That is what is surprising me and thats why I am asking  a general opinion, also the app might change with more entries...

With ~7k entries in, it seems unlikely that anything would change.

bro to be frank i think the question paper is difficult than set 1 for sure the question pattern completely changed just see the question from propositional logic or from graph theory last year handshaking lemma was asked and this time it takes min of 3 minutes to analyse the question itself and in logic last year 2 easy questions were asked  CO was difficult than set 1 of last year till last year there was a FIXED PATTERN OF TOPICS EXPECTED AND EVEN QUESTIONS WERE ALSO MORE OR LESS THE SAME COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS YEARS but this year I think the pattern is a bit unexpected BUT WHAT CHANGED A LOT IS THE COMPETITION I FEEL PEOPLE WHO TAKE DROP INCREASED AND COMPETITORS INCREASED SO IT MIGHT SEEM EASY FOR THEM BECAUSE THEY MIGHT HAVE MORE PRACTICE  BUT I STRONGLY DISAGREE THE POINT THAT IT WAS EASIER THAN SET 1 OF LAST YEAR BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER NOW :) BUT EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINIONS MAY BE FOR SOME PEOPLE THIS SET WAS A CAKE WALK

Sure man, I agree with most of your points :)

Maybe the US immigration policy changes is one of the causes of higher competition this year.

---

yes bro but we Indians are known for our hard work and perseverance i think this years competition is a good example of this  :) i expected 70 to be the topmost mark but there are 2 people with 80+ lol

---

I saw that i got 50 and i was kind of content based on my experience with set 1 gate 2017, but as time progresses Pragy's app is tearing me up!

Current score at 637

I don't know what will happen

---

the same with me i got around 48.33 and the inflow is not ending they are continuosly giving the inputs and i wonder the number of records are increasing at 1 per every 2 seconds approx and its never ending  :(

---

Due you know if they are adding an entry everytime someone check with an input, or only when someone gives their response link?

---

my friend tried doing it he says only for every UNIQUE response link we are getting a seperate entry but i wonder how come the counter is still running and its not stabilizing even by night arjun sir told it will stabilize by 5000 entries itself this itself says that this year there might be more contestants :/

---

In short we are doomed

---

thats obvious

---

Paper is based on only concept ,jisko concept deep me pata hoga use paper easy laga hoga.

I haven't heard a single soul saying that it was easy, even Arjun Sir commented on some post saying flat out that it was more difficult than 2017. But these marks on Pragy's app tells a different story
