[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.

those who are speculating on higher cutoff.

my take on cutoff

1. what is the cutoff of last two years? 2018- 98, 2019- 98

2. is the exam difficult than last two years? definitely, not only last two years may be last 5-6 years

3. also the exam is bit lengthier

4 so cutoff will reduce at least by 1-2 marks or it will remain the same....it will never cross more than 99 at any costs

so those who are above 95 start preparing for mains and dont waste time....this is my last post on cutoff.

For MPLADS, upsc will take statement 1 as correct. I have never seen upsc dropping a question. It will probably go for the most appropriate among the 4 options.

Representation se kuchh hota bhi hai ya it's just a formality. Can we expect them to check  everybody representation ya fir unlogon ne koi AI banaya hai :joy:

Even if we Consider last year's preparation level of students ----

1--The tough question paper will lead to atleast 1 mistake under pressure by a general student. This will result in reducing an avg of 2.67 marks. 

2--to save negatives many of us reduced their attempted questions. (At least 1 mark difference) 

3-- corona crises, less prep due to closure of coachings, library etc, last attempt candidates(within age limit ) preferred skipping this attempt etc etc factor(not seen before) .... 1 question reduced(-2.67)... 

So cut off will be around 98-2.67-2.67-1=91.66

Also, even if upsc provides the paper in Persian language some of the candidates will still score 110+:stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: so don't loose hope nearly 10,000 will write mains and cut off will be below 93/94.

@jagteshwar_sohal25614 nobody will troll u bro u r entitled to ur opinion...but only question i have for u is how can a paper which is difficult than past 2 years will have a higher cutoff than past two years?

Second and most important things---

1--instead of convincing others regarding answers it is better to convince urself abt ur chances for mains. 

2--wasting 20/30 days in discussion will ultimately result in underperformance in mains... This will have an adverse impact on this year result. 

3--remember how rank 2 in 2016 was on cut off (116 marks) and still topped the exam.... So whoever is near cut off range should start mains prep ASAP. All the best 👍💯👍💯👍💯

Yaar some people are suggesting 104 cut off. Even I have a few people who are getting 100 plus. It is so scary. God save us.

When I was doing the paper I found it to be very tough...
But once I came home and analysed and worked out the paper,it was easier than last year...
What is putting people off is unheard off terms like fertigation and the lengthiness of the paper...polity and economics were definitely easier than last year..the paper definitely looked tougher but once you got down to solving and navigating the options,it was doable if you had conceptual clarity...csat was tougher than last year...cut off IMO 103-104...

It has been 3 days now guys! Let it go! Most of the keys differ anyway. Literally no use of discussing answers. It only hampers our chances in Mains. 
It all brings stress and anxiety, nothing more. Avoid it. Match from 2-3 keys, take an average and move on!
