Congratulations,
And Keep up the motivation who couldn't make thru mains. I too failed in my second attempt with PSIR as optional.

Can you people please share your experiences. How did you approach PSIR. I am in Hyderabad. Can anyone provide any info about good weekend coaching class or test series for PSIR.

Hi, from where can we get IGNOU booklets?

u can register here
http://www.egyankosh.ac.in/password-login

or download from mrunal.
read only the syllabus mentioned topics.
the scholar quoted in the ignou booklet (very few) just google them and read the context .
I will suggest to read from hard copy and make notes on margin (it will cost ard 1000 i feel ).
