Official Thread for Public Administration Optional - Questions &amp; Answers

@Thoroughly_ScrewedDude, this is 40% of the syllabus that you’re looking to cover in a week or so. Introduction and Thinkers are very important chapters that’ll require at least 4 days each, I feel. What do the others say?

Understand, thats the pace i wanted to go. But am with the time frame. I can set questions according to everyones convenience. We can extend it to two weeks/ more. its absolutely fine with me. So u take a call. Lets start from there.

prowess .

The plan suggested by @Bhagat-singhsounds more feasible, i request him to take the lead.
@Bhagat-singhplz share the plan as to which thinker and which chapters we are going to cover in the next few days. so that we can plan accordingly.

It ain't about how hard you hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward !

If there is one already, great, lets go ahead with it. Whats imp is writing doesnt matter, how long u take to start or finsih, Discuss. 2016 it was very lively, then it wasnt. Hope this platform goes back to such a stage

This is fine with me!

Whoever wants to take part please do approve of it or make necessary amends, let's start discussion first.

LalSalaam .

@Bhagat-singhThanks for the well aid plan. But I request you to please integrate answer writing in the schedule, if possible. I assume that many of us have already given Mains earlier. Hence, we can start the answer writing and improve it in the process. Something similar to what we were doing prior to Prelims.

Hakunah_Matata .

@LalSalaamThe schedule is for answer writing only. Howelse are we going to collaborate on this platform. During the mentioned period questions related to specific chapters will be discussed.

@Hakunah_Matataexactly.

If everyone is fine with the given time table. Then we can start today or tomorrow .
Ch1- 5 days
Day 1 - meaning, scope, significance and evolution Thinker - Wilson
Day 2- NPA , blacksburg manifesto, critical choice theory, Thinker - Waldo
Day 3- Public Choice approach, challenges of LPG, Thinker- Taylor
Day 4 - Good governance and its related concepts like governmentality, digital era governance etc
Thinker -Fayol
Day 5- NPM , NPS etc. Thinker - Gulick and urwick

Should we take previous year questions only or both previous years + test series

Taylor .

@Bhagat-singhThis Time table is fine for me

LalSalaam .

@Bhagat-singhI am in too.

@Bhagat-singhI am finw ith but its a bit off, bec Critical Choice, Blacksburg and Waldo should be done much later. Just an observation.

presuming evaryone has done the syllabus already this should do.

@Thoroughly_Screwedas u suggest sir. Waldo i took earlier coz of NPA . If u think we shld do it later then its ok . We could do taylor then

@Bhagat-singhI have no issues bro, I am okay any which way, just that

all classical thinkers at one go could be a good choice. I would go a bit ahead and say, do all management related stuff in one go and then Bureaucracy related stuff. this is my approach.

irrespective of it i would be happy to write whatever is posted. lets just stick to one TT, and write accordingly whichever is acceptable to most.

this finalisation should be done today but. Thanks!
