[ Official ] How was the Prelims 2021 paper?
How was the paper guys ?
Since viruses lack cell machinery they cannot reproduce on their own.
So, when the article mentions that culturing was done in an artificial medium. It meant to say that artificial medium was prepared by using inorganic salts, carbohydrates, serum proteins, vitamins, nutrients, etc. The artificial medium was then used to grow cells (of plants or animals) and then the virus was cultured in that medium. Now viruses can replicate in this artificial medium as cells are present.

@toooldtodieyoung its true that virus cannot be grown only in synthetic medium..it can be grown in artifical medium which is cell culture of virus.
Both r same🙄.isn't it? Whats this word play.
See my best friend says that Upsc prelims is very easy and it is a cake walk. He has high IQ and has been topper of several Maths olympiads.
I told him ki bro science and social science are different things. Challenged him to take SSC cgl.
He failed in tier-1 of the exam despite being aan Ntse scholar and Kvpy scholar.
To kehna bahut aasan hai, Ghalib ek baar form toh bhar kar dekh.
Upsc prelims does not test iq at all, especially paper 1.so, u r right.
EiChan,Denisovan2019cut off 86-88
because last year cut off 92.51
assuming 2 ques. got deleted (+4 marks)
but the score must have been scaled to 200
so on avg. everyone will get 1.9 marks
so net deduction of 2.1 marks
so actual cut off could have been = 92.51 + 2.1 = 94.61
Now a poll on telegram showed decrease in number of marks of students compared to last year coaching keys-
the average mean marks reduced is 9 marks
so = 94.61 - 9 = 85.61
now taking into consideration reduction in vacancy add 2
85.61 + 2 = 87.61
also many people have doubts regarding csat so reduce 1 mark
87.61 - 1 = 86.61
so cut off will be 86-88
ps- did this calculation few days back, thought of sharing here😅
@toooldtodieyoungPeople are confusing easiness with Lack of shock factor. Last year, paper was heavily based on Agriculture and there were random questions like Hathi ka gestation period. Thus, many candidates were shocked. This year, People were more or less mentally prepared for anything UPSC were to throw at them. Therefore, lack of shock factor is being confused with easiness of paper. But this year, UPSC, being UPSC took up the sports section, right to city, and many such questions out of blue. Also medieval questions like Arcot are still debatable to this day. Even elimination techniques did not work much this year as options were wierd. So, all in all, Paper was not shocking, but difficult to score.
Last year paper was an awesome one, so conceptual.sorry for saying this but sometimes i feel cause of morons who cursed that paper, they set this stupid one in 2021.
PapaFranku,
was accidently binging on student responses after the UPSC exam (mainly GS1) due to stupid youtube recc. But i noticed most students felt the paper was easy or at best moderate and definitely easier than last year. Personally, I was blank after the exam as i thought it all depends on how my guesses went and definitely would not classify the paper as easy just because 5-10 questions were easy/repeated from last year. Just wondering how others felt immediately after the exam. I know it does not matter now anyways, but i have time to kill.
I knew it was tough and got upset even while attempting it.either they were lying or they were state psc candidates.
