[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.
Hey guys, a question about PYQs. Been solving them subject-wise so far, with the purpose of identifying frequent areas and repeats. But I also want to try solving some as proper mock tests. Which years should be solved as mocks, considering that the general pattern itself has changed?2016-2019.Have been doing them for the past two days with the purpose of identifying hints and clues to solve seemingly difficult questions. Very good exerciseimo. Bound to boost your confidence if your static and CA have been revised multiple times by now.
Do take a note of the cutoffs :116 in 2016. 106 in 2017 and 98 each in 2018 and 2019.
Try and notice things like:
1. Did I find the question paperrelatively easy , like others did in 2016?
2. What was thedifference between 2016 and 2019 papersthat ended up bringing about a difference of almost 20 marks in the two papers ?
3. Are "tricks, rules and hacks" the real deal or do we tend to over emphasize their importance ?
If you can find satisfactory answers to these questions, you will come out a better equipped and more empowered person on the other side of this exercise.
All the best !
Thank you so much senpai :) that’s what I’ll do.

open or only a few so as to compare the charges, facilities as well as the environment of library.
I asked one of my ex-library friend who stayed at ORN but went home during lockdown and he said few libraries are open now. To confirm, i asked another person who works in management of one of the institutes at ORN and she said all libraries are closed as of now. I called one library named KK library near Vajiram and they said their library is open. Now i am confused as to what to recommend to my friend -.-
Humble request to ask any of your friend who is staying at ORN, if any, to tell if libraries are open or not(and if they are, are all libraries open or just a few) and let me know as well. Thanks again. :D

@TheNotorious i have heard some libraries like 'Learn in a min'(my old library) are opening from 10th october
Mine also..... HIGH FIVE. But no more interested. I guess coolest one in ORN :)
thanks!even i got to know that institutes will most probably be allowed to open in October. So, if institutes will open so will the libraries.But the thing is that there is a friend of mine who is willing to join a library as soon as possible as she is not able to study at home. So i wanted to know if libraries are open or not. And if they are, are all librariesopen or only a few so as to compare the charges, facilities as well as the environment of library.

See as of now they are not allowed to function. They are someway managing(you know) and opening. All library at peculiar places like main road are closed. So officially everything is closed. :)

Ye agri bill is ok. Chalega........... its gud for agri. But actual question should be SC ko kya hua hai.........
They have gone mad. They asked "if we ban that UPSC jihad show- wont it infringe Article 19."
I doubt they are pro govt. they are....................... skip. I will be charged with contempt.

There was a time when following news was considered a great thing. I always felt awareness is important and it helps shape a person as a productive member of the society.
But now, I am just done with news. I think too much connectivity and awareness has more cons than pros. Add to that, absolute state of media these days. All we see these days are things to agitate people. I feel like giving up news altogether once done with CivilS preparation.
There is a caste angle here too if you draw your Venn diagrams closely but I won't dwelve into it as I would be called a Casteist.
Things are not going right is all I can say. With increasing uncertainty due to Covid and Economy spiralling down, people are more vulnerable, more easily swayed to a herd mentality.
I do not want to be a doomsayer but with pliable institutions at the helm, 2021 will disrupt the social fabric very badly. Just keep safe guys.
Similar message to the commoner. Kafeel khan had to spend 9 months in Jail? Why? to scare other people.
As it is said, making an example out of people as to create a mental deterrence in the minds of people of standing against the rulers.
We often take politicians to be just random greedy people, but they are very smart and intelligent.
