[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

pizzzasaid

Relax people, Prelims will be postponed. We are currently facing an unprecedented situation where the whole world has been shut down. We won't see prelims happening until public transport, lodging/boarding and restaurants are back to normal functioning. And that will take some-time considering the limit of our medical infrastructure at this moment. 


The reason why UPSC is not making any decisions right now is because it has no idea about what will happen after 3rd of May. It is waiting for the central government to provide more clarity on it. Once things are clear about where India will head after 3rd of May, UPSC will give sufficient time for us to overcome the inconvenience caused and then reschedule the dates accordingly (That is what the MoS for DoPT has reiterated in all his interviews regarding this issue). 


 But that doesn't mean that we chill and wait for things to happen. Let's assume that prelims is on May 31st and prepare accordingly. Any extension is bonus and we can then utilize that accordingly. 


Try to be at peace and prepare with full pace. :) 

+1 Prelims will be postponed. But that should not be an excuse to postpone one's prelims preparation. Atleast till 3-5th may !

Exam to be held on 31st of May itself.

In spirit of upholding the highest standards of public and selfless service UPSC aspirants set to become the very first volunteers for COVID19 vaccine human trials in India at their respective exam centres. :satisfied:

A very weird thought came across my mind.

If somebody came in contact with someone infected later and is advised 14 days of quarantine. But that quarantine period overlaps with prelims exam. Would that candidate be barred from writing the exam on basis that there is a possibility that the candidate might have contracted the disease?

The whole attempt of the candidate might be spoilt due to the virus suspicion. 

This seems to be too scary and giving me goosebumps since last night. 

PS: I know I am thinking too much but the anxiety just finds its way through these weird absurd thoughts. :(

Sachey UPSC aspirant ko Corona nahi hoga esa UPSC ka vishwas h ! ;)


(Upsc ka kaam aap kyu soch rahe ho tau ?? )

If someone put a gun to your head & ask you to guess prelims date, What would you reply ?

Please, No range ! Just dates.

I say 30 August.

Let’s see who gets it right😄

Can anyone help me with pdf file of ancient India and art and culture??

Not the pdf of any book, but notes, if anyone can share. It will be of great help to me. 

All my notes are in delhi, and currently I am in Bihar. I would leave for Delhi as early as possible but I have already wasted too much time, don't want to waste more. 

Earnest request to everybody, if anyone of you can help me with, art and culture and ancient India notes. I feel that I have forgotten many details from these two paper. 

TELEGRAM pe jao sab milega ji. Pdf4exams or upscmaterails pe. Or ask people in big groups !

Since there is no information on centre change, should we assume that they won't give that option? 


Jan 1st week mains in delhi is going to be a task :( Sept sochke delhi rakha tha mains ka center 

Exactly that's what i was thinking. I remember i had a tough time going to office in January this year. This years winter was very harsh. It was bone chilling cold and writing mains with those shaky hands will be a challenge for Delhi people.

Aapko lagta h tab tak delhi me PEOPLE bachenge ? "Delhi khaali hogi , Corona hi Corona milega is saal wahaa !!" 😢😢😢

janaab Current Affairs ka kuch batao please!

prelims 2020 October 4th ko hai. Toh Kaunse month tak ka CA le kar chalna hai?

ek Silly sa question aur...

kya commission oct 4 ko vohi question paper ke sets degi jo unhone May 31 ke liye banaya tha ya fir new sets banengay October ke liye?

kyuki agar former vala option hua toh PT 365 Jaise materials ko baar baar revise kara jaa sakta hai. Agar latter vala scene hua toh PT 365 ke sath sath monthly magazines par bhi zor dena padega.

Help please!

JO BHI SITUATION HO.. Exact Prelims date k 2 month back tak padna hi CHAHIYE :)

So जो आज से 1 2 महीने पहले सोच रहे थे कि अगर एक दो महीना exam postpone होजाए तो फोड़ देंगे वरना फूट जाएंगे ! क्या क्या पढ़ (उखाड़) लिया आप लोगों ने अभी तक एक्स्ट्रा ?? :grin::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes::joy:

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।

हा हा हा.. सही बोले श्रीमान.. पता तो स्वयं UPSC को भी नहीं कि कब होगा.. परन्तु बस एक परिपाटी हमेशा याद रहे.. "EXAM postpone केवल और केवल तभी होगा जब UPSC की तैयारी नहीं होगी, न कि आपकी, हमारी या बाकी एस्पिरेन्ट्स की ।" 


बाकी बकर करना तो हमारा जन्मसिद्ध अधिकार है । मैं भी तो वही कर रहा हूँ ;) धन्यवाद आपका भी दिन रात शुभ हो । 


(चुटकी मत बजा देना अब सीरियस होके ! ) 😂

For last 2 3 days my inbox on all social media  plateforms is full with personal messages. A few are *" Thank-you sir for all your help. Got XYZ rank in CSE 2019. "* with happy faces on the other side. But a lot (more than 90%) are *messages of Pain , Frustration, Disenchantment and Regret.* Most of these want just a *soothing few lines reply* from me, because they somehow feel that *I can understand* their situation better given that I myself, achieved CSE target in 5th attempt after multiple failures.

But I can't reply to the most except with some cliché statements like *"STAY STRONG COMRADE."* It feels so bad and so hurtful to see such talented minds of the country regretting being not successful in this *Chakravyuha Challenge of UPSC CSE.* 😔

I have personally seen people having *reached even Interview stage 2 3 4 5 6 times,* but still not being able to make it, leave about those who exhausted their all attempts with other stage failures. And when such people message you asking for what to do now - *it feels bad, very bad.* How can I match their level of wisdom and experience ? How can someone getting selected without those level failures be called more intelligent or worthy than those people by society? I, simply, can't fathom out. 


If I compare my selection with such souls, I have no hesitation to say ki *KISMAT ACHHI THI JO NIKAL GAYE IS GAMBLE SE.* Nothing else special I done or have to be out of this cycle. *I am sorry friends* I have nothing substantial to guide you or tell you what to do NOW. Just few self-experience based  basic advices I can speak out like that *don't take any decision now only. Take time,give your mind and body some relaxation. Also don't lose hope before it's totally Blackout.* You were one of the best brains of the country and *YOU ARE STILL ONE.* Merely one overhyped exam don't make you any less worthy. 


Keep trying for anything you will love to do now. If attempts and courage left, *come back better.* If , unfortunately not, *PLEASE MOVE ON.* Find out each and all possible alternatives for you like *State PCS or Coaching profession or anything else your heart wishes for including pending life decisions about marriage etc.* It's *NEVER TOO LATE.* Even if it is, be the FIRST ONE TO CHANGE THE PATTERN. 


All this excessive happiness of selection or excessive sorrow of failure is transient. Life is much more brutal and competitive than this CSE. *If you as a sperm, could win over crores of other competitors , before your own conception itself - you can still win.* You can still flourish. You can still succeed. *You can still be worthful for your family, society and nation.* Just go for it and show others that *YOU WERE DIFFRENT YESTERDAY. YOU ARE DIFFRENT TODAY. And YOU WILL BE DIFFRENT TOMORROW.*


With Best wishes and feelings 😢😢🤗🤗

Always Yours, 

*Yo Yo Choti Singh aka Vijay Wardhan Sarswat*


*#HUM_HONGEY_KAMYAAB_EK_DIN* 😊💐

Made a thread on Forum Community Platform for sharing pain stories of those who couldn't make it to Final list after trying hard. Done this after getting many request for same in PM. Not making it on telegram etc because there stories/write-ups go missing and not accessible in long run easily. Forum thread is I find best way to preserve such stories longer. Rest on you. Share it with all your known hardworked yet not lucky yet kind souls of CSE.

Let's Share our Pain too ! Because

"अगर किसी के टेस्ट सिरीज़ स्कोर और प्रिलिम्स मार्क्स में कोई समानता पाई जाती है, तो उसे मात्र और केवल मात्र एक संयोग कहा जाएगा ।"

Applicable for each and everyone as well as each and every test series. Confidence and keeping nerves calm while fast revisions of everything u done till now is the only differentiating factors now onwards. Best wishes Comrades :)

My Final SPECULATION ABOUT CUTOFF:


Gen Cutoff - 96-98 max 

OBC - 94-96 max

EWS - 92-94 max

SC/ST- Below 83

WITH UPSC ANSWER KEY,  not any Coaching Key. Expect atleast 2-3 answer variations in final key from ANY COACHING KEY. 


SO anyone scoring above 90 in Gen from any key, above 85 for ews/obc and above 78 for SC/ST... MUST START PREPARING FOR MAINS. Otherwise you may regret one month later.  👍😊❤️

Best Wishes. Ye apun ka first and final official prediction h after watching market trends for 2 3 days.

Please DON'T PM. UPSC UNPREDICTABLE h. It's merely my self assessment cum Speculation.
