@Tata Fjord was a bouncer. Wrote a complete incorrect answer. Baaki average/below average answers hi hai
Totally. A part of upsc is being rational and sticking to rational, content driver questions, undoing what it did in the prelims.
And yet a part of the commission wants to ask random questions to keep aspirants confused.
In this year’s mains, for gs3 paper while filling the attendance sheet I wrote the first number wrong and then rewrote it again and bubbled the booklet number correctly, I have asked the invigilator and she said it’s ok but I am still worried , did anyone make a similar mistake, should I contact administration to clarify everything is fine
It should be fine, having said that once mains is over, just write a letter to UPSC , sign it, take its photo. Then send it via speed post, and email the scanned copy to upsc.
@Neyawn will they even care a random letter and email i bubbled correctly and the number is also understandable because it is 1 so just a straight line.
The letter is not for them. The letter is your proof, if something goes wrong. Also remember no matter how big aN organisation, a written letter makes a lot of difference.
In my first paper that is essay paper. I stupidly filled my roll number in place of answer key booklet number on the attendance sheet.
The invigilator used whitener and asked me to fill it correctly this time. Will it be okay?
Yes, that should be fine. Focus on optionals. Control the controllables
Does anyone else feel they could have written this point, that point in the actual exam? Especially now going through my optional it's like "How could have I missed writing that point!". It's one thing that you haven't studied/don't know it, but another feeling of immense regret to not write what you did know.
Everyone.
Ever in the history of writing upsc exam.
That has to do with humanities.
@Neyawn I remember you mentioned dirty notes somewhere (something we scribble and throw away at the centre after reading) I used dirty notes for both Optional papers. Just very specific things (Names and works of geographers for Paper 1 and just a few case studies for Paper 2 to quote). I read this for 15 minutes and threw them away 10-15 minutes before the beginning of the exam. Because of the freshness, I was able to effectively quote them! Thanks!
Thank you. Freedom is yours!
Go out now, take a breath of fresh air. Plan a trip to the mountains or the sea shore, depending on weather you are a beach person or mountain person.
@Master yeah man, let's see.. aur log dekhenge toh pata chalega
tedmoselby the architect?
@Neyawn what is the worst case scenario if someone has misplaced the answer. Example like written answer of questions number 12 under questions 11 and so on for 2-3 questions? Will the examiner check the answer. And have any past aspirants committed such mistakes?
The worst case scenario is obvious. If it is is for 1-2 questions, from what I am aware examiners do excercise some discretion there. Focus on next target now.
Crying over spilt milk is of little use.
@Neyawn is it the buzz that most maths people are changing their optionals ?
Every year people do!
Some people do it after 3 attempts.
