Most csat keys are doing blunder with the stick question
if minimum length the can be measured By the both the sticks is to be calculated, then one has to take LCM of the two number..lcm of 7.5 , 3.25 ..lcm is 97.5 feet..which isnt given in option
now if the maximum/greatest length can be used to measure both the sticks is Asked, we take the HCF of two numbers..which is 0.25 feet
but the question talks of just ‘Minimum length that one can measure’ ( not maximum length that can be used to measure both the sticks, hence HCF method is wrong)
the likely and appropriate answer as given in vision is 1 foot

BHAIYOO PADH LO MAINS KE LIYEE, MERAA INTERVIEW HAI NOV MEIN, AT UPSC HOUSE OF CAPF AC, I HAVE FINIHED POL SCI AND PUB AD. ALREDY, KAM SE KAM AAP LOG OPTIONAL KAR LOO.
@Harsh_capf_ac aajkal el optional hota hai bhai.. do nahin 😂
In the csat RC it is clearly written- answer it based upon the given passage. "The passage of 10 lines given in the question paper".not from the whole articles that you find from the original sources.
Upsc answers in both GS and CSAT have always been based on source passages and verbatims. Always. No exception. As a matter of rule. Whether one likes it or not.
bhai woh dream 11 khelenge in dreams.only his marked answers are correct accoeding to him
Preamble question is lifted from a book by Guwahati Professor Aparajita Baruah. She wrote the book InterPreting preamble . Uske according the answer is D. Since the book Preview is Limited I cant post the link here.I dont want to argue on this because I know people with A have valid justification. Its might just come to Whats more correct.Banian were Agents of Europeans, they used to do all kind of works for them. This I got wrong as I marked 3 only.
I searched the book of aparajita baruah. No verbatim there. If what you say is indeed true, Please post the screenshot of the search So that all can see it..wish u best
@Sramana so what’s the answer then?
Answer D hi hai, jisko jitna machana hai macha lo
Machao tum apna khud ka hi 😜

Guys I cleared with around 90 marks, thanks to SC category butI seriously have to say one thingto those who think they cleared but yet couldn't feature in the list.
Even though this is my first attempt and started prep in April what I have realised talking to people who have given quite a number of times and a few who are in the service is they have never seen so many people who claim to have cleared both CSAT and GS but still didn't qualify. I know many genuine guys who are shocked they couldn't clear and there is little chance of them flunking CSAT, IIT background with more than decent Comprehension skills. Tbh I majorly did comprehension and yet cleared. Got 80% of them right. In hindsight, it was definitely a wrong strategy but anyway I crossed the mark.
Now coming to the point, I wanted to make, I honestly believe there is something really off with the result. They published the result within 19 days in a lockdown situation. They needed to check 5 lacs copies. The data entry is done manually and these guys would have been under immense pressure to get it done. Remember this is handled by private company employees who can't be really screwed legally. Chances are high there was some mistake in data entry or worse they have just directly entered random marks in some cases without checking to meet the deadline. It has happened in other exams, it can happen in UPSC too especially when Pvt company employees are pressured to meet unrealistic deadlines.
My suggestion to you all: File an RTI asking for certified copies of your OMR. Don't ask for cut off or Model Answers.
What will it achieve: Even if they deliberately, delay the response to push it near or after the mains, if you would have actually cleared the prelims, and your OMR was wrongly marked/checked/data properly not entered, you can approach the Court for a direct attempt at mains next year. And the Court will in all probability grant that request because there has to be some compensation monetary or otherwise. Remember even after all your preparations you can actually legitimately fail prelims next year so why not waiver that stage off for you, if you genuinely deserved it this year. The process is not really that taxing. I have seen people getting things done through RTI in a breeze. And if the facts are also concretely in your favour High Courts also dispose of the Case in 1/2 hearing especially ones related to Important exams. Best of Luck if you go ahead.
Thanks.
i suspect you are rubbing salt on the wounds of people whom couldnt clear and adding to thier confusion more
one can only say what went wrong post answer keys and marks are released post exam process
i suspect a lot of people went cool with paper 2 especially
rest will be known when marks are released
@Sramana I really didn't mean to offend anybody or rub salt. It was my genuine feeling and that is what I wrote. As I said this was my first attempt so may be wrong with my analysis/understanding but the intention was never wrong.
ok sir
but it happens everyyear...individuals check institute keys ,find scores good enough to be qualified..but later doesnt...chances go even by 0.33 marks sometimes..but thats how it is everyyear..
counter examples are also there..some feel hopeless about clearing cutoff but find some more answers correct as per official key and get to write mains
so one doesnt know what has happened
plus this year csat was tricky very much compared to previous years..the tried test method of attempt 38-40 sureshot questions may not hve worked eapecially when one has attempted quite a good number of passages (not saying easy or difficult but tricky)
it is like a blackhole..
all the best to you..study well for mains.!
