Shankssaid

was today's entrance test offline paper and online paper same? 


also i totally agree tht csat shouldnt be given an extra day, rather breaking into chunks as Vansh said ☝️ is better maybe not half an hr but like 10 min 6-7 question extra 

Apparently not! Offline paper seems to be different from the online one!

@lord_voldemort yes! but WWF website says it is. So i think forum went with that.


Yeah I expected Forum to pick this link and say that Olive ridley is the smallest.
But does that solve the problem? I mentioned two websites which clearly mention about both Kemp and Olive Ridley and clearly say that Kemp is the smallest.
WWF-India is Indian specific and we dont find Kemp here, and so they mentioned only about Olive Ridley and said they are the smallest.
NOAA is not a chillar website, NOAA is a US Govt backed agency, so it is authentic certainly... It is giving the sizes of both Kemp and Olive Ridley. 
The problem is not one question or 2 marks in SFG, but what if this same question is asked in the UPSC?
This is where we expect the faculty to give us confidence. I dont think Merely mentioning another website to support the answer mentioned in the key is the right way. It's the same as what I did right? I gave a website to back my claims and FOrum has given a website to back their claims. But what is the right answer? And how to tackle such questions if UPSC asks them is what we need!!!

The explanation in corrigendum doesn't solve the confusion that rose on account of this. And the main concern is most definitely about what to do if it is asked in the actual exam.
