Ofcourse you would have a list prepared for the quantum entanglement terms that you just introduced. Are you planning to share them with us?

what about Essays? People often focus on gs and optional neglecting essays, which is an essay return on investment. I don’t have any big collection of poetry/ annecdotes that @/rashmirathi or @/tedmosby has, neither is my flow that natural. Ofcourse I’m confident w my abilities and Ik that I’ll score avg marks in essay. But I wanna know if there’s a quantum entanglement like feature that you decided for essay? Or it’s just  about having a thesis statement and creating flow w it?

for Best prac/ case studies, give few examples of quantum entanglement? Cause we use case studies either to substantiate our arguement or to highlight a new prac from which we learn. 

Was going through answer of copy of air 2 of 2023, and he filled his answers with committees( in body + conclusion). There were few answers where he quoted at least 3-4 committees in a single answer. Since you were an evaluator earlier, do you think this will become a trend? If yes. Do you have any committee doc prepared w you? Can you give quantum entanglement examples?  What I figured from going through air 2’s copy is :

challenges in electoral system:

1. Criminalisation of politics( ADR report)

2. Exessive money power ( Indrajit Sinha committee)

3. Policy paralysis due to multiple election cycle( Dinesh Goswami committee)

Etc etc.

is this what you mean by quantum entanglement when using committees?

This years GS papers required a comprehensive understanding over what’s going around the country and the world. Especially the ethics ka paper, what was your approach while solving case studies? Especially the one that resembled Manipur crises wala, where women were marching to protect the perpetrators? >>If possible share gyan on ethics case study approach given the thodasa changing pattern of case studies+ rising level of preparedness from the crowd.

How Far is it okay to bullshit in mains examination? I wrote capf and did some bullshiting there in its essay. I cleared capf, though Idk what my marks are yet. It’s just that I’m not confident in bs, and did bs where i vaguely remembered the stats. 

I’m writing mgp’25, and I’m value adding from mgp 22-24 solutions, however when I go through toppers copy( 2019-23, top 20), fat jati hai. Most of their answers are better than model mgp answers.Bhai, Kahan se improve karu?And tbh I’m done w focusing on value addition, mgp++ kar lia, gsap kar lia, went through VAM of vision, basna. What’s this endless cycle?? Maybe I should keep certain things on luck, but then after topper ke copies im like wtf can’t leave this on luck, I have to grind. :3

also how’s Air1 of ‘22 doing?  Any in training insights from her that you would like to share? I have heard they have cracked down on using electronics within the campus.

Hahaha, I don't know about the training. AIR 1's whereabouts won't add any value to anyone's preparation in my opinion:P

But anyway, I do have a list prepared but I don't think such content bombardment will help anyone. The focus should be on CAPACITY BUILDING of self. You are not a beginner but rather someone who has already prepared content. You just need help to develop that insight. 

Wrt, Essay, you need to let go of the ready made market based Hook, Thesis Scoping Anti Thesis. You need to develop organic writing skill. This is where mentorship and support comes into play. Please write the same essays as Rank 10 (Rahul Shrivastava 2022). Then compare and you'll get the best insights. You can write the same essay and then share with me. I will be happy to help you if it's troubling you too much . (May be a Google meet) 

If you don't have a flow, you NEED to develop it. If you don't have anecdotes and poems, prepare it. But you can't wait for some day where you'll have all content ready to write a perfect essay. The process is: 

Write an essay from topper copy ->Get Insights - >Then add learning & value addition if needed ->Re-Write and repeat. 

Writing a VERY POOR essay on your own and then reading topper essay will help you develop great insights as to What is exactly needed.Writing a POOR ANSWER OR POOR ESSAY IS A VICTORY.Unless most beginners realise this, things won't improve. 

I will recommend people to write Topper answers only and NOT go for test series especially till December & January. I am not downplaying the role of test series but that doesn't mean ignoring the topper copies. If you can do both, Wonderful! 

Next, The thing about value addition is not to keep adding more but developing the CAPACITY to brainstorm with each syllabus point. 

Has anyone asked you to brainstorm each of your value addition point with syllabus in front of you and see where all you can put it? This is an absolute necessity. Don't think it as a luxury. 

Mindless answer writing doesn't help. You have to brainstorm too. A good answer is a mix of presentation, content, expression and brainstorming. 

Please look at topper copy of one or two toppers you relate with and don't just copy them. Your Value addition is different from theirs. You need to put YOUR content into the paper. Don't keep hopping from one topper to another in search of more value addition.

lol thanks to your bold highlighting of the term capacity building I realise, this is more or less mba dude bro talks.  jokes apart.

Ofcourse I'll send you my essays! looking forward to having g-meet with you. ig its been more than one year since our interaction is due xD.

As you said I'm not new, toh yes  I do brainstorm  what I pick up from newspapers and try to fit it in the syllabus. Ofcourse one can improve their quality and efficiency of brainstorming, and I can see my  growth. And hmm thanks for reminding me, I'll consolidate my content and try to put it in different areas of syllabus. I do have one pagers prepared, abhi uski refiningchal rahi hai. 

 As of answer writing, I dont think I'm doing mindless answer writing. I was fortunateenough to have interacted with mentors like Navya and Payal ma'am during my early prep phase. I would take my copies to them and ask how I could have improved w the limited knowledge I have. Now idk I don't refer to mentors much, eval toh lol hi, its more about being in touch w writing answers and improving presentation for me rn. If you dont mind I'll send  this years mgp copies?

I liked that  hopping part. Even while doing the exercise I quickly realised it was giving no fruits and causing me anxiety toh I deleted the remaining answer copies. Also if Toppers ka answer copy likhna hi hai, toh I'll do that from mid- dec. 

 About the content bombardment helping anyone or not, let us be the one to judge that na bhai? If you are willing to, then do share. If not 100 %, but even if it helps 30% then I'm sure, it'll be a good investment of time. Ofcourse we'll have to work and absorb that content and it's okay. Kar lenge voh. We'll even map where all we can use it.

CHEAT AND WRITE: ANSWER WRITING FOR ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS 

For Absolute beginners who intend to write answers but don't have enough content. The best way for you is to CHEAT and WRITE.

Here's the process that might help you create a feedback loop for your content. 

1. Go and chose a topper with high score & one that you find relatable. 

2. Go and chose the question theme you want to write (Cheat the topic and not the Q) 

3. Go and read your topic 

4. Write in 7-10 or 11-14 minutes and compare ! Observe how topper writes (Keywords, short sentences, diagram & Intro/ conclusion).

Copy their content and you can add lot of value from their styles 

I am sure beginners face this conundrum. Go and try this once, you'll feel immense improvement in your notes rather than mindlessly writing test series before even completing the syllabus nicely and being forced to face random questions even when you are just getting the hang of syllabus. 

Most importantly, this will END YOUR INERTIA OF ANSWER WRITING. This can be beneficial even for some higher attempt people. It's a magical INERTIA SLAYER.

I had adopted this technique in this attempt and it did help me in GS (according to my self analysis baaki marks ka pata nahi). 

Great initiative btw@GaneshGaitonde. I would like to have a gmeet session too. Kuch planned ho toh batana.

Why not bhai. Let's have it soon.

Jab apka mann kare, drop me a message. I am sharing my telegram ID with you in the personal message. 

Also, aap sab contribute karenge to thoda easy rahega for all those who are beginning. Let's ensure the younger ones don't face the issues that we did!
