  • Paper1 was easy this time mostly focused on initial 3 units, paper 2 was slightly difficult compared to last year as nearly every noncompulsary question have one out of 3 somewhat difficult subpart.
    Generic nature of questions this year has increased evaluator discretion so i feel there is going to be greater divergence from our expectations.
  • Hi friends, do we have any telegram group ( which doesnot discuss unnecessary things )for public administration to discuss answers and clarify our doubts. I appreciate your information on this .
  • There is one group though inactive on wtsapp on pub ad
  • Guys what do u thing how well our optional perform as compared to other optional this year
  • Paper 2 was like writing a GS paper. It was difficult to bring out an administrative angle in many questions. Climate change, Net neutrality etc made it a bit tough as far as pub ad is concerned.
  • I feel paper 1 and 2 both are difficult....paper 1 general questions so marking depends more on the evaluator than our expectations and paper 2 new concepts like net nutrality climate change etc were asked which made us to avoid these questions making it difficult ....compared to last year little tricky and difficult...wat do u ppl say....how much u ppl are expecting?
  • My last year score was 141+104 = 245. I had messed up paper 2 badly last year. I worked hard on paper 2 this time but the weird paper threw me off balance again. Best case I expect 280 overall.
    I dont know why many are claiming the paper was easy or simple?
  • Papers were not easy but now pub ad papers standards have gone very high.. So if we get normal questions which can be managed then it looks easy for some people
  • I also found both papers tricky and lengthy.. But paper 2 was definitely more difficult.. I created maximum points for the answers so that examiner gives at least some average marks and focussed on writing more points along with some deliberate diagrams
