Hello 2021 aspirants. I thought it would be nice if we can share what we are doing and intend to do with one another here.
This could be a thread for discussing everything prep for 2021.
No one method fits all but to see the plans and progress made by fellow aspirants might help with the finer details of preparation and also keep one on track.

I have just glanced through the printed material. Haven't read it deeply. The printed notes look like an abundance of content. The class notes are a bit more selective/refined.
Also some topics covered in class are not directly mentioned in the theory section but are there in the solved questions given at the end of the chapter. Eg. Dalit Capitalism, Feminization of agriculture. So coverage wise, nothing seems missing. In fact, the printed material has way more content than the class notes.
There are some keywords that ma'am used in the classes. (eg. Broken Window theory, feminization U hypothesis etc). They are more value addition points than core concepts. I didn't find them in the material. That seems to be the only thing missing.
The language/wording is different while the points are roughly the same. So class notes are a bit more easier to read/understand. But otherwise, in terms of content, 95% of class notes is in the material.

Ok only thanks for asking. I really don’t know why it flares up randomly for no good reason, other than to waste my time.
