[Results] Prelims 2020 Over - Gearing for 2021
Because of the corona virus issue? If it does not happen then worst affected will be people whose interview is stuck, around 600-700 such people I think are yet to appear for their interview.
@neyawn sir and others, what is your take?

Raillife,
What is the best book to prepare for ethics?
I know books are not enough to prepare for ethics but I want a starting point. There are so many options out there that I am now thoroughly confused. Here are the top books recommended:
1) Lexicon (I was about to buy this but then saw that Vajiram teachers tell students not to buy this book specifically)
2) Subba Rao (Bulky)
3) Decode Ethics by Mudit Jain (although written by a topper, I couldn't find genuine reviews)
4) DK Balaji (again written by a topper but no genuine reviews good or bad)
5) M Kartikeyan book
I will be grateful for any other books/sources. Thank you.

I have had to read all these books, so I can give you a feeback.
1. Lexicon - You buy it but it is no longer useful. Better than that is this dictionary of ethics by Insights . I am not able to find the link right now, but I will share with you. It is gold for beginners.
2. Subba Rao - some parts are good, but its better to leave.
3. Decode - It has some answers, but baat kuchch nikal kar nahi aayi.
4. D K Balaji - Damn good book - Must have - it has lot of good things - will help build the base.
5. M Kartikeyan - Also a good book - This and Balaji both are good, but between Balaji and M K , I would say go for Balaji because it is less bulky and you will actually finish it. You can buy both.
If you don't know anything, check out handwritten notes of Forumias. It was shared by someone last year before Mains, and it was gem - the person had beautifully written it down. You could answer 70% of questions from it.

I see what you did there :) Anyway, I took a look. The file permissions were messed up. This has been fixed :)
It can be downloaded now. You can use it as a primer for Ethics. There is another file you can get started with . Let me see if I can find that.
