General Observation

  • A Few Questions are reflection from 2016 mains Question paper, 1. State Reorganization 2. E.V. Periyar
  • Comparing to Last mains the current paper Tamilnadu related area accounts 45 marks its 40 % increase in total history mark of 121.
  • Comparing with Past question paper the 2017 paper is somewhat dynamic Serious Aspirants realize that.
  • Those who completed the syllabus can write Maximum 100 – 105 marks only.
  • The paper tells us the candidate should prepare the all topics mentioned in the syllabus not focusing some areas only.
  • Some New Aspirants may thing the senior players has done well this part but the assumption is not completely correct. Most of the senior players never gave importance to Tamilnadu related area.
UNIT – II OF THE PAPER ONE IS NORMAL NO CHANGES IN THIS UNIT. THOSE WHO SOUND IN MATHS THEY ANSWERED ALL QUESTIONS IN THREE SECTIONS. MATHS PLAY A CRUCIAL ROLE IN DECIDING THEIR NAME IN INTERVIEW AND RANK LIST BECAUSE THIS PORTION CAN GIVE FULL MARK FOR ALL ANSWERED QUESTION

GENERAL OBSERVATION

  • This science technology paper is entirely different from the past papers , most of the questions checked our presence of mind , normally they will ask directly answer like questions but this time different
  • Absence of science and technology especially recent trends and technologies
  • Generally most of the questions formed directly from the syllabus itself but this time they asked from diversion of the topic
  • Many of the candidates feared science and technology before exams but tnpsc asked simple questions to answer them it’s difficult
  • most candidates managed to answer all questions
  • The paper tells us the candidates are expected to prepare science and technology with understanding of the fact and concepts not question and answer type and candidates must know the diversion of the topics in-depth.
  • This area common for both newer and senior players.
  • Samacheer book is not enough to answer the questions, the candidate’s needs to read 11 & 12th syllabus wise and 2004 old edition of science books.

Final Observation

  1. The Paper looks like easy but most of the candidates filled the pages what they know relevant to the answer so the mark of the answers in the hands of evaluator
  2. As I Mentioned earlier many people used Maths as scoring area without losing marks in theory
  3. Some of the new serious  Aspirants left around 20 marks , senior players managed with their writing skills
  4. Finally the paper was so good what others expected TNPSC improved in asking questions and deviated from the conventional area because, in this paper expansion of British rule is completely absent and given more space to Tamilnadu related area and most of the questions are unexpected and also in science TNPSC questions are analytical and we should write own there is no readymade answer.
  5. Those who completed the paper with enough valid points may get around 200 – 210 as Highest
