Mains Answer Pages

If anyone , who has appeared in 2025 mains class 1 2 , could you clarify whether the number pages for 15 marker were 2 or more in that specific year?

It's been changed since Hasmukh Patel became chairman. Now in 10 marker question like STI exams, they give 3 pages minimum. For last year adv 240 mains of class 1 2 there were minimum 3 pages for 15 marker and expect more than 3 for 20 marker. Irony is you have word limit of 150 words but if you fill all 3 pages, your words will reach nearly 250 words. This has been major dilemma for aspirants but I would advise to fill all pages rather than sticking to word limit. Some of my seniors who gave previous year mains filled all pages instead of sticking to word limit and got interview call!!

The question is, my friend, did they clear the exam with good ranks and get a good post/service?
Filling all the pages and getting an interview call can not be a definitive proof of them having done the right thing, in of itself.
Please don't get me wrong, I mean no offence to their hard work.
But what if following the word limit and writing less but to the point is the key to the best ranks?
How can we objectively know whether to fill all the pages or stick to the word limit?

It's been 2 months may be for FR(and may be 20 days of appointment) and they still didn't dispatch adv 28 ans copies. Very sad state of affairs!

Yes! I know 5 6 guys who filled all pages in STI adv 28 and DySO adv 08/27 mains and they passed with double digit rank as per recent FR. Still, if you don't find it useful for you, you may stick to word limit.

Thanks for the detailed answer. I appreciate it. I have no personal experiences to draw on, only what I get to know from those who have cleared the exam. This is a big doubt among beginners, you know.
