General Studies Notes from Prelims

Hi Everyone. Updating the blog after long as was tied up with district training & with Punjab going for polls the schedule became even more demanding. Anyways, I had prepared notes for prelims in soft copy on my laptop which I am sharing here. The notes on Geography are of optional standard (as I had geography as optional in Prelims) but still can be referred selectively especially the sections on “Geography of India” and “Geography of the world”. I wanted to publish them but my contract with the publisher expired as I couldn't take out time to shape them up......so thought lets share them.

I have also uploaded notes of current affairs that I had prepared for preliminary examination of the year 2008. The intention was just to share with you how I used to organize the information from various sources. I used to prepare the current affairs notes mainly from two sources: News & Events Magazine (the thin monthly magazine which you get for Rs. 8) & Chronicle magazine (which I used to buy mainly for Mains examination but some portions were helpful for prelims too).

The notes can be accessed by pasting anyone of the two links mentioned below in the address bar for your browser & pressing enter.

Download from Google Docs:

https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B-5WdSFmy5ZrYzZkNjE1ODktYmRkNS00MGVmLWJkNDQtODE4ODdkYTQ0YTk4

or

Download from Skydrive:

Once they are downloaded, you can use free software like winzip or winrar (can be downloaded for free from sites like download.com) to extract them (Right click on the file & click “extract here”). Good Luck!!

  4. Sir, Looking for an earliest reply from your side on the following issues!
    1.Which software you used while preparing the notes ? How were they managed ie. daily,weekly or monthly?
    2. I am confused between psychology and pub ad as my 2nd optional. Can you please brief them out about pros & cons? I almost have a similar interest in both of them. How should I decide?
    I am currently pursuing engineering.
