[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.

Wireless Transmission electricity answer was wrong as always said. .. and I supported earlier theories of tesla and all that it is only in research phase and  in labs of power sector companies this time. 

The question asked -At present level of

So at present level .. Wireless transmission is in very nascent stage. Recently , In August 2020 (may be upsc preparing question paper at that time) 

New Zealand startup announced a demonstration to show that they have achieved it in lab and want to demo the concept. 

I searched and it is all over the Internet. The below link I am posting from IEEE publishing window itself which published this development on 20 aug 2020. 

Emrod’s laboratory prototype currently operates indoors at a distance of just 2 meters. Work is under way to build a 40-meter demonstration system, but it, too, will be indoors where conditions can be easily managed. Sometime next year though Emrod plans a field test at a still-to-be-determined grid-connected facility operated by Powerco, New Zealand’s second largest utility with around 1.1 million customers.

So - There should not be iota of doubt -At present level of tech , Wireless electricity transmission is not feasible... It is actually still in demonstration stage by various companies. 


Also - Wireless charging is different concept - It uses near field magnetic induction as a transfer mechanism to supply very tiny induced emf. It is not what wireless transmission is. 


Transmission -This term specifically used in power sector to supply bulk of electricity power (high potential) to reasonably long or medium distances. 


So , I do not know .. why people making it right. Its basics of physics yaar that we have all studied in class 12. 





 because it was an SNT question and so every option must be correct. Coaching also seems to have gone by the same logic. If u apply knowledge we all know wireless electricity transmission by AI is not feasible at this stage.

After a lot of googleing ... I found this concept in one of Forbes article.. specifically written. 

i.e. 
US nonfinancial debt rose 3.5 times faster than GDP last year. (Nonfinancial debt is the sum of household debt, business debt, federal debt, and state and local government debt.)

Here is link - 




Debt that government owes to households and private companies is called non financial. Debt that households and private companies owe can be of either kind

Coaching aint experts in anything other than basic syllabus (I doubt that as well).

Also , Are you scientific person .. Then there is lot of science to reject that statement. You dont need to google even. Just read two chapters from 12th physics - Electric field, Magnetism and Wave nature of particles. You will not mark that option true then. 


Equalizer,

Also going by the wording of question short stories and wireless transmission is not possible. They asked at the present state Nd also effectively. These are key words. While marking B I knew all coaching key will give D.

Economy questions were very tricky this time. I found these solution and explanations best among available online:

@gauravbrly409" Financial debt is a debt together with interest, if any, which is disbursed against the consideration for time value of money"
On the other hand, an ‘operational debt’ would include a claim in respect of the provision of goods or services, including employment, or a debt in respect of payment of dues arising under any law and payable to the Government or any local authority.”

Bhai no offence to anyone but moral of the story is 25-30 sure questions ke baad sab guess-mastergiri & tukkebaji kar ke aaye hai paper mein aur yahan pe justify kar rahe hai ki mera wala tukka tumhare wale tukke se zyada sahi hai bcoz of xyz reason and reference and links bhi share kar rahe hai😂.. but tukka is a tukka, if you are not sure it's a tukka, educated guess is also a tukka and at the end of the day upsc hi maalik hai, they have their own discretion. So do give benefit of doubt to yourself in controversial questions and start studying for mains, you will loose nothing.

Do you want a short stories App.
I working on AI since 3 years as software programmer.
I can give you that app to you   within  1 month. It is not only possible there are so many tools to do that. 
Bigdata+ AI= Shorr stories. 

Also ,  We are making Proctored exams to be human less... The project has been launched by Pearson USA now . You dont need human invigilation ... Just fee cameras and sensors and .. Live video frame perception and voice interception (noise sampling technique) ... and it is done. 

Because .. You do not use AI.. that does not mean.. It is not in market. 

Google .. Short stories app by AI .. or music apps by AI. There are so many startups in US and banagalore doing it and some of that already did that at good level. 

Problem with UPSC aspirants .. They are disconnected from how far the world is moving and how quickly. We are more entrenched in tracking SC cases, Govt policies or Economic stats ... Most of aspirants never track latest dovt in sciences or business. Reason is - Reading compilation and ... Even if people read news papers ... They filter such news ki ye nahi aayega. Reliance facebook agreement are iska upsc se lena dena nahi ... But FDi question isi pe hai. Reliance ka vo arm jisme Facebook ne imvest kiya vo non listed hai... FDi ..wham ?
and .. Lot of such questions this year which are not from so called core academic news. ... but from general spice news and they derived concepts from their and asked in exam. 
What I mean to say ... Devision of newspaper ki aap das min me pahle tick kar lo kaun sa news padna hai .. and then aur kuch dekhna bhi nahi 
.
 This is the prevailing you. 
But, UPSC attacked this view as well. The questions are from events instead of some academically aligned news in newspapers. 

Hope you have got me. 

Short stories is very simple to do in AI. Python have a very strong framework to create Deep fake programs and  Everybody is doing deep fakes. Machine learning amd robotic process automation  is thing of past now. Startups are implementing Deep learning now.

Wireless transmission is real and its not recent.Power has been transmitted via microwave and laser in past.. But yes its not ready to be deployed or commercialized . But technology is real and AI can make it more efficient . Always think abt effort that qus maker ll make...

Also .. I attempted 76 only. No tukkas... almost 51 or 52 I marked in round one and then used sound reasoning to do few more.. 
I never did 80 plus in any of my attempts because of quite a gud level of accuracy .. i usually have.

@rafael How AI can make it more efficient .. Can you explain ... 

Indeed wireless transmission is real. There is just one organization which made it to demo stage. And AI is particularly unrelated to it. Secondly, AI just do automation by applying human intelligence. The basic principle of AI ..that what AI provides is in contradiction with this. 

Also - It has been written Big Data ... Then .. Yes .. Big data can make it happen.. Because it will helo in scooping large amount of research data and finding patterns. etc.... 
Let us discuss science here..

Bongiyaan chodna band karo. 


Give me 2 reasons that how can make it efficient 



and what efficient means here. How can you make a thing efficient for which you have no proper tech. 


Aise to mai bolunga ... Tokamak ban gaya hai .. Nuclear fusion is possible to be commercialzed. AI can make nuclear fusion more efficient .. we will make nuclear fusion plant soon. Had hai yaar.

Is there any possibility of tukkabaz pushing the cut off to 110. It did happen in 2016.

This time around a lot of people have their marks hovering in 20s and 30s.

Going by that cut off could cross 105 may be even reach 110 and some website has just predicted 105+-5 as cutoff.

@Patootie some coaching keys had it otherwise (complete prohibition). I feared if I was missing something obvious. Thanks for confirming. :)

I don't think Random guesswork can catapult the cutoff to beyond 105. That is just statistically improbable.
