UPSC Gs-2 : 2024

🅾️Paper might seem simple looking at the usually repeating themes, but it is not. It demands one to be VERY SPECIFIC.

🅾️The objective of this post is to just reassure that if you had an underwhelming paper-2, it is okay. Please move on to Gs-3 and 4.

🅾️Will refrain from posting any analysis or comments at this hour.

🅾️You did what you had to, it is time to keep calm- Good luck!
UPSC CSE Mains 2024- Gs 3
Gs-3 : Just like Gs-2 : On the face of it feels very easy and predictable for someone who has not given the exam- predicting the themes is not a problem for seniors but the paper has nuances and the students are Expected to be VERY VERY specific. IT IS NOT easy. There will surely be some OUTLIERS who will score extraordinary scores above average( mostly a few in thousands of students)- they cant be the barometer for your selection.

🅾️ Anyone who is having a low confidence , Please ignore any comments at this hour and focus on Gs-4 - Revise your examples and leave any paper discussions that you are tempted to look at. 🙂

⚜️It usually involves global businesses that operate in many countries, and it requires coordination between legal systems in different nations to handle the bankruptcy efficiently and ensure fair treatment of all creditors.
