[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.

@Equalizer  It is very much possible. I am myself an AI programmer. 
What you need is just meta  Data tags , Neural logic and Plumbing code and .. wham. Even I can make such an application proof of concept in one month. No big deal. 

But, How can you transfer Electrons wave in air? wireless transmission of electricity... It was one of Tesla's experiments. But, Till now No Theory of electrical science, magnetics, or say physics exists for such a successful transfer. .... And we all know it. 

Also, Ipad wireless charging is due to Electo magnetic induction... when you put two sheets joined and pass the emf ..induced. No big deal done by apple. Because ... Faraday law of emf exists since years.  That is charging without wire. ... not exactly wireless. Because ... In general parley,. wireless word actually refers .. transfer in something like air as medium. 


For S&T they have considered all correct. But in upsc key answer won't be all are correct.

Cut offs should be around 95 this year.

Please keep reposting this one every once in a while. It calms me down and gives me hope also your rationale behind it. 

I too think cutoff will be 95 give or take 3 marks

That is why .. You have to take broader view of questions... UPSC make general statement as question. They are no more grammer nazi. 

That's people fault .. they go technical.

Last year ka ek aur example :

wtland ke law hamare yaha ramsar pe bane hai kind of .. ramsar ka second statement. 
I marked it worng. UPSC key me same. ... all coaching key taken it as correct. 
Why i marked wrong - Ramsar provides but not so binding ... National sovereignty window se bahar fekna padega fir. Govt total copy paste nahi karte .. ramsar se aligned jarur hote hai. 

So.. General and broad view is answer for all such dubious questions.

@oppenheimer You are right about the framing of the question. it was 'AI can beeffectively used to do'. If AI were soeffectiveat writing meaningful short stories and songs, why has it not replaced even a single less effective top song writer or author? The music producers and publishing houses would love a world where they do not have to pander to petulant singers or authors. Now I did not think so deeply in the exam. I only knew about the landscape diagram linked in my previous comment and that guided me to eliminate song and story writing option. But I feel this question has the potential to be one of the controversial questions this year.

@Tokyo Go to their website. I don't think there's an option to download. But for comprehension questions they are terribly wrong sometimes (reminds me good old CAT days where my verbal marks as per their key were 58 and as per IIMs it was 74). For QA and Reasoning, their answers would be correct.

I don't think there is a correct answer for question on TRIMS. The quantitative restrictions on investments are prohibited. So 1 is correct.

But TRIMS does NOT deal with services. Also it's meant for foreign investment. So we're left with 1 only. But there is no such option. Will they remove that question if representation is sent?

I learnt from my mistakes. I solved maths for 10 days from 11th sept to 20th sept. It cost me a bit in paper 1 .. but paper 2 my full maths is right ..wham. 
in paper 1.. I am able to save my ass though. 
Last year i did almost 35 pessages and 10 maths . Maths bhi galat aur pessage ka to vishwas hi karna foolishness ho gayi hai aaj kal.
