@Srinjay Also Vision has provided alternate solutions in the doubtful questions, which is a good thing. All other institutes are playing god and are providing definitive answers (in comprehension passages) as if UPSC itself came to tell them about the right answers.

@dravidpujara I have often come across this argument. The assumption here, as far as I understood, is that humanities students have an advantage in UPSC GS unlike the ones having Engineering background. But how is this true?
I did BA hons in geography. But I have never felt any advantage of being a humanities student. Even in geography questions, my college knowledge rarely benefits me. And if it does benefit me, one could then also say that Engineering students might have an upper hand in S&T questions, or the students having history optional might benefit in history questions. So ultimately, no one has an exclusive advantage.
Similarly, one of my friends said that since he is an engineer he dislikes all humanities subjects (and is therefore at a disadvantage) and on the other hand I being a geography student, am much "closer" to all the other subjects like polity history etc. But even if I like geography, I have no interest in studying other subjects. I don't like polity, history or art & culture at all. So both of us, here also, are equally positioned.
Now let's come to CSAT. He has been since 10th class solving maths or CSAT questions. and even he found the paper to be tough.
On the other end of the spectrum are all 'non-maths' students. Normally I can solve maths question in CSAT through the given options. But this time, there was no way this could work and everyone knows why. On the top of it, reasoning questions were almost non-existent.
So how could it be that the Engineering students getting relaxation in GS is equivalent to humanities students getting relaxation in CSAT 2023?
@dravidpujara I think that post came across ruder than I intended. Bhai, I was not complaining or attacking you, I was just really curious to hear some counterviews on the topic! It's all good!
@atulji I saw it. But kuch samajh hi nahi aaya ke kya kehna chahta hai ? Woh questions 2023 csat ke tha kya?
@atulji Haan! Ab yaad aaya elephant keystone species wala question. message ko dekh ke toh yahi lag raha tha ke questions aur uske hint bata rakhe hain. Kya pata kya hota hai UPSC mein bhi. Kuch bhi possible hai
@AverageaspirantBhai aapka sirf naam hi AVERAGEaspirant hai! baaki score topper wale hain. Congratulations!!!
@Vijvish Mistakes -such as?
@GaneshGaitonde I thought that for the 2023 pre - the more questions one attempts, more would be the chances of negative marking since this time elimination was difficult. So my question is - how did people attempt more questions? I could attempt only 77 questions.
