@Agog The usual. Either you know or don't. No guesswork possible. I don't understand how the cutoff goes as high as 126
Bcoz questions are direct from ghatna/ purvalokan. Anyone with decent amt of focused pcs prep, can get 110+ right.
I couldn’t. 😭
Source, our standard UPSC ones+ the Ghatna Chakras with UP current affairs.
There is a channel, Study for Civil Services. You can check them out!
I feel that if we just plan for it strategically, we can clear PT and mains can be given with UPSC knowledge.
Ghatnachakra is enough for general science. You can ignore state gk but i will say that you should read some facts like UP census, budget, which city is famous for what, wetland located in state.
In geography, winds local name, major cities located on river bank, important tribes of world and india.
If possible go through gktoday mcq as fast as you can..you won't regret 🙂
After doing 1 st round I could do only 90 questions...thought itne me bilkul nhi hoga....so went ahead & guessed rest of them-150/150😂😂😂
P.S I know I won't be able to make it.
Same. In hindsight I think, should have sticked to those 90+ Q and attempted max 20 more, rather than mindlessly attempting almost everything. Those 90 were easy Q; got most of them right. Similarly got almost all guesswork Q wrong.
But then, had no time for two rounds after round 1, to differentiate between calculated guesswork and blind guesses. Dusre round mein jo dikha, jo theek laga bhar diya.
Is there any other way around this? As far I know yeh ghatnachakra english me toh hai ni. Hindi me padhne me mera ho chuka...
Yes there is an alternative. Look at the last year paper. Not that dependent on ghatnachakra CA. I covered from GKtoday, affairscloud etc and ended up doing all CA questions right. So pick any of the compilations which is fact based, but for UP news you can see ghatna
UPPCS needs a dedicated stream of preparation. Have to do those ghatna chakras and factual current affairs.
UPSC knowledge will help you sail mains, not pre.
The reward is quite great if you clear prelims tbh for a UPSC aspirant. It is highly beneficial if one can give a couple of days a month to it. Thinking of doing it.
Not to sound elitist, but after Preparing for UPSC, yesterday when I saw questions like which of the following airports is declared international airport, new NLU location, where was a solar park in 2018 Estd, felt annoyed.

Agreed. Couldn’t answer most of such CA questions.
I am from Lucknow and I couldn’t recall biotechnology park which is in Lucknow, ah felt so stupid...
If it's not much of an issue, can you please upload them here?Are these compilations paid? I couldn't find them.
Managed to find most on telegram on t.me/affairscloudfree
If you scroll through files you can find compilations for the Jan-August period together.
@peelu Thanku☺️
Yes it's Muradnagar.
