Economics as optional

  • I have heard that Shankar IAS academy and Brilliant Tutorails provide postal coaching for Economics optional. Anyone having idea about it so that we can refer them for effective prepartion as very less guidance is avialble. It is said that if you can understand the basic concepts of Economics its easier to relate with current happenings.
  • I think IGNOU notes are one of the best sources for economy. Many are recommending it.
  • @271274 Can u please specify which IGNOU notes to refer from IGNOU BA and MA Economics course?
  • I don't know about ignou notes but certainly brilliant won't help as that was what told by one of the toppers.also regarding q's being straight forward,i've gone through the papers and nowhere could i find them to be 'straight forward';could be wrong but that assessment is a bit relative.anyways good to see the thread active.so guys,hit this forum according to your convenience and we shall discuss about it.remember the bigger pool we have the more better to study as someone pointed out 'there's very little guidance available'
  • @Sam: BA Ignou notes alone will do to a great extent.
  • @punterdgr8 It's not someone its me who said 'very little guidance' is available, thats because very few people opt for this optional (can be checked by seeing the list of number of candidates taking various optionals for mains in past years). Even after being one of the main stream subjects, due to its complex nature and mathematical background few people only opt it. Questions in UPSC mains in any subject is not straight forward especially in paper I (of economics) well paper 2 is little theroretical. Questions in paper 1 can be tackled by reading economic news and analysis in Hindu, economic times, EPW and other newspapers and magazines. Since on a daily basis so many things are happenning in the world if we be regular, it will be easier for us.
  • Can someone please clarify my doubts?

    1. When FDI & FII comes in, who receives the forex? (Does the investee company or the stake seller get it or they get the converted amount in rupees while RBI keeps the forex?)2. How does this forex get circulated to the people who need it, i.e. the importers?

    Thanks
  • @271274 harshika did she read all these book ?? :O :O
  • @woman ....FDI/ FII is received by businesses. It is basically an investment only (the sources are foreign).
