[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.

Quant and LR were more this time..

Quant was moderate to easy while LR was moderate.. 


Passages were tough... 

Someone who is decent or above average in maths will surely clear it

Those who got Series-A got screwed in the last 40 mins. Was like a video game...increasing difficulty as you keep moving forward.

Holy crap. I thought it was just me who screwed up by preferring quant, Lr. Just hope to clear it now. Prelims cutoff overall will have massive impact if everyone found it difficult like i did.

I bet now all institute will bring agriculture as completely independent subject.

Overall paper asked application or how things executed in real life. So paper was tough I will give 9/10. 

CSat again was moderate . Quant moderate , LR tricky , paragraph tough.

Overall it's surely tougher than 2019. 


Edit :-now just  found out I just marked one question bubbled wrong.the question of which if the following is major mineral one.😶

Pretty sure there will be a considerable fall in cutoff. Paper was fuckall. Quite possibly, there will be more errors in coaching keys this year. Margins are really small. If you think you might get 90+, prepare for mains. 3 weeks lesser this time.

Of course bro we can.

But when we look at the paper in the comfort of our room it seems easier.

When I look back at 2017 or 2019 paper it appears easier now.

When we don't attempt the paper but only look at it, our subconscious mind analyses on the basis of known or unknown term. So a question asked on elephant would appear easy no matter it's gestation period was also asked.

As someone said earlier " prelims is not to test knowledge mere to eliminate candidates with whatever means possible".
