Also, 4 questions from Ethics in the prelims paper shows that it is more about integrated study now. Syllabus is what is given for mains. I hope the people who have studied ethics beforehand got some advantage. At this point, I’ll also recommend that the people who are getting marks on safer side should start preparing for Essay and Ethics after rest of 2 days. It’s important to not miss the most important days!!

Take some rest. Relax for a while. Let the dust settle.
