UPSC Exams-Subject Selection-Frequently Asked questions and Free Counselling

Sir, I am Hindi medium student . What is the success ratio of Hindi Literature? How can I get 100 % marks in mapping in Geography?

-Umesh Rawat

The Success ratio of Hindi Literature is about 1:31. The success ratio of Geography is about 1:9. One can get more than 60% if he/she does the exam well. The scoring of a subject is concerned, it is difficult to tell. If you read the "SECRET OF SUCCESS" Column in the Blog. You will get the clear picture of the evaluation also.

As far as mapping is concerned, if depends on the exact marking, notes about the marking (25 words ) and key words relating to the point. For example, NARMADA river is asked, you have to mark it properly first. The other key words are west flowing, flowing between, source, length and other key details relating to it. If the key given by the UPSC is fulfilled the evaluator will give 5 out of 6 for one spot. Some one may give 5.5 also not 6 out of 6. Anyhow it is far better than other written answers, which will fetch you around 30-35 out of 60 marks. 

The medium of exam is not at all a problem, how do you present your paper, which will make the difference.
