Anyone in bangalore preparing for cs main 2013, working professionals are invited to join this thread. Here we can post strategy, books, notes etc as time is a major constraint for us.
@amber and @Swati85 Lot of books are referred in this forum for preparttion but since we have time constraint can we all zero down to 2-3 books on each paper which covers maximum topics if not all. Any coaching materials you guys are referring?
My optional is Geography.I have just started preparing for Mains,so I dont have much idea about all the books I am covering up GS -1 and 2 now.Let me finish up these topics,I can help you guys on it.
I have enrolled in Vision Ias test series..let see how it works.Maybe you can try other test series and we can share papers .I am relying on flipkart/other e biz sites for buying books as Avenue Rd/Sapna sucks!!
I too have started preparation for Mains 2013, optional Pub Ad.
Has anyone joined any institute in Bangalore for mains coaching this year?? I am not sure if there is any Study circle in Bangalore BUT I find South end circle library having quite a few serious aspirants.
My optional is Economics. I have started paper 1 and 2 as of now. For paper 1 I am referring Arjun dev for world history (apart from NCERT books class IX and X), Indian culture form IGNOU material, Indian societ, role of women , povert etc from IGNOU material. For paper 2, I am referring Handbook of India's International Relations by David Scott. I am planning to get Vajiram's notes for mains to supplement my study.
