Hello,
As we all know the significance of previous year GS questions,so lets have a holistic discussion on the same
I will be posting questions from the previous year - maximum of 3 questions each from 4 GS papers. - From Tomorrow.
No need to post answers. Structure and framework of answer, Keywords in the answer, facts can be discussed.
By doing this at least 50% of GS static part will be done and by the time we will be completing the papers, we will be in a better position to structure out our answers.
Hope this helps all
P.S - Please try to keep the thread clean
.
