[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.

@Tokyo 

it is either 3 or 123 for dams monsoon RC

but since author emphasizes only on creating space prior to monsoon.. will second option be wrong..hence 3 only

For statement 3

The world over, dams are constructed mainly for the purposes of irrigation, power generation, and flood control. While the first two roles are acknowledged, the role of dams in flood control has always been underestimated. It is unfortunate that in both irrigation and hydel projects, flood control is completely ignored. 

For statement 2

However, it is unfortunate that the maximum amount of water is stored in reservoirs even before the close of the monsoon, only to ensure greater electricity generation and irrigation.

(Note risk is due to electricity generation and irrigation both...not hydropower alone)

hence most likely answer is 3 only here

Also the overall crux of article is “


There should be space for greater storage of water in reservoirs before the onset of monsoon








But the line 'before the close of the monsoon' also imply 'during monsoon' it must not be fully filled and the article also says about over dependence on hydel power means (Option a) is correct. So left with (option d)i.e.1,2 and 3

Yes 123 answer hoga

I have watched a clip from some news channel during triple talak bill on Rakhmabai. The Rakhmabai case has ancedote almost same. But, During exam, I was not able to recall exact implication of that and left the question.
Also, - For vidhwanshak book, i figured out by reverse psychology it is not gandhi and ambedkar and phule and zeroed on option 1 .. but left it as well... I got huge temptations to mark A but being safe avoided the question.

Also for desher katha , I was aware about .. what is desher katha and also that it is related to old bengal movements .. but .. not sure about options. The name "kar" is marathi name .. so confused more .. and safely left it.

ultimately.. what else i could have done .. because I do not have any sound reasoning to do these other than wild guesses.

I have already deducted 0.67 .. and It don't bother me.  You quoted a research paper here but not a a marketable free flowing tech "At present level". If we start searching for research papers ... then... all the questions will get different answers than our conventional understanding.
The present level  -- phrase changes the connotation. Happy for you if you will get it right.
Thanks albeit.

What?? You are telling me that the 85 90 plus wale attempt junta which includes almost 85 90 percent of the whole attempt ing junta left fucking history questions? I doubt it, log to bc ancient pe bhi risk leke laga liye, agri pe bhi. Obviously a percentage would have left it, but i doubt it includes most people

@kartikeybhatt171778  yes there are AI songs, but the issue isAI doesn't generate the whole meaningful song by itself. Artist has to actively intervene, rearrange, and give shape to the incoherently and disjointedly uttered words given by AI. It is given innews article interviewing artist "Taryn Southern"who madefamous songs like "Break free" in the album "I am AI".
Note:Music(just sound) is different from songs(with lyrics)
Also, I think UPSC intentionally made the Q with certain terms("present state", "effectively", "meaningful"), which leads to the elimination of 2,5 statements.

I think only people who have left it...those who measures the risk with every next guesses.  The one who dont measure risk and become brave ...... perhaps  attempted all irrespective of topic or anything. 
I am the first one type.

This is what I am saying.
For 5th let me inform you -  The thoery for wireless transmission of electricity proposed and demonstrated by tesla first time in one of his experiment. since that time to now subject is under reasearch phase only. The first DEMO now for this is happening in newzealand by startup EMROD  in august 2020. Note, Only demonstration .. they are far away from making it vaiable to market.

I believe august is the time when Paper was under development and .. someone picked up this gaga event and put it in one of option.  and "At present level"   --- It may be possible ... but question is not using word possible but .. what can be done or in practice if you say.

and option 2 and 5 if removed completes the  scenario.

@gauravbrly409    Not only question mentions at present level but it also mentions effectively, I dont thing based on research paper answer will be D, most likely UPSC will go with option B.
