    Don't join Aditya mongra .. he only knows thinkers.or paper 1 will take 2 or more months. Then will ask some other unknown teachers to teach few(very few) topics only n for rest u have to Mage own ur own even for paper 1.. he is very sweet on words.. but trust me guys n girls don't join him . My batch mates r crying the way he finished(not completed ) the syllabus. There is big diy between completing n finishing.
  • guys please tell me about upendra sir classes for sociology .
    dear i would request you to take a demo of Aditya Mongras sociology classes and then feel the difference which i felt after his orientation class.....he doesnot provide for demo but still request him for the same....best wishes
    Don't join Aditya Mongra.. otherwise u will also regret..
  • @tipusultan

    Only thinkers wala chapter hi padhaayenge vo theek se .. even paper 1 bhi complete ni karenge .. n whole paper 2 or your will be littered.. just as happened for the last 3 batches of which I was also a student of one of them .. last 3 batches se my frnds were students in Aditya Mongra .. he did same thing will all .. Don't join Aditya Mongra.. otherwise u will also regret..

    Don't join Aditya,nuke 1 ya 2 week key baad per week only 2 out of 5 classes hoti h.Wo 5 me se 3 min chutti lenge agar tumhaari kismat acchi rahi to nahi to 1 classes hi hogi . Don't trust that chaashni se bhari Ba'athe.
  • People who want to switch to sociology...plz consider following points before switching:

    The best part abt sociology is that generally u would get average marks if not very high....so it might not get u a rank but can still make it to the list....however this was valid till 2015...from 2016 onwards u need to score very high /high in optional in order to make it to the list...and it is where is was found lacking...m and lot of socio frnds could not even make it to interview stage just bcz of socio this year...so decision is urs if u want to switch to sociology.....
    Plus socio is very dynamic and most of the time its very hard to to bring sociological perspective in every general questions that comes in the paper and people end up writing general studies answers in that questions....
    There are no standard books for paper 2 of sociology and this optional is not short as it looks...and it would require inter disciplinary approach establishing sociology relations with other social sciences like exonomy,history.....
    Btw it would help u in essay and social section of GS paper 1 though.....
