Mains 2022 - All Papers PDF + R**** Rona + Paper Discussion
Guys, Essay Paper is over. How was it?
@Capedcrusader1 that is correct... but in the exam hall, i thought listing options before the person 1st, then writing merits and demerits would make checker look back and forth and turn pages... so i thought i should evaluate each option there only...your approach is better now i think.
i took tests in lukman. there he had changed my complete approach. he was of the opinion that first you list all options available because that way examiner knows ki we know the thing and he immediately sees the options. then draw a table and do merit demerit thing. good thing is upsc also asks that way. initially my approach was to list each option and do merit demerit there itself but thats not how upsc wants it. but the issue again is that i dont think all parts carry equal weightage. listing 4 options having 4 marks and evaluating all having 4 marks doesnt seem very judicious allocation of marks
This Lukman approach sounds interesting. Could you please share a sample or something? Thanks!

yes it was weird question. they probably wanted to create some suspense otherwise why would they not say igneous rock in its place. i just wrote about all the rocks their types and properties and rock cycle. hopefully will get 1 mark

Hello everyone! How was mains this time? I remember having discussions on Quest portal after 2019 Mains. Activity here this year is pretty low, have people moved to other platforms?
Anyways, I found GS 1 toughest out of all papers. GS 2 was good though I think my Law Optional background helped me in several questions (the same would be the case for Geo Optional students in GS-1, so i guess such advantages get evened out). GS-3 was more straightforward than previous years and I hope checking is in consonance with the level of questions.
For GS 4, I wonder if commission considers students as stakeholders while setting such a paper. While giving lengthy case studies may be justified, if you give five subparts (no creativity whatsoever from Commission in the way they set the paper) to each case study, all the gyaan about creativity/innovation/making answer distinct goes out of the window and one is just concerned about completing the paper.
My personal opinion. What do you guys think?
