Thread for Civil Engineering Optional Mains 2019

Yes I remember it being around 27.
How would you people assess this paper? I felt it was much tougher than the previous year...both papers

I think there were some unconventional questions like Radius of influence formula ,steel bearing plate and velocity over plate question

Guys,

I did not qualify Prelims but I attempted Civil Engineering Mains Paper in Exam like condition.

I was able to attempt 210 Marks ( Correct ) in Paper 1 and 215 in Paper 2. Theory attempt in Paper 2 is of moderate quality.

What should I expect after normalisation ?

What were the marks of students who qualified CSE 2018 with CE as an Optional ? Any help here would be really helpful.

@RockyBalboadifficult to set a definite score because the fluctuation must be annual. But from whatever info I could gather, it could be anywhere between 0.75 to 0.85 of what you are expecting

@g12345did u consider self weight in the question?? It has to be considered as it significantly changes the results when values are small

@Aspirant123This figure that I quoted has no solid rationale behind it. I got it based on experiences of 2 people, both having Math as an optional. One person has also shared his experience here with respect to civil engineering. For him too the ratio was in this range

@g12345As far as I can estimate from my civil engineering Marks last year,they don't depend on ratio. There is a well structured formula forscaling.Itwill depend on what's average of civil engineering minus average of all optionals multiplied by a factor which depends on your relative position in civili engineering.For instance,if u get 200 marks in paper 1 may be only 4-5 marks will be deducted but if u score 120 then 25 marks will be deducted.
Secondly it's not the scaling which kills but low marks which are being awarded when answer is wrong.

@g12345I think the ratio 0.75 - 0.85 is not constant but depends on difficulty level of paper. Papers of 2017 and 2018 were comparatively easier. 2016 paper 1 and 2013 paper 2 were difficult and few people scored very high marks ( 213 in paper 1 in 2016 and 178 in paper 2 in 2013). This years paper was on the difficult side and scaling may be more lenient.

@abhinav23raj436@Aspirant123Your arguments seem more logical. There must be a proper process to scaling and it must be proportional to marks scored.

@g12345go for ies master has less errors

anyone giving IFoS mains with civil engineering optional?

Did anyone submit anything for representation regarding the civil engineering paper?

@abhinav23raj436bhai your argument is definitely logical..but i support what@g12345said...with experience in my last mains and twice in ESE...i found the ratio to be around 0.7-0.8 of the attempt i did qualitatively..perhaps crude yardstick i d say

@KhamoshkrantikariWere there any controversial questions?

Yaar P2 Q.5.e) chlorine demand...throw some light...beyond breakpoint whatever chlorine is added should be reflected in solution..but it was not so..what u people think?

Galat ho gya bhai tera.

Kaise karna tha ye solve?

@CivilianHi, Do you have any active telegram group for Optional preparation ?

Did anyone manage to clear mains with civil engineering?
