[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
yes, i have seen it. but still unsure. i have seen names of some coaching websites also...There is a channel regarding postponement. They have posted some screenshots, conversation with Advocate Alakh. He says he will shortly announce this on his twitter handle and petition is already being made. They have also suggested preferable merger of 2020 and 2021 cycle.
NEET and JEE group is younger and wiser in this sense I feel.

Tyler Durden,
I genuinely don't understand how people are considering the possibility that exams will be postponed and some even calling for cancellation or merger.
UP has conducted two major exams in this month in which lakhs of candidates appeared. Other states are also going ahead.
Most of the activities of pre covid times have resumed with some on paper instructions.
Epidemiological models which projected high death and infections by July have failed. Test/M population is increasing. Death/M population is low compared to world average. Even if we are testing low, cfr is also low. This shows that strain is weak(?) in India. (Apologies if it sounds insensitive.)
Also SC would(should) not encroach upon executive to the extent which is being speculated. Exam taking bodies have the main say.
Every life is crucial but I don't think that decisions will be taken keeping this in mind. Utilitarianism 101.
Covid anxieties in India have already plateaued much before the curve. It is in plain sight just outside our windows.
I hope genuine concerns of students are addressed.
Later on the other side of the storm.
All the Best.
Quite insensitive.
Utilitarianism also requires you to donate your kidney to a perfect stranger. Or to save a random baby instead of your ailing grandmother from a burning building.
It's quite a slippery slope maximising the greatest good for the greatest number at all costs, don't you think? :)
@sulawesi Yeah I too saw one. Saying they have contributed 10k Rs.I have serious doubts about the truthfulness of these things. I mean till yesterday these guys were saying we will wait for judgement on 17th and then decide, spoke to some other lawyers as well and today morning directly asking for contribution!
Don't see everything with skepticism. They've collected 49k out of 1 Lakh and the petition is happening. The money is going directly to the advocate, things cannot be more transparent than this.
Also, someone on their group clarified that they're just going for postponement and not other thing like merging/cancellation etc.
The least we can do is provide them some support because they're fighting for our health with their money.

@rafael Impossible to explain anything to anyone in that group.

Utilitarianism speaks about Eudaimonia. And this is exactly why conducting exams in the middle of a pandemic is not even 0.01% eudaimonistic and therefore is against utilitarianism.
If getting a job/degree/admission by risking your health (possibility of a chronic ailment) is your Eudaimonia, then god bless you. I can't say more.
@Patootie I agree that it is insensitive. Utilitarianism is definitely a slippery slope. Never agreed with that view in totality. But that is my personal opinion. It doesn't alter the realities. I was saying on the way decisions are being taken in general.
It is that personal opinion that I took issue with. If you think having an exam which is highly inequitable and maybe even unconstitutional given the present condition represents the greater good, considering how the pain caused is possible death or fear of death to a great number of people, that is where the problem is.
@Patootie I am not the exam conducting body and it has nothing to do with my personal morals. I was making a general remark on how most decisions are taken. In that light i don't understand how people think exam will be cancelled/merged.Why the urge to implicate me?
Decisions are political. End of the story.

Eh, whut. I don't even know who you are! No urge at all!
You just referred to the Government's thinking process as Utilitarianism. That implies that there is a greater good of conducting the exam even if hundreds die. I was just pointing out that firstly, it is not utilitarianism and secondly, utilitarianism is bullshit.
"Corona ke vajah se exam postpone karane ki baat ho rahi thi kal tak to, ab ye UPSC ko suggestions dene wale kahan se paida ho gae?
Jinhone UPSC ka pura syllabus bhi nahi padha abhi tak lag raha hai wo log suggest kar rhe ki ye year hi khatm kar do, taki unko excuse mil jae ki padhe to hum bhot the but exam hi nahi hua.🙄 "
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Many aspirants above are mocking people on how they think themselves capable enough of giving suggestions to UPSC?
Last I checked, we were living in a democracy and everyone has a right to his/her opinion. If giving suggestions brings mockery on a platform where future policymakers are sitting, it smells like a bad omen.
Every citizen has a right to an opinion and to express the same, be it to the UPSC or the Prime Minister.
The efficacy of the opinion is open to critical analysis, not to ridicule.
Let us not try to be elitist here. :)
