It was available at their telegram channel. I mostly referred them for accounting section and a few labor laws.

Am I the only one who has forgotten what exactly I wrote in the exam? There are very few questions that I can recall very clearly. For mostly I only have a rough idea while a few I am completely blank.

Any good non fix recs my peeps? I’m on a roll “downloading” books.

Non fiction is in itself a very broad canvas. Would help if you could narrow it down to some themes :P

Anyway, some books that you might find interesting: 

• Guns, Germs & Steel by Jared Diamond
• 1971: A Global History of the Creation of Bangladesh by Srinath Raghavan
• India's China Challenge by Ananth Krishnan (not just your usual IR book)
• Bluets by Maggie Nelson (lyrical essays about life) 

Have already read GGS really liked it a lot and already downloaded China Challenge. I like IR and history related stuff

Although there's a plethora of suggestions already, I still wanted to pitch in some more considering that I read from both of these genres primarily as well. You might have read some of these, but l hope you find something new and fun. 

Here it goes: 

1. The Revenge of Geography: Robert Kaplan 
2. Great Game East (Myanmar-India-China): Bertil Lintner 
3. My Enemy's Enemy (Afghanistan-India-Pakistan): Avinash Paliwal 
4. Choices: SSS Menon 
5. The India Way: S Jaishankar 
6. Land of Seven Rivers: S Sanyal 

Have read the last 3 a long time ago and have been meaning to check out revenge of geography for a while now. Thanks for reminding me about this book 😅

Here's some asla barood from my side as well :

1) India and the world: Through the eyes of Indian diplomats- Amb. Surendra Kumar

2) The long game: Rushdoshi (I don't remember his full name)

3) India & Asian Geopolitics: Shivshankar Menon

4) The avoidable war: Kevin Rudd

5) A new cold war: Henry Kissinger

6) Kathmandu Dialogue

7) Do morals matter: Joseph Nye

8) Power and diplomacy: Zoravar Daulat Singh

Anyone preparing for rbi grade b?

I intend to give it. last year closely missed pre due to shocker of a quant and reasoning. The new pattern seems perfect for cse guys with subjective qsns and ethics etc included in the paper

Yes. Comparatively, SEBI is far tougher, different, and needs a very specific demand. In a constant dilemma because of that, whether to proceed with the prep or not. 

True . But Dena toh hai , beggars are not choosers wala haal hai soo

Are RBI and ACIO notifications out?

Acio , epfo are not regular exams , they happen once in 3-4 years I think. Even current acio and EPFO interviews are pendings plus acio had bumper vacancies this time 2000 . so chances of exam happening in near future appear bleak.

@chamomile same here. Looking at paper and trying to recall again and again. I remember what I wrote in last year's mains though. 

Preparation was better this time. But due to fever, wrote exams with subconscious mind. Can't recall what all have i written. (Completed all papers except GS3 though). 

Trying to avoid coming here and commenting for the fear of making it a RR thread.
