Mains 2023 - In or out?

Out with sociology, 3rd mains (5th attempt). Gave state pcs mains, civils mains, IFoS mains this year. Failed 2 already, not much hope on the 3rd. Something may be wrong with my style of answer writing. I accept it. God's plan. All for my own good.

Kindly consider this as only my personal experience or rant. 

Sociology ruined everything for me is what I feel after 3 mains. Useless, half baked mahapatra sir classes and his notes (costed me 2 mains clearly). On top of this, not very good scoring. 

I like the subject. But never scored well.

@Tata my scores were 191, 230. 3rd i dunno yet. Yes I agree with you that many others have scored far better than me and got through. Any further explanation would take too long a post in terms of what went wrong for me from sirs classes. So kindly consider above opinion as a personal one which I wanted to vent out.

@Tata In brief,

Use formal sociological expressions/terminologies, book names in answers - Sir uses informal language in class

Use good amount of thinkers (understand their core ideas) in answers; sir tells not to use many thinkers apart from basic names. Wrong notion. 

Nitin sangwan is a very good source if you find standard books complex to manage. Also, you can look at Neha Bhonsle answer copies and Jagrati's strategy.

Wish you good luck. Above advice is from my personal experience.
