ReplyDeleteThe question on the power of judiciary to declare a law invalid is judicial supremacy. Then in English- look me up is correct and not look me in. The next question -i'm extrmly sorry, i'm pressed for time is the correct answer and not lost in time.
Deleteno thats judicial review
Deletethe power of judiciary to declare a law invalid is judicial review
DeleteManu I don't think so. What I felt is Judiciary got an upper hand to make a law invalid if it is affecting the normal life of a citizen. I think that's what they called Judicial Supremacy.
DeleteCorrect me if I am wrong.
Thank you.
the answer is judicail review
DeleteThe constitution vests in judiciary, the power to adjudicate upon the constitutional validity of all the laws. If a laws made by parliament or state legislature violates any provision of the constitution, the Supreme Court has power to declare such a law invalid or ultra virus. So the process of judicial scrutiny of legislative acts is called Judicial Review.

That's excellent. Thank you very much "Dairy Milk".
DeleteYes, the answer is judicial review. Sorry guys
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHow was the Exam guyz ? Easy right ? But I have make lot of mistakes. My marks is 38.11 but if our friend "JK" is right, then my mark will be 40.77.
But the Big Question, Is there any chance to be in List ? I am Latin Catholic....
Guyz, how was the Exam? I felt little easy. But due to inexperience in PSC exams (as this is my second exam) I have done few mistakes. I will get 38.11 Marks. But if our friend "JK" is right, then my score will be 40.67.
ReplyDeleteBut the big question.. Is there any chance to be in the List ? I am Latin Catholic.
some of my friends were preparing since 2011 for this exame...n they got 77,70,64 etc...i thnk genuine mark...70 above orupad alukal undakum...this is my conclusion..IASsinu eduzonilum csaccadamiyilumokke prepare cheyyunnavark e exm oru cakewalk anu...so i expect,cuttoff wil b high,
ReplyDeleteAnuradha on that paper i think cut off will be only 40 marks. It was a cunning paper.Physics part was tough, so also computer.Malayalam was a big disaster. Maths take lots of time. It was tough. How many mark u scored anuradha?
DeleteAnice, I also agree with you. Though the exam was very easy, all the 4 options were really confusing. General Mental Ability was good among others
Deletei expect 63mark,90 attend cheythu...70correct 20wrong...veruthe malayalam keari guess adichu...:(
Deleteno hope..also general category so noooo hope....
Anuradha do u personally know the persons who get above 70?
DeleteI answered 74 questions and my mark is 62.
This was my first PSC exam...got only 59..i know its very low..surprized..bcz cracked BANK PO n SSC n now working as Assistant Manager in BOB..Still now am shocked bcz of this tricky question paper...

ReplyDeletecut off will be only 40. Am damn sure. All are telling lies. Am only telling the truth.Questions were really tricky. Can u say the name and address of any one of the candidates who scored 75 or 80. I challenge u!!!
Deleteanice
Deletethe cut off will never be below 70, i scored more than 82 but even i am not sure what will happen such was the standard of questions (pathetic).i am not a pedant ,if you know who prepared seriously for this exam go and ask.the question was only last grade standard
Manu, last time cut off was around 40 or so, right. They have to make a rink list of some 3000, so i think cut off will be around 50 this time
Deleteanice,dont challenge,wait for the result,because my source of information is genuine,one of my friend anu got 81,she never attended any coaching class,n also lots of candidates with more than 70,not a fake mark argument,i have no personal interest,i also have a central govt job,so i dnt want to make others panic,these are true story known to me.optimism is good,let's wait n c.i dont tnink sec assnt exame is tricky,an average psc exame dats all,this was my first psc exame
DeleteManu 82 is it your attempted questions.Mark is counted by deducting wrong answers from the correct answers.See manu do ur answers were correct from the science part?Do u know direction of rainbow?Do u scored all from malayalam part?Do u know technology of compact disk?Do u know that maths ratio answer?Have ur direction in mental ability gone right?U please properly count ur mark. Otherwise take the help of school children.

Deletemanu u got a good mark..u hav bright chance to get in list..but see..paper was very tricky...
DeleteManu u took 15 years to understand the technology of compact disk. How poor of you. so u r appearing for psc exam for so long years and you didn't get any that's why still writing or not for any hobby maintenance. Your dialogue should be still there when the result comes.When the people the whole world knows the exam winners through paper, other medias manu u should be in India.

Anice,
DeleteYou're seriously underestimating the potential of candidates who prepared for this exam. Your cut off of 40 ...I can't stop laughing. You are thinking only in one direction, based on how you handled the questions. I'm a rank-holder in Thrissur LDC. My mark was 72. The paper was similar to (actually, a little tougher than) this exam. There were around 300 people above me. This was the case of just one district. So, think about people from 14 districts coming together to write one exam. I think you will get the picture now.
Shine whats ur Ldc rank number? Have u heard about masters college thrissur, their top score is 68 in this exam, in brilliance college top score is 57.
DeleteAnice,
DeleteMy LDC rank is 294. I never went for any coaching, but heard about these institutes. Proud to realize (if true)that I'm better than them. Based on the innumerable answer keys flooded on the Internet (including PSC key)and the questionable validity of some of the answers, I expect a mark between 70 and 77.
Anice, I wrote last years LDC exam without any preparation. I was in the supplementary list. This was my second exam. I prepared only one month without any guide or help of coaching centre. i wrote 83 answer. 67 is correct. 16 wrong means 4 less ie, total score 64.I think iam far better than this coaching centre going aspirants. Most of them has been going in these institutes for the last one or two years.
DeleteSHINE: NO NEED TO BE PROUD U R BORN IN 1981, SO U WILL BE OF 32 YEARS OLD.U WILL HAVE STUDIED FOR PSC FROM 25 YEARS ONWARDS .AND THIS IS MY SECOND PSC EXAM .IN MY FIRST PSC EXAM THAT'S THRISSUR LDC 2011AM ALSO IN THE MAIN LIST.
DeleteSHINE: STILL U DON'T GET A JOB SHAME ON U
DeleteConsidering the level of competition and the tricky nature of the answer keys i expect the cut off in the range 55-62.
DeleteAnice,
DeleteYou don't need to feel shame on me. I've been working in the private sector for the past 7 years. LDC 2011 was my first PSC exam and I'm happy to make it the first 300. I prepared for only 3 months. You're so rude and jealous of others success. Your comments are getting personal. I won't be responding to your posts anymore.

ReplyDeleteQ No : 21 of Alpha Code B
ReplyDeleteIn the answer key the answer is given option no D which is Tropical monsoon climate. The tropical monsoon climate is due to the latitudinal extent of each and every place of earth.
So the correct answer should be Option No A latitudinal extent.
Explanation :
The countries lying between the tropic of cancer(23.5 degrees N) and tropic of capricon(23.5 degrees S) are in the tropical zone.
The countries lying between tropic of cancer and Article circle (66.5 degrees N) in the Northern Hemisphere and those lying between tropic of capricon and Antarctic circle(66.5 degrees S) in the Southern Hemisphere are in theTemperate Zone.
The countries beyond Arctic circle towards North pole in the Northern Hemisphere and beyond Antarctic circle towards South Pole in the Southern Hemisphere are in the Frigid Zone.
Q No : 30 of Alpha Code B
Largest producer of rice in India is West Bengal with 15.8% of total production. Second largest is Andhra Pradesh with 12.71 %. So the answer should be Andhra Pradesh.
But the answer given is Tamil Nadu which is 6th position with 7.08 % of total production.
Q No : 68 of Alpha Code B
Punctuation Question answer should be C.
Q No : 71 of Alpha Code B
ANSI escape sequences are characters embedded in the text used to control formatting, color, and other output options on video text terminals. Almost all terminal emulators designed to show text output from a remote computer, and (except for Microsoft Windows) to show text output from local software, interpret at least some of the ANSI escape sequences.
The American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a character-encoding scheme originally based on the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, though they support many additional characters
So the answer is ASCII
Q No : 78 of Alpha Code B
Domain name is a part of URL. So the answer should be URL which is Option No C
Q No : 95 of Alpha Code B
Odd man Out . Simple explanation is out of the given answers 14 is the only even number. Other explanation is multiple of 7 . Then the answer is 55. So there are two answers. The question should be omitted.
Q No : 100 of Alpha Code B
The answer should be 70 km .

DeleteIt is given in psc site
Deletethe link is

Hai Sugunan
DeleteThe major reason for calling India a tropical country Should be tropical monsoons. The tropic of cancer passes approximately through the middle of India. Hence the lower part of the country is in tropical zone and the upper part is in the temperate zone. Still it is considered that India is a tropical country the major reasons are
The presence of Himalayas
The monsoon winds.
Since himalayas is not given in the answer set the correct option is tropical monsoons.
Reference Indian Geography by Khullar
Geography by Spectrum series
Sugunan,
DeleteOdd man Out : it can also be 49. That is the only perfect square.
I agree with you Shine.
DeleteThanks for your answer chandu
Deletechandu
Deletei think sugunan is correct answer should be latitudinal extent
refer this link
http://www.nhm.ac.uk/hosted_sites/bbstbg/tropctry.htm
Tropical countries from the IUCN list
the things you pointed out are the factors affecting the tropical climate of india
a tropical climate are are found in those low attitudes on either side of the equator which are characterized by high attitude and adequate rain fall throughout the year
reference: physical geography by savindra singh
calorie is countable noun so correct answer is high
ReplyDeleteSect. Assistant Cut Off, my prediction : between 75 and 85 based on the following facts,
ReplyDelete1. This was a state-wide exam and the questions were easy. ie, an LDC or LGS level exam conducted state-wide. Remember, cut off for Kollam LGS was 92 !!
2. One in 100 may score above 75. 1% of 3 lakh (ie, 3000) is enough to fill the rank list.
3. A significant number of students who wrote the exam were seriously preparing for the UPSC civil service exams. For them, this will be a cakewalk. They will fill up the rank list.
Anyway, the cut off WILL NOT be below 70. I know it is not good to hear, but sometimes, truth can be hard to comprehend.
I agree with you. The standard of the exam was very low. PSC guides by-heart padicha aarkkum 70 above kittum. we can compare this exam with LGS exam only. LDC tests conducted in 2011 was very tough when compared to this exam.
Deletei also agree with shine's opinion
Deleteshine in thrissur masters college who gets lots of first ranks in psc exams there top score is 68 in this exam.In brilliance top score is 56. Shine u once more verify the paper of ldc 2011. What's ur rank number?
DeleteSHINE: YOU R MAD .CONSULT A PSYCHIATRY

ReplyDeleteGuys,
ReplyDeleteIt seems I am the least scored person in this discussion forum. I got only 39.66%. I have prepared well for the initial 2 months. Then suddenly I lost the interest and become lazy. Don't know there will be another chance for me to PSC exam as I am already 34. If there is any, I will prepare very well. I am gonna take the print out of this page, whenever I lost interest and become lazy I will read this...
Wishing you all the best Guyz, I hope every one will be in the Rank List and got a chance to be a part of the development of our Nation.

DeleteI am working in Cochin in an IT firm. I am not an NRI. I came to in this field very late :( This is my second PSC exam. I had given LDC 2011 and I got 33% and I was in the Suppl. List (LC Quota). A Govt. Job is my dream now. So I will win it if there is another chance. Manu do you know when will be the next LDC exam ?
Thank you very much for reply.

ReplyDeleteURL is used to find specific web page, domain name cannot be used to find specific page. domain name is a subset of URL
ASCII is the answer for keyboard question.
Also , Chocolate cake contains high amount of calorie
since large amount of is used with uncountable noun and calorie is countable.
Please report to psc
Deletehttp://keralapsc.org/anskey%2011/prov%20key-complaints%20form%28mal%29.pdf
u can use this print out to report to psc
Padmanabha dasan: i think usage of a large is the correct one.since calorie is countable, we can use a large amount of caloie. If there was no A in the question like the chocolate cake contains______amount of calorie, the the ans wld be high...However the question was - the chocolate cake contains a_______amount of calorie. So i think the answe is large only.
DeletePadmanabha dasan: URL and web address is same. So ans shld be B and C ( both are correct) any way i dont think it is domain name
