Philosophy- Post Mains 2019 review & discussion
-
@Dip @utkarsh_mishra Did your actual scores differ in comparison to what you expected after writing the mains (in your previous attempts)?
Asking because this was my first mains so have no idea what to expect. Have attempted all 250 marks in both the papers but have written sub standard answers for around 30-40 marks in both. (But have written satisfactory answers for the rest of questions as per my own analysis). Also, was getting around 110-120 in Mitra's mocks in both papers.

consider critically, gender discrimination is rather a man concept but not naturally endowed ? How did you all considered this "critically" I just in favour of the statement with argument like what we have from nature is difference between sex but gender discrimination is man made concept....
-
@rahul21-in1641 wrote only two points in favour: ability to give birth is natural gender discrimination, plus it has scientifically been proven that bone density of females is lesser than males, so difference in physical capacities.

@nikhilrai0827880 Bhai mere 2016 me 243 the..jab aadhi adhoori preparation se diya tha...to uski baat krne ka matlab nhi... 2017 me paper tough tha thoda..to pta nhi lg rha tha ki kaisa hua hai..i did not attempt/ wrongly attempted about 20-25 marks ka paper total.. although i got more than what i expected.. 140 in P1 and 133 in P2.

@utkarsh_mishra Ok. And test series aapke hisab se kis institute ki best hai for philosophy?
-
@nikhilrai0827880 I think you'll easily get 270+. You may score much better too. I had 270+ in both with avg and above avg preparation. In both I left some ten marks questions due to poor time management.
Getting 110+ in any test series is good. But don't count much on them. Mitra gives average to all to keep everyone happy with some generic comments.
I found vvr good for test series. Haven't tried Patanjali. But I can say mitra is expensive and totally not worth it. -
@Dip Felt exactly the same about Mitra's. Will shift to vvrias this time.
Thanks for your feedback..

Is there any element of necessity in causal relation according to Hume?Discuss.
-
@gomsimeena1472 thats a great attempt.. what questions did you attempt in P1?
-
@gomsimeena1472 There is no logical necessity as per hume in causal relations..only psychological necessity due to succession and contiguity.

Hey..why dont we share our expected marks in philosophy. I know its difficult to guess but still we'll have an idea as to where we stand.

I think 250 to 260
130 in paper 1
Around 120 in paper 2
