so guys .. please help me out in solving this...
Bhai, first of secure a job be it pcs or any other. The marking pattern this year shows that it is not performance-marks proportionate. The aspirants have now started making their plan on this marking pattern only. Who knows the next trap of UPSC. So, first be safe and then u cn play as u want. But, plz give ur 100% in pcs as the competition would be Very high. Then come back. Good wishes.
right.. not taking along a backup plan since 1st or 2nd attempt... naya naya josh tha ki 2-3 attempt me kr lenge tb toh net ka itna help b nahi tha.. na hi gharme guide krne .. aajkal toh 12th se log shuru ho gye hain.. kuch na kuch toh dekhna chahiye hi.. andhere me chalna civils k piche lgta hain kaphi ho gya.. andhbhakti..
Mala asa vatak ki tumhi PSC var focus karayala pahije....nantar tumhi upsc varun focus kru shakato....ha majhe personal vichar aahe....baki tumcha var aahe
After going all these marksheets, could we have some consensus about this year's marking pattern among all papers?
It will help in knowing which paper do we need to put more effort. e.g. 140 in Essay looks quite good but is actually pretty avg marks in 2016. So someone with <140 in'16 needs to put more focused effort in Essay. Likewise, say in Paper 2 I feel three digit marks is quite good, but not in case of Ethics. And same with optional, where someone under 260 needs to put much effort to end up in the list this year.
Can we say following would be a decent distribution to get higher rank ( if checking is same as 2016) Essay ~150 GS1 ~110 GS2 ~100 GS3 ~110 GS4 ~120 Optionals ~270
it will add up to ~860 which seems very good score to end up in AIS.
The purpose of this comment is to know (generally for all, and particularly for 2016 mains written candidates) , how much effort one needs to put in which paper to increase her marks.
I know, after DoPT releases score of all selected candidates, it will give clear picture. But that may be too late.
