[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.

Hi everyone, I guess I’m the only one who couldn’t complete the paper on time. I spent the entire break crying (and announcing to my fam that I’ve fucked up my attempt). All the dreams of writing mains in my first attempt have gone to the drain. 

Set C - The starting questions not only ate my time, basically ruined my momentum for the rest of the paper.

I switched (though too late) and solved second half which was very doable for me. Came back to first half but it was already late. Couldn’t fill the omr for economy and some map questions which were high accuracy areas. To sum up it could attempt only 73 and never got the chance to fill my OMR for the next 20-25. I always attempt and have been attempting closer to 95 in my mocks, but today I simply lost on time.

Ive just calculated my marks and I’m scoring 85-87 from BYJU. Maybe if I’d marked as much as I had planned I would have had a chance. I imagined a countless ways how this way would turn out to be but not THIS. So much focus on knowledge accumulation while what ruined the game for me was THOSE 2 HOURS.

No option but to wait months for another chance.

I feel your pain and anguish and anger. I was close to tears the first half hour. If I end up passing it will be entirely by luck, I wouldn’t be proud. Anyway it’s doubtful. I have nothing to say that can make you or anyone feel better, but for everyone, just know you aren’t alone. I hope you have a family that can understand and support your journey. I hope this feeling of betrayal reduces with time. Love and strength.

Hey, not alone. I couldn't do 3-4 questions, couldn't mark solved 2 questions in OMR. I had the A Set, otherwise would have ended worse. I also targeted 90-95 attempts like in mocks but couldn't. And to their credit invigilators in my room thought that it is the candidate's responsibility to fill all entries in the attendance sheet and I was supposed mark my answer sheet number in omr circles, question booklet number. Present etc. Did as I was told, they made me enter answer sheet in question booklet section and vice versa. Then was told that it was my mistake, I should have checked (in the invigilators attendance sheet) and then, multiple ways were thought to change it for 5 minutes. And there went my 7-8 minutes. Post the kind of paper it was, did not even felt like complaining.

@Villanelle  See understand one thing.....AND THIS for every candidate here

Never Ever NEVER never

fill your OMR after marking all the questions, do it then and there only. Please, I repeat Please.

A story: In 2012, a very bright student went to IIT-JEE exam. She was brilliant. In these papers you are always sure that you will get good marks. But she did the same mistake, didn't fill OMR then and there and started filling it later.

RESULT :She skipped one question by mistake and then all the bubbles below got Fucked up. She came to know it when she was about to fill the last answer (no bubbles left). She wasted her one year.

I think upsc will relent only after people start protests to include csat in the exam.
