[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.

Are you guys reading the newspapers these days? Is it important at this point of time?

I didn't read newspapers of the last month before prelims in my prior attempts but I felt it might hurt mains prospects.

Bhai, not to discourage you, but if this is your notes that you have posted pic of, then it looks like you are highlighting almost everything in your notes, which is not the right way. 

Please pardon me if my observation is intrusive. This was just to help you out

“Inn kaale-safaed panno mei kuch toh rang bharne do. Aise toh na roko-toko” :P

Jokes apart, I know bhai that the way I’m doing is not the ideal way to do it, in fact it might be the worst way to do but kya karu aadat jaati hi Nahi. Every time I study I need something in between the fingers to scribble, mark, underline or highlight( Fabre castle ka highlighter mill jaye toh kya hi kehne....ohooo...tabaahi). I try my best to highlight most important stuffs but jab padhne baitho toh sabhi cheez important lagne Lagti hai and these dual coloured books end up being rainbow coloured ones by my hands.

And no need to ask to be pardoned brother. You are absolutely right in what you are saying. Thank you for sharing the feedback. Next time I’ll try more not to mark/underline so aggressively. 

P.S. you remind me of one of my Sir. You are the second person after him to tell me I mark things excessively. I remember I studied Laxmikant one day and went to him to clear my doubts the next day. After seeing my book, he was like, “how will you segregate the important info from the not so important one”. Have a look and guess why he said so :p.

I can so relate. I highlight, then mark with a black pen and then next reading me for the sake of it, use a bit of red pen too and so on!
To sum up, Shuru majboori me kiye the, ab maja aa raha hai! :P

I never judged him on his capability ot crack the exam. 


If this works for him then its well and good. But from what i have learnt from my experience of 4 years, Revision and that too revising the whole syllabus in last 7 days is the key to clearing prelims

But sometimes having a pen in hand often leads to wastage of time, a result of engaging into not-so-required artistic creativity, tinkering with the inside M F Hussain. See  :/ :D

@mahi2501 I too agree with you .. but even I have this problem of underlining the whole book while reading .... I have also coloured my book the same way and I m finding it really difficult to revise now .. can you share a pic of a page where you have selectively underlined just to give an idea .TIA
