[official][prelims 2023] How was prelims result? In or out?

seesatsaid

considering all doubtful negative, 78 bn rhe hain. 

Need these questions flipped in my favour:

Msme (ALL loans ko mainey incorrect kiya hai)

"Successful coup" ki jgah southward expansion of sahara (SAHEal) precisely because sudan was in news due to unsuccessful coup

Carbon markets (mainey don't shift resources kiya hai)

Schedule areas (only 1 kiya hai because pesa k baad IMO panchayat in a village is lowest area)

Gandhak vs buri gandhak (only 1 true kiya hai)

Prisons act ke (2nd statement false ki hai)

Mercury (kuch to safe limit hogi hi..... mercury ko haath lgaya hai kuch nhi hua 

I know this is useless at this time, lekin fir bhi koi Dilasa de skta hai

Same here bhai... exactly same.  Southward expansion of Sahara (great green wall ... though no coaching considers it as correct) + Burhi Gandak + MSME (not mercury though).

Also considering all doubtful as wrong.

@seesat Regarding the African countries question; In Sudan sometime back, Omar-al-Bashir was toppled by armed forces chief Burhan. Also, this should clear https://www.nytimes.com/article/burkina-faso-africa-coup.html?auth=register-google
Rest I agree except prisons act and mercury question.


Agree with you now.

@Neyawn In GS I  Set A Q54 - Don't we use a gyroscope for determining the rotation of mobile devices? Also, can anyone else share their logic for this question?

After reading some more, now I am more confused. I marked 'All three' btw.

But all important answer keys (vision, forum, shankar, insights, vajiram) are unanimous on 'All three'.

@Srinjay Maybe you are right
But where is the successful coup in Chad. It definitely failed . Seedha coup likhta upsc. Doston how are you dealing with so much ambiguity in answer keys? Considering all negative aap logon ke 90 bn rhe hain?

@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. 


Ha, appreciated this very much. Particularly in their 'Prisons' Question.

But I am pretty sure UPSC will consider "Succesful Coups" as the answer.

@TomiokaGiyu Get your point, but the question says 'In how many of the above actions is the function of accelerometer required?'; doesn't it mean to say that an accelerometer should be necessary?


https://www.rfwireless-world.com/Terminology/Difference-between-Accelerometer-and-Gyroscope.html


It says acceleromter can be used for tilt detection. 

If the question was framed ' rotation of smartphone, I'd have thought twice.

@Srinjay that is impressive. While I understand, nobody really knows, lekin fir bhi, do you see cutoff falling to higher 70s by any chance? 


80 +- 2 is what HardworkingHuman guesses.

Had some doubt in other questions too.
Besnagar question - Vajiram says all 3
UNOPS - would rapid transit be included
GCM - Does it cover internal migration
Ocean contrast in Geography
Due process of law
Scheduled areas - Minimum level


I knew that Besnagar had the Heliodorus pillar.

However, wikipedia says:

1) Vidisha (विदिशा, formerly known as Bhelsa and known as Besnagar in ancient times) is a city in central Madhya Pradesh, India


But also 


2) The Heliodorus pillar is a stone column that was erected around 113 BCE in central India[1] in Besnagar (near VidishaMadhya Pradesh). 

i.e. Besnagar is a site near Vidisha.

My tech-savvy brother said the answer would be 2 pairs only. He said smartphones use gyroscope for the tilting movement detection.

What will be the answer for Finance Bill Question?

In Hindi it is given as वित्त विधेयक and Constitution in Hindi refers to Financial bills as वित्त विधेयक।

The plot thickens... English version me to maine Only 1 mark kiya, (Financial and Finance me confuse hokar), par agar translation me error hai to there is hope

I called my techiee friend working in smartphone company.

He said answer is two pairs only for accelerator question.

Bhai I have another argument.

According to this article (Vision IAS also cites this), data from both accelerometer and gyroscope is required to detect if the acceleration is meant for tilting (and therefore changing orientation). Therefore, accelerometer does play a role.

@Sangaideer don't know what the final answers would be

but in the exam, I've done:

Prisons: statement 2 incorrect (expressly- I don't think)
Gandhak: Only 1 kiya hai (would be unfair if this option is marked wrong, they at the least should then go for multiple answers)

Village (again only 1 kiya hai.......maybe wrong......but socha ki PESA se village & not cluster should be lowest)

Due process: fair application kiya hai (Natural justice is just too wide a concept, imo.....it means a lot of other things which due process doesn't.......yes due process takes some features from natural justice but then fair application of law also does so from natural justice.......just interchange due process with fair application in the question......then also some would say the meaning of fair application is natural justice)

End me Shayad 4on apne hi galat ho.......will take 10.68 marks hit.............. would be unfair......but then, kya hi kr sktey hain.............apni hi galti hai jo border pe hain...........


I marked the same options.
