05:56 Controversial question of Prelims 2024

UPSC Civil Services Exam is one of the most prestigious exams in the country. It has three parts, the Prelims exam, the Main exam and the Personality test, which you need to clear in order to become an IAS or IPS officer. All other Group A services of the Government of India recruit people through the UPSC Civil services exam itself and because of this, there is a lot of competition in this exam. Hence, your UPSC preparation should be strategic, informed and well planned.

Your UPSC preparation should not be based on blind adherence to any program. Rather you should give a thought about how your are preparing. The best way to go forward is to study the blogs and tips given by previous year toppers about how to go about UPSC CSE for all three stages of UPSC Prelims, UPSC Mains and the Personality test also known as the UPSC Interview, and then make your UPSC preparation strategy accordingly.

Doing static subjects like polity, economy, environment, geography and history for your UPSC preparation is a solid bet to increase your chances of clearing this exam. But this must all be supplemented by current affairs for best effect.

Sir I think checking my answer key was the biggest mistake that I did. Ever since 16 june i haven't done anything except checking the expected cutoff from EACH and EVERY YouTube channel there is. I think I'll go crazy. I'd rather not clear prelims than go through this trauma. Idk about my fellow aspirants but it's impossible to study for mains when your mind is pre occupied with 80/85/90, maine ye kyu tick kiya, maine ye question kyu attempt nahi kiya etc. It's crazy that our whole life depends upon +/-2 silly mistakes. Sir life itni complicated kyu hai sir. Jeevan me shaanti kab milegi 😭😭😭
Edit - Bhai Mera to clear hogya prelims balle balle

In physics, the Coriolis force is an inertial (or fictitious) force which is universal that acts on objects in motion within a frame of reference that rotates with respect to an inertial frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the force acts to the left of the motion of the object. In one with anticlockwise rotation, the force acts to the right.
Formula of Coriolis force = −2𝑚(𝜔×𝑣′)
Coriolis force depends on the object's velocity 𝑣′ as measured in the rotating reference frame.
And X represents cross product of vectors.
And is NOT dependent on the velocity of the wind. As even in a vacuum the coriolis force acts on a planet with no wind in it.
If the question is coriolis effect on wind thenit depends on the wind velocity as the object itself is the wind. If we talk about coriolis force on a bullet then its independent of wind as it only depends on speed of the bullet.
Even ocean currents are influenced by coriolis force even if there is no wind in ocean.
In conclusion,
Coriolis force on wind increases with increases with its wind speed.
Coriolis force in general for any object is INDEPENDENT of wind speed and solely on object’s velocity in that rotating frame,
So 1st statement is wrong.
And the 2nd is correct as at poles the Coriolis force becomes -2mwv (Sin 90 degrees) = -2mwv which is maximum value and at equator its -2mwv (Sin0) which is 0. Hence, Absent.

Answer is B.

Thanks a lot sir for this video. It makes a lot of sense for those who are clearing prelims as well as those who aren't.

I Haven't checked any answer key, it will create unnecessary stress. I am starting my mains preparation after 3 days of prelims paper, If I pass it's well and good otherwise it will help next year. I don't want unnecessary stress or relief at this time.

About red sea rivers. There are 2 explanations why statement 2 is correct. One is that, it is directly written on Britannica and it almost seems to be copy pasted in upsc paper. Another one is that, I know it is written on wikipedia page that there are some seasonal streams, but. Here upsc has played a very good game, they said no water flows into the red sea by rivers. This is true and to validate this, go to Google maps and turn on satellite layout and then observe all the countries around red sea. You will not find any stream flowing into the red sea. There are courses of these rivers which are completely dry. So there may be left over courses of these rivers, but no water in them.

68 - 70 in csat
84 - 88 in gs

Sir, You are really a guiding light. Doesn't matter whether the recipient of your guidance is a failure or a success. The best part about you is, you reach out to all the doubtful minds! Whenever I do clear UPSC CSE, I shall evermore be grateful to you !

[meryton]

Thank you for this. This is my third attempt and I am still scoring around 70. I was extremely disappointed for the past two days but what you said made sense. Irrespective of the cut-off, I want to clear this exam in the future and it is in my best interest to prepare for Mains. So I will begin with Ethics tomorrow.

Northeastern council ka question wrong tha ... representation do dosto

[Anonymous-keng]

Scoring above 93 in GS and 73 + in CSAT from general category

[gravitydrive-mggl]

I feel few answer given in your ans key and most of the other coaching keys are wrong..one question which says there is no bar on president power to prorogue house in session. I think there is always a bar of judicial review of legislative action taken by president and secondly he has to follow constitutional norms, it cannot be based on malafide intentions, thirdly he has to consult pm etc process itself is a bar. So correct answer should be only three. Another is about rainwater composition if you see chemical composition of rain water it always has dissolve gases nothing in atmospheric form so statement about that it contains oxygen in atmospheric form you can refer to lecture soest hawai about rain water composition, sci direct research paper, usgs report on geochemical action of rain water. So correct answer should be c.. As third statement is wrong. Third one about united States government debt is backed by only faith in government. There is no such clause as only faith. What clause is full faith and credit. Question misses the world credit. Full faith and credit is much stronger legal term than just faith in government. Therefore second statement is wrong. Correct answer should be c automatically. Another one which i am 50-50 is csr activity is not allowed if it directly benefits its employees/company..my argument js that there is exception to this rule as till financial year 2023 companies were allowed to show expenditure in covid research/vaccine etc as csr activities and it allowed expenditure normal course of business. Any expenditure in normal course of business will benefit the company directly. Also the csr rules doesn't mention anything like expenditure which directly benefit the employees it mention that if the activity is designed exclusively for employees or companies then only it can be considered. But if it benefit both public at large and employees/companies and it cannot be distinguished then it may be considered as csr activities.
