@ dexter- thanks friend, me also thinking to go for digital way, i did it earlier also, so have seen its benefits..handwritten notes becomes a headache during revision time- and for adding new things, if on loose sheets- easily misplaced 1 or 2 pages before D day..

@ orange black- tmh ke 2 options hain-one is reddy book, other is tmh manual part history portion..grover is old days book, students used to refer it earlier before spectrum, as it was used extensively in delhi university history courses..and other universities also, and selected pages na he karoh with so much time in hand, toh better hoga- is saal dekh he chuke hoge upsc pt ka paper, unless u working somewhere- then better hoga history notes of coaching-any one u can refer..benefits yeh hain-ke pt ke paper mei modern india ke questions solve kar paoge , woh bhi sahi sahi, iske alawa no other benefit

@ suraj- friend basham i wont advise unless ur optional history, just keep 1 source, revise multiple times..tmh or grover is full fledged book-not some summary..like tables at end of spectrum , used to be on tips of many aspirants- upsc stopped with it, or like associations asked or persons upsc used to ask like usha mehta-underground radio etc, are provided in list at end of spectrum or organisations at end of chapter religious and social movements with founders...

its just my advise, u may follow what u feel as right..

some e.gs- how upsc targeting few books for traditional part also- THESE ARE JUST EXAMPLES-NOT INTENDED TO DISCUSS ANSWERS OF THIS YEAR PT QUESTIONS- ONLY UPSC KEY CAN TELL CORRECT ANSWERS NEXT YEAR-

1. laxmikanth- still best book for polity, just see it with bare act while reading...how targeting- a. ask topics which are little philo related- law and liberty, last yr also they asked something like this..b. ask where laxmi focused on explaining part and not ' rattafication '- e.g-money bill- read it from laxmi first, and then read from bare act, then see this year question..

2. see sriram eco- one of finest books for static part of eco- see 2018 edition-which came this year start- chapter money market- page 111 top paragraph- on treasury bills- clearly stated-there are no treasury bills issued by State govt..now someone also quoted bare act article for same-that state can issue-with vajiram keys stating jharkhand eg


another thing which can be inferred from above is- that if upsc not targeting above sources- is that they are integrating current affairs in detail with static portion-like
a. jharkhand issuing it { not sure, whether they hv done it or not, but vaji saying it has }

b. barren island volcano-ncert given last erupted 1991, but in newspapers mentioned regularly last yr that it regularly erupting- since 2005, even in 2017 it erupted..

so what u derive from above is upto u, as it is ur exam and ur selection on the line..just consider such things before blindly following any coaching advise, like for best advice for mains- see nandini reply-just after mains 2017 or yo yo choti singh advice- one of best advices which have been given apart from newyan and dr king. suggestions

thanks brother so nicely you explained . maybe you are right about upsc,but then upsc has tendency to mark right answer from where it reads the fact and not by any book,this is what i believe (wo gypsum wala question )nevertheless i have completed spectrum once now grover is fine. somebody scoring 120+ this yr also suggested sAme book. he did also mention basham,he suggested wide study is required .but then you also right revision is the key

but what is bare act in which website ?

still completing optional- IR

in mng done- economic times and indian express- still to write summary of them- doubt over -whether to do it in Onenote or register

I will suggest you to make digital notes. I also made handwritten notes from newspaper initially for 1-1.5 months. But after sometime it becomes really difficult to search for a particular topic or edit/add new points.
If you want to do handwritten then do proper indexing, page no for topics something like this otherwise at later stage it will be difficult for you to search notes on a particular topic.

Which Digital software do you prefer for note making? Evernote requires Credit Card payment. I am vexed by all the PayPal and etc etc, options.
Do suggest some solution.

I use Evernote free version.
There is a basic account version of Evernote that is free of cost completely.
No need to pay anything, unless your notes are huge in size containing lots of images that will cross the monthly upload limit.

I used the free version, crossed the limit very soon. I like to use the "clipper" of evernote. Also, there are highlighting and other options available in paid version. Was thinking about the positives, but looks like a distant dream now.....:P
