In some of answers i have crossed the right side margine by single alphabet. There might be 2 such incidents in each paper. Does examiners cuts marks for that?

@AzadHindFauzyou paki anti national. He is ModiJi. How can you not suffix Ji in his name. He is honourable to all of us, our coming generation, and to our ancestors also. Dont dare to remove Ji from his name otherwise we sanskriti rakshak, and deshbhakts can beat up your g.

(total pun and deshbhakti intended.???)

PS :- i just missed that you are from azad hind fauj. It means you must be leftist. By that logic you are not paki anti national, you are dpg eater chinese anti national. Pardon my mistake.

Having spent long time in this process.. these days I'm praying God only one thing..
If I clear mains..be it with good margin.
Or else ..just stop me at this point.. I'll grieve for sometime. Then I'll make peace with myself that this is not my cup of tea and move on with my life.

Last year I cleared mains with so thin a margin that even if had got a 200 in interview I wouldn't be in the list. My entire efforts for interview is sheer waste of time and energy. Post result I didnt get time to make any significant tweaks in my prep. And result was similar performance in mains as last year. It's so frustrating.?

exactly. i know how it feels. best thing is to either fail completely in prelims itself so that you could revise your prep plan or clear the exam with flying colors. no in between this. we do not get enough time to to make necessary changes after failing in final result.

@hirockyrocks7101ya..GS1 was screwed like everyone...I got 10-15 less across all papers.

10-15 marks less in each paper is just a single mark less in each question. that can be improved with proper techniques.

@atuljino. Test series score has least corelation with actual exam score. Somewhere i have read that kanishka kataraia use to get 60_70 marks in vision test series but eventually he topped the examination. And this is the reason why no test series shows the 'checked' copies of the topers with scores. They know that they are nowhere near to the actual performance in upsc mains.

@vvvikas0078212no-one needs interview guidance. This is just personality test. Just be honest. Please don't come to Delhi. U will waste ur money.

UPSC CSE is a very easy exam. One topper said that while filling form he was not aware that there three stages of the exam (even my maid knows there are three stages). While selecting optional he just arranged all the optionals in order and used this trick "aada pada kisne pada, miyan ji ka ghora pada". the word pada came on PSIR. So he selected PSIR as his optional. Again he did not prepare for GS4. he wrote from reflections of his life. Also he didnot write a single essay before mains. He did very smart study n prepared GS1+2+3 and optional in the gap b/w prelims and mains. So in just 5 months he became IAS.

So if your IQ is upto the level of this IAS, then no need to come to Delhi for interview as well. Also if you have any financial issue you can well sell your house as last year one topper sold his house for preparation. if you don't have house then you will have to sell your kidney.

Thank you

One thing we need to keep in mind is, we all have an eternal urge to show how much different we are from crowd. Many people are here who wants to join the services to show ki हम भी कुछ है. We need respect, recognition and reward for our uniqueness. And scientifically we all are same. Same specie, hame harmonal changes, brain of equal size and all.so, to show our uniqueness, we create such stories to show that im different than you

Result provides us such opportunity to showcase this uniqueness. We all know we normally study for 8 to 9 hours a day. **So 2 types of toppers emerges because of their eternal urge of uniqueness.

  1. Who says he studied for 18 hours a day while you moron could n9t cross a 8 houts barrier.
  2. Who says he cleared exam with daily 2 hours of preparation while you aam janta couldn't clear it with 8 hours of preparation**.

In both case, while accepting their story wr need keep in mind above issues. Otherwise that story could make us feel inferior (which toppers ultimately wants)?

@zombieland

Some people are Karun Nayar, who accidentally gets triple century (read success) but don't cross even 30s in next so many innings.

Even Tej Pratap Yadav (Lalu Yadav's) son became youngest health minister but now him being a psycho mental is an open secret.

Some success too r accidental.

Case of upsc cs, nayar and yadav all are different.
Nayar had the ability and thats why he could make up upto national team. He had a practice of years. He didnt hit the triple tonn accidentally in a single ball. He was consistent for whole of his inings. His downgraded performance thereafter has many reasons.

Yadav became the HM, not because of his ability but because of his birth in a yadavs family. That was luck factor afterall.

In upsc cs, you have to write 25000 words in mains. That cannot be a mere luck or accident. You cannot accidentally write the economic data or constitutional articles. You have to put the efforts. What you tell people can be a different story than what you feel yourself. This things are called as lieing, image management, or PR.

Exactly thats what i want to say. Upsc is not a black and white organisation. It has its colourful shades. Definately luck plays a role. Even i have faced it many times. But, mere luck is not what needed to clear exam. Hard work is the basis on which luck favours. Upsc has too much of loopholes which can be exploited for once gain. But choosing optional by aada paada koun pada is not one of them. At some extent you might do that betweem pub admin and psir or in between socio and anthro. But claiming to do thay from entire optional is utter nonsensical. So imnot saying upsc is fullproof but im saying ki such exaggerated claims can be demotivating for other ignorant beings.

@MadamSir said inMains 2019 Preparation and Discussion Thread:

is it true that the examiners are ideologically biased and reward/ penalise answers accordingly?

also, is it true that the government of the day selects mostly those examiners who are amenable to its ideology?

Every person is ideologically oriented and everyone believes what they think as rational and true. So yeah, there is the possibility that you might be right winger and if your paper goes to left winger examiner then you could be butchered. Same goes opposite. Its not just abput ideology but it reflects in every dimensions. Like even if you are hindi medium student from bihar and if your paper goes to person from banaras, he will ultimately think ki "कितनी अशुद्ध हिन्दी लिखी है" and will cut yyour marks.

No idea about examiners. I dont know whether govt choose the examiners or upsc does that work.

agreed.

and yes, possibly the upsc does that work of selecting the examiners. but if the government asks the upsc not to have jnu profs as examiners, i think upsc would go with that, don't you think?

Ideally upsc is a constitutional body and free from govt. They dont have amy post retirement opportunity from govt. So again they do not have to bog down to them.

But practice may be different. Upsc member and chairman is appointed by President (Govt) so its very kuch possible to manipulate them. I personally know some people who have deep deep hands in upsc. Personally i was aware about some members appointment even before they were selected. (i was there in one organisation who shortlisted their resume amongs 400 people)?
