[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.

Scored 112 . Feel like cld have scored more with more focused mind . Lack of sleep cld be a reason as a feral dog woke me up . And too much humidity at my place . Feel like vomiting .  I hope everything works out on exam day .

As far as test is concerned it was standard but not at all lengthy like upsc is going these days . Can be done in 1.20 hrs easily . So many 4 option qus .While in a 2019 type exam u ll need fast reading .

Got just 90 in Simulator!! 

In Vision abhyaas last 2 tests got 87 in T1 and 97 in T2.

Had cleared previous UPSC CSE Prelims 2019 (was scoring around 112) 

I too felt the exam was very easy. Completed in 1 hour 20 min - but shocked to see my marks. Don't know what went wrong. Disappointed!! 

Consider it a blessing. It is likely to make you realize that some areas need work and further revisions, despite you putting them in the "yeh to ho jaayega" category. We all have them. And it takes a shock to bring us out of our shells and push us into working.

Who knows !When you do clear the Prelims paper on 4th october,You might just end up saying, "oh bhaaaaiiiiii, accha hua uss din 90 aaya tha" ðŸ˜„

2019 CSE will easily go down as one of the most frustrating exam conducted. (Thank you, elections 2019)


Out of curiosity, the EWS case is not going to change how much each of us scored in the exam. UPSC can simply have a sentence on the said EWS candidates marksheet that result is withheld. If they could release the ranks what is stopping them from releasing marks?

Don't know. Probably some procedural roadblock.

Do you guys know of any good summary of the Economic Survey? The Vision one looks like it’s too abridged.

@JackRyan try Rau's budget and Economic survey. I found it more relevant than random assortment of charts and graphs in vision

@abhinandanpd018869 kisan sabha movement began at a regional level 1918-20s. Oudh Kisan sabha by Baba Ramchandra was formally established in 1921 I guess.

agreed bhai ! just after I had written rave reviews about their 1st three tests, they let me down with their shitty question paper today. The construction of sentences was third grade !

@Shubz EWS was brought in haste just ahead of elections without fully considering its implementation details. Now it has become a headache for the UPSC.


Related to the EWS court case, I have been wondering as to how a couple of people categorised as ews can afford a lawyer like Salman Khurshid?? Is it pro bono or something??

A dialogue from "Raag Darbari":

"Ye high court, supreme court ki shaukini kya sabke boote ki baat hai? Ek ek vakil karne me sau sau randee palne ka kharcha hai."

UP Kisan sabha(1918); Awadh Kisan Sabha(1920); All India Kisan Sabha(1936) - here they were emphasizing on awadh kisan sabha..BTW which Kisan sabha established in 1929?

Just attempted Simulator, never heard of "Abraham Accord" before. Even though I was aware of Israel-UAE deal but didnt knew it was Abraham Accord. Any suggestions to cover the recent Current Affairs? If anyone has Sunya last few months please dm.
