[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.

Hello guys, question number 29 from set B. About minister , many keys have given A correct but i feel A is wrong because simply a person entitled to vote may be only 18 years of age, i dont think he can be minister. What you say guys

One more thing, i think AADHAR question answer should be C only, because why AADHAR mandatory for grtting benefits from consolidated fubd. Its a vague statement. Secondlyc, staye can infact share data with privaye players on conditions for limited use.please tell your views

In Jayalalitha case court held that only who are eligible to became member of legislature are allowed to become minister for 6 months

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.

@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.


That moment when you reach last bubble. That feeling. Cannot be described in words. I hope everything turned out good for that human being.

I know it may sound weird but I just won a bet with my friend. I had been eating her head since last year saying LaxmiKanth is irrelevant for qualifying prelims but she was like no no-no. Today final, when three years in a row it has been proven that polity can be done with NCERT's only, I feel vindicated! :P
I know I am pretty self-absorbed but yeah! XDDD

@kartikeybhatt171778 Your inference is correct. This is a good example of the sort of thinking needed in the exam hall. Reading the Hindi version seals this question.

Hi guys. In Q75 of Set A, a line was marked accidentally(very faint though) at the edge of bubble C. I have otherwise marked it as A. Any idea as to how OMR scanner will scan it?Please help.

Has anyone by chance checked with Jatin’s key?

I did. How much are you getting? Though his key to a few questions seems wrong to me. 

Me too on second thoughts. Around 105-110. How was it for you?

I think it's percentage based( black to non-black in an area, maybe above 60% or so). So no worries, OMR wont scan the line.

Getting around 105....Long commutation of 5 hours in the morning made me sick...Made silliest of mistakes which could have been avoided any other days. Chances?

Same. 105-107 from Topper's Answer Key, Jatin's. Hoping it to be above par. Seeing the randomness of the paper and it's potential to make us arrive at the wrong answers, I think cutoffs should hover somewhere around 96-98 max. What are your thoughts?
