  • No way there will be direct bias against 3r dor 4th attempters. The only possibility is to ask the examiners to correct people's answers if they have a fresh and original perspective unlike a senior aspirant whose answers can be made out due to monotonicity!

    What fresh perspective can u expect in philosophy?
  • how do the examiners know whether the copies they are checking are of 4th/5th at tempters?
    :-/

    there is no way it could be related to info. given in answer sheets.

  • Such a bias, if at all there, is only possible at the interview stage.

    i can relate with your feelings at the moment..even i am in the same boat.

    but until you see your marks you can not deduce any conclusion

  • My fiance has cleared mains in his fifth attempt. (UR - Sociology) So I don't think UPSC has anything against them.

    even in interview stage...if their is bias,,it will be very dangerous bcs again wasting whole year and getting big zero..but i might be getting little negative after blunderfull and unexpected result..
  • Have you eliminated confounding factors like - 3rd/4th attempters (like me) are... well... 3rd/4th attempters?

    no sir,,not confounding,,but counting 3rd/4rth attempt in one bracket..as the mentality is same in 3rd/4rth attempt....then in 5th/6th attempt and earlier in 1st/2nd attempt
