[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021

Batmaansaid

@Raillife Accha, I would advise that agar 2 se jyada attempt ho gaye hai toh do take up something else and prepare. I can understand the agony and the pain we feel, when we think our dream is going far away. But seeing the trend of prelims exam, the more calm and stress free you are, better it would be for the  result.

I did the same last year and definitely helped me calm my nerves this time. 

All the best!

@PercivalYes, statement 1 is definitely right because
1) Thequestion of age i.e 25 Years is only applicable for membership of the State legislatureandnot for being a Minister in a state(if he is appointed as minister without being member of state legislature)

2) Till the time a person is duly elected to state legislature as its Member,he can continue as Minister at leastfor6 months.

The question of his qualification/ disqualification by virtue of his age(<25 years) will only arise when he will fill election/ nomination papers for the membership of state legislature

The article 85 , I think it nowhere states as -  So, If you simple rely on that  -  Statement is ditto copied and true.

Also, the qualifications of minsiters are nowhere stated. So, A 18 year old person can be minister for 6 months. But, he cant be member of LA .. as he does not fulfills 25 year age criteria.. he has to give up ministership than. 

Deduction >>An 18 year person with voting rights can be a minister for 6 months only because any person can be a minister for 6 months without being member of house. The 25 year age criterian comes only in picture when you want to be member of house .. so .. you 18 year old can happy go to be a minister but beyond that -  you have to member of house which you cant be .. so cant continue beyond 6 months in any case.

But, If read it along with RPA and all , Then.. It makes all wrong.

That is why, in the question there is nowhere, any mention of RPA-1951. It only mentions the Constitution.

@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.

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

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.

@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 ?

@Negan insights saying cut off can be around 95

Als saying it will between 100 - 104

Cut-off wont go more than 95 in any case. Those who are saying otherwise are just playing with fears of aspirants

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?
