@mahi2501haha..loved your conclusion.
Well the answer is good enough..should easily get you 55-60% of marks.
Good elaboration on how administrative theory roots lies in political theory.
Just one suggestion is to focus little bit more on Waldo work here..That would be icing on the cake.
For example, in his work "The Administrative State" Waldo talks about relevance, social equity, justice, values aspect (These will later form the basis for New Public Administration,NPA in 1950-60s). He brought politics-administrative fusion highlighting that efficiency maniac approach of classical thinkers cannot work in the administration of a democratic state. Eventually he got engaed in famous Simon-Waldo debate where he highlighted the need of democratic values and relevance in administration in comparison to Simon's focus on science of administration, fact based, efficiency driven (satisficing) approach of administration.
adding few lines here and there from pub ad would increase the appeal of your answer. In any case i found your answer good enough.
Keep it up.
@IWRAThank you sir...
Can I use such conclusion in exams?? Doesn't it looks childish?
@mahi2501I found it ok.
@mahi2501it's good conclusion. Just learn the art of brevity. (Remember word limit is merely 150 for such questions). Present more points in less words. Writing long paragraphs is no more beneficial in pub adm. No point should be more than 2-3 lines IMO. Better to write more points in more dimensions with some flow chart etc.
Knowledge base is good. But improve presentation otherwise you will be back at square one thus scoring average marks finally.
Keep Writing.

@Hakunah_MatataCould you please tell us what worked for you? What your strategy was, test series attempted by you, etc? My scores have been 266 (2018), 249 (2017), 276 (2016), so I’d love to hear from you
@LalSalaamThat’s a really good score! What was your strategy? Could you please elaborate?
@iceblock93for now unable to recollect much.....lets discuss and sort out things in details after prelims.
@iceblock93
I don't recollect much. But as far as I remember it was merely writing answer and linking concepts, something at which "iwra" is extremely good at. Let's practice this year as well under the guidance of the qualified ones.
@Hakunah_MatataCool, dude!
