PSIR - Strategy, resources & discussion
Hi peeps. Let’s do this!
1. Previous papers from 2009 (both papers are in the same PDF):here2. Topic-wise PYQs: here
3. Look for PDFs of books here: b-ok.cc, http://libgen.rs/, archive.org
4. Model answers from SR:here
5. OnlyIAS notes, if you need extra matter for a few topics:here
6. SR notes, typed:politicsforindia.com
Hey. There are 6 books in the original notes I got from the website. The handwriting is legible enough, but there are mistakes in spelling. Can you post a link to the ones you found online? So that I can compare with the original ones I have and tell you if there's any difference.
Muffin,Also@whatonly , I was wondering how good is the OnlyIAS notes. It looked kinda comprehensive when I glanced through them (also its typed!) . I assume you completed the syllabus. Do you think its a good replacement for SR notes?
Muffin,@whatonly I found this unboxing video on YouTube.They are claiming to be selling 2019 notes. But when I contacted Shubhra Ranjan team regarding the postal notes they said they are dispatching 2018 notes. So I a bit confused here..
I had bought her postal notes in Jan 2019. They were not the ones shown in video. Later in 2020 i joined her test series, she herself had uploaded a few(not for all topics) revised notes on her drive link....the ones shown in this video are same as them. And as@whatonly says, they do have spelling errors....both the postal one and the one she uploaded on drive.
Mostly the photocopy notes available at xerox shops are same as the ones they (SR's coaching)send by post. If you want an error free copy, you should try contacting someone who attended her classroom course and made notes himself/herself(as suggested by few toppers).
Having said that, even the notes with all the spelling errors are pretty understandable... and when supplemented a little with a few standard books(for certain topics), they do provide comprehensive coverage of syllabus.
Hey guys. Posting this here because I posted so many things here and I am worried someone might take it too seriously :/
I have done quite poorly in PSIR. 119+129=248. I am shocked - expected to do so much better. Was saved by other papers.
So just a disclaimer to take everything I've posted here with several generous pinches of salt 😅

This is Ayush Gupta (AIR 98, CSE2020) talking about PSIR, he scored 289 this time around.@whatonly His CSE2019 PSIR scores are eerily similar to your current scores. I am not sure who you are (except I know that you are a co-Hyderabadi :p ) and if you are going for another attempt or not. If you are planning for another one, this video might be of some help! If you are not, then just ignore :p
