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.
@TobyStark Hey! Contrary to one comment above, I'd suggest you to get any notes available on PankajCopiers or ImageRunners, etc. There's one selling for around 1400 which IMO looks complete. You can also get a drive link off Telegram somewhere (i'll try to find it) which has few extra resources, model answers, reference texts, etc.Bottom line is do not loose sleep over these notes, or any gaps you encounter in different versions. Ultimately you would have to make your own concise notes, compressing these 6-7 odd booklets into not more than 5-10 pages for each topic of the syllabus, and then keep that as your single reading material. You will have to google stuff you don't understand, develop a good conceptual understanding and then enrich the notes with keywords, opinions off the current affairs. And once that's done you would'nt worry about any xyz notes covering this-this topic, because what you know is already more than enough to produce a brilliant answer. Similarly, follow ups and current affairs are over overemphasised, though now topics like "post-covid world order", "rise of china" are up in importance but ultimately whatever questions will come will require you to address the whole issue holistically, which can be easily tackled with solid conceptual base + newspaper (which we already do). Ultimately in that high pressure environment of mains, you're only going to recall stuff off those few sheets which you could study repeatedly, and not those thick reading material.
2020 is not washed out. 2020 still not gone.
Such up down are the life.
From birth to till date, We have lived every year differently.
Our narrow perception of accomplishment should not define that year is gone.
Mention/ Repetition of negative thought will Re-enforce those thoughts only.
अनुगच्छतु प्रवाहं - go with the flow.
PS : Sorry for free gyan, But I could not resist seeing such negativity only in this thread.

@Adi_das no matter how valid your point is, but what kind of behaviour it is on such a serious plateform?
