Any idea how many of those who get recommended by upsc appear for the exam again.. I m talking about those who do not get IAS or IFS(it's obvious btw)

My personal opinion.. majority of them try to improve their rank..

But the question is.. how many of them succeed in making it to the list again..

VERY FEW... 

Despite knowing what it takes to get into the list they struggle to secure a rank..

Doesn't that signify that this exam is very unpredictable..

Subjectivity of the evaluators and neck throat competition for each mark is what sums up the whole story..


Any comments folks...

Anudeep Durishetty is a good example. He was IRS 2014 but in 2015 mains got a low of 565. Maybe sometimes you just get lucky though hardwork is always there.

However, in next attempt he took a break year and revisited his whole approach to the exam and came with a 950 in mains 2017.

I think his blog is a treasure trove for aspirants. https://anudeepdurishetty.in/my-upsc-marksheet/

On the Hizab judgement, I feel people are not differentiating between Burkha and Hizab as seen in image posted in this thread above.

Also for upsc we celebrated how Indian secularism is more inclusive then French and why is it better. In India Hindus too wear tilak and thread on hand etc. Whereas france has strict ban on any religious symbol.

Also in Sabrimala case you are preventing someone else (women) to enter, whereas in Hizab case you want to cover your head and neck. 

Further it is true that wrong has been done to Kashmiri pandits. But it should be remembered it is always powerful (in democracy, it is majority) oppressing minority. In Kashmir muslims did wrong to Hindus, but similar is case when muslims killed in Ayodhya 1992 or Sikhs in 1984 or Muslims in Godhara or Brus in Mizoram. Though Kashmiri pandits could not return to their home that is tragic but I think that is due to terrorism (foreign nation sponsored) and because they were relatively affluent community so translocated. 

In Albert Camus's words, "Democracy is not rule of majority but protection of minorities." 

Edit: It was highly insensitive and wrong for me to say that Kashmiri Pandits were affluent community so translocated. Hence I want to apologize for my wrong behaviour on such an inhuman action.

I was wondering when I'll see the intellectual comment. Big words followed by random quote to justify everything peaceful people have done. Completely ignoring empirical evidences from all over the world.

I agree, it's alright for minorities to kill majority because minorities are always the ones opressed. The only problem is, Hindus were reduced to minorities themselves by pseudo intellectuals, commies/retards and the fact that Hinduism is a disunited and unorganized religion. It's not even a religion but still only Hindus are religious fanatics.

I said majority killed in Kashmir and everywhere else. Muslims were majority there

- public life me jisko jo pehenna pehene

-secularism inclusive hai tabhi to educational institutions mein unformity karna hai.

-france me public life me hi religious symbol allowed nai hai.

-in kashmir, the locales were also involved in killing of pandits. they were brainwashed and whatnot.

"they were relatively affluent so translocated". translocated. are you onto some sasta nasha or what

-irrelevant quote dhundke main bhi daal dunga thoda der se

 how do u reason Brus rehabilitation in Mizoram or Rohingyas in Myanmar?  Why tag only one community?

rohingya of myanmar ko entertain karne ka hamara koi goal hona hi nai chaiye. its as simple when we have not signed the 1951 agreement and 1967 protocol and no law in place for this.

han ab humanitarian ground pe kuch bhi bolte raho. wo to govt kar hi rahi h. 

bru package kar dia h govt ne. its making sure that all parties are in same page. (ispe info meri kam h ya yaad nai hai). 

now one can again argue how nrc is bad but resources are limited na (regarding rohingya)

Rohingyas mein keh rha hun, Buddhist majority persecuting muslim minority.

Brus ka package kar diya , waah mere sher. Aise toh Kashmir pandits ko bhi kaafi benefits diye hain, even more than brus. 

And list is longer if you want to read, a few famous examples: tamils in Sinhalese majority Sri Lanka; ku klux Klan for saving whites in America; Christian Nazis against Jews in Germany.

Have you cleared Pre form Scheduled caste category or general ? 

And what about mains ? Are you confident of clearing it with general category cut off or from Scheduled Caste category ?

Itni kya frustation hai bhai?
