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 । 😎😎😎
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।
Keep your parents and yourself safe. We managed to find a bed for my father with much difficulty. The hospital has only one ventilator which is already in use. I'm praying he won't need it. I've been sick for two days, i doubt if i will get a bed if i need one. No exam should happen.
Location : Guntur/Vijayawad in Andhra Pradesh. If anybody has contacts that can help me or my mother get a bed on the day we need it, please help. Thanks
I can't even imagine what you are going through. Stay strong friend. Everything will be okay. I wish you and your family members a speedy recovery. Seeing all this around even I think no exams should happen.

I still feel Pan india exam is really tough in the current situation. Though not in favour but still nothing should be done in a hurry. Apparently"live with covid"has been deciphered wrongly by the masses. They totally forgot a sizable section cannot live with covid.
I am not able to understand as to why is Karnataka government hell bent on conducting the examination? If majority of the students are opposing it, then the govt should,politically speaking,simply pay heed to it.
Or is it just a minority who want the exam to be postponed?
So that private colleges can secure admission and fill up their coffers before JEE and other national exams. Money once spent cannot be returned even if the candidate is selected for IIT and other colleges.
Will exam gets postponed?
this question has no answer. It is popping up in almost every aspirant's mind and not only UPSC, i mean all competitive exams aspirants- JEE NEET. If you go on quora there are a plethora of questions asking the same-
" will jee postpone further from September?"
"will Neet be conducted in September?"
And aspirants are puzzled, even CLAT students are puzzled as their exams are next month.
And there are 2 types of groups amongst these aspirants
1. Who want postponement
2. Who do not want postponement (mainly so called droppersin jee neet terms)
and they are fighting and abusing each other like anything.
However both the groups are right in their own sense (speaking about serious aspirants).
So it's not only us UPSC aspirants who are going through this turmoil. These late teenagers (about 30 lakhs +) are facing the same stress. Same reasons FOR and Against that are being represented in this same thread.
We are not alone, every student in the country is facing the same problem. Many have been affected by Covid like our brother@Phagocyte . Not only aspirants but their parents too.
So coming back to the question- Yes jee and neet is not the same as UPSC but it can be a litmus test for other National exams. Will show the mood of the respective bodies- how well they think they can manage it. Cause acc to me SOPs good look on the paper, ground reality differs. And yes not to forget aboutNDA, in a week we will come to know. However nothing can be said with full confidence as of now. Till now UPSC has been performing well by keeping in mind the dangers involved- be it interview or postponed pre.
At this crisis moment we can just keep our families and ourselves safe by not moving out unnecessarily. Covid is a curse for many. Keep your spirits high and meanwhile focus on 4th October.
Keep preparing and supporting each other.
Mockery of Social distancing in Karnataka cet
Just look at the comments on you tube for this video.
Seeing all this It has made me thinking now govt is adamant and stubborn on the issue for exams. By these recent events I don't think UPSC will postpone any further. May god help us now. Plus see UGC's reply...they are not even 0.5% in favour of postponement let alone cancellation, only relief is a future date for exams that too for those students who cannot appear till September. (little hope for the case in SC today)
I wish whatever the govt and exam authorities decide be in the best interest of the candidates. Situation is getting worse and by progressive unlocking everything I guess in September some parts of the country a small number of educational institutions might open though parents are opposing it.
UPSC and other exam authorities should take all pros and cons in consideration and continue with the decision. All the best. I am not suggesting anything here, just wrote what I felt the present govt's stance is. I may be completely wrong.
Since herd immunity is not an option as accepted by ICMR I don't know what are they going in for by conducting exams?!!
I will add a small fact, Jee mains is held at more than 200 cities, Jee advance - 140 cities approx
Neet- around 155 cities
UPSC prelims- 72
UPPSC mains postponed to 22nd September
@sympa thank you for the info
Xam hoga ya nahi ab koi batao Augut aa gya,pura August strict lockdown hai in Bihar and Maharashtra.1 month me by september end kya sab thik ho jaega considering non essential nature of xam?In dono state me abhi tak koi essential xams bhi nahi hue!!UPSC ko agar xam lena tha toh centre kyu nahi badhaye??
Kyunki
https://twitter.com/nidhiindiatv/status/1289730142483357696
kyunki centre badhane ke baad bhi yahi hoga 👆:Premature evacuation, sab chipak ke khade ho jao ab maza aa raha hai
@rafael kidding brother/sister
not kidding.. face shield is a must . along with mask .we can only decrease the probability . covid has long term impact . Even if u clear u might nt perform to ur best in 3.5 months . People aftr months of recovery are complaining abt fatigue , joint pain , chest pain , brain fog .
Yes I completely agree, by kidding i meant for PPE kit, obv we are not going to wear ppe kit and sit 4 hrs for the exam.
https://twitter.com/nidhiindiatv/status/1289932748900069378
Ms Nidhi Taneja, journalist, who has raised several issues of students/aspirants in the past few months, has tweeted for UPSC aspirants. I believe more people should put forward the demand of an additional attempt by giving one time relaxation as a special case. Kindly tweet/retweet/dm her about the issues we are facing.
Yes but I guess may be many want only 1 compensatory attempt without skipping this year's attempt.
Exam on 4th October seems to be real possibility now. The way KCET has been held, it's very much possible that Upsc will be conducting examination on time with necessary precautions.Probably everything will play around the actualisation of Federalism. Any All-India Exam will require active coordination with States. Lets see how it pans out.
I don't know if the states can stop it, it won't be conducted only when there will be logistical issues. Given what happened in KCET. Also for jee less than a month remaining and not even a word by govt only that parents n students demanding postponement till situation is under control.Plus NDA too looks like a green signal.

CLAT 2020 to be first national exam in times of Covid
This year, 68,000 candidates have registered for the entrance test for undergraduate admissions and around 9,000 for admission to the post-graduate programme
Simply put - What would we be if we were attached to another object by an incline plane wrapped helically around an axis?
Twitteratis have flooded with thisRahul Modi meme, this year he will dawn all other toppers interview. He will be the most famous one this year. And the most hilarious thing is rank 420.
Naam bhi kya kya kar deta ha.
*just on a lighter note, getting selected itself is an achievement- rest rank and all not in our hand.
Guys she has been a Femina Miss India Finalist. What a talented girl she is. Year after year, UPSC has proved that it wants people from different backgrounds.Such a good change.
Bro kaha diff. background. She was studious throughout. As someone forwarded the link here.
98% in boards
SRCC (Sri Ram College of Commerce), then science student
Got IIM Indore in 2018
Though yes cracking civils in itself is an achievement- I mean for all.
This she quoted "But it's not that I suddenly generated an interest in studies. I was always very studious. I was the head girl in my school. I was a science student and then I went to SRCC (Sri Ram College of Commerce), so my background was such. And ultimately I gravitated back to my studies," she tells us
Bhai ek dum Dil, Dimag, Kidney, Liver sabki baat boli. I 100% agree with you. Few stories are printed. The rest even don't care if their story becomes a story or gets out in the market. Good eg. adding to that, The model was also 1st time attempter and definitely a very good academic record though only the model thing is being so much highlighted in newspapers and social media by Senior Ias officers esply, similarly stands for others, and we never do any background check. We assume everything to the word they say. If we delve deeper there are some other supplementary stories to them. eg. in 1st attempt qualifiers we don't know how many years the person has put in, some start since 12th class or from college 2nd/3rd year. Some are academically brilliant-means studious throughout who have a lot of experience about competitive exams. Some have better amenities or from a much better socio economic background. Nonetheless from every aspect and circumstances people are selected as UPSC is unbiased.
We assume everyone is either anundisputed championoran underdog.
and that guilt thing is to the point. Comparison is always the enemy. Thanks for clearing this up. Out of 100 stories we focus on only those 15 stories who wethinkare brilliant, just like prelims we tend to focus on those 15 questions which are teaser questions and we extrapolate the whole paper to it and even for next year.
Thanks buddy@rashivfor saying it out clearly. And don't believe what all stories are printed or said. Already qualified people can ascertain this fact.
Keep preparing
Edit: adding to that what if those role/ideal aspirants had to go through your circumstances. Means - all facilities, socio economic circumstance, family problems, past mentality, education background ,break ups etc. their results might have been different or at least not similar. Most of these stories are tweaked/modified for market success.
Who was the MVP who predicted about the Exam date being 4th october ? We might need him again here :P :D
@kraantikaari was the mvp 
@Thanos_ postpone karwa ki hi manoge.....😂😂😂
Bhai mere hath mai kuch kaha. You also know what will happen will happen.
@sjl_mndl1369 It's not about preparation time, Mate.It's about travel hassles.There is still cases rising in Maharashtra. And I don't think by end of August it will go down. There still is District Lockdown (update me).Bus service is not yet resumed.Also, I doubt Boarding & Lodging will start (Rather I'm afraid to stay)And my Centre is 150Km away.It's OK to say it, if you are living in same city as your Centre. But there must be many people me as well.But you are right, extra time won't improve your preparation for Civil Services.Hope everything works out.
Yes I agree, I don't know why people are assuming that whoever is asking for postponement has a motive of extra time. True it won't change anything preparation wise. But there are genuine concerns about travelling and lodging. And the biggest factor is - if you contract covid, already the gap has been reduced to 3 months b/w pre and mains. imagine the loss that the candidate will suffer. This is not free and fair exams.
There might be some malafide demands but maximum are genuinely concerned about family and their own health. And don't give suggestions like you can drop this year- what if they also have commitments and financial burdens, better than extending their preparation till June 2022,
And i don't think they will merge any exams. Take a clue from state PCS, though they are late they conduct the exams separately for every year. they will fast track the prelims results and the mains. Still 2020 can be completed before july end 2021.
And lastly if this is the stress you can't face in life, there will be much bigger challenges in any service and definitely in life; when you will look back this will look minuscule. So be it 4th October or November or December we should learn to cope up with the circumstances. Our condition is not worse than those poor migrants who had nothing. Sorry for the gyan but had to say. To sum it up be prepared for 4th oct and if it is postponed better than sulking make the best use of time and make sure you get a rank and are freed from this cycle.
Best wishes from my side
bahut se logon ne fake banaye hong hi ews certf. i dont think so itna minute level pe checking hoga ews ka selection ke baad
Well ye toh nahi pata but post recruitment the cross checking process is a confidential one. It is done via the DM with the help of police machinery. A certain amount of risk is involved. Why take risk. Itni mehnat se aaoge and raddh kar denge selection...kya faayda?
They are well aware of the fact about faking for original certificates.
If you think Caste goes away because you hold an influential position, you should also know that our President was denied entry at a temple only recently. I don't understand why people think untouchability goes away with wealth.
Acc to this logic I say if one doesn't want to be discriminated further and are economically ok or near ok , simply apply from General category. Case closed.
some doubts
a) Is aryan invasion still considered as probable reason for fall of IVC
b) will upsc ask questions like military exercises list ( i think they will be asked in bank exams)
c) are awards based questions asked in upsc (--do--)
a.) some historians do consider this
b.) They can ask, just a yorker question, in case, match the following may be
c.) yes Indira Gandhi Peace Prize was asked in 2015, ISRO was the answer for that year.
Edit: was in 2015 prelims
Indira Gandhi Prize for Peace, Disarmament and Development for 2014 was given to which one of the following?
(a) Bhabha Atomic Research Centre
(b) Indian Institute of Science
(c) Indian Space Research Organization
(d) Tata Institute of Fundamental research

Does this mean something? IS there a storm coming?
Tomorrow in UP b.Ed. entrance exam will be held. 4 lakh candidates across 24 cities.
Green signal by state capital DM.
and see this https://www.deccanherald.com/national/covid-19-not-to-wind-down-until-at-least-october-experts-870784.html
to quote the article "Dr Ganesan (Chair of IISc’s Department of Computational and Data Sciences), whose mathematical model which takes into consideration key parameters such social distancing and quarantine breaches to make its prediction, said the latest data shows that the pandemic peaking in late October under the best-case scenario. However, under the worst-case scenario, it peaks only at the end of December, he said."

@Thanos_ bhai, what made you think that ' daal mein kuch kaalaa hain'. pls explain. We couldn't read anything btwm the lines. . conspiracy theories are very interesting.. the stage is all yours shrimaan Robert Langdon thanos.
Nothing much. I thought their preparation is on full swing. Saara karyakram chal rah hai wha
Bhai log toh dene ayenge he na berozgari itni h bharat me ...harr maa baap ko naukhri chahiye bache ke liye ....... bhai lekin healthcare wese he overburden h aur aese sab karke ye log usko exaggerate kar rhe h
nahi bhai, I had a word with some candidates personally. Many are skipping it. Just read this article. Had insider info- Adm. knew many would skip the exam. This is not a recruitment exam, a full fledged course. And there is rampant corruption in these exams.
Obviously the poor ones who have no choice are the worst sufferers.

Any updates on today's case on final year exams ?
Ya nothing happened. one more date. 14th august. We all know where this is going .
Be prepared ab toh lag raha hai 2lakh/day bhi ho gaya these guys won't stop. SC muted some lawyers, and something like that. The youth is losing faith in judiciary. KCET was 2 hr break. UGC case is 2 week break.

@TONYSTARK90011 yes, it looks like Exams are more imp than life. Whole cast of avengers is here
Okay this may not be of much use, but i got info from a high level employee of Indian Railways that trains not to be functional till 30 September at least, obv except those 200+ spl trains.
Any info obv might change as govt may change the decision accordingly, but for now this is true. Wonder even if they run trains from 1oct, how will everyone ensure reservation in 2 days, general wala dibba not plying. 🤔🤔
Maybe upsc wants candidates to do "chaiya chaiya" on the roof of the train. Also will boost immunity.
Yes..... Exactly.... Exam is on 4th and preparing it well is the only option now
Cool brother....all the best for 4th n 8th!
Yaar kuchh observation hai..aise hi time pass..(i dont comment much on threads though)..
1.anybody here on forum talking about postponement of prelims is being branded as non serious aspirant
2.A poll on telegram of supposedly “serious candidates“ wants the exam to be held on 4th oct.
With all due respect bhai log, postponing the exam is the right thing to do for now. The entire logic would converge to this. I am not talking about the political aspect of it, let the government take care of it. My entire concern is with regard to “ we the aspirants of upsc”. They are two:
1. By what logic do the supposedly “serious candidates” want prelims on 4th oct
2. why are those declared as “non serious” upon talking about exam postponement when by all logic it is the only sane thing to do.
Is it because “ exam hokr rahenge” has become the majority opinion so we are all aligning our own opinion accordingly? Shouldnt there be enough space for counter opinions esp when it is logical as well. At least for the sake of forum leave alone democracy 🤓🤓
100% agree. I don't understand -anyone who is talking about postponement is being branded as a non serious aspirant.
Some random poll on telegram doesn't justify the voice of aspirants. If we are going by this then around 15000 have signed for postponement on change.org
Even if i were to assume that telegram poll is ok. Then wht abt those 37% people?!! They want postponement, you can't just sideline those 37% . I think many are not familiar with the ground reality.
Well let's see there is 1 more meeting of NTA on 25th aug.(not sure abt this) Let's see what they conclude this time. However NTA & Education ministry & our poet of modern India has given a formal statement that exams will be held.
Moreover there was some guy Nair i guess who uploaded the same notice (like it was just edited here n there) before NTA issued the formal statement abt exams being held on the given dates. This news made many rounds and also people questioned abt the Nexus b/w coaching mafias & NTA
Did anyone give any mock with mask on? I did, it was really uncomfortable...2 hrs was a very long time, had to pull down the mask like everyone in the bazaar to breathe. Forget the fogging on spectacles, the mask becomes moist and starts smelling too and it doesn't help if you chew some mouth freshner.
Man have to really get used to this. Or maybe they should arrange seating with a good enough distance.
Views are personal.
@Thanos_ is face shield more comfortable then?.....but will they allow us to use our own masks and protective gear??
you still have to wear mask though.
what does nda SOPs say?
Oh yes, you still have to wear mask and carry a small transparent bottle of sanitizer with you- 50-100ml
irrespective of the SOP i personally think that the discretion lies with the supervisor in the exam hall.....just like they check the type of watch wore by aspirants to determine if the watch is digital or analog..... of course the two situations cannot be compared but i think you got my point....
True....but what an irony...we ourselves cannot follow SOPs, how is everyone so confident about the SOPs
During UP - PCS prelims in dec 2019 at my centre they weren't even allowing anyone a wrist watch. I had to convince them that analog watches are okay, only digital watches are not allowed. In the end they allowed. But yes you are right depends upon the centre, most are lenient.
@MaxBlack try wearing simple surgical two fold mask while giving exam and n95 while commuting to center. SOPs don't explicitly mention that you have to wear n95 mask.
Yes I tried with that only, problems faced i have stated them.
I think if in case jee neet is deferred, then too civils won't be as there is no mention of upsc in these protests. No one is talking about NDA & forget civils. That is toh not mentioned anywhere, hardly 5 days for jee, nothing will happen.
My personal view-These are all man made rules - academic calendar, sessions etc. They are not natural laws that cannot be tweaked acc to exigencies - like earth's rotation, etc.
So point is the govt can do but will not do. They rule with an iron hand. ✋🔩
So whatever it is,Keep preparing for the scheduled date.
I agree with everyone's point.
This doesn't concern UPSC but since many here are giving UP mains....what the hell is UP govt thinking. 22-26 sept mains. just a week before prelims. Weekend lockdown -sat n sunday have been extended till 30th sept. No gatherings, social, religious etc. coz there is a surge in cases. But mains couldn't be held later. For exams they will open everything on weekends. Even last year mains was in oct 2019. The testing in UP is limited to main cities barring a few. What is the sense all of it don't know. The exam spans over 5 days with one day gap- don't know how will poor rural candidates manage this
But if JEE NEET n this UP govt conducting all exams like PCS mains, B.Ed.; the govt will definitely say that it is safe to conduct exams. They have lost it.
BEd and all were 1 day exams like pre....even that BEO was 1 slot exam and around 24 cities.
Well whatever it is, we'll have to adjust.
To all who want the exam to happen when cases soar to 1Lakh+/day,
There are a couple of questions which are bothering me for a while, please help me find the answers.
- Should a husband whose wife will be 5-9 months pregnant on the day of the exam travel 100-150KM and give the exam?
- What about a woman who is pregnant?
Note: Considering that this would be their last attempt.
(Edit)
I hope these questions cross the minds of UPSC or Government or whoever decides the exam dates.
Exactly. They have left the candidates to arrange that of their own.
yes i inquired. You are not allowed to enter. You must have confirmed tickets, but i do not know abt RAC. General coaches obv not plying.
Just look at the hypocrisy.
SG told SC- we have made all the arrangements for the well being n health of the candidates....blah blah n whatever mr. pokhriyal said about 'trusting the authorities'
Then they are already making the candidates sign the undertaking that if anything happens to them, the candidates would be solely responsible for it...
@balwintejas ye FLTs kaun si nayi bimaari aayi market me??
Full length test unlike sectional- jo subject ya specific area focused hote hai
@RonWeasley does your mask has breathing valve ?
Breathing valve also doesn't help much though a little better. I think I will have to remove the mask or slide it down. No option, cannot risk prelims.
hello people I need some advice,
This is mylast attempt (penultimate)at UPSCand I have UP(uttar pradesh) PSC mains from22 to 26th Sept just 4 days left.(25th is off) I am very confused about it.
Should I skip it or not -the UP PSc mains 2019.Obviously I haven't studies for UP mains exclusively, studying only for prelims right now since this is my last. Means even if i were to appear for UP mains it would be for the sake of appearing right now. I have cleared UPSC prelims before. Friends and family are of the view that i should appear for UP mains as well. You all can relate how everyone says that it is UP mains, you will sail through and all that.
What advice would you give. I am nervous.
I know it will sound very stupid from a person who has this and only attempt in hand, but as i mentioned friends and family want me to give as I have now a guilt that if I leave the mains I would commit a blunder, but another question lingers what if I can't perform in prelims then all these years will go in vain.
All views are welcome brothers and sisters.
PS- anyone here appearing for UP mains?
@Shubz @mehuifs @AzadHindFauz (and anyone not mentioned) thank you for the insights . All the best to everyone!
This is the best forum I have come across in these years.
I have cleared prelims 4 times so far and this is my last attempt.
But never I found myself mentally unprepared for prelims like this year. I really don't Know what I did so far.
Corona + isolation from past 5 months especially during lockdown and unlock period 1 from march to beginning of July as I live alone(i ate processed food during these months to sustain myself) + no library + last attempt pressure totally messed me up.
In past five months I haven't gone out anywhere except to get milk or to get tea/sutta.
Imagine facing heat of last attempt and fear that if I get infected then everything will be ruined along with my attempt.
Yes, I have to blame myself for not able to fully cope up with the change but man there is seriously a limit to what someone can handle. SC did gave me hope but it added layer of confusion on already too much stressed mind that too just few days before exam.
If UPSC didn't notify about this relaxation before this year prelims then It will be big middle finger to all those people who have their last attempt this year.
System and rules exist for human sake and not that humans exist because of system and rules.
Even our constitution comes up with amendment provision so that it can be modified as per time and circumstances but a recruitment exam can't be merged next year or postponed until situation becomes more healthy because we have some laid down rules to follow lol
Making system and rules too rigid just defeat it's purpose.
Anyway, just taking out my frustration early morning lol
Time to study 😑😑
Same here brother.
Moreover I don't understand if a person misses this attempt, her/his attempt won't be counted waise bhi (and can appear next year if the age limit is not breached), but many of us are having this compulsory last attempt due to age limit. So we have to appear- no choice."chahe 7 samundar bhi kyu na paar karna ho".There is confusion everywhere. Also there is no official statement by UPSC. So compulsory last attempters do not have the choice to skip I think. Hardly 3 days left. Whatever decision will be taken I think will do justice to everyone.
Don't know whether they will provide extra attempt to those who are appearing and have reached the age limit this year-? or only to those who are skipping.
@kochikaame That's very kind of you, Thankyou so much:)
See your name is all is well. The best and quickest way to keep calm (meditate is). Put your hand on your heart and say All is well. (3 idiots wala)
And that is true the heart is very afraid and it fools us. Just calm your heart and everything will be fine. Trust me on this.
@Badluram Passage Talks about how Risk taking behavior of people connects to Money . Entire passage revolves around Not taking point Not taking is not good,So author suggests to take Risk of investment rather than idle and defensive attitude...So correct Option is B...
I don't know what the original article says. How can one assume/guess the verbatim. Out of an article if you give some lines it changes the meaning of the passage. Moreover they specifically mention it" Your answers to these items should be based on the passages only"
in past also there have been variations in verbatim or not. Let's see what answers they give. However from this passage A seems if i go only on the passage and not on the article. Distribute your wealth
