Ask for postal correspondence material of ma'am, not the one written by students
@MarcusA So 2 pages for 10 marks, 3 pages for 15 marks and 4 pages for 20 marks?
MarcusA,
@dragon_rider mostly yes. Though last year 2019 mains, there was an exception. In PSIR, one paper had 4 sides for all 20 markers, while the other paper had some 20 markers with 3 sides only. My memory is a bit hazy on this, so maybe others can shed light on which paper specifically. I think Paper 2, section B questions (India and World) had 3 side 20-markers. 2018 mains had 4 sides for both, as far as I can remember.
One has no choice but to adapt in the hall, but do give a glance through the answer booklet in the begining itself and plan accordingly.

@Faith001 bro did madam provide any notes on Caste religion?
@Zlatan07 caste religion are in her class notes. Nothing contemporary provided
From where and how are you covering Section B of Paper I? I never covered it in a comprehensive manner and I personally find it the most difficult part of PSIR.
Selective topics could be done from BL Fadia(sm, pg)
Freedom movement, perspective from Sekhar Bandopadhyay or Bipin chandra
Selective constitution topics from Bidyut Chakraborty or there is also another good book Oxford Handbook on Indian politics i guess
^^all these are good but very tough to complete in limited time
