@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?

han wo slaughter campaign toh chalta hi h. that is there

Lekin iss bar kis ki Bari hein ? Har Saal kisi optional ki slaughtering hoti hai. History ki 2020 zabardast hui thei. To shyaad humara number nahi ayega.

Ye upsc hi batayega

ho sakta h kisika na ✂️

Bhai mein suna hein ki during 2008-10 labsana complained about candidates quality not upto mark. It was found history and Pub Ad wale candidates pudhu hote hai and that's why they started slaughtering us.

In 2015 medicine had hit rate of 20% i think. Might be prefering doctors. Which Was quite weird.

Don't know veracity of this fact.Shayad anthro wale bahut smart hote hein.

✂  to Tai hai. 

Neither have Pub. Ad.nor History & nothing personal or against anyone but someone I know closely in the service (in service since 2008) is really pissed with B.tech guys! Said that technical subject people neither understand the rationale nor the principles & never apply brain where logical discretion for principled decisions is required. This was mostly in context with Ministerial & Court work! He pointed out some silliest things which were there in policies but sab nhi bata sakta idhar!  

Kisi ko nhi pata yh desh chal kaise rha h😅

Out ho gaye

Little shocked but anyway I was severely disillusioned by the exam process 😅 (No intention to demotivate anyone) Totally fatigued as gave it all I could 

A good bye to this preparation. Time to focus on my law degree 😁

All the best to all those who got in 🙂. May the force be with you ❤️

What do you mean by, you were totally disillusioned by exam process?
