[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.

@rafael dude you've raised more questions than answers. Someone who lives near an exam centre might have a better answer. 
No point thinking about it now.

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 :)

Thanks for this man!
Adding something: Ugadi in my notes was New Year for Karnataka, Googled it and then it seems it is for Karnataka, Telangana and Andra. 
Not the right time to discuss this but thought should add it here. 

P. S: We all are going to do amazing tomorrow.

@Warrior100 curious about this too, would we see higher cutoffs due to people dropping out? :l

read somewhere that cutoffs may go higher than what would have been normally as working aspirants got equal time for prelims because of lockdown .

@ArpitaJ cut offs are not so easy to determine, at least not before the exam. 
In 2018 when seats were reduced everyone thought cut off will increase, however it saw a dip of 7 marks. 
Similarly, last year everyone said how it was easier than 2018/people were better prepared to deal with unconventional paper but again cut off was same as 2018.

If some people got more time to study, lot of others were disturbed too - lack of study material, libraries closed, also one can't remain in pre mode from March to Sept. There was a dip in efficiency as well. 

I am not saying cut off will go down. But its too early to say it will increase.

@ArpitaJ I think people who are declaring cutoff before prelims either don't know how UPSC works or they just have way too much extra time on their hands. If time is all that is needed for this exam then only people with more attempts would be toppers but it's quite the opposite actually. We see mostly first second or third attempters topping with few having more attempts.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.” - Paul Atreides 

Good luck everyone, we'll all make it.

One more important thing, you need to have arogya setu app installed in your phone, without arogya setu screening you won't be allowed to travel in metro.
