[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.

Debt issued will be t bills only, most probably. After checking IBC am convinced that shankar, like digital signature has got this correct.

Anyone has mains previous year questions arranged topicwise?? A document most probably of forumIAS was shared here 3-4 months back

It would be a great help

Also, rakhmabhai will be 23 only. Not 123. Shankar has got this wrong, they took rakhmabai defence committee too into account which shouldn't be done

Can anybody help regarding the following- 

Q. Which part of the constitution of India declares ideal of welfare state ? For this question, all answer keys have provided answer as DPSP.

I marked it as preamble thinking that preamble is a declaration mentioning social, economic justice, equality without explaining in detail. But DPSP is not just declaration rather it explains in detail what welfare state actually is.

Question only talks abt part which declares. I think preamble declares  ideal which reflect welfare state whereas  DPSP is part where welfare state is not just declared, it is mentioned that too in great detail.

Does anybody else also think the same way.

Also, there is another question related to separation of executive and judiciary, the answer of which is DPSP. So, there was also thinking in my mind , will upsc give same answer i.e. DPSP for two questions in the same paper.

Scoring 100.56 from Vision IAS and same from Forum answer key. Any chance of clearing at all? It’s quite borderline.

@gaurishukla24221 If getting 33% in paper 2, you will surely clear. After getting more than 100 marks, if you will panic what will others do.

For the MPLAD Scheme, theguidelinesfocus on the creation of durable community assets like roads, school buildings etc.

Recommendations for non-durable assetscan be madeonly under limited circumstances.

Consider some of the observations made by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India:

         Expenditure incurred by the executing agencies being less than the amount booked.

          Utilisation of funds between 49 to 90% of the booked amount.

         The scheme envisages that works under the scheme should be limited to asset creation, but 78% of the                      works recommended were for improvement of existing assets.

Statement 1 said 'must' but the guideline of creating durable assets was flouted more often than not.

I marked statement 1 wrong because I vaguely remembered an MP giving ex gratia to a person killed in an accident. But I found no such news on googling.

So Which option you marked if you took statement 1 as wrong ... Indeed 3 and 4 isnt it ?

I marked the same but I think I overanalysed...
I thought dpsp implements the concept of welfare state whereas the ideal of the concept comes from preamble

But I have no hope from this

@Resav_Singh last year coachings ki answer key ke marks se thoda kam aaya tha (was scoring about 109) as compared to UPSC official answer key (106). 

It might happen again (for sure) then won’t be clearing this time around. Margin of error is non-existent this time.

Please send representation for the same 
Even IYB chapter 6 mentions the same

Yaar ab aise sabka kuch na kuch galat hai fir. 

You throw a stone on a question ... By the same deductions based logic ..  Other guy will say some others are wrong. 

I think .. whatever marks we have right now ... 3 or 4 questions may go right while same could go wrong simultaneously. Out current score will be either +3 or so or minus. So, It will be tough to debate and come to conclusion and interpret what UPSC exactly means by such questions. 

We did whatever best we thought and interpreted and studied. 

Let it be so now .. and study 40 days. If not selected... Itna saal se aisi taisi kara rahe hai 40 days aur sahi ... 

That's only wise thing from my little brain i could suggest.
