    I gave 2012 mains with geography.
    Score: 101+130.

    Hoping to score better this year.

    Any idea on Vision IAS test series for Geography? (Corres course)
  • @Alagiri There are two books available 'Human geography by Majid Hussain' Rs.200 and Rs.600.
    Which one did you buy? Last year i did human geo only from ncert and spectrum :-))
  • I don't have Climatology D.S Lal. For what topics do i have to refer it for?
  • @nmr I use it as a reference book. Do it if you want to master Climatology :)
  • Can we expect Indian map this year also? Or will it be phased out like world map?
  • @Rajkumarm I have two books for human Geography part both by majid Hussain.

    1.Human Geography - Rs 250 ISBN : 9788131604595
    2. Model in Geography - Rs 225 8131601366
  • @Sabarmathi Hope UPSC doesnt bring back World Map section again. Anyhow prepare for both world as well as Indian map as UPSC is unpredictable.
  • @Sabarmathi There would be definitely India map question as in end of paper 2 it is mentioned but same isnt mentioned for Paper I so m sure they wont ask in Paper I but its a must for Paper II
  • for indian geography part, khullar is ok? or, should i have to read mamoria again? Agricultural geography of majid hussain is also a good buy for mains ...
