[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.

i have very bleak chances to clear pre

after attempting this pre,i am planning to leave this preparation(nahi ho payega humse) and get back to IT jobs

aur ek man yeh bhi keh raha hai ki ab upsc ke sath sath dedicated baki PSC and non-banking exams ki bhi tayari karu(banks exam ki maths reasoning mere upar se jaati hai )

in upsc i can develop my logical guesses,is exam me bhi i applied some logical guesses and derived the ans,but andh tukka marke ans laanayeh completely us din aapki kisma kaisi hai uspe depend karta hai


seniors plz suggest how to prepare others psc exam and others exam dedicatedly with uspc,jisne qualaified kia ho plz reply....bpsc december me hai

@Sherkhan1428 @Patootie @SergioRamos 


 

Really can't comment much about that bhai. I hate State pcs exams, simply because they have questions like,

" Gandhi ji ke chashme ka number kya hai "

A ) 1.00022 B) 1.00023 C) 1.00024 D) tum se na ho paayega rehney do

UPSC still gives you the scope for reasoning. State PCS have minimal scope for that and hence i dont get the philosophy behind those exams. 

MY suggestion: Your mind right now is bruised and you are hurt a little. Allow it to recover.  Let nature take over and allow yourself to heal. If you still have chances to qualify, so be it. Cling on to it and prepare for the next 40 odd days. It will still be a win win at the end of 40 days , even if you don't qualify because you will have momentum and you can carry it into 2021.

Do not take such life altering decisions at this time because you will most likely choose an option which isn't the answer. Make what you will of that advice. But i hope you end up taking an informed decision. Cheer up and bounce back 1000 times harder. My prayers for your well being.

I will better die before answering such absurdity. Yaar, Students ke saath ye state boards kuch bhi majaak karte hai.

Last year idhar bht mathapachhi kiya tha digital signature, clouds, LS Rules, PDT Achary, ramsar, etc etc..Iss baar toh man bhi nhi kr rha..bcoz upsc directy verdict deta hai answer key me..no if and buts...

I am scoring 103.33 from forum and ias baba, 105.92 from vision,drishti and shankar...hopeful of writing my first mains this time..

Last yr scored 96 in prelims..missed by 2 marks..lets hope for the best this time..

iss baar ka prelims toh luck factor pe bht jyada aa gya hai..2-3 tukke jyada/kam lage aur u r in/out..

@gauravbrly409 bhai kya haal hai..i hope u remember me..digital signature pe upsc sala 3 only hi diya ans:)..usi ki wajah se bahar ho gya sala mai last time..

Bro, I am also getting 104.5 . For Gen is that sufficient? Asking because I live in this backward state with no one preparing for upsc around me. So don't have a perspective. Will be happy if you could give some insights

@Raillife how much are you expecting?


@Batmaan 

dont know exactly,between 80-85, actually, i missed some question to mark on omr,i dont know how many ans i have marked in omr between question number 80-100,time nhi mila mark karne ka


and in csat too i am on border

Go fr an IT job n stick with upsc n regulatory bodies prep. Avoid state pcs exms. Vaha pdhai se nahi setting se selection hone ke zyada chances hai. For eg - there r accusations of uppsc selling sdm seats fr 1cr, rfo seats for 14 lakhs etc. Yes ppl do get selected on merit but aise setting wale bhi bohot hote hai. And not to forget the 3-4 yrs cycle in which they complete one recruitment.Compared to that,upsc is atleast a fair body.

So my score is 89.33 from vision taking the preamble and financial debt question wrong. I had told myself if it I dont clear its okay, I did everythng I could and maybe this is not for me. Life has greener pastures elsewhere

But yesterday  i discovered I had solved one question right, and in hurry (coz it was an easy question) marked wrong option. Means I solved 1,2 are right, and 3 is wrong, but maked 123 in answer. Blunder. 2.66 gone. 

Now the guilt is sinking in. Maybe without marking mistake I would see hope right now. Not even considering those questions that I thought I could  maha tukka-guess their as answer and mark but ended up not attempting due to the huge risk. Unlike my mock performances, I become risk averse during exam. Always. Since 2017. 

This was my 4th prelims. Every exam before I panicked n couldnt solve easy questions in exam. And this time I didnt panic, yet made similar mistakes. Was having meltdowns every day since last 1 month, would either shout at somone, or cry. Staying at home, unemployed-unmarried-total failure is not easy. I had good job, was one of thes best in my office, smart intelligent,had an mba call, left it all for this exam.
 
This year I was at home(before was in Delhi since my colg-job everythng was in delhi before, had been staying there since so long). Could often hear parents  telling neighbours "iska work from home hai, thats y at home", or telling other family members on fone how I sit in home all day, old and fat and unemployed. Its hard for parents to see their children like this, they have expectations.I broke down everyday when I heard this, cried for sm time, n started studying  again. I did everything  I could. But its not enough. This is not for me.  So it ends for me now. 

Havent filled up CAT.will fill up whatever forms come out now.have to painfully do mba or give all job  exams i can find n listen to parents saying how i kicked mba before. Already heard relatives se how i kicked a good job before. Anyways. Itna minutely  khud ko dissect kr lia h is exam se, totally unnecessary.  Exam do. Hona h hojaega. Nahi hona ho, nahi hoga. Itna dimag nahi khrb krna h apna. 

Ps. Can somone plz tell me how to delete account here? I just cant seem to find the delete option..

Start preparing for mains.
Cutoff will be 91-95 this year.
UPSC has shown mirror to the ORN and MN factories of coaching wala's.

@rahulgandhi yaa I also marked D bit I think the coaching walas are correct. Had the statement mentioned 'defines' instead of 'provides' than the answer would have been D. But several articles of constitution explicitly provide for the judicial review.


This is what these test series' do to us.

Looking for statement to be wrong all the time.

I have also marked it as D thinking that judicial review is nowhere mentioned in the constitution.

But I know it is wrong.

What usually happens when a question or option gets wrongly translated in the Hindi version of the paper. The Gandhi Irwin question has got many Hindi students worrying




Civil Disobedience is notAsahayog Andolan. 

So what is likely to happen? Grace Marks, Cancellation of Question, Ya fir Jo chal rha hai chalne do?

Even now i think 3 only is wrong ans.

But kya kare,upsc ne keh dia right hai matlab right hai. 

Yaar mera har baar 10 marks bad ke aata hai market keys se.
In 2018 , i was even privileged to get forest mains due to this.

Mai kai baar bolta hu .. UPSC talks in general language because they have to maintain equity and equaility of difficulty level.  UPSC sirf delhi coaching se trend aspirants ke liye yaa IIT and premier institutes ke liye exam nahi banati .. They create exam and questions in such a manner that everybody will have equal chance to fight in hall. And , They do this by talking in general sense !!   Wahi sahi nikalte hai answers.
But, koi naa.. Period. Is bar to bas mera 92 bana hai all clean and cut .. lowest ever. Good news is - Paper 2 me i only attempted maths and almost all are correct(Lesson learned from 2019)
But, Koi naa  Bholenaath sab dekh rahe hai  :)

They take english version as correct and do nothing. Its policy of UPSC. I think , I have read in bada waala notifcation i roughly remember.

Going by the same logics why is Indian bureaucracy is limited to policy implementations only. It provides political stability (in broader sense) and works for economic development.


Public policy is umbrella term which subsumes all the functions stated in a,b,c.

@jordan_belfortCoaching centres and Mock test series condition us to think in a certain way, which causes us to make silly mistakes and Blunders in Prelims.
That is why Read standard textbooks, with NCERT's as base. They will orient aspirants to think/understand the topics in a certain way, which UPSC wants to evaluate through exams.

YE jo jugglery of words hai na "only" pe ye karo ,,, all pe ye nahi hoga .... science me D maaro ...... etc etc. YE sab coaching gyaan hi hai. OR test series are framed in such manner.
UPSC previous years ko exam se pahle log solve kare not to gain advantage but  ... to get adapted with UPSC language... That will help too much in eliminating the dubious catchphrase in UPSC questions.

Not only to hindi medium .. but to all vernacular people. The thing is - English version is the only correct version and vernacular version is just subordinate to it. Your frnd is from hindi states... what if - such things happened in other vernacular translations ??
It should be taken care of properly.
