ReplyDeleteSir ,
ReplyDeletei am a computer engg. graduate from DCE. I have taken Pub ad and Psychology as my optionals .im confident abt pub ad but really anxious about psychology .i have joined mukul pathak and today was my first class.if u get time can you plz give an elaborate strategy for psycho preparation...
u are a great inspiration to all of us.. thnkx
@Saras
ReplyDeleteI myself found psycho rather unpredictable. I got 323 in first attempt without much preparation. In second attempt I got 296 n this year just 280....What should I say? 90 % of my preparation was just based on Pathak Sir's class notes.
i think ghanshyam sir marks in psycho diluted his rank,i also agrre with sir that psycho is unpredictable,but contrary to this i have seen one of the selected candidate this year got 360 and above,i also have psycho and i m learning to tackle the optional with graet care.
ReplyDeletehi ghanshyam, you got good marks in GS.
ReplyDeletecan you explain what did you do preparation wise and writting wise. lot of students could not cross 270 in GS this year
@Sudheer
ReplyDeletePlease go through the entire blog....I've mentioned the tips & strategy for GS before.
Sir,Best wishes to you for your grand success.Sir i m going to give my first attempt in 2011…sir i want to know about moderation/scaling….i didnt get the funda of moderation…what is dat sir..pls reply sir..waiting fr your reply sir
ReplyDeleteHello Sir
ReplyDeleteI am a mech engg. graduate from NIT Jaipur. I will be joining SP Jain,Mumbai PGDM from next week. I have taken Maths and Management my optionals .
Could u plz tell me being an MBA y u dint choose management as an optional(beacuse i have seen only 1-2 ppl in top ranks with managemnt as an optiona).Also could you plaese tell me how u managed ur studies while doing MBA .if possible suggest some coaching institute/guidane in mumbai for IAS.thnks
@Nishant
ReplyDeleteI did not opt for management coz of two reasons
1. Vast syllabus
2. Lack of guidance & readymade material.
Moreover I am Geography honours graduate & had studied biology till 12th (so opted for psychology...Also Org. Beh from MBA helped).
You can take up management but would advise you to reconsider maths.
@Dream
ReplyDeleteModeration or scaling is a process of brining a tough paper or liberal marking at par with some other subject in which paper was relatively easy .

Aditya

ReplyDeletesir, I am an engineering student
ReplyDeletewhich optional do not require very good language expression and are direct..
Hello Ghanshyam,
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success! Your blog makes an interesting reading. You should write more!
You had mentioned somewhere in the blog that you will share your approach for Geo optional. Could you please share it?
Thanks!
Rajesh
@Dream
ReplyDeleteScaling is done for every paper.....For some papers there is upscaling for some downscaling & if any paper falls very close to the avearge there might be no scaling done at all (infact in such cases also scaling is applied but result does not alter or alters insignificantly say by 1 or 2 marks plus or minus).
@Ashu
Was planning to upload but scanning is a pain. I've kept one xerox copy at xerox shop opposite aggarwal sweets in Old Rajinder Nagar...You can take the xerox from there.
@Abhinav
ReplyDeleteYou cannot skip expressions entirely as they are very much needed in essay....So would suggest you develop writing skills.....Only subjects like Maths, physics & similar optionals can be dealt with without much of linguistic competence but for humanities optionals decent explanation skills are needed though there is no need to write in flowery language.
@Rajesh
Thanks.....I've updated approach on geography in "Geopsychological Quagmire" section....Please check it...Good Luck.
hi Sir,
ReplyDeleteCan you please help with the commerce study material. Can you please ask any of your friends once in the academy that which are good notes for commerce. Also, for Pub Admin.
Dear Sir,
ReplyDeleteThere is non availability of many topics,
particularly the newly added ones.
Even topics given in majid sir's book are somewhat vague.
same is the case with many books.
please guide how to sail through this ?
are neetu singh's and alok sir's note easily
comprehensible, considering i haven't attended them ? do they cover 100% syllabus together ?
Kindly guide !
Regards
Kapil Choudhary

ReplyDeleteHI, I am one of the student of paradigm IAS Academy and found this to be one of the best Academy i ever know ,the Academy not just shows the dream but also stands with the students .it has adequate & rich notes . The class is fully devoted to its work and the results self tells the story .It completes all the expectations of the student . My experience @ paradigm IAS Academy has been great & the exact place for all IAS aspirants before visiting Paradigm IAS Academy i was really hopeless n found no solutions but,after joining Paradigm IAS Academy I m really proud of being its student i have gone through all the notes from Delhi n visited many of the coachings but could not find one to fulfill my expectations but when luckily i visited paradigm i felt great found exactly i was searching for, even the Notes i got from Paradigm are not just the copy of the books which are provided in Delhi but a complete solution and at the level to qualify.
ReplyDeleteParadigm IAS Academy- The Best Academy. after visiting many classes & institutes for IAS, i finally met my expectations wit Paradigm IAS Academy. the strategy is completely markable & notes are concise & exam qualifying
