[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?
This is the official Thread for discussion of Prelims Postponement, Please do not create new threads for the same.
Hello
could someone please throw some light on this?How come current affairs can be taught by some xyz?
Isn’t it supposed to be prepared on our own only?
I am new here or is it a just market gimmick?
or is this spoon feeding really efficient and beneficial?
What is your strategy to do Current Affairs? What are your sources? How long have you been referring to these sources?
Is the DK Balaji book available on the internet? Can someone please share the pdf, if possible. Thank you
I tried looking on https://b-ok.asia/ but its not there. If you manage the PDF somehow, do share!
No 1,
@Agog even i was thinking of joining his classes. wht should i do? damn confused over the thing. previous years toppers just cant keep themselves thanking him. I dont knw wht to do. pls help.
@Agog can i get his booklets from somewhere?
See reg DIPIN sir , I can assure that the content , understanding and the answer writing you would be doing during the classes would be helpful. It depends upon individuals how u use them. Flow diagrams might be helpful. Rest one should choose what suits him rather than commenting or comparing.
PS : it's just my personal views !! Rest i guess the schedule of the classes (tentative 10th july ) seems to be a concern as hardly one would be attending them in Aug-Sep.
Happy Learning !!

Before Mains, it gets tough to manage all these things. Sir, teaches issues - so it becomes easy to manage before mains. Thats all. If you can manage all of these on your own, you can skip joining any classes.
Akanksha_Jain,@Agog can i get his booklets from somewhere?
Try freeupscmaterial or upsc pdf website. All coaching study material on the planet is there
@Akanksha_Jain i referred to Dipin sir booklets,if he does teach ditto same in class nothing xtra i culd find ther srry 2 say,in fact it seemed rstv playlist jotted down.At most it m8 b satisficing/time saving 4 those in job who culdnt read paper whole year eg rank 5 2017.I hav seen almost evry1 reading paper and even classes,dnt know if tht really saves time!Issue s consolidation even with me wch can by done by any institute compilation lik vision or insight not both!
Handouts have 40-50% of what is taught in class. There is significant value addition over and above handouts, otherwise what will be the use of sitting 3 hours in the class for so many days! handouts are anyway available in Imagerunners.
@goldberry just curious about one thing- won’t that lead to duplication of efforts?
I have followed Secure and TLP for 2 years. In between 2016 and 2017 I wrote at least 1000 questions. I felt I was doing fine. Last year I changed my strategy to making 1 single document on every issue instead of reading hundreds of articles on the same issue. In discuss there was Pratham Sir with ID peacefulwarrior who said that he had joined classes and made notes of sirs notes also and had one page notes for every topic. Otherwise it becomes difficult to revise before exam.
In SFG Minal ma'am was there who told me to join the classes, so I did it. I didnt do anything else apart from it ( first mains, lack of time , read half of vision). I don't waste too much time on CA, I just do classes and do selective topics from Vision.
My approach is to have single notes on every topic like women empowerment, food security, and classes align with my strategy. It may or may not align with your strategy.
@Chanakya Why won't it work in other states?
Chanakya,
I am just sharing part of my notes, how i organise it in Evernote
Don't u think this will end up to huge pile up of copy paste notes ?
I copy paste only relevant stuff. Also, i dont copy paste whole article, only keywords. I take print outs and study them. I use them for revising before every test. MGP tests are tough, its not like solving Prelims MCQs where you can read Laxmikant and go. You dont have one single book, so own notes are important.
