The euphoria of selection in second attempt soon gave way to the dysphoria by realization that I have to write the exam again. In between, came RAS Mains in June and my marriage in July. In August, I served my notice period at RBI. So effectively I started preparing for Mains from September 2013. 90 Days to go!!
In philosophy, this time I thought to deal with Contemporary Western Philosophy (CWP). I came across CWP classes at Ignited Minds by Amit Kumar sir. He taught in Hindi but it wasn't a problem for me. I can understand Hindi well and sir made it a point to say technical words in English also. I must say that sir taught CWP extremely well. It took around 15-20 days to complete this module. I completed Y Masih for WP and Dutta Chatterjee for IP. But I couldn't consolidate my learning because of my casualness and laziness. There was a last time rush and as usual the casualty was Philosophy of Religion. Completed (!!) it in 2 days.
This was going to cost me dearly in my paper.
On the Exam day:
Paper-I: Most of the Questions were 'critically evaluate' types. As I didn't revise I couldn't properly answer simple questions like Ramanujacharya's saptanupapatti and 2-3 questions of WP. Dejected !!
Paper-II: As always, got overwhelmed by questions in Social-Political Philosophy (SPP). Knew so much so wrote more than necessary. Devoted 2 hrs 15 mins to SPP. Panicked !! Tried to answer the questions of Philosophy of Religion (POR) in a hurry and in short notes format. Paper over. Double dejected !!
Result:
Cleared Mains. Made it to the final list with AIR 149. Happy but dejected !! Have to write exam one more time :( :(
Marks:
Written Total: 663
Essay: 140
GS: 76, 69, 77, 97
Philosophy I: 98, II: 106
Interview: Alka Sirohi ruined me. Only 165.
Conclusion:
- I have maintained a constant overall score in Philosophy: 40%. (Last: 242/600).
- Score in Paper-I could be augmented by a minimum of 25 more marks. Needs more efforts, a deeper understanding and REVISION !!
- Score in Paper-II could be increased by at least 10-15 marks. POR needs its due share of time and efforts. Good answers in SPP do fetch us good marks !!
