Mission Mains 2021 - GS Paper 2 & 3

This is for those of you who are planning to write Mains 2020 ( subject to prelims happening ) and we clearing it. Nevertheless, in this time of lull, I am iniviting all people to come up with Mains related study material and Daily Q & A. I will be regular with the newspaper, my self and try to post questions. Anyone else interested, please contribute!

Let us have separate thread for GS Paper 4 & Essay as GS 2 and 3 are largely from current, and we can pool lot of questions.

If @root can help to pin it up, then we can begin with a small group.

Will help in daily accountability.

Please suggest me how to prepare Gs2 (I appeared in mains 2019 and got very less marks-75 , please help me), kindly mention sources also.

1. Practice writing answers

2. Read about issues (pros-cons- way forward)

3. Get a grip on the terminology. Link answers to constitution, constitution's values, SC judgements. 

4. End an answer on a +ve note, with a suggestion as far as possible.

Newspaper, your own notes, any good GS2 compilation (Vision/Forum)

I have tried to answer your question - in a question on domestic violence , should we write pros of domestic violence in the discussion video.


You can ping me / inbox me / call me if you need to discuss that further.

M Puri sir is the best for paper 2. I am a great fan of him and owe a lot to him. There is an old discuss forum thread where many seniors have talked about how he guides and mentors. Also answer writing and personal evaluation threads as on forum

Here for the helo of newcomers https://discuss.forumias.com/discussion/31293/how-is-m-puri-for-gs2-2018

There is nothing like answer writing. I think he is coming up with a separate test series also for this year mains. Will be of great help for those who find his course costly

also there is no help like self help. All the best everyone. Kuddos to forumias

To guys who have given mains earlier.  I cleared prelims by just analysing and preparing stuff around last 10 PYQ. Can it be done for Mains too? Like I pick up last 6 yrs questions and mug and understand the relevant topics..

Not really for 1,2, 3. Please stick to mains syllabus and the dynamic issues around it. You could however, use this strategy to see trend of questions. For example, questions asked under the topic of migration, History. 

However, use gs 4 questions for Answer writing practice.

The sectors you can identify from Niti Aayog strategy Document. And then prepare the current issues around it. Primarlu idea should be:

1. Where we stand currently wrt that sector, Current problems/gaps in that sector

2. New interventions in sector - eg: online schooling in education sector

3. Steps taken by the Government

4. What more can be done?

5. Best practices if any?

6. World examples of best practices
