[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.

@walterwhit3 yes...ever since they have started using cookies to "maximize our reading experience," it has actually become worse. and the 20 articles per month thing is even more infuriating ! But then recently i stumbled upon the perfect hack for that.

1. Google the "headline" that you want to read and make notes out of

2. Right click on the news item and open it in "NEW INCOGNITO" tab

3. Boom ! it will now show, "you have read 1 out of 20 articles " this month. 

Do this for tall the articles you want to read. And it will keep resetting to 1 article out of 20 every time. 

Works for me.

@Sherkhan1428 I have been using incognito since they began limited article reading thing. But sometimes you just want to finish the paper without wandering here and there. And then it sucks.

Dear Fellas.

I am a doctor preparing for UPSC ,posted in safdarjung.  I know we all are anxious about exam. But remember, "Man's extremity is God's opportunity." - John Flavel.

A doctor preparing for upsc ...  bro why..  says a lot abt our society . I have seen drdo scientists , IISc pass out people also preparing for this exam . It shd be left to lesser mortals like BA/bsc/ private college engineers .

Not try to be condescending bro. But this is the wrong way to look at Doctors , UPSC as well as life. All humans are equal. Upsc or Doctor , its just a job. Aim of life is happiness with purpose. Never let society dictate  , What is good for us.

Another way is to paste the link in "archive.li" . It bypasses the paywall. Works for almost every website.

Guys, has anyone else been feeling rusty with prelims prep after this postponement? I used to get 98-110 with vision mocks (not great but not bad) and I've been getting mid-high 80s now. I'm sure it's just a psychological thing due to focusing on the optional for a while but it's scary either way.

BA, Bsc students are not lesser mortal dear. Medical entrance, IIT entrance, CSE all are quite different and requires different aptitude. I know a person who prepared for PMT for 5 year Nd could not clear it. However he cleared CSE in very 2nd attempt.
