[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.

Guys, in this buzzing thread can someone help me in calming my nerves: 

Scoring 100.88 or 101.54 from Next IAS and Forum Answer Key. Should I still not be feeling safe?
Also, 2 questions that I am very doubtful in are: 

BlackPeas and Kharif wala question 
and Wellsley ka college? 

What have been the correct answer as per the discussion trend on the thread?

Just saw Drishti RC ..answer..it has more shit than other coaching..

Bhai I started to feel confident ..then I saw drishti key ...score now is 69.

Second attempt, SC category, Marks expected as perVajiram Key: 83.34, Vision key: 80.67, Rau's (Drishti+KSG): 78 in all three,Byju's: 75.34......In my first attempt, I could not qualify for CSAT though I was clearing the cut off for GS I...but this times, I amclearing CSAT comfortably& it seems, I'm on borderline as far as GS I is concerned. Experts, please share your thoughts...

Start studying for Mains ASAP. In case you clear, then having wasted 1.5 months would be a huge issue.

@panbhi26967 just want to clarify the last word of sc verdict.....that preamble has no legal effect of its own.....but many interpretations of the article could be done by the preambla which leads to make final decision.......rest all the best

Just out of curiosity, i compared the

UPSC 2019 offical key for CSAT ONLY for PASSAGE question and the answers provided  by EXAMRACE's passage answers.

So they got 10-11 passage question wrong

(With all due respect to Mam and her efforts)

So the Maximum variation  is 35-36 MARKS, if one considers 2.5 + (-0.83) *11


Given the range, difficulty level of this year's passages i think CSAT BORDERLINE guys have some hope!!!

Padh lo Pantar log, iss saal nahi toh agle saal kaam aajayega. Cheers ;)

NISHKAM KARMA !!!

Getting ~100 marks in GS paper from various keys, but highly unlikely I will cross 66 marks in CSAT. Feeling dejected. I didn't even study for CSAT in earlier attempts and easily scored above 100 and this time I gave 5-6 hrs for it, and still messed up.
