I believe that everyone has a heart of gold. It's just the nurturing, work pressure and sometimes brainwashing that makes it seem different.

I personally found it easier than their Abhyaas tests. It is still not like what UPSC asks, but it was so so better than the Abhyaas tests( which are the worst mocks to give this year in my opinion).

I believe at this moment no test series can rightly gauge the format in which UPSC is setting paper these days. In the name of difficult questions, so many institutes are focusing way too much on factual details and random facts here and there.

I gave Abhyaas tests last year, comparing this with them I do agree that this was less arbitrary on a relative scale. However, the arbitrariness (and difficulty) on absolute scale is still a lot more than it should be. 


IMO, it is very tough to score well so the focus needs to be on figuring out ways to 'guess' and ensuring we don't lose out on questions from basic books. Seeing the scores will always bring in negativity.

Decent than their abhyaas test. But few vague questions were there as expected.

Vision doesn't, not for open mocks. Other institutes might.

Hello,

That was probably the Red Book for Agriculture the team has been working on. It should be on the Epic Channel. It is usually a foundation material.

Let me look it up for you.

FDI in Digital News is capped at 26% supposedly to prevent "foreign influence" , what about electoral bonds ? is there any limitation on foreign donations ? Aren't the prospects of party system becoming a plaything of foreign interests more threatening than a digital news network coming under foreign influence?

FCRA prevents political parties and their office bearers from receiving funds from foriegn sources.

@sstarrrbut that was amended when electoral bonds were passed
First, it eliminated the cap on corporate donations, previously restricted to 7.5 percent of a firm’s average net profits in the past three years. Second, it dropped the requirement that companies disclose details of their political giving. Instead of issuing a thorough inventory of political donations in their annual statement of accounts, firms would only have to divulge an aggregate figure. Third, the government—with support from the opposition—amended the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA)to expand the definition of a “foreign” firm, with the express intent of widening the ambit of firms that could legally make political donations. The upshot of these changes was as obvious as it was unfortunate. Any individual, firm or special interest group could now give an unlimited sum of money to any political party without disclosing a single rupee and nobody
