@PoliceWala & @vibin: I wont be sharing IOI test series & neither should anybody. If you like it, then better buy. It will encourage them to keep up the good work. IOI is a one man website (go check it out) & He works really hard posting articles aimed at rural & self study aspirants.
Oh, I believe he/she is taking outside help for S&T module - some IIT guy if I remember correctly.
However, don't take that as any (or my) reason to share their test module!
Whoever joins whatever institutes , kindly break cyber-rules and copyright act .. Guess what , just upload the materials .. X_X ..
ekdam sahi kaha vibin bhai................totally agree with you.......
What he/ I would like to say is those guys are working like crazy. Have a look at their site all of it is for free. Stuff made available for free is not crap as it is usually. They are not going to follow you like few others did it sometime back. Check their site insightsonindia.com If you still feel you should avail their only high revenue generating work for free no probs. Personally not a big fan of coaching centers but this here is AAP in the world of BJP /Congress we should give them a chance.
this model is indeed different, and probably less revenue generator now, but it is not unprofitable too. I have a friend working at flipkart, and through him i got the sales figures of mrunal's site which is even less profit/ more benevolent model than insights. (infact, insights hits have surpassed mrunal's, check stats thru google) the commission made is pretty decent, i won't disclose the amount, but it was that high to surprise my friend who is also from top iim and earning good money. also, i will give my example, i run a blog that gets less than 100 unique visitors daily and i manage 2000 per month (i have very little content and pretty narrow target segment/audience) so you can extrapolate.. i have huge respect for mrunal and insights guy/guys. they are doing a wonderful job and deserve to be rewarded for their work but they should remain on free model, converting even to freemium would destroy quality and credibility slowly like upscportal. current initiative of insights would either get lukewarm response and die or they would slowly discourage free answer reviewing on daily answer writing etc. and ruin the site slowly.
Insights is doing a very decent job by providing loads of guidance for free. if one is doing such a good job and has taken an initiative that will enable him earn something and in turn allow him to continue this noble initiative then IMO one should participate whole heartedly and also promote the programme.
he has mentioned on the website that one is free to share the papers with the ones who can not afford it.
insights is taking great pain to provide the material and help the students. he has every right to earn something from the services that he is willing to provide.
instead i will urge the fellow members to upload CL/Byju/Visionias/Sriram 's test series who have made the upsc prep a money earning factory and are just looking for profits not welfare.

dude, let me ask you a question, do you think there was only one guy who wanted to be byju or sriram, there were hundreds, each of them tried hard, struggled for years to gain recognition, then reinvested their profits, took loans to build/ buy office/classes. they are entrepreneurs. the way chosen by insights and mrunal etc. is kind of open source type model. you can equate coaching guys to apple, microsoft who charge for their os as opposed to these guys who are like google which gave away android os, chrome os for free. do you think apple, ms as evil and google as saint? probably, not such black and white, right?
rest assured if he continues to work diligently, he won't be destroyed by piracy. no one has actually been harmed by piracy, its a myth, piracy actually supports small guys. anti-piracy crusaders are all big corporations trying to kill the small guy. If you really want to support insights people, copy their material/papers and distribute, seed, share with everybody. If you have time read articles by piratebay founders, etc. or even anurag kashyap on this issue.
