[Result Out] Mains 2011, More than 20 of our members have made it through !

[mango_dolly]

Sorry friends to barge in between, but I had to ask few things .. had created couple of threads, but to no avail. People only check threads(high number of views but no replies) but don't bother to reply !!

I am new to this forum and CSE preparation and I must mention one thing that I have noticed about this forum. Seniors(preparation wise) are not forthcoming to help newcomers with their doubts. I have opened couple of threads in past, but no replies !
People will only check threads, but don't share their views. I don't understand why ?

Anyway, cribbing any further, may I request if the grapevines here also help answering some of my queries:

1. What should be the study strategy for Indian Polity? How important it is for Mains? I don't seem to remember any of the acts, articles, schedules etc. I am going mad. If someone has posted something about it, please guide me to that thread.

2. Between Sociology and Geography as the second optional to Pub Ad, which one would you suggest to a new comer, citing their pros and cons?

Thanks for your help here.

P.S: Abhikrt, I remember you posting in one of my thread, so drawing the distinction here !! :P

Hello,@mango_dolly,
Regarding Polity: Buy Polity book by laxmikant. This is very comprehensive book. In chapter 3 there are '..at a glance'' tables. Mug them up. Constitution at a glance, Imp articles at a glance n Schedules at a glance, Sources at a glance. When you have done this proceed to chapter 1 and start mugging.

There r no pros in cse only cons, n Union Public Service Commission being greatest con artist. So go through syllabus n decide urself. Sociology will help in essay n GS.

guys since there are very many candidates this time who inspite of leaving a big portion of paper ,have managed to have a place amongst those candidates who were going to face the interview.

do you guys think it will benefit those candidates who have completed the paper..

as every time said, its the total marks that matters and not what one left in one paper or completed other paper....
hope u completed ur papers well and pray that yu are well above mains cutoff to convert the intw call easily. Forget worrying about others.

[gayathrirk]

My interview is over and it was terrible. I had V. Reddy board. He was friendly-ish. I couldn't answer even a single question by one of the members (he asked technical questions from my MBA) and he gave me poor feedback. I answered questions by other members more or less satisfactorily (I think). Every question was factual, no opinion or situation based questions at all. All questions were from Public Administration, MBA, Engineering.

So there is no hope for me this time.

For general understanding, may I request if you can share few questions asked, especially the ones you couldnt answer?

Everyone's got a chance until the results are out! so cheer up and share the questions in detail if you have the time

do you guys think it will benefit those candidates who have completed the paper..

it depends upon the quality of ur answers and not quantity... attempting less marks with quality answers( for eg., 280 marks on 300) is much better than attempting all with avg ones... but there is a threshold level for leaving marks too. u cant leave above 30-40 marks in a optional paper..

By the way finished interview today.. KK paul sirs board..Contrary to public perception, it was very cordial board..

@gayathrirk It is perfectly fine if you are not able to answer even 20-25% of questions. You have a decent chance

@jennysharma its not a big deal. on an average every one has left 100 marks only in GS

@jennysharma: An old Tibetan saying: Don't worry about things you can change, it is not necessary;
Don't worry about things that are not in your control, it is futile!.

Why not just enjoy the process of this exam, as it were...we will soon have all the ans in a few days
