[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.
This year, Shankar is gonna be so wrong. .. Cutoff will be
Gen =92-95
EWS= 89-92
OBC= 90-93
SC= 78-82
ST= 73-78
actually it will be higher than shankar's prediction. they have seriously underestimated how high people are scoring this year
There are always some people, who score way higher .. I am an ST candidate, serving in State services , giving prelims since 2012, cleared prelims 5 times, appeared in PT 3 times. You must have been undergrad, or in high school by then. Trust me when I say, the cutoff won’t go higher this year than what i quoted earlier
ignoring your condescending tone, why dont you check out some of the polls? there are not just "some" people scoring high, its way too many. This year's options were set up in such a manner that anyone taking so called obvious guesses (typical prelims tricks) is scoring high.
For proof, u can check out polls. Even polls of reputed institutes like insights say almost 4-5k people above 105 in a sample of 20k, so you can do the math.
Now an experienced candidate like you will argue that polls are filled with fake scores, or insights is not a reputed institute, so go ahead believe what you want.
Also, coaching institutes 1. have an achor bias to previous year cutoffs, they are particularly scared to go higher. they may go lower when papeer is more difficult, but they tend to not go higher as seen in 2016 (compared to 2015). 2. lower cutoffs= more test series sold.
obviously above points are disputed. But this is the most objective way to look at it
Tougher paper, lesser appearing candidates and yet cutoff going higher. Yes that's strong logic right there.

only non-serious candidates dont appear, serious ones won't skip for the fear of corona or anything else (majority of them)
legendaryAB,
Let's take up the chat when UPSC declares this year's cut-off of prelims next year. Experience always triumphs over the speculation.This year, Shankar is gonna be so wrong. .. Cutoff will be
Gen =92-95
EWS= 89-92
OBC= 90-93
SC= 78-82
ST= 73-78

@Rakhmabai I have marked A.
I attempted 39 questions from CL and shankar getting 26 correct in both. To qualify I need 4 more passages to get correct. Kuch question CL ke alag Hain shankar se.
I relied on right 2 privacy(d) ,asset allocation(a), fdi volatile(a), pds(d),dam(c), gas based economy 2nd part (a)
I need 4 in my favor in these questions
Asset allocation is A.....refer to@Aurang_mirasudar articles ...
Right to privacy is A
Refer to links he provided.. I also checked today very useful...verbatim uthaya hai bhai
Bhai Pura 1000 words k articles me or only 50 words k passages me answer change nahi hote Kya. I mean in newspapers articles context we can understand by reading 1000 words but it us very difficult to have same context in 50 word passage.
Last year question on malnutrition and polysaccharide something..every institute has given c ..upsc gave D....Google the passage..u get article on indian express...image k neeche line hai...related to policy which is the option D ..and finally answer D ...I did all the research after@Aurang_mirasudar articles. ..now I m convinced...and those questions u are right in 2020 csat also ..u can google and check ..u r right as it is picked up verbatim
Caesar,@Rakhmabai Please don't rely on CL answer keys. Even I got panicky when I checked. I cross-checked their previous Csat answerkeys (2018 and 2019) with the UPSC answer key. They mostly get 5-6 RCs wrong.For, Asset allocation- have marked B( though now I believe that the answer is A)FDI-BDam: DDidn't attempt the question on gas based economy.
Asset allocation - why cant it be b . In the passage it was mentioned people prefer to keep money idle,unproductive but safe fearing risks in investment.so they should invest to generate wealth.But im 100 % sure that upsc will go with A following previous trends.

No dear. I personally know many serious candidate writing mains 4 the last 4 years not taking exams.

When I was returning to the centre for 2nd paper my friend shared answer of 2 gs questions I said I marked A in minister Wala and D in G 20. I felt very low suddenly after knowing the answer and It cost me easy 2 questions of Quant. Lesson learnt not to discuss any question in between the gap.
Blueberry,I was one of the serious ones. Serious one's don't go on tukka spree. Those who are scoring 100-105+ are the ones who have guessed right in exams. But there are more losers than winners in this Tukka game. In the end, House(UPSC) always wins. You can't have 5k+ Gen candidates, with each one of them landing the Tukka's correct.This year, Shankar is gonna be so wrong. .. Cutoff will be
Gen =92-95
EWS= 89-92
