@mahi2501 do you know the actual reason behind this chuztipa??fear of failing in any competitive exam in India is huge particularly these brand kind of exams..our examination process,jobs ,college admissions all are based on principle of rejection and not acceptance as it happens in the developed world which creates this fear of failure..if India would have been a prosperous country without these existing situation of pervasive poverty and unemployment along with power assymetry in the society,no body would have cared about this shit exam ....but alas...

@AB007007 how?? I too marked Sundarban considering both indian and Bangladeshi areas.but problem is critical tiger habitat phrase was in inverted commas so it implies definition as per wlp act,1971 of India and Bangladeshi area of Sunderban wouldn't be considered at all.. correct me if I am wrong..

@rishi258 ap ke 6 and 9 hi bas controversial ha..rest are jabardasti wala controversial ha..
4.5k views

The only true controversial questions


1. Non financial debt

2. Minister ->6 months (this to me should be D, but UPSC has used the word "can", and there's no limiting terms like all or any, so can't rub off the notion that UPSC treats that as a general statement)


3. Desher katha. This will ultimately depend on what UPSC considers was deuskars context. Chances are towards 1n2 though.

Don't think rest are doubtful or anything. Rakhmabai is settled at 2n3 and preamble should be D as SC clearly stated that the objectives of preamble are a part of basic structure, and secularism has been kept as a reason for using 356 in bommai. Also, FRs do reflect objectives of the preamble. Thus while obviously the idea of liberty equality doesn't have a legal sanction associated, you can obviously generate a legal sanction wrt the FR that guarantees u the same.


Blockchain, AI aren't really controversial. We shouldn't take every question that some other institution has marked different as controversial, coz then unacadrmys jatin verma has lisa pathfinder as answer, which we should accept is wrong.


Apart from these there will be added impact of cancellation of the gandhi irwin question. That's most probably 2 marks gone for all, which means cutoff will drop by 2 marks, in all probability.

Agree..Rural employment growth wala question is settled??

@beginn371316 except ntca data,all other sources have a consensus on 1200sqkm core area figure(wiki,telagana website,saisailam tourism website,etc).Secondly the Q doesnt ask in India so if we include Bangla it 4000sqkm.For ur reference pls go through these recent news articles. 

1.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.firstpost.com/long-reads/tiger-habitats-in-sundarbans-are-imperiled-by-climate-change-govt-intervention-is-urgently-required-6342851.html/amp

I also marked Sunderban..but problem is critical tiger habitat phrase was in inverted commas which surely indicates ares under wlpa,1972.bangladesh nhi aa raha.so I considered siunderban wrong..

@Equalizer bro I can empathise with you! Even I’m on the border with CSAT. It’s damn disheartening but what can we do

Gandhi Irwin drop nhi hoga...

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?

Tum chu**a ho kya?? Log general category ma 95 ma hopeful ha dikh nhi raha kya tumhe?? Ya maje le rahe ho yaha ake bewakuf...

Bro upsc key matters. Marks can increase as well as decrease. That is why I worry. But one good think, most of those we think, controversial is wrong for me like AI, NALSA, MINISTER. Let's see. ATB

Ai I have searched internet extensively ..wireless electron transmission via AI is scientifically wrong statement.AI ka kam wo nhi ha..infact wireless transmission technology kabhi aye to wo AI k liye bahat helpful hoga.. reverse is correct..

And minister wala A ...upsc takes broad point of view..moreover,A galat Karna jyada controversial ha than sahi karna..it's A I think... moreover, constitution doesn't prevent an 18 yr old to become minister for 6 months because he is not a member of legislature so 25 yr criteria doesn't arise.. correct me if I am wrong..

@VivekanandS Bhai, AI has already helped newspapers like the guardian of UK write artciles and short write ups and AI is perfectly capable of writing stories and the same is true for songs. AI songs and stories havw been up and running since a year rather. 
Cheers!


Any source that shows AI is creating on its own meaningful songs or poetry??

@Aspirant123 There are many such articles about the same dear. Anyways lets leave it to upsc, but i am damn sure about this, researched about in detail out of curiosity. 
Anyways all the very best again. Hope to meet you in lbsna one day.


Your sources actually disprove you..they are talking about limitations about AI stories and only data jugglery..have a look..

But writing is not data. It is a means of expression, which implies that you have something to express. A non-sentient computer program has nothing to express, quite apart from the fact that it has no experience of the world to tell it that fires don’t happen underwater. Training it on a vast range of formulaic trash can, to be sure, enable it to reshuffle components and create some more formulaic trash. (Topics “highly represented in the data” of GPT2’s training database were Brexit, Miley Cyrus, and Lord of the Rings.) All well and good. But until robots have rich inner lives and understand the world around them, they won’t be able to tell their own stories. And if one day they could, would we even be able to follow them

@Aspirant123 I have attached screenshot of guardian news article. AI can form stories and articles on its own! A few songs too composed by AI are up there on youtube. So meaningful stories and songs by AI is perfectly correct statement. Dont know about Wireless thing. So according to me has to be all right. Moreover for sure upsc is the final decider but im pretty sure for this AI thing. 
Anyways all the best for mains. 
P.S. I am scoring 104 by vision and shankar without desher and rakhmabai, so AI doesnt matter. But 100 percent acc to me it will be all correct. 
All the best for mains.

Guys from insights

We will once again reiterate that cutoff marks in recently concluded UPSC prelims will be between 90-95( GM category), and most likely be either 92 or 93. 


If your score is above 90 prepare well for Mains. The marks of selected candidates Indicate that you should be good across all papers in Mains and then in interview to guarantee a rank. 

Between you can expect prelims results between October 25 to 27. 

Another ten days. But don’t wait. Keep preparing.

Ye 25-27 wala date kis ki man ki baat ha??

I have been a student of her in 2019, i went through her 2019 prelims analysis, of all the coachings saying "liberty is absense of restraint she was a rare proponent of liberty meaning "freedom to develop oneself fully" which was taken by upsc. So if one has to trust someone on polity questions other than obviously upsc, it is shubhra ranjan. So according to her preamble doesnt have any legal effect 'the option A', baaqi to Upsc key is master, anyone can be humbled.

So if you are damn sure why raising doubts here.. ignore my comments..

Not raising doubt brother, just making a point that she can be trusted of all in polity. Even i have marked A for that and am taking it as wrong as per vision key, it wont affect me. I am 104 after taking every debatable question as wrong. Dont get intolerant, you could have ignored my comment as well. Chill! 

Yaha kya kar rahe ho ..mains k liye prepare karo..

104 wala would be reading now for mains all guns blazing..he will not quote videos of coaching centres to justify an answer.inflation and deception in marks so rampant that 92 cut off seems more realistic now to me..

Haha bhai, it seems you have really been pricked by something, its showing in your language! Go and scroll and see i never quoted that shubhra ranjan video, i just commented on someone's else quote that i trust her for polity. Take a chill pill and relax bro! And agar tujhe personal hona hai bhai to sorry i dont do that stuff, but for you i will send you my name and roll number of personal message, jaakar check karliyo jiss din result aega. I am just reading people's opinion here in my free time. Dont get personal for no reason out of your frustration.

Chill!

I don't know why but no matter how hard I try everytime all those silly mistakes that I made in my paper roams around in my mind.I always feel like in this paper I could have easily scored much much better but now stuck on border line which with this much uncertainty is not only a line but a plane.All that guilt of getting those easy question wrong is just hitting hard,add to that pressure of the last prelim failure.Think of studying but then anxiety leads to just switching tabs to forum even when no agreement actually helps you.

Is this normal, I mean is it happening to many people or if it is, how to go about it.watching match certainly ain't helping the cause.I have a job too so that also eats a lot of time of studying. 

Kitna aa raha?? Exam ha bhai sirf...itna seriously mat lo.. YouTube ma galaxies k upar bahat sare videos ha...dekh sakte ho.. realising insignificance of our existence helps in attaining peace..good night..

One more thing, just by quoting some random sources one doesn't get their respective question correct. My point is simple, yaha koi bhi question doubtful ban jaata hai, West Texas ka to source bhi daal diye hai log😂😂.
And no one is making fun of anyone. 
Ye har saal hota hai yaha, aapko shayad idea nahi hoga. 
Maine khud minister ka A mark kiya hai, kafi keys ne A diya hai shayad, but I know it's d. And yahi sahi hai.
So no point in arguing, because I am convinced.


Minister question ke saath ek interesting fact hai just opposite of AI question. Jisne bhi A mark kiya hai use D lag raha hai or jisne D mark kiya hai use A lag raha hai. I have marked D, mujhe A lag raha hai.

On the contrary Maine minister ma A mark kiya ..lekin mujhe A hi lag raha 😁..age argument is far-fetched and ridiculous..a person doesn't mean every person..

Isliye to D ko galat maan ke marks kiya hai. If the statement was a person can me made a minister in state for 6 month even if he/she is not a member of the house. Still it would have been correct.

Yes..6 months tak one can be made minister without being a mla/ mlc...

My two cents on minister wala question --

A person disqualified on the ground of defection is still eligible to vote, but cannot be appointed as a minister untill the term of his office comes to the end.

Baqi UPSC malik hai..

Is standard ma thinking ho to 70 questions ka alag answers hoga...😁
