@Darvey78 1st attempt buddy so can't really judge... But as far as I understood... Iss saal questions ki language thodi easy thi to comprehend as compared to last years.... Baki paper2 some questions were vague and had to write sada GS kind of answer and forcefully had to use Pubad terms extra and theories.

@GaneshGaitonde  so this is my first mains attempt. I had followed Nikhil sirs TS at insights (pretty helpful since I'm from Engg background, and had studied PSIR on my own), I had also started off with SR, and then understood that isse kaam nahin chalega, and then painstakingly  using her notes as a guidance, made my own notes and revised etc etc etc. 

But the last week, I just had so much anxiety, that everyone else has had looked at Ma'am notes and attended her classes and would be pretty much thorough with everything. Nikhil sir was quite a help, but even then, I was feeling ki whether I made a mistake of not enrolling for a second test series etc etc etc. 

Ma'am notes seriously seem inadequate, but there is this TINA factor wrt PSIR optional...


Do share your experience once the marks are released. I personally believe you'll have fresh content to offer due to the Test series.

Even Rank 5 Utkarsh (300 plus in PSIR last year) had joined Vision Test series & claimed it to be a major factor in enriching his content.


But the TINA factor is real with respect to PSIR😅

Not very sure what extra content enrichment all other content has. except for random scholars which appear out of nowhere in their answer I could not find any thing which upgrades content made from SR CC or test series and her classroom. 

There is a clear difference in the way student approach answers. I can quote a small example. Yesterday I was checking  answers on Fascism 

All students somehow mentioned it as Hodge podge of ideologies & Same Mussolini quote of nothing above beyond... state (Mam's Notes) 

However, one of students instead talked of Mussolini  saying - "Fascism accepts the individual only insofar as his interests coincide with the state's". Further he went on to say that fascism tries to replace materialism by a mystical idealism etc 


This at least to me was fresh & forced me to award greater marks

Boss,optional mai thike it's easy to replace introduction and conclusion due to the depthness of the subjects.


But what about Gs 1,2,3?

Gs 2 people generally introduce with articles or issues in news/stats etc 

Eg. If it's about defection. 

1. intro - schedule x adl law 52nd amendment , 1985

2. Recent Maharashtra defections.

Or at Max someone would give a quote on the related topics.

How do we bring a difference over here?

@Truthseeker9 just read an article suggesting it. It is not considered by  government yet. But  looks possible looking at intent of government to reform.

Either way civil servants are glorified clerks under political executive better if they are skill and experienced ones rather flamboyant Instagram generation of ias we are looking at.
