@Charlie We have not yet reached the peak because of the lockdown.But continued lockdown is not a sustainable solution, and as soon as the restrictions will be relaxed, the cases will start increasing exponentially.We have seen the same thing in last 2-3 days when the daily count has been making new highs every day.
Bro whether we have reached peak or not ...what are chances of upsc delaying
@Tokyo Bro just ponder over these facts0. Corona cases have risen in the past 3 days. They may rise further due to relaxations.a. IIT, Neet, Cbse exams are also important but are delayed.b. What if corona cases on 5 th June are detected and traced from Upsc centre. Questions will be asked.c. My father works in education department of certain state. I asked him about exam centres. He told that they are now quarantine centers.d. Why Capf paper, due for August was deferred ?e. Trains, buses and airways are not open for 100 % use.F. No one from UPSc debunked the Prelims postponement theory, post Minister's interview.
Yes...but point is when will upsc clarify its stance
@Tokyo Bhai Shanti mili mereko ab, aapko mili kya 😁
Mili bhai.....
@Tokyo well! mid july means on 19th july or 26th july (considering 2 sunday ), 19th you have JEE, 26th you have NEET
Bhai...don't underestimate UPSC.
in the early morning dream ....i saw upsc declaring 23 aug as the pre date.....centres can b re- filled in the next 30 days ..it is compulsory to fill home state......and those who are in quarantine period on 23 aug....for such candidates special rooms will be arranged at centre...
Such ma ka pyaar u cannot expect from govt. Organization
@Tokyo bhai 15 aug ke around hi boldo !
Haha...aaj pata lag he jaye ga .
@Milankovitch I don't remember the date but in 2nd half of December, he said that results are prepared and would be out by a specific date. It came nearly a month later.
Yeh baat bilkul sahi....I second this
@Tokyo bhai tumhi toh bol rhe the july ???
Bhai hunch hai...pakka kis ko pata hai....bhagwan ko bhi kal pata laga ga
@Tokyo Itna Bekar hunch?
Haha...hunch is beyond any judgement...
@Tokyo Arre 10000 cases aa rahe h. Early July peak predicted h. Live with corona me “live” word p bhi Dhyan de de tokyo. Kya chahte ho bhai !!
Ok bhai dhyan deta hun

Still 2 months to go..so upsc won't change now
HOw would they ensure do gaz ki duri when people line up to enter the school/center? Plus compulsory frisking takes place. One person frisks all.
It makes no sense at all.
Yes that frisking guy could be the super spreader. Yesterday I heard on the news that govt. is making some population control plan. I think this is it! Our lives are in danger
Bhai october tak almost sabh normal ho jaye ga....u go and see road in delhi ...full jampacked hai....still we are living in illusion exam will be postponed...it will not ....I can say because I am the part of admin

Mauke ka faayda uthana koi hum aspirants se seekhe! :P
Bhai ..upsc barely bow down to such pressures....had there been Rahul gandhiat helm of affairs then may be it was possible . Example 2 extra attempts ... NDA will not touch upsc ..
well a little disagreement here..bjp has not respected autonomy of independent institutions.if anything there has been further erosion of institutional autonomy..classic example is judiciary..so if rahul gandhi can make upsc give 2 extra attempts , then bjp for sure can make UPSC postpone these exams for a few months because of pandemic...par mudda upsc ka nahi sarkar ka hi hai..they are in no mood of further delaying anything..
Bhai...i hope u r not a veteran...i experienced csat row in Rajinder nagar....2014 mein sirf 10 questions kam kiye the

How was VisionIAS Abhyas test today?Broadly found the questions relevant.
Difficulty level did seem high, but it seems that's how Vision makes all its papers.
Found some modern history questions frivolous but that's just me. Let's see what the others have to say.
did they give solutions ?? did they provide marks???? in this abhyas test
4000+ cases in Delhi yesterday, highest ever in last 2 months
Bhai it is a new normal
Sidetracking from the discussion above -
What do you all think of this post?

I kind of agree with him. I gave my first 2 attempts with full time preparation but I joined a job in January this year and now giving my final attempt along with it.
I think it has helped me go through the crisis period smoothly and also made me feel more confident in general. Also, I believe I can look at other career paths as well now.
So I suppose it makes sense to look up for other opportunities after one or two serious attempts.
This I also realised after my 3rd attempt.
@Tokyo Found it on the easier side. Of course few questions were bouncers but overall felt a bit easy to me. But only marks will tell, maybe I fell for some traps.
same here...it was easier than vision....
@LeoMessi I don't know. I have joined the group link that is mentioned in comments. Based on group discussions, Global Governance Initiative will start accepting applications soon for Round 2. Round 1 is already closed. :(https://www.linkedin.com/groups/10543529/
What is this global governance initiative
^ if this fellowship period is beyond 1.5 year ,I would suggest going for mba.... for upsc aspirant not looking for corporate jobs irma specializes in rural mba , highly oriented towards something which an upsc aspirant would connect with( avg pay is lesser than tier 1 schools obviously, but probably at par with tier 2)then ofc there is tiss with multiple courses ( HR course stands out ..at par with xlri )if anyone is looking for an exit from upsc he/sheshould take a year workex and then go for mba/higher stuff.. post such fellowships anyway either one has to plunge in for upsc or go for higher studies or full time job..

Bhai how reliable is csat mantra....getting 89 according to them
Laex CSAT key is ok with arthimetic portionBhai please share key???
La Ex UPSC Prelims CSAT Key.pdfThanks bro
@Howzthejosh there passages r wrong...privacy questions, foreign capital volatility,gene editing
Even 15902 question ..answer is straightforward 3 ...they have said 3 or 4 ??? Your take on it?
@Howzthejosh there passages r wrong...privacy questions, foreign capital volatility,gene editing
don't know about passages answer (i didn't attempted single passage)
arthimatic part most of them are correct when compared to other institutes key
15902? Answer 3 or 4
Lol. They got that 1.27272727 question wrong. All they had to do was put the options in calculator and cross check. And they still got it wrong. And on top of that they declare that their answer key will have a +- 5% variability.Any reliable key for RC of any big coaching except shankar...shankere cast answers r crap
Now no key for paper 2 on shankarias site..may be they will correct and put new key...waiting for rauias key to come...seems most apt...specially last time
not to be intrusive, but are u among those with good score in gs1 and low in gs2? just curious?
I m getting 72.5 from shankar ..but above 125 in paper 1 ...but shit scared about my csat .. attempted only 43 . ...so looking for keys
@Tokyo you can refer to examrace videos on yt for cross verification. quant is max correct. plus quant can be self verified as well i feel. as for comprehension i dont think there is a reliable key.
btw 125+ is extremely good. how much are those in your social circle mostly scoring? and your take on cutoff?
Bhai 95-100 k beech mein cutoff lag raha hai...baki pata nahi....issue with vidoes is that there is no consensus in many questions in passages
Guys is it enough to check marks of CSAT from career launcher and csat mantra? I have done all passages and some maths qs getting 77 in both the keys still scared. Shall I continue being scared or start preparing for mains? Plz help guys i am damn tensed.
I m in same boat ...these passages answers are giving me anxiety now ...
@sunnykumarroy658377 Checked from 3 keys and max discrepancy in all 3 keys is for 4 passages. Basically all the maths ones are 100 % correct so i see no chance of losing in that. There are 2 questions jisme 2 keys se mera answer match ho rha hai and ek key mein different. By and large 2 -3 passages mein difference lag raha hai. Har key se calculate karke meri gaadi 75 above hai still scared.I have attempted more passages than reasoning and maths ones but maths mein sahi hai saare bas yeh dar hai passage mein koi landmark discrepancy na aajaye joh 3 keys mein nahi aa rhi hai phir bhi kuch guide kardo yaar.
Same situation hai meri...75 and woh passages ko galat maan liya hai jismein more than one hai. Par tension hai bahut
@sunnykumarroy658377 Sorry bhai .. asset allocation -B, private investment-B since 4th statement is incorrect, urban local body-A . These seems correct according to me.
Bhai pusa arhar wale bhi bta do??
@Tokyo Which keys are u relying on ?
I have every key available till now...shankar, nextias, csat mantras, youtube videos and minimum score is 72 if I consider any deviance as incorrect ..but my heart is still scared ...so want some institute which I think is credible.
@Tenacious What have u marked in the bank credit ones and solid waste management ones?
Solid waste - I have marked C but one institute says a
Bank credit - C ..es par no deviance from any institute
@Tokyo Career launcher check karo! I think its better compared to shankar baaki toh upsc knows it all.
Bhai CL se 3 sahi hota hai par solid waste management gets wrong ...so score around 81 according to CL
I am also in same situation. I think Rau's will be more authentic. If you are getting 70+ from all keys then you probably should not worry. I am also getting 75 considering all controversial passages as wrong.@Tokyo Which keys are u relying on ?
I have every key available till now...shankar, nextias, csat mantras, youtube videos and minimum score is 72 if I consider any deviance as incorrect ..but my heart is still scared ...so want some institute which I think is credible.
Yes even I m waiting for rauias key. .par csat mein margin mein aana se bahut tension hogayi...socha na tha...csat can give. Dreadful nights
@Tokyo Both bank credit and soild WM, answer is "c".....no contoversy on these 2 questions..
Bhai CL has given A for solid waste management
@sunnykumarroy658377 Bro, in the ULB question, I feel the answer should be A only. The passage has been picked from this articleAnd the author here has stressed upon charging the consumers.
Bhai I have also marked a ..but many institutions are giving b
@Tokyo same situation ,scoring 140 in gs 1 and have messed up in csat....previously i had nver scored below but this time , i m paying for my overconfidence..
How much are u scoring bro
Also for Right to Privacy wala passage, the answer can be A- 1 and 2 only. There were different answers in different coaching keys where some were marking 2 only as the answer but this article from which passage was lifted clearly talks about role of State to have institutions to ensure Right to Privacy
https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/privacy-in-the-digital-age/article19446279.ece
Bhai es bhi galat maana hai....though I have marked 2 only ..seems A is the answer
Regarding Asset Allocation question, the most appropriate answer should be A.
It was taken from this article and focus is clearly on diversification to minimize risks
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/asset-allocation-is-key-to-good-investing/articleshow/56176386.cms
thnx yaar, its answer is certainly distrubiting wealth, whole pasaage or article isa bout divserification of risk(portfolio)..
Bhai I have also marked A i.e distribution par yeh institutes ..even CL which is mainly for CAT gives answer B ...
@sunnykumarroy658377 Toh phir kya tension hai? Maine 3 doubtful count kiye kyuki 2 cl galat bata raha hai lekin shankar and mantra k hisaab se woh sahi hai toh balance ho gaya.. mera 77 oint kuch hai ...tum toh better situation mein ho still what do u think kitna vary hoga CL ka RC?
Bhai inclusive agriculture wale ka kya answer hai?? D option or c??
Can anyone upload CSAT Mantra answer key??
@Tokyo Inclusive agri growth jismein option hai u mean 2 qs ka second qs wala? I have marked d - inc growth is key to reduce poverty in near future.
Bhai es par controversy hai ..c k saath
@Tokyo Inclusive agri growth jismein option hai u mean 2 qs ka second qs wala? I have marked d - inc growth is key to reduce poverty in near future.
Bhai es par controversy hai ..c k saath
I have also marked D ....but is this also controversial ..as C bhi rajias video says c ....your take??
Have u considered it right or controversial??
What can be the answer of the CSAT passage about Education and Economic Freedom?I have marked 3only ...but answer some have given d (123) and one gave 1 only. ..
how can be only 1 as option...passage is no where saying about higher education...but coaching r giving 1 only as answer....god know what they smoke...
Whatever they smoke --- they have given a sleepless night yesterday inspite of scoring way above average in gs1

IMO...EXCEPT 2 ..RICH CITIES ALL R CORRECT......it shoud have been user charge..whole passage is about finance and not even single mention of efficiency even indirectly....still coachings r giving B
Bhai IMO kya hai???
@Tokyo Tokyo raus ki key aa gayi hai usmein and Cl k passage mein zada diff nahi hai check karlo
Bhai woh passage jo galat hai woh maine galat he maane hua hai .
@Tokyo Tumhare kitne passage har key mein alag aa rahe hain?
Bhai I attempted 23 from RC ...above is the list I shared for 9 non controversial questions ....I have considered these 5 questions wrong
1. Distribute your wealth ( I marked a but some say b)
2. Private investment ( I marked b but some say A )
3. Urban local body user charge ( I marked a but many say b)
4. Pusa arhar ( I marked c -2 and 3 but some say d or a )
5. Solid waste management ( c but CL and Rau said a )
Therefore, relying on foreign investment in the long term is not an economically sound policy. Policies must be undertaken to revive domestic private investment. The lowering of interest rates may not suffice in the current situation of aggregate demand deficiency, a consequence of weak foreign demand as well as poor domestic rural demand because of two consecutive monsoon failures. One long-term solution is substantial public investment in education, health and environment, which will not only improve India’s socio-economic condition but also crowd in domestic private investment.
Verbatim from hindu ...answer is 1,3 and 4 for private investmentAlthough my answer is wrong...but this is correct way to find answer rather relying in cra answer by coachings...it hold true for other passage also..
And for people will invest in education - answer is C (3 only ) . ....just google it...u get the answer ....these coaching institutes couldn't even do that .

@Aurang_mirasudar Excellent work brother! I'd be thankful if you could clear one doubt I have. In question on malnutrition, the article you have mentioned talks about "delay of marriage, breastfeeding, safe drinking water and vaccination" as solutions. Couldn't find monitoring of PDS by Union Govt anywhere. So, don't you think answer should beB) 2, 3, 4 and 5instead of A) 1, 2, 3 and 4 ?
Yes same doubt ...I have also marked B 2,3,4 and5
I am already out so please take this view as obejctive view as i have no stakes involved .How can we guess the crux of whole article by viewing few statements from it .People who have searched all articles have done a excellent job but if upsc is assuming that people can get the assumption of passage by reading it ,which is just a few line from the article it is certainly a foolish assumption itself .upsc need to be more serious about selecting candidates for highest buersratic offices of country.U right bro..the problem lies in framing question...the question starts with assumption...which means we have to consider ,what going in mind of author...which makes things difficult ..the more analytical approach would be to see 2019 RC answer from official answer N then reading original article..
Bhai jo yeh article mein hai...should now we treat it as final ..or abhi there is controversy regarding them....????
It has increased my marks to 85 from current 75. I still think that 3-4 passages are a bit wrong like that Asset allocation, malnutrition etc. But I think I will keep running around in circles by checking different answer keys as in every key I am getting 70+ so I should be safe. Should start mains prep asap.I have a score of 72 -75 in CSAT from various keys and above 110 in GS paper-1..Chances of me clearing CSAT?Giving me sleepless nights..U can check revised key of shankar ..they have updated csat key...score will increase .
Same here but articles given by@Aurang_mirasudar are real source....I cross checked with 2019 paper ..by looking into articles ..and upsc takes answers from that articles....assumption is first line verbatim around the image....so if u want to check answers which upsc will give...it is written in articles provided by aurang.

@Aurang_mirasudar Excellent work brother! I'd be thankful if you could clear one doubt I have. In question on malnutrition, the article you have mentioned talks about "delay of marriage, breastfeeding, safe drinking water and vaccination" as solutions. Couldn't find monitoring of PDS by Union Govt anywhere. So, don't you think answer should beB) 2, 3, 4 and 5instead of A) 1, 2, 3 and 4 ?
Question number -13 ..dams ----mentioned in article -----The tendency to hold the maximum amount of water in our reservoirs while ignoring the high risk involved in doing so can be attributed to our over-dependence on hydel projects to produce electricity. Therefore, it is time to think of non-conventional sources for electricity generation such as solar, wind and tidal power......
So option 1 and 2 ....but every institute gave 2 only
Pta nhi kya karu Kuch siamang nhi aa raha hai ...
Dil bahut dukhi hai being a history graduate I have neglected csat again
GS -100+
Csat -55
Koi hai meri category mai bhi ..
@ 24 unemployed being from humble background I again failed because of casualty in Csat ..
It was my 3 attempt bus ab jeene ko icha nhi hai
Bhai refer to@Aurang_mirasudar kwybfor passages ...don't rely on institutes for passages...they are wrong ...I cross checked with 2019 key...last year was getting 74 with institute key and now checked with upsc 2019 official key -5 passage questions got correct...
it is either 3 or 123 for dams monsoon RC
but since author emphasizes only on creating space prior to monsoon.. will second option be wrong..hence 3 only
For statement 3
The world over, dams are constructed mainly for the purposes of irrigation, power generation, and flood control. While the first two roles are acknowledged, the role of dams in flood control has always been underestimated. It is unfortunate that in both irrigation and hydel projects, flood control is completely ignored.
For statement 2
However, it is unfortunate that the maximum amount of water is stored in reservoirs even before the close of the monsoon, only to ensure greater electricity generation and irrigation.
(Note risk is due to electricity generation and irrigation both...not hydropower alone)
hence most likely answer is 3 only here
Also the overall crux of article is “
There should be space for greater storage of water in reservoirs before the onset of monsoon
But the line 'before the close of the monsoon' also imply 'during monsoon' it must not be fully filled and the article also says about over dependence on hydel power means (Option a) is correct. So left with (option d)i.e.1,2 and 3
Yes 123 answer hoga
Wait..i am compiling the most likely answers for Reading comprehension...went Through all articles again

Yes thanks bhai.
@Aurang_mirasudar ..man your passages seem right ...last year has it worked for u.. did u also check from coaching institutes key?
@Rakhmabai I have marked A.
I attempted 39 questions from CL and shankar getting 26 correct in both. To qualify I need 4 more passages to get correct. Kuch question CL ke alag Hain shankar se.
I relied on right 2 privacy(d) ,asset allocation(a), fdi volatile(a), pds(d),dam(c), gas based economy 2nd part (a)
I need 4 in my favor in these questions
Asset allocation is A.....refer to@Aurang_mirasudar articles ...
Right to privacy is A
Refer to links he provided.. I also checked today very useful...verbatim uthaya hai bhai
Bhai Pura 1000 words k articles me or only 50 words k passages me answer change nahi hote Kya. I mean in newspapers articles context we can understand by reading 1000 words but it us very difficult to have same context in 50 word passage.
Bhai u can cross check with last year papers and Google the articles

Last year question on malnutrition and polysaccharide something..every institute has given c ..upsc gave D....Google the passage..u get article on indian express...image k neeche line hai...related to policy which is the option D ..and finally answer D ...I did all the research after@Aurang_mirasudar articles. ..now I m convinced...and those questions u are right in 2020 csat also ..u can google and check ..u r right as it is picked up verbatim
@Rakhmabai Please don't rely on CL answer keys. Even I got panicky when I checked. I cross-checked their previous Csat answerkeys (2018 and 2019) with the UPSC answer key. They mostly get 5-6 RCs wrong.For, Asset allocation- have marked B( though now I believe that the answer is A)FDI-BDam: DDidn't attempt the question on gas based economy.
Asset allocation - why cant it be b . In the passage it was mentioned people prefer to keep money idle,unproductive but safe fearing risks in investment.so they should invest to generate wealth.But im 100 % sure that upsc will go with A following previous trends.

C for yourself....line below the the image...verbatim option ....option A
@Aurang_mirasudar - did u find answer of economic liberalisation passage...I also checked link provided by you but didnot c the options ..please tell ..
@Tokyo its there ..read again
Yes...I get option A in first , b in 2nd ...but u said C and D ..that is y asking bro
Yes got it ....read it before...but was confused where they have written on investment and implementation both ...
Yeah... I marked A. It was implied in passage that "everything won't go wrong at the same time"
Bhai this is heights...forumias has entered new era today.....
- According to Constitution of India, A person who eligible to vote can be made a minister in a state for six months even if he/she is not a member of the legislature of that state
- According to the representation of people act, 1951, a person convicted of a criminal offence and sentenced to imprisonment for at least five years is permanently disqualified from contesting an election even after his release from prison.
Which of the above given statements is/are correct?
(a) 1 only
(b) 2 only
(c) Both 1 and 2
(d) Neither 1 nor 2
Answer: A
(If one overthinks the answer could be ‘D’ – overthinking that Voter eligibility is not mentioned in the Constitution and Age 25 is not mentioned. As you know UPSC doesn’t reward overthinking. Here the question is related to checking the concept rather than fact)
S1: Not quite technically true, since one who is eligible to vote isn’t necessarily eligible to be a Minister (for e.g. on grounds of age). But, since UPSC has used the term a voter “can” and not “every voter”, S1 is correct since many voters who meet the eligibility to be a Member of Parliament can be made a Minister.
For e.g. here are few correct and incorrect statements:
CORRECT: A voter CAN become a minister for six months.
CORRECT: A voter eligible to become a Member of Parliament CAN become a minister for six months.
CORRECT: Every voter that is eligible to become a Member of Parliament CAN become a minister for six months.
First statement is only part of a larger correct statement, still true.
INOCRRECT: EVERY voter can become a minister for six months.
U should have mentioned the source i.e insights.
Even in drishti ias video sir said...upsc won't go for micro thing...broadly they look..therefore answer would be A
@Tokyo around 92
Which key man?
@Harcourtian You're right dear. But this is not expected from a reputed institute.
Bhai ..agar AAP unki pehli key dekhte csat ki toh "reputed " word use bhi nhi krte
+1
@Rambo93 I can feel. 112 from Shankar. 48 attempted in csat. 13 sure wrong max 16 can be wrong. 3 ques having doubt in RC
Bhai kaunse doubtful hai???
Meri alag hi samasya ho gayi hai. Answersheet me count koya tha to 79 bubbles the, aur question paper me 83 dikh rahe. Samajh me nahi aa raha ki sahi wale miss huwe hain ya galat wale? Aur naye calculation se marks me ab aur variation ta gayi. Ab 91-102 ghoom raha marks. Khararnak anxiety hai, considering it’s my last attempt.
I am already 31. Was in a well paying job. Quit kiya in 2018, to dedicate more time to preparation, after successive close failures in prelims. Score 114 in prelims last year. Couldn’t clear mains.
And this year again, I am stuck at God knows where.
Have rejected good job offers from
abroad last year for preparation.
And when I quit my job, and took this course, people close to me abandoned me, including my fiance.
I have paid a huge price for this journey, and cannot recall when I slept for 6 hours last time.
And after all this, UPSC throws this lottery selection system paper.
I question all rhe wisdoms now like “Hardwork pays off”, “Sacrifices pay off”, and “Upsc sets paper for selecting civil servants”.
I lost 4 years, a job, family life, fiance, self confidence, socially vibrant life, and trust in the system.
I will do something good for sure, but the dream of be the part of policy making, and implementation is at God’s mercy now.
Sorry, I made it a sad story. But there is a reason for it.
Those who are reading it, must know that this exam is not just about hardwork, but about strong luck factor too. When all things are in place, then only you will get through. It’s our duty to work hard, but that alone won’t get you through. There are things beyond that too. Much like Nepolean. He was not just brilliant, but extremely lucky too, and he always made sure he chose his commanders who were invariably lucky people.
Anyways fingers crossed.
I wish luck to everyone. Everyone has worked hard here.
Bhai have u marked side by side ....??
My 2 cents with regards to cutoff
Last year (2019) Everyone knew the cutoff was going to be 95-104 , thats A range of around 10 marks, Shankar ias prediction was 99-102 i.e. A range of 4 marks. In short they covered the 40% range of probable cutoff and still got it wrong😂
which factors can lead to increase in Cut off this year
Decrease in vacancies - Yes
Tukkafication - No!!! There were many questions the answers to which was not a simple D. Also in 2018,2019 you had similar Dfication sentiments running around
which Factors can lead to decrease in cutoff
1.The toughest csat in recent history . According to a survey 46% of students are either failing or in borderline in paper 2
2. Lack of sheer number of absolute sitters.
3. Almost 2/3rd of Questions had multiple statements . People didnt had the luxury of time in this paper
4. Inflation - People despite getting a 100% conformity that their answer is not the best answer are still counting the marks for that question. This leads to overall inflation in market
5. Last year 40% of people on Telegram posted their scores tobe above 100 , the sample was 12000 votes. This year 40% of people on telegram claiming their score to be above 95
The overall cutoff has to be - 95 (+-1)
What is borderline case in csat....?? Even a person with 80 is also borderline...since noone is sure of passages
@Tokyo A border line case is one in which a swing of 1-3 Official Answers can make or break your chances
Which according to you is the closest key to upsc in csat bro
Vajiram csat key. Few mistakes in RC
Bhai what do u mean by few ...4 toh sidhe he galat diya hai.....
@Equalizer that’s what I’m saying. It does not change.UPSC ‘strategically’ gives only those paragraphs that capture the entire essence of the article.One more reason why UPSC relies on the whole article for RC answers is because it wants to avoid students contesting their answers. If UPSC itself decides the answers to RCs, there’ll be no uniformity and its too much discretion in their hands. But if UPSC shifts the burden to the article author, it’s much easier.And we all know how conservative UPSC is. It does not take chances. In 2018, UPSC said Aadhaar could be connected to ‘any electronic device.’ We all know that’s patently wrong but since Nandan Nilekani himself said it in an article, it’s right for UPSC!
Han bhai ...that is y aurang_mirasadar key is most apt
@Equalizer Bro instead of claiming this,you could have gone through last year RC and I find what UPSC has given in the answer, they are verbatim from the whole article though based on assumptions and rational inference.
Bhai ...this is how I also checked....last year ek question tha on monosaccharide soemthing...uska answer D hai as per upsc and everyone has given C in their key
@Tokyo Logically also why would UPSC make its own answers when it can directly pick it from the article, as we are seeing they are word to word same, just that they have proof if anyone starts claiming their answer is correct, because in RC everyone can have a different inference.
Han bhai .closest to aurang key is ksg . Fir shankar

If indeed essence does not change, no need to look at the whole article. We can still arrive at the answer by reading only the comprehension.
Yes bhai...article se sirf we get to know the right answer ...no doubt u can arrive only by reading the passage....jo question theek hua hai..woh passage parh kar he hua hai
Hello guys need your help.
I am getting 102 as per shankar key considering AI as wrong, didn't attempt rakhmabai and desarkatha.
I have 90+ in csat.
I am getting the same marks when apply vajiram, vision and toppers key.
If the chronolgy answer is wrong as per the above debate, I will get 99.5. I belong to OC.
What are my chances of clearing?
90 In csat with which key ..how many did u attempt in RC?
Very tensed
Scoring 112 in GS
But in CSAT probably on border
Nextias- 67.75
Vajiram- 71.75
Shankar-71.75
Pata nahi kya hoga??
Bhai log clear hoga kya?
Last attempt 😚🤔
There are 9 comprehension wrong answers according to shankar key in 2018 and it was 5 in 2019 ( as some of answers in shanakar key gave two answers, one of them turned out to be correct ) when compared with final key. So it's not yet conclusive about RCs and their answers. Abhi toh consider you are in the race. 3 questions in your favour will get you almost 10 marks. (2.5+0.8) *3
Bhai yeh data kaha se aaya 9 and 5 wala....

Compared them with upsc final keys. Most of the assumption questions went wrong with this key.
Han bhai
Very tensed
Scoring 112 in GS
But in CSAT probably on border
Nextias- 67.75
Vajiram- 71.75
Shankar-71.75
Pata nahi kya hoga??
Bhai log clear hoga kya?
Last attempt 😚🤔
There are 9 comprehension wrong answers according to shankar key in 2018 and it was 5 in 2019 ( as some of answers in shanakar key gave two answers, one of them turned out to be correct ) when compared with final key. So it's not yet conclusive about RCs and their answers. Abhi toh consider you are in the race. 3 questions in your favour will get you almost 10 marks. (2.5+0.8) *3
Bhai yeh data kaha se aaya 9 and 5 wala....

Han bhai
Aurang ki key seems most apt...but shankarias revised their key so did nextias...which has 21-22 answers similar to aurangs key
@Tokyo aurang ka keys kaha pe milega?

Bhai so don't need to worry...aurang key has come a big savior for many
@Udit_pathak even i answered according to what is mentioned in passage only, lekin yaha toh log pure article ko pakad k baithe hai and finding ans out of it. if upsc picks up ans in whole article context i am out
Bhai check CL key for passages
@Daarubaaj I came to know about this when i was giving my state services mains this year, in the question they said Critically analyse the given statement and in its Hindi translation they said Alochana kijiye/ Alochanatmak tarike se vishleshan kijiye, toh bhai wahi se meko idea hua, rest about the question, i have marked A but considering it dicey, lets see
Cities at crossroads: Can’t sweep it under the carpet
The challenge of garbage is set to grow. Solid waste management plans need to be implemented alongside maintenance of drainage and sewerage networks.
@Tokyo Bro i have already considered it wrong, i just tried to justify why Vajiram, CL and Rau gave A as the answerMujhe bas Malnutrition ka B aur dam wale ka D chahiye, that's it.
Shankar ne C diya hai
@Tokyo Shankar ka galat hai, D is too obvious to miss in Dam wala ques, even just by reading the given passage you can answer
Shankar ka kya galat hai bhai??? I am taking only about solid waste management question
@Tokyo Solid waste ka i can't say but , most likely C hi hoga, i was talking about Dam wala question
Dam toh bhai mera galat hai
vision csat key..almost same for passage..except in 85% they gave 2,4..and in 2 passages multiple options .(but we now know the verbatim ones) :).
the stick question given as 1 foot ...(they showrd also how 0.25 wont be the answer)
Bhai ...after ur key...this key seems genuine and correct...though urs seems foolproof
Need to get 36 to clear it
22 quant and need 14 more rc.
Getting 14 correct with Aurang key , vision, shanar, csat mantra (15) , KSG
And only 10 with CL.
What are my chances? I know its only upsc that is final. But still I'm anxious of this nightmare.
I am getting 12 RC Correct with all the keys.
What are the changes of circle and square question being C? Raus, CL, next ias, Ksg has given it C
Bhai aurang key theek hogi ...sabh ki key mein kuch kuch galat hai ..aurang key is only right bro
@Aurang_mirasudar I hope ur key comes out to be correct ...all hopes on ur answers
Bhai many people abhabe hopes on aurangs key ....
Considering economic liberalisation first part answer as C
And Dam wala questions ka Answer D both as true I guess am safe in CSAT..... Aurang bhai ki key seems very authentic Direct from the passage...else are very confusing....
In 85% agriculture wala passage me first part ka Answer pata nahi kya hoga?
Maine uska C mara hai but almost all keys has given B as an answer except Aurang bhai key se uska C hai....so my result would be decided by these 3 questions...hope so atleast 2 sahi hone chahiye according to Upsc key.....
Your agriculture question will get definitely right bro...though I have marked b
@ShivamS it was buried 10 days backitself...except for the fact people dnt believe anything even with logics and facts accompanied
Bhai log ab yeh debate finally settled samjhe...because I think vision has also given reasons why one option is correct or incorrect.
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.
I think it's like this :
1. Criticial inference / message / summary of the passage can be arrived and the answers given are from the RC itself.
2. Questions in which assumptions are asked might be taken up from the article
If you see and try to get a pattern most of the coaching institutes have different keys with assumption questions and almost 12-13 answers are not debatable with 6 keys , they are clear and same.
Coaching keys are most of the time wrong on assumption based RC, In such questions you can't look for RC and must look article. What's the point of asking for assumption if it's explicitly mentioned in RC itself . To substantiate further Check shankar's keys in 2018 and 19 . In 2018,nine of their RC's are wrong and 6 of them are assumption based ones only.
In the 2019 paper, there are 14 assumption based RCs out of 30, please show me any two RCs which could not have been answered correctly on the basis of the given passage. Even if the assumptions have been lifted directly from the original article, they can still be answered based on the passage if one thinks logically. There may be an error in one or two questions. I attempted all the RCs in 2019 and out of assumption based only 1 went wrong (the food varieties one) as per official UPSC key.
There is no need of getting scared of RCs and indulging in overthinking and guessing what might have been written in the original article in future CSAT exams. Choose the option which you find correct based on the passage. If you think logically, at the max 1 or 2 will go wrong.
Cheers!
Have u seen visionias key bro....what are their chances of rc to get correct?
then amrabad has even more core critical area 2166 than sundarbans 1330 which quoted.hence sundarbans is ruled outhttps://www.google.com/amp/s/telanganatoday.com/amrabad-tiger-reserve-vulnerable-to-habitat-degradation-says-report/amp
Aurang bhai...have u seen visionias key....kitna sahi lagta hai bhai
@Tokyo seems correct except some pssages which vary from articles.ab lets stop RC..kinda fed up of RC discussion 🙂focus on next
Bhai kaunsa pasages please tell bro
@Tokyo there are two passages that are differing from the answers he provided. 85% agriculture one and economic liberalisation one. When you look at the articles the answers aurang provided seems appropriate but when you look solely at the passage the answer vision provided seems correct too. So it's upto you to trust him when he says the answers from articles are correct. Personally I think the answers aurang provided with articles are correct.
Yes..my brain says aurang is right but heart says may be visionias is right because my answer matches with vision...
@Aurang_mirasudar may be true but not mine case , I marked b in biotechnology and d in renewable energy , and saying other answer are correct , may be u will digest now , rest . Signing off
Bhailog ...visionias ki key aana k baad I think all doubts should subside
Bhai what do u think of 1 foot or .25 foot question ..is vision right on this...your reply will be highly appreciated broMere bolne se kya hoga bhai 😇.
In one angle it looks like 0.25
but in someother viewpoint, it looks 1 feet
so cant be anyof both
the question lining should have been better i think
Ok bro...par kahibse verbatim hoga yeh bhi??
I don't want to indulge myself in RC controversies but It seems vision key is reliable.
Had anyone checked drishti keys
They are saying B for wetland.
Bhai drishti ias key baht galat hai ...wetland ka b ho nahi sakta ...engineering was used as verb ..and in option noun...toh hai ...ab kaha kehe drishti ko
@VivekanandS Har Baar hota hai 3-4 questions. Coaching waale phir BHI Nahi sudharte
Last year avg 7 wrong. This year also many would be wrong.
Visionias k 2017 csat mein 6 questions galat the .
@Tokyo mere experience SE vision aur vajiram me 1st time CSAT key nikali hai.2017 me vision me nikali thi kya?
