“This is one more piece of advice I have for you: don't get impatient. Even if things are so tangled up you can't do anything, don't get desperate or blow a fuse and start yanking on one particular thread before it's ready to come undone. You have to realize it's going to be a long process and that you'll work on things slowly, one at a time.”

Subtle_Art,
I am scoring around 105-120 in GS-1 according to various keys, but I think CSA dubayega. I feel soo soo bad right now that it couldn't be expressed in words. CSAT is getting tougher and I feel so fucked up right now. Agar clear ho jata hai mata ke darbar mei matha tekhna sure sure hai. Abhi toh yeh soch rhi hun neend kaise aayegi..soun kaise ab?
I was happy with GS and I think CSAT dekhna hi nahin chayeih tha. Anyways will try sleeping. Kal try kregen to enjoy this time with family.
@sstaarr Wow that is a wonderful score in GS-1, especially considering the type of paper it was.
Don't worry too much about CSAT till the official result comes in. Private ones tend to have a lot of mistakes. Also, just wondering - how did you find the comprehension passages this time around? Maths was tougher this time I know.

I have attempted maths and reasoning jyda this time. I found passages easier than 2021 because in 2021 I knew I was struggling with them. Having difficulty in comprehending them. This time this was not the case. I just hope Passages save me. Although I do think the option framing was on a little tougher side and for sure not so easy.

RCs were easy
Getting 82 as per Forum's answer key. This goes up to 90 in the other keys but I'll stick to Forum for now.
But I have serious reservations against several Qs and would like the faculty to take a relook not that it helps but it may calm down many nerves in the student & coaching fraternity:
1. In the NFTs Q: I think all 3 will be correct ->Because NFTs regularly/very commonly function like membership cards or tickets, are used to provide access to events or give special discounts ->these are all commercial transactions. They're settling for NFTs instead of fiat ->And ofc they've been traded or exchanged at equivalency.
3. In the Mongol invasion Question: I feel statement I must be incorrect but again faculty has already taken note of that.
4. Even the clouds Q ->How can we be so damn sure about this phenomenon working in the same manner everywhere ->Ofc it won't - Clouds would behave differently under different conditions(Take for eg in cold climates ->They'd definitely have higher albedo) ->SO I guess UPSC may take a broader view and accept both statements to be true but if it goes with conventional book wisdom we might settle for None of the two are correct.

Even the options were directly given in the passages.
One thing is for sure, Mast khela hobega answer key main.

In the Somnath Temple Q: Even though I had no clue about the 3rd statement but I was able to deduce that since Radhakrishnan was a huge leader, he would have been there in the inauguration ceremony at least ->And guess what ->It turns out he was actually present. And he also became the president! ->Ideally 3 should also be correct xD & we know how UPSC works ->Broadest possible scenario.
3. In the Mongol invasion Question: I feel statement I must be incorrect but again faculty has already taken note of that.
4. Even the clouds Q ->How can we be so damn sure about this phenomenon working in the same manner everywhere ->Ofc it won't - Clouds would behave differently under different conditions(Take for eg in cold climates ->They'd definitely have higher albedo) ->SO I guess UPSC may take a broader view and accept both statements to be true but if it goes with conventional book wisdom we might settle for None of the two are correct.
5. Even the Bar Council Q is problematic: My view is both statements must be wrong as in the 2nd statement it says Bar Councils(not council/Bar Council of India) ->But we hear very often about multiple other councils(Eg: Bar Council of Delhi /Bihar/etc) ->So, how can bloody all of them have the power to regulate/lay down the rules for legal education and recognition ->What about uniformity & parallels that teachers across institutes were drawing with AICTE/other national councils.
One thing is for sure, Mast khela hobega answer key main.
@ScarredEngineer mera bhi 82 ke aas paas hi aa raha hai kya karun bhai koi chance hai selection ka plz batao
Yes even in general category there is a chance. Prepare for mains. I wasted a lot of time in speculation last year, reflected in my marks.

Am i the only one thinking that UPSC 2022 was much tougher than 2021? Getting a total of 94 in the best case scenario. 105 in 2021.
It definitely was. Elimination techniques were useless in lots of questions. Factual IR questions would have troubled even experienced aspirants. Besides, polity and economy questions while still being conceptual were not as easy as last year.
Given that, around 4k more people will be qualifying compared to last year, cut off might go below 85 as well.
