@NeyawnPlz help regarding making a decision about centre change thing. It's difficult to take a call in the present situation.
Currently in Delhi, have been waiting for the exams. Will it be a good decision, 3months before the prelims, to shift back to hometown for the exam, considering all the other factors like the mental pressure, change in place, etc. ?
I had been waiting for this centre change thing since long. Was in delhi, wanted to go home, but didn't, as centre was delhi. Now have changed the centre to Mumbai, and the area there is under containment since 2 days.
Worried about making changes like shifting, 1 -1.5 months before exam, as I won't be allowed to shift now
@Neyawnwhat are the chances of testseries/lectures starting in offline mode after prelims?
@Thanos_ Good step. If someone from Upsc fraternity also approach SC regarding postponement of pre, then Upsc might be compelled to give explanation whether it's going to conduct the exam or not. At least ambiguity will be over.
The govt seems to be hell bent on conducting the recruitment exams.
For the postponement/merger of 2020-21 attempts?
Because i think even if an extra attempt is provided, not all can invest financially, mentally for an extra one year.
Maybe options in the order 'postponement, merging 2020-21and then the extra attempt' could be considered/requested/demanded.
one of my friends suggested to create a customised link: https://www.change.org/postponeUPSCprelims2020 . Please follow this new link.
If you can include other factors as well like floods, displacement
My Centre is 180Km away. I usually go and stay at a Hotel a day or two before.
Now I'm little afraid to book a Hotel.
I will leave very early in the morning and reach my Centre. Let's hope everything will be alright and goes according to schedule.
Mine is 350+ km :) Don't know what to do
DID YOU GUYS NOT CHANGE YOUR CENTRES ?
MH has only 6 centres. So people are bound to travel
@Interstellar05 only!!Most crowded/dense Bihar with poor transport has 1 or 2.
Considering present situation, be it 2 or 6, kam hi hai
@Interstellar05 i just thought 350+ km is a little too much..thoda relatively aas paas centre hoga .isliye asked a naive question..
Kya hi kar sakte hai about centre !!

already abt to reach 100

😬 Don't know how it works
@LeoMessi truth be told, this thread was never meant to be productive ! at least not since the announcement of dates. and yet here we are.
But i do agree...the nature of discussions has gone from intelligent and logical speculation to taking personal jibes and showing off writing skills and command over language. i mean who says, "discomfort in your myelin sheath" ? right ? 😆😆😆😆 Hell i needed auto correct to type the wordMyelincorrectly 😆😆
anyway...good luck with your prep. But you would never get this message coz you have already left .
OR have you ? 😈😈😈😈
I think calling out people for hypocrisy is perfectly alright and a sign of a healthy democracy. However, one must stop short of taking potshots and offering personal jibes. I think people should be able to sit down and discuss about contentious issues, but it is also necessary that such a debate should be on the basis of a certain set of accepted facts.
Here, as@Spectrum pointed out, the instances of untouchability faced by backward castes, especially the Depressed classes, has been documented over decades. It has also been demonstrably proven that social discrimination based on caste has nothing to do with your job or your income. Now, when these basic facts are ignored, it cannot possibly lead to a fruitful debate. I think the basic point@Spectrum is making is that this social discrimination is not a matter of debate. It is a fact. I mean, it's not something you agree or disagree with. Just because you dont think the number five is actually the number five, it doesn't make a difference to the actual fact situation on the ground. Five comes after four and before six. You don't have to agree with it.
I agree with my friend above who said that the debate, as it is happening on the platform, is pointless.That is because it is not constructive the way it is happening. If we can agree on the basic fact that social discrimination is not economic discrimination, but also agree that there is a need to uplift the economically downtrodden,we could always be in a position where we can debate the form in which affirmative action must be undertaken both on the basis of caste and income.I don't understand people ignoring the discussion altogether saying it is pointless. It is one of the most important issues of our time. This is a beautiful democracy if we allow it to be. Please don't shy away from difficult conversations. I think we can always find a way to make them productive.
Sir then there should be seperate thread on such discussion where people willing to debate will discuss there. Me personally don't have any problem with debating on such topics here but they should be concluded somewhere and not consume for some 5-10 pages on the thread. And if the topic is complex and require further time and debate then a separate thread should be created that is all i am trying to say. Yes people come here and refresh pages to pass time when they are bored...may be some are bored all the time but people come here to see and contribute to bakar on speculation of the dates of postponement for which the thread was initially created. Yes, other forms of debates happened on this thread like the one on neoliberalism or something...but they atleast agreed to disagree and topic was concluded amd then we moven on to bakar of speculation dates.....I am not opposed to any forms of fruitful debates i am just saying create seperate thread and invite people there. This thread should be centered around prelims postponement, petitions gor postponement, extra attempt, speculation of dates,etc. Kya pata someone insider info de de just like someone on this thread itself gave 4oct date info.
i do not mean to offend anyone. Thanks.
