[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.

Foreword: Did not mean it to be long, but the heart came in the way! :P

Hello, my beautiful people! One day closer!

When I left my cushy private sector job over a couple of years back, I didn't ever think I'd find myself in the position I am now. Had grossly underestimated the exam and overestimated my own ability. Two years and there has been no visible success achieved, yet the taste of optimism is still fresh in my mouth.

I had lost that optimism when I began to believe that I had not only failed at the examination as such, but had failed on countless different days when I couldn't find the will to sit my ass down on a chair and pick up the book I had to read. I believed I failed everytime I couldn't meet my own self-imposed deadlines, or when a test score didn't compare well with the rest. I believed I failed every time I procrastinated on a goal. I was on the verge of giving it all up 4 months ago; pick up a job and leave this be for good.

Yet, I did not. I'm so far out of my comfort zone, you wouldn't even believe it if I told you. The noise both inside my head and outside was deafening. I still managed to find the mute button; the key to doing that was understanding that I was in the position I was in purely by my own design. I might have procrastinated on many things that had deadlines during my preparation, but I hadn't procrastinated on the thing which, for most people, does not have a deadline. Giving this exam itself. Much like you reading this. The choice of giving this exam over a comfortable job came from a place of love as much as it came from a place of idealism. A deep sense of compassion for the underprivileged people drove me to write this exam over merely caring about my own aggrandizement, and no amount of failure can ever take that away from me. 

My optimism comes from a place of realising that the question of whether a man was successful or not must be answered by that person himself. For me, that means staying true to myself and always striving to do better.

Do not glorify the result, glorify the process. And through it all, always remember that you are a dreamer who decided to give his/her dreams a go. That's more than what most people do. It's only a matter of seeing it through. Not all of us will be able to do it, but all of us will be able to try even if all the odds are stacked against us. Keep your chin up and hustle, you lil champion.

Then y don’t they show their responsibility by releasing 2019 Marks or releasing prelims key after the exam

Just don't want to see anything about 2019 marks till 4th.

But what if they don't release them for next 1/2 months. Why there isn't any case filed to stop the process of the Cadre allocation without marks. Everything is happening but we won't show the marks, is the most vague thing. Even state PCS don't proceed this way.

For the ones saying that, we already know why we didn't qualify for interview last year. No, I don't know. I can't tell whether it was essay, optional or GS which pulled me back. 

Further ................ (After prelims, if the battle is won)

Haha, of course I did, but that wasn't the reason. It was my arrogance, for which I am solely responsible. Wouldn't pin it on any topper. :)
