Also see Q.19 in JKPSC GS1 paper - Young Bengal movement. While preparing the articles in https://upscanalytics.opuslabs.in/knowledge-graph - we do a frequency + Fit analysis while mapping articles in CA Playground. Though the pipeline is machine learning based - we used our experience of mains journey to finetune it. At present, it counts the occurence of news items - in recent time across papers and then maps the items to PYQs and ranks the pyqs accordingly. And from the looks of it - the analysis and relevance score ranking appears very good - 2 questions out of our 20 probables(total daily questions we have put out) is a good hit rate - even when our CA playground is calibrated for UPSC specifically. #mains26

JKPSC GS1 paper. 1. See the question 7 - today only it was put up in the PDF based on current snippet from Hindu referring to Cyclones. 2-3 articles have come so far on it - although the question itself is a CSE PYQ. 2. Keep following CA actively from newspapers - this time Mains may also be a surprise and its high possibilty that newspaper CA based static themes may carry significant weightage in the papers. (as it did in prelims)

"For those of us climbing to the top of the food chain, there can be no mercy. There is but one rule: hunt or be hunted." — Frank Underwood, House of Cards Mains is the only static variable in this dynamic exam - and the rule is very clear - hunt or be hunted. Your competitors are burning midnight's oil. You should ensure that you leave no stone unturned. Stick to your schedules. Be ruthless to yourself and kind to others. Read this quote when you feeling low - that extra push - those extra 1-2 marks in each paper will determine if you reach the summit of this exam - or if you will reappear for the exam. #giveYour100%
