  • @failure_2016 , 75 chahiye aisa shruti ki jagah smriti samajh kar accept kar lo.
    Don't worry. You'll pass.
    But you won't if optional gets screwed.
  • I exceeded precis word limit by about 30 words (in Hindi). Kitne number katenge?
  • would it be a grave mistake to write the precis by removing unnecessary words but with direct words from the original paragraph? I did not write in my own language as such. worried now :worried:

    The examiner himself won't know if your words are from the passage.He wont have the entire passage in his head.So chill.

  • Bhai mera nibandh bilkul thuk gaya(3 page, no structure, i dont know context), precis likha hai lekin koi rule follow nhi kiya (bas same words kamsekam follow kiye hain), comprehension k answer usi men se lines uthake aur thoda bahut badlaav karke likhi hai. ab koi upsc ki notification men ye likha dikhado ki 75 marks chahiye aur 90 nahin.. please please please
    75 hi hai....Maine Abhi check Kiya tha
    Dnt worry
    :)
  • What are the rules of precis writing guys? That fu****** knowledge wala passage was just terribly long. I was pissed off reading it. Every word looked like important. I can only omit sentences instead of shortening them. I used lot of words and phrases from the passages directly while omitting a few for word limit purposes. Will they give at least 25 out of 75?

    Bhai no one knows how marks are awarded, but why worry when it's only 75?
    Chill.
    I had finished all except precis and essay in 30 mins. Then I did those two for 2.5 hours. Innovative writing... :D
  • Obsession of upsc with smart city is so much that it came in hindi paper :D
