@vikhcu2073 Thanks for the input. I have found the nature of PYQs to be highly dynamic and in this regard, having a grasp on the contemporary issues along with decent fodder like examples and sociological thinkers is definitely useful 


For a change - can we make this thread worthwhile? I think we can really enhance our scores by sharing good examples from contemporary events. We can do it on a closed Telegram group if you don’t want to share content in open. Please let me know.

Yes, it would be very helpful. Can you please add me if a group is already made.

Please, if anyone could help me regarding it.

@nitinab7 In 2020, we were given 4 pages in paper 1 and 3 pages in paper 2. Some questions had 4 as well, no idea why so much variation was there, was perplexed myself in the exam hall.

Hey Sociology folks! Was just going through AIR 15 Neha Bhonsle's blog and my mind is blown! She attended coaching, read NCERTs, IGNOU, notes of Upendra Sir, Mohapatra Sir, Tusharanshu Sir, also read Haralambos and Vikas Ranjan and made her own notes out of all these after multiple readings. How am I supposed to cover all this multiple times in 3 months along with GS. Having major anxiety ever since I read the blog. Can somebody please tell me there's a better, more efficient way to cover all this or do I mentally prepare myself that all this HAS to be done?
