Having said that, I believe the examination has become a lot about controlling your nerves as well. A lot of candidates press the panic button too early in the examination. You should know that attempting 60% questions is enough. But most give into the temptation and succumb.
It would be better to switch to a two paper model giving the candidates a chance to recover if they end up having 2 bad hours on a day. It can cost them a year, a huge opportunity cost.The cycle of the examination also needs to be shortened. Present 1 year cycle is too long. 3/3
UPSC seriously needs to reconsider the approach of 'eliminating' candidates through 100 questions alone out of which 50% are designed to be tough. It is harming the chances of good candidates who may easily fall through the cracks at the first stage itself. 1/3
The next time somebody, even the PM, boasts that India is the fastest-growing economy or 5th largest in the world, ask them to prove it. Even Modi will not be able to. Not because of some convoluted statistical reason, but because all our data is too old.

Dear India,
On your TV News channels, you will only see Modi's face because of his PR
But here are the two faces you need to remember, you will not see their faces on any channel.
K Sivan and S Somnath, the men who made #Chandrayaan3 possible
Never forget their faces, they are our heroes โฅ๏ธ
The DU notification making the day of Id ul Zuha a working day without even mentioning Id ul Zuha and exempting those who want to celebrate โthe festivalโ makes one wonder if such a directive is possible for festivals like Holi.
After waiting ten years for justice the SC has acquitted all the accused in the brutal gang rape and murder of Kiran Negi.
Kiran was gang raped, acid was poured into her eyes and empty bottles shoved into her private parts. No one raped & killed Kiran.
SHAME. #BilkisBano gang ๐ง
