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.
Make a request to UPSC to reduce cutoff citing covid related exigencies..For paper 1 the competition itself decude cutoff and thus any issue due to covid is equally for everyone..But paper 2 has fixed cutoff..which can become difficult for people who are on the birderline.. So a logical representation can be made to UPSC.....Just a suggestion to help out..
Any changes in what was in original notification will bring case against UPSC . Thats not how works in govt . Something like that happen in private hiring company .

Why not to make a representation to increase intake for mains say to 14000. This much they use to take in 2015 I think. And also about csat.
Government don't have money to pay that much salaries. It's not 2010 for Gods sake.
Believe me, I can very well understand ur situation brother , it resonates with me and many others sailing in the same boat! So u r not alone buddy :)
Got a good message on telegram, seems relevant to our current situation so thought of forwarding it to u all. Its on "ACCEPTANCE"
When we don't accept an undesired event, it becomes Anger;
when we accept it, it becomes Tolerance.
When we don't accept uncertainty, it becomes Fear;
when we accept it, it becomes Adventure.
When we don't accept other's bad behaviour towards us, it becomes Hatred;
when we accept it, it becomes Forgiveness.
When we don't accept other's Success, it becomes Jealousy;
when we accept it, it becomes Inspiration.
Acceptance is the key to handling life well.
May Joyful moments be with you !!!

For the Rakmabai question,
I have this interesting anecdote to share. There is a show called BBC hindi. Comes on weekdays at 10 p.m. on NDTV India. My father is a daily watcher. About a month ago, Rakmabai had a special episode on her there. My dad called me and asked me to watch, maybe could help me in my preliminary exams. I rejected it saying it is too offbeat and UPSC would not go there. Did not watch.
Come October 4th. When I saw the question, I smiled, even though I could not answer it.
I am getting 97-100 based on various keys. I was just thinking, what if I lose out by one question?
Thinking of the butterfly effect here, if I do get stopped at prelims and have to wait another year, it would be just because I did not watch a 10 min clip, which my father especially called me to watch.
Life is.................interesting! :)
