Here are my marksheets for the Prelims and Mains of Civil Services Exam 2017. Along with these, I’ve attached my marksheet for CSE 2015 (I’ve skipped CSE 2016.)
A cursory glance at scores from both these attempts should tell you that, with crisp and clear answers, you can drastically improve your Mains scores across the papers. You can read more about how I overcame my failures here.
So my only plea to you is: if your recent Mains scores have been terrible, do not become despondent. I will soon write detailed blog posts on Mains answer writing. Hope they help you in improving your answer content and presentation.

Initially you chose public administration as your optional paper but later attempt you change your optional paper to anthropology.
Why did you change it for scoring more marks or anthropology was an easier optional paper for you ?
