[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.

Just for confirmation, we are supposed to carry admit card, ID Proof, Mask, sanitiser, wrist watch, passport sized photo and black ball point pen for the examination.

Anything I am missing out?

so this might sound silly, still I am a little tensed. I gave Aadhar as an identity in my admit. But I only have the printout of the e-aadhar which according to UIDAI is also original. Will I face issues? Please shed some light.

Swaying from "I am gonna crack it so easily on Sunday, I'll have to start mains prep soon" to "I am so underprepared, why didn't I do that x y and z? Why did I waste time on those days? It's all karma. I am so gone" in only 1 hour, I realised I better start meditating regularly. 


*every 1 hour :D

Hello peeps..! Dunno if this will help or make you more anxious. But i did this today...in fact in the evening. And I thought why not post it here.

here is a list ofall festivalsasked invarious PYQs (includes all exams).

give it a read with a cool mind. You know most of them already. So a good revision and some value addition.


Chapchar kut (mizoram)has been asked twice and we know that ! so haven't noted it down.

Rock it on 4th ! Hoping to see you all on the other side :)

@Sk123 Get it printed and laminated and make it look like a card. Don't just take a printout on an a4 paper.

If UPSC does nt came with any notification we will have to appear b'coz no options will be left before ous.


In this way the whole purpose will get defeted  of giving an extra attemp to candidates like ous . If things came before the exam many candidates will leave the exam it will certainly help in mantaining SOP for the benifits of the appearing candidates .


The ASG himself use expedite , I wonder with the careless attitute of upsc regarding this.

Also I believe the term "expedite" was used to indicate that the clarification from UPSC should come before 4th October.
This is very disappointing.

From being an absolute noob who didn't know where the different states were on a map to becoming someone who knows the history, geography, Economy and polity of India!

Everyone of us must congratulate ourselves for the efforts we've put in our preparation. It's been a long journey for each one of us. And soon our journeys will meet their respective destinations. Some might have rested in between like that rabbit from that ancient story. Some have been consistent but slow like me(a kachua from the same old story). I also want to rest now it's been a tiring month for meu But the race is yet to finish. And i am unable to see it's end from this point in time.

My mind wants me to leave all this and enjoy life but my heart is in the preparation. Even after how much i cry and rant about this process, say that i don't care or i can't do this. Somewhere deep down my soul knows that "agar mujhse nahi hoga toh kisi se bhi nahi hoga". 


During this process I've realised that i might be that kachua from that tale but the rabbits are not my competitors (other aspirants), it's my self doubt, my negative thinking, my habit of self criticism. I need to make them rest along the way till i reach my destination.


It would be the same case with most of us. We judge and criticize ourselves before we can be officially judged in the exam. Let's stop doing this now. Let's keep moving forward with whatever pace we're comfortable in. It's not a race of turtles and rabbits but it's a race of ourselves with our own deep rooted insecurities, our fear of unknown, lack of self discipline, patiance and our habit to find happiness in "things" rather than in ourselves!


With the experience of many failures in life I've come to a conclusion, i would like to put it in one line. That is "Conquer yourself, the world is within you!"


All the best for the exam!

PS: i failed to Conquer myself this time. I studied beyond my usual capacity in the previous month and took so much pressure that it worsen my health to a point that now I'm thinking about skipping this year's attempt!
