[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.

Had checked the answer keys from 2-3 institutes of CSAT, all gave answer to "How many pairs of natural numbers are there such that the difference of whose squares is 63?" as 2. They should seriously hire few folks who are good in quant before publishing the answer keys.

@MrJ I do have doubt on this when we relate  "the present level of development" with use in " wireless electricity, and creating music & stories "

@Tokyo Tumhare kitne passage har key mein alag aa rahe hain?


Bhai I attempted 23 from RC ...above is the list I shared for 9 non controversial questions ....I have considered these 5 questions wrong 

1. Distribute your wealth ( I marked a but some say b)

2. Private investment ( I marked b but some say A )

3. Urban local body user charge ( I marked a but many say b) 

4. Pusa arhar ( I marked c -2 and 3 but some say d or a )

5. Solid waste management ( c but CL and Rau said a ) 

ur answer n mine answers r almost same...bhai i also have done some hardwork in last 2 days n found that ,,to find Rc answers...we cant rely on you tube videos...as someone has posted whole articel...i think in assumption/rational based question...the crux of whole artice( from where it has been picked) is heading of article...IMO... author of passage cant deviate from original author of article..if it happens then it may lead t wide discretion. This is the reason coachings key r wrong....the only way IMO is to find sourec of question in assumption based question. Actually the assumption in upsc questions r heading of article...

@starks On AI Q:
I think coaching institutes overlooked the terms "present state of development", "can effectively do", " meaningful" in preparing the key.
Also, I too think wireless electricity transmission(not wireless charging) is far into the future(only active area of research in present times).
Anyway, sleepyclasses gave 'b' as the right option. I don't know how seriously to take it. I counted it as wrong

I can feel you bro! 

It's been happening with me too! This reservation is dividing people more than assimilation! It's another kind of divide and rule policy than the ones used by the Britishers!! But nothing can be done now. We have corrupted this system to it's core!

@Aurang_mirasudar Excellent work brother! I'd be thankful if you could clear one doubt I have. In question on malnutrition, the article you have mentioned talks about "delay of marriage, breastfeeding, safe drinking water and vaccination" as solutions. Couldn't find monitoring of PDS by Union Govt anywhere. So, don't you think answer should beB) 2, 3, 4 and 5instead of A) 1, 2, 3 and 4 ?

Therefore, relying on foreign investment in the long term is not an economically sound policy. Policies must be undertaken to revive domestic private investment. The lowering of interest rates may not suffice in the current situation of aggregate demand deficiency, a consequence of weak foreign demand as well as poor domestic rural demand because of two consecutive monsoon failures. One long-term solution is substantial public investment in education, health and environment, which will not only improve India’s socio-economic condition but also crowd in domestic private investment.

Are you talking about the legal effect question?

Yess!

See the polity section of vision discussion , teacher said both a and d could be correct but vision is going with D. But in answer key it is given A.

Thank you :D

You are absolutely correct. I feel many aspirants in the garb of competition have lost their emotional balance.
