Question 1)

The emergence of new financial institutions like NDB and AIIB have created a greater need for governance and policy reforms in western dominated financial institutions. Comment.

Question 2)

What is Model Tenancy Act? How will it impact Housing Sector in India? Discuss.

Question 3)

Urban centres are being crippled by the man made disasters. Discuss. What policy changes can be implemented to make Indian Cities overcome these structural constraints.

Question 4)

Suppose you are called as the Chief Guest in an educational institution to address a gathering of youth on the issue of ‘cultural transition in India’. You confine your lecture mainly around one of the most apparent pointers of cultural transition taking place in the country, i.e. changing man-woman relationship with the latter being more open, forthcoming and assimilating. But the transition is marred by many sour and ugly events leading to sexual exploitation, honour killings and subjugation and defiance by male dominated office environment. After the lecture there is a question answer session. Answer the following questions that students and teachers posed in front of you: (a) Are women outrageous in their liberty with regard to dressing up, breaking the silence and asking their share in decision making? (b) What should be the “limits of openness” for women in a culturally transitioning India in an era of globalisation? (c) Is the institution of family responsible for the aberrant behavior of their male children regarding man-woman relationship? (d) What will you do as a Civil Servant to change the attitude of society with respect to women?

Hi Avani
The first part of the answer is OK.
But the theme of the 2nd part needs relook. reason being, it is not adhering to the demands of the question.
The directions of way forwards and discussion on “highlighted needs for governance and polity reforms in western dominated financial institutions” are same. Both subheadings are talking of the reforms needed. Instead your discussion before way forward should have two sub headings:
1. What are the issues with old institutions? (Mention their challenges)
2. Briefly discuss how are the new institutions going to impact the older ones.
Then go ahead with your way forwards.
Way forwards are exhaustive and on right track.

Combine the first two paragraphs to make an unified intro. That is a better structure.
The overall direction and structure of the discussion is good.
First couple of parts are answered in better manner.
But content in the drawbacks of the Act can be enlarged with various other points like subject being a part of State List; like in the case with RERA, the fear is that states may choose not to follow guidelines; the issues of security deposit etc.
Good way forwards.

Heatwaves are not man made disasters! Instead fire incidents, stampedes, infrastructure collapses; frequent flooding of urban spaces due to blocked drains etc are man made disasters.
Please try to explain whenever possible. Flowcharts in all the parts of main body are not desirable.
Points discussed in the main body are general overall and do not target the reasons or way forwards in specific manner.

Hi Mohsin
Good intro but some parts of it can be curtailed to give more space for the discussion of main body.
You have mentioned majorly infrastructural aspects of urban development but missed to discuss the governance issues and lack of vigilance on the parts of urban governing bodies like frequent inspections, due diligence before passing any project, corruption, lack of political will to introduce reforms in urban development by the ULBs, shortage of human as well as technical resources etc
Good way forwards.
But one thing comes out of your discussion is that you have focused a lot on urban flooding in your answer. But there are other aspects of man made disasters in urban spaces like fires, infrastructure collapse, stampede and crowding issues (like in Amritsar Rail accident), frequent road accidents due to poor planning etc.
Keep this in mind. So next time, focus on these issues as well as in both parts (challenges and way forwards)

Good intro.
in the 1st discussion (a) also mention the issue of extreme feminism which starts male bashing and hence affects the intricate balance. You have to mention the other side of the argument as well in terms of society and constitution (extreme of anything is wrong)
Rest of the discussion is OK.
Mohsin avoid using lengthy statements. Both b and c parts of your discussion are one large paragraphs with just a “single” statements from start till end. That is not a good way of presenting your answers. You have to have short sentences, Give breaks. Make your statements crisp.
Also in the end you missed a very important step: IMPROVING LAW AND ORDER.
Otherwise good discussions on the steps in the last part.

What are the “3 Fs” mentioned in the way forward? Its in the 2nd point of the way forward. Avoid such mistakes. If you mentioning such abbreviations then do discuss them.
Rest of the way forwards are really good.
Overall good attempt in terms of content and explanation. Include the suggestions and it will be a near perfect answer.

Good intro.
Please start using sub headings. You have very good hand writing and command on language. Buttress it with proper subheadings to make it top notch.
While the discussion is good in the 1st part but fails to mention some of the issues that experts have opined regarding the Act like the subject being a part of State List; like in the case with RERA, the fear is that states may choose not to follow guidelines; the issues of security deposit; fear of increased litigation etc.
Also you have to mention what more can be done in order to improve the status of housing rental sector.
Always make sure that your answer has necessary balance by including arguments from both sides.

Sometimes you write very good answer and then sometimes you let your guards down and write answers like these.
You have missed a lot many aspects of the issue and just mentioned way forward after intro. That is a poor way of presenting answers. Start writing wholesome answers with discussion on all the aspects.
Your intro is good.
But after intro, give the reasons behind these increasing events.
What are the implications of these events on Indian society and economy?
Then only discuss way forwards.
Always read the question carefully and bisect it into relevant sub headings and answer each sub heading accordingly in your answer.
Decent way forwards.

Hi there.
Kindly upload clear images. Given the poor quality of image and small fonts of your handwriting, it is a difficult task to read them.
Most of the answer is unreadable hence I am not able to review it properly.
Use CamScanner app to click and upload answer sheets. And write in bigger fonts please.
Whatever I can make out of your answer, here are the suggestions.
After intro, mention the challenges faced by the old institutes and what led to the development of these new financial institutions.
You have focused most of your energy on new financial institutions but that is not the required direction of the answer.
Instead the proper direction was:
In the intro, give a brief background of Bretton Woods system as well as the advent of new financial system in the eastern part of the World.

In the 1st part of the answer discuss the issues with these old institutions like IMF, WB etc.

Briefly discuss some of the new financial institutions and how are they going to impact the older ones.

In the way forward, suggest governance and policy reforms in these old institutions and end the answer with decent conclusion. Try to be specific with your solutions and avoid general statements

Please write in clear manner otherwise it will affect your marks in Mains exams as well.

Again the issue of unclear image. There is too much light in the middle of paper which is making it unreadable.
Intro is OK.
But points in the main body are quite general and not comprehensive.
After intro, simply give the reasons behind these increasing events.
What are the implications.
How come earthquake and cyclones are being discussed in the man made disasters?
You have mentioned majorly infrastructural aspects of urban development but missed to discuss the governance issues and lack of vigilance on the parts of urban governing bodies like frequent inspections, due diligence before passing any project, corruption, lack of political will to introduce reforms in urban development by the ULBs, shortage of human as well as technical resources etc

Hi Arohi

The scaling is done out of 15 marks in all the questions.
There are couple of issues with your answer.
Good intro but do mention some of the recent incidents in intro itself so that you dont have to divert your attention for them in the main body.
You have mentioned majorly infrastructural aspects of urban development but missed to discuss the governance issues and lack of vigilance on the parts of urban governing bodies like frequent inspections, due diligence before passing any project, corruption, lack of political will to introduce reforms in urban development by the ULBs, shortage of human as well as technical resources etc
No need for such a graph. It is good that you used it but it has no incremental value in overall discussion n the answer. Your images, graphs, diagrams or flowcharts should enhance your answer or should put some value addition to them. Mentioning waste disposal through graph in a question of man made disasters in urban areas in not enhancing your points. Hence avoid them
Good way forwards.
But one thing comes out of your discussion is that you have focused a lot on urban flooding and waste management in your answer. But there are other aspects of man made disasters in urban spaces like fires, infrastructure collapse, stampede and crowding issues (like in Amritsar Rail accident), frequent road accidents due to poor planning etc.
Keep this in mind. So next time, focus on these issues as well as in both parts (challenges and way forwards)

Hi Prakhar
Link the issue of question in intro. Towards the end, simply mention that “due to their inaction on governance front and western biasness, these institutions are facing challenges from the new financial institutions from Eastern Hemisphere.” Hence simple statements like these will link yoir intro to the topic and will enhance your answer.
The main body of the answer is quite good. But there is no way forwards for the reforms in these institutions. The issue of governance and policy reforms are clearly mentioned in the question.
Secondly, you do not need to discuss issues in new financial institutions. That is outside the domain of the issue as of now.
Always give way forwards.

Discussion on (b) needs better points and explanation. While mentioning the right for the women, you have to also mention other issues like a limit to openness depending upon the “space” in which it is being exercised; pragmatism or pragmatic ethics taking precedence over absolute ethics. For example in “private space” women can choose to be more open, proximate and free with their choices and male partners; in the “social space” they need to be conscious about social values and customs because even if women are well within their “right” to be what they like, there is chance of explicit or hidden conflict with the surrounding which is not ready for “new ways.”
Good points in (c)
Good discussion in (d) as well. You can use flowchart to curtail the length of the answer here.

Give a little bit of intro indicating the issues involved in the case study and who are the actors in it.
Your discussion in (a) lacks coherence with the demand. the theme of the discussion should simply be this:
“It is their natural and human right to choose, question and examine and also to decide. Nevertheless the problem is in attitude of both. Men do not want to lose their position of primacy in social hierarchy while sometimes some (feminist) women who are proactive in exercising their liberty lose sense of proportion and go up to the extent of teasing or provoking the male society.”

Similarly, you have to cover the societal aspects as well in (b). Right now you have covered only legal basis of openness. While mentioning the right for the women, you have to also mention other issues like a limit to openness depending upon the “space” in which it is being exercised; pragmatism or pragmatic ethics taking precedence over absolute ethics. For example in “private space” women can choose to be more open, proximate and free with their choices and male partners; in the “social space” they need to be conscious about social values and customs because even if women are well within their “right” to be what they like, there is chance of explicit or hidden conflict with the surrounding which is not ready for “new ways.”

Rest of the discussion in c and d are good. But do mention the law and order situation in d.

In terms of presentation, avoid using lengthy paragraphs. That is not called for discussions which have so many sub sets. Hence give proper break in your paragraphs.

Hi Vishvjeet
You have covered almost all the necessary aspects of the issue except one: Impact of the new players on the old ones.
Apart from that, answer is good.
Language, structure and explanation are all quite decent.
Decent coverage of the issue.
Good way forwards

Good intro.
Work on your language skills and frame better sentences. “Housing Present Scenario” is not a correct sentence actually. Instead it is “Present Scenario in Housing Sector”. We have talked about it in many answers so it is time you start working on sentence framing.
Also shift this discussion after intro as that will be a better structure of the answer.
Balance is missing in your answer.
Discussion on the merits of the Act takes a lot of space without mentioning issues with the Act and no way forward.
That is not the ideal approach.
Your points in the 1st part are good and exhaustive.
But discuss the issues with the Act separately and then discuss way forward before ending the answer with proper conclusion.
You can add points like subject being a part of State List; like in the case with RERA, the fear is that states may choose not to follow guidelines; the issues of security deposit; fear of increased litigation etc.

Do mention some of the recent incidents in urban spaces which can be termed as man made disaster.
You have focused a lot on the issue of water and pollution in your answer.
But there are other aspects of man made disasters in urban spaces like fires, infrastructure collapse, stampede and crowding issues (like in Amritsar Rail accident), frequent road accidents due to poor planning etc.
Keep this in mind. So next time, focus on these issues as well as in both parts (challenges and way forwards)
You have mentioned majorly infrastructural aspects of urban development but missed to discuss the governance issues and lack of vigilance on the parts of urban governing bodies like frequent inspections, due diligence before passing any project, corruption, lack of political will to introduce reforms in urban development by the ULBs, shortage of human as well as technical resources etc

Good way forwards but include the issue of ULBs in it as well while including the dimensions of other disasters as well.
Explanation is good in the answer but are mostly uni dimensional.

Hi Varsha
Good intro.
Discussion in (a) is good.
But you have to cover the societal aspects as well in (b). Right now you have covered only personal basis of openness for a woman. While mentioning the right for the women, you have to also mention other issues like a limit to openness depending upon the “space” in which it is being exercised; pragmatism or pragmatic ethics taking precedence over absolute ethics. For example in “private space” women can choose to be more open, proximate and free with their choices and male partners; in the “social space” they need to be conscious about social values and customs because even if women are well within their “right” to be what they like, there is chance of explicit or hidden conflict with the surrounding which is not ready for “new ways.” The basic idea is “society is changing but the pace is slow…so we have to respect this fact and not hurry up with reforms for which society may not be ready at that time and juncture”

Rest of the discussion in c and d are good. But do mention the law and order situation in d.

In terms of presentation, it is very good. Your explanations are crisp.
Keep writing.

Hi Mud Borne
Poor discussion.
You haven’t covered the demands of the question at all.
The demand of the question was this:

In the intro, give a brief background of Bretton Woods system as well as the advent of new financial system in the eastern part of the World.

In the 1st part of the answer discuss the issues with these old institutions like IMF, WB etc.

Briefly discuss some of the new financial institutions and how are they going to impact the older ones.

In the way forward, suggest governance and policy reforms in these old institutions and end the answer with decent conclusion. Try to be specific with your solutions and avoid general statements

You have not covered any of these and instead mentioned why and how Asia and Africa will dominate the future years and why should old institutes focus on these areas.

Read the questions carefully and divide them into sub parts and answer each sub parts accordingly.

Good intro.
Why do we need this Act? What is the present scenario of housing sector in India? You have to mention this before discussing the highlights of the Act.
Balance is missing in your answer.
Discussion on the highlights of the Act takes a lot of space without proper mentioning of merits and issues with the Act and no way forward.
That is not the ideal approach.
Your points in the 1st part are good and exhaustive.
But discuss the merits and then issues with the Act separately and then discuss way forward before ending the answer with proper conclusion.
You can add points like subject being a part of State List; like in the case with RERA, the fear is that states may choose not to follow guidelines; the issues of security deposit; fear of increased litigation etc.

The answer has lack of structure, content and depth.
Just after intro, you have covered way forwards without adhering to the demands of the question. Please read the mentors comments for each question before answering them.
The demands of the question were:

Mention some of the recent disasters like Chennai or Kerala floods which got aggravated due to encroachments or fires in various urban centers which were due to the unplanned urbanization in you intro.
Then give the reasons behind these increasing events.
What are the implications.
Mention the way forward

You failed to give reasons and implications.

Decent way forwards.
Read the model answer for this one.

Give a little bit of intro indicating the issues involved in the case study and who are the actors in it.
Your discussion in (a) lacks coherence with the demand. the theme of the discussion should simply be this:
“It is their natural and human right to choose, question and examine and also to decide. Nevertheless the problem is in attitude of both. Men do not want to lose their position of primacy in social hierarchy while sometimes some (feminist) women who are proactive in exercising their liberty lose sense of proportion and go up to the extent of teasing or provoking the male society.”

Similarly, you have to cover the societal aspects as well in (b). Right now you have covered only legal basis of openness. While mentioning the right for the women, you have to also mention other issues like a limit to openness depending upon the “space” in which it is being exercised; pragmatism or pragmatic ethics taking precedence over absolute ethics. For example in “private space” women can choose to be more open, proximate and free with their choices and male partners; in the “social space” they need to be conscious about social values and customs because even if women are well within their “right” to be what they like, there is chance of explicit or hidden conflict with the surrounding which is not ready for “new ways.”

Rest of the discussion in c and d are good. But do mention the law and order situation in (d).

Keep writing.
