Indian Bureaucrats are robots. They are meant to obey their masters. And looking at our current regime, if u don't obey, u will be made to fall in line.

These coaching walas coming with random cutoffs need to be confronted with. Without a very good sample size u can't predict cutoff. 

Also many who are in the 90s may not provide their scores to them just coz this 90s range cause a sky high frustation

@Pacman1 Lol he is indirectly telling that the coaching walas are getting it wrong. AI at the present level can't match human ability of writing meaningful stories and poems. It indeed is a doubtful question and can go either side.

After seeing that vision has given answer of Preamble wala questions as A that means further deduction of 2.6 marks

@rahulgandhi yaa I also marked D bit I think the coaching walas are correct. Had the statement mentioned 'defines' instead of 'provides' than the answer would have been D. But several articles of constitution explicitly provide for the judicial review.

@Howzthejosh absolutely right. Those in 94-98 range like me should start mains preparation asap and without having any second thoughts. Till the time result comes we can complete sizeable portion of optional and ethics at least. We can for now avoid revision of CA of Jan to May coz if result is not in our favour than these CA won't be much useful for next attempt.

I know it's not easy but even if we don't get in still these 40 days preparation will definitely benefit us next time. Moreover it's Oct now. We already have lost 4 months of the upcoming attempt. And know one thing UPSC answer key will be the final judge. 2-3 ambiguous questions in ur favour can get u in even if u are getting 90.

@kartikeybhatt171778 With thepresent state of development, Artificial Intelligence caneffectivelydo which of the following?
  1. Bring down electricity consumption in industrial units
  2. Createmeaningfulshort stories and songs
  3. Disease diagnosis
  4. Text-to-speech conversion
  5. Wireless transmission of electrical energy
These are the some key phrases here: 'present state of development' , 'effectively', 'meaningful'. There must have been something in the examiners mind that he put these two phrases in the question. Do u think that the examiner would have searched research papers to find out if it can be done effectively by AI. There is still a general consensus that AI is yet to be achieve a stage where it can create meaningful songs. Its in a very nascent stage on this. If u have read Harari's '21 Lessons for the 21st Century', he mostly talks in future tense when he says that AI would be able to create personalized songs in future.

Universal Declaration of Human Rights wale question me the answer should be A. 1 and 2 only. Fundamental duties do not reflect UNDHR principles as such

Also in Aadhar question answer should be C 3 only. It is very well explained by Dipin sir of forumias. Also GS score has given the same answer.

@gauravbrly409 UNDHR gives the very basic fundamental rights. FD's like Respecting national flag, national anthem, developing scientific temper, cherishing freedom struggle etc are not directly related to UNDHR. But that said Upsc is the god.

In Aadhaar question Statement 4 is wrong. Aadhaar Act does not mention that aadhaar is mandatory to get benefits from CFI. It simply says that that the gov. may register. 

Chapter 3 Point 7

The Central Government or, as the case may be, the State Government may, for the purpose of establishing identity of an individual as a condition for receipt of a subsidy, benefit or service for which the expenditure is incurred from, or the receipt therefrom forms part of, the Consolidated Fund of India, require that such individual undergo authentication, or furnish proof of possession of Aadhaar number or in the case of an individual to whom no Aadhaar number has been assigned, such individual makes an application for enrolment: Provided that if an Aadhaar number is not assigned to an individual, the individual shall be offered alternate and viable means of identification for delivery of the subsidy, benefit or service.

I am finding conflicting reports on whether aadhaar is mandatory for insurance or not. Maybe some individual working in the insurance sector may enlighten. But if this option is also wrong than I am afraid the entire question is wrong. One should than send representation.

@Equalizer @Negan As far as I remember the SC said that gov can mandatorily use Aadhar for providing benefits of any particular scheme for which funds are used from CFI. It did not say that gov has to mandatorily use aadhaar for every scheme for which funds are used from CFI.

Is Non financial debt question settled? Can any one with eco optional enlighten whether the definition is based on the issuer or borrower? Now even shankar has changed its answer key
4.4k views
@Challenger_Deep 99% sure that answer will be 1, 2 and 3. Non financial debt will be the debt held at any point of time by the non financial sector. I did Mark it wrong.
Fertigation question also I checked the answer given by the keys is correct. The world 'all' in 2nd statement makes it incorrect.
Sent representation for Aadhaar question. I have no doubt that the question is incorrect. But have less hope that UPSC will take the representation seriously.
AI question can go either way.
My score is 96.6. So in all probability my fate depends on AI Wala question.
Will now leave this thread to prepare for mains with full zeal. Thank u all

In Kesvanand bharti case, SC has explicitly said that Preamble will be used to interpret provisions of constitution and other statues. Than why is there so much fuss about the question. D option is the most appropriate answer b/w A and D. And I think the examiner purposely put A statement as first option and D statement as last option so that students in rush tick A and skip reading rest of the options.

In the Non financial debt question, the odds are in favour of 3 only i.e Treasury Bills. IMF defines NFD based on who the issuer is. Among the three options only government is the non financial entity. So answershould be Treasury Bills only

Getting exact 96 from both vision and insights. Cutoff speculation: 96.6. Taking into account the fact that students got 4 extra months. So future now depends on AI question. Marked it as not all.

@Proper_patola I know a witch. Very much reliable. She said I am not getting through. So guessing cutoff will be just above 96. Less than 97

I have cleared pre but have decided not to write test series. So if anyone wants to write vision 32 tests(all available) can message me. Price will be kept in reasonable range. As I don't have time for negotiations. Also I want to give away CA classes for 2020 mains with topics covered from Sept 2019. I am much better without the coaching stuff
