Is it too late to start reading economic survey?

edited July 2016 in Preparation FAQs
With just 12 days in hand and other subjects to study as well, should I read economic survey or not? I have not read it even once.

  • Get some summary and go through it.will hardly take 3-4 hours.
  • If you can find a summary, read that.
    Don't read the actual one now.

    I don't know any good summary.
    You can try Mrunal's lectures. He would've covered Budget, survey and relevant parts of IYB in his videos.
    +1 if one can watch 12 hours non stop.. he covers it beautifully and in simple language.
  • Thanks adiguru and DrKingSchultz.
  • Its do or die.no summary will give u real satisfection of yeah i m done n come on bring it on :D .u need to do line by line of Es.if ur clear wid basics u ll undrstnd everything easily.b calm n read the book.
    Ps-its free ka advice. :)
  • Go for vision Ias. It is the best among the worst. Videos will consume more time of yours.
  • Na yes i m saying so y u knw.last year i only did the hindu for one year n was 100% satisfied wrt current affairs..n cleared pt wid relatively well margin.but dis year i was highly discontinous wid the hindu(deviated to indian express,et or none as well).so i m not confidnt wid currnt affairs.evn after refering vision ca.
    Khud se karne ka satisfection hi kuch aur hain.wo spoon feeding me nahi ata atlst mujhe to nahi aa raha.
  • Thank you for all your comments. I think I will buy vision summary and the book as well and do as Caption Peroxide says. May be this way I'll be able to skip not-so-important pages of the es.
  • Yoy dont required economic survey hardly anything comes from it, pure waste of time if you regular with economic news. ZERO ROI at this stage
  • What has exactly been asked from economic survey specifically ? Ever ?

    I don't remember coming across any question that cannot be answered if you have been regular with the newspaper and have a decent understanding of economics

    I never understand people's fascination for ES.

    Don't waste your time at this stage. summary at max.
  • Do summary now.

    btw eco survey is for building concepts of economy which are indrectly helpful in prelims.

    BUT,there are direct questions in MAINS from economic survey..atleast i remebr 3 qustions in mains which can be answered from last years Economic survey.
