[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?

Polity- easy 

Economy- bearable

Modern History- okay

Ancient Medieval- some doable. Otherwise better to leave

Environment- Bad

S&T/agriculture- Tough. Why so much Bio?

How many questions did people attempt in general? After much effort was not able to do more than 82-84.

@whatonly I think that question was framed keeping in mind IFS candidates.

I ended up attempting 96 due to insecurity regarding previous questions which I had attempted. Otherwise in 1st 2 rounds yes<=85.

I did 89-90 but I am regretting now. Some guesses might have been too risky. Googled 3, 2 wrong. Not googling anymore. Now I'm questioning everything.

Very less attendance in centres dan last year..did upsc increase no of centres or attendance was less truly?

Centainly attendance will be lower. But whether that would make a difference in cut off is the Big question. 


The cutoff might go down only if a chunk of serious candidates decided to drop because of direct/indirect covid reasons. I also feel the prep and confidence level of every aspirant could be lower this year because majority have been studying from home (who are used to isolation in delhi/hyd and also lack of peers around)
