This concludes BES16 Lecture series for prelim-2016. Best wishes to all serious players.
Thank U Mrunal Sir and Team……..
Thank you soooooooo much Mrunal sir.These series helped me a lot.
Sir this is unfair all upsc exams age Cuttoff is january including ssc cgl but upsc cse counts aug …
Why??~~
victim of the same strategy..i decided late, it was my first and last chance. missing next year’s chance by 17 days. hoping against hope for the cutoff to come down.
Thanks Sirji, You are great
Paper was easy but made silly mistakes
. Getting around 113..very confused what to do..
Sir waiting for your analysis on 2016 prelims
This was my first attempt
I got 110
Thanq very much for your help.
Sir please post your expected cutoff
Paper was very easy . Answer were direct. So very easy
But actually it was like u prepared for biology and get very easy question paper of chemistry in biology exam…
Soo low level of upsc never expected by anyone… Question on movies!!!!
no doubt only 2 type of person got selected. 1 who study everything .2 those who prepare for other exams and read 50rupees annual gs magzin on last 3-4days.
Main will definitely gave result to those serious who clear this cruel jck of upsc so called preliminary..
Thanks mrunal sir……solved many questions bcz of ur lecture series……
thanks to rajtanil ma’am n pratik sir …..really made history enjoyable….
Getting around 95 any chance ????
Getting 111? Any chance???
now a days upsc started asking stupid n cheap clerical questions like man who new infinity n all types ..right mrunal sir ? … anyways thanks a tonne .. i got to know about those from your current series.. \,,/ indebted to you sir .
Hello sir,
Can you post a quick take on what you thought about the Prelims exam? You had advised us to focus on BASIC NCERT and go it easy with current affairs. The exam was a surprise from that point of view (not holding you responsible though!). Also what do you think is the SAFE ZONE for mains? How should we start with Mains prep? Sir, also can you do an analysis of GS1,2,3 papers from 2015 focusing on “WHY WAS THE QUESTION ASKED?”
I prepared for the Prelims exclusively based on your advice. I’m getting in the range on 122+. Many thanks for all the advice and lessons. Look forward to Mains lessons.
scoring 116.66 in obc category
Please guys do not spread misinformation by guessing weird cut off marks… Figures like 115 and 120 do not mean anything… there will be more than 14000 candidates who will clear prelims. Yes, there were some 45 questions which every body knew but thats all about the “easiness” of the paper. This year’s paper has been a great disadvantage to those who focused on basics instead of current events.
sir plz suggest me best books of economics, history, and geography for upsc.
Sir pls post the youtube link in english too..
friends very gud morning to allllllllll.
“”IS 0 finite or infinite?””
