[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.

@kartikeybhatt171778 I'm not able to come to any view on cse cutoff. Most people i know of are scoring good, but my circle of people is 3-4th attempt people who never had prelims issues. 125+ must gaurantee ifos, lesser than that i can't say much

it was a tough paper. i am getting somewhere around 90. though, i am not sure of my selection, i would certainly not waste time and ensure i spend at least 8 hours in a virtual reading room of sutdygang along with my peers. i might speculate and entertain my insecurities post meeting my daily targets.

Guys what’s the answer for the PUSA variety in CSAT? Is mechanised agriculture the main reason for stubble burning or what?

1. Didn't depend on mocks this time. Solved only 4/5 FLTs of ForumIAS.
2. Worked on PYQs.
3. Tried solving more questions. 
4. Focussed more on basics.

Btw paper was unconventional, luck might have favoured me this time. 


Buddy, thanks a lot for the assistance. In fact you know, I did try the things which you have done. I didn't rely on 40-50 mocks. Just did 13. Abhyaas 5 and Simulator 8. Average in those were in 85. I was pretty confident in my preparation. Didn't go gaga over all PTs/Compilations et al. Rather worked on Indian Express Explained and The Hindu. I am happy that my planning was almost upto mark. I will give full credit to myself for that. Alas, in execution. It seems I am not able to cross the line this time too. I wish next time stars are all okay in my favour. It does pains. And I think I can get you emotions of four prelims. I wish you all success, and let you come out with flying colours. Take care. Study well. All the best for the next! :)

Well, they are ignoring 2 cases in my opinion. 

The correct way is:

5C3 + 5C4 + 5C5 = 16

They are taking 5C3 only. The question uses the word "at least", not "only"!

Very wide range doesn't tell a lot anyway. No one knows what'll happen to the cutoff.
