[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.

I don't understand the fuss about the question on preamble. 

SC can (and does) use it while interpreting the constitution. Isn't it?

Several laws have been made in concurrence with the preamble.

@Udit_pathak you should include blockchain, gene wala question , biochar too and that current account deficit one because it was asking about the present.

@Challenger_Deep I don't know as I am not very experienced in this game. But from the official answer keys that I saw while doing PYQs, they have never dropped a question. So it seems as if it's just a tactic to avoid court cases which plague state PSCs.


Tactic by whom. Kindly elaborate.

@Equalizer it depends on interpretation of words if there is "issued" than it would be 3 and if it's debt held by than all are correct ....i think it's going to be three only

One more thing in national biofuel policy it's true that given four options can be used but there is also a point three in the notification of government that in order to make farmers get more price for their produce all excess cereals and farm grains can be sold for biofuel with permission from government ,,I think all can be correct on lines that during covid excess rice was converted into biofuel

It's only a speculation that upsc can make it all are correct however it's also a fact that only four out of six are clearly mentioned

One more thing that questions related to bio diversity areas are getting tougher day by day , upsc should start a Pre selection Bharat दर्शन that may include few national।parks across India for better elimination tactics

Bhai u will further reduce my marks. I tried to go through original policy but could not find in English. The one mentioned in PIB may not be exhaustive and u may be correct.

@Equalizer Are bhai I meant people go to Courts in state exams due to which process gets delayed. So UPSC might have brought this mechanism to avoid such cases as they can easily say that they have a mechanism to deal with grievances. It's just my speculation, maybe they do take it seriously.

@Biradar in that case everyone will get marks who has attempted or no one will get marks ?


It does not matter in the competition in either cases ..  One who has marked correct and added to his marks ll loose big as no more advantage .

I think all those who attempted get marks. That's how it works. Those who skipped don't get marks

I think almost everyone who's scoring above 90 must have got this q right. So this question deletion won't effect much the cut off.
