  • Environment k lie ncerts(chem,bio) karne ki zarurt hai ya shankar will suffice?
  • What are the sources to be covered for ecology and environment- for Prelims and Mains point of view? Are we supposed to read Shankrias book on environment cover to cover?
  • Mai Maafi maangta hun, par woh Buy/Sell wala thread kaha gaye :( I have to sell my guitar!

    Yes Yes. I have a badass Epiphone Acoustic Guitar(Black). I won't be selling it if I wasn't moving out of my home. Price is Rs.3500(I bought it for Rs. 9000 in 2013). But we can negotiate :)

    P.S: Fir maafi maangta hun :(
  • How to cover the following part of GS1 Geography:

    Distribution of key natural resources across the world (including South Asia and the Indian subcontinent);
    factors responsible for the location of primary, secondary, and tertiary sector industries in various parts of the world (including India)
    @Yo_Yo_Choti_Singh
    Pablo bhai, aapne mujhse pucha nai tha, par fir bhi I can answer. My recommendation is Mrunal for this. He has extensively covered what all is needed. Just make 1 page notes of each natural resource he has given. Uss se bahar kuch nai aata.

    @RasAlGhul for pre and mains both ???
  • As someone pointed out here that for prelims apart from Standard books and newspaper (including current affairs magazine) something more needs to be read... Can anyone please pin point what are those fringe areas/ topics that needs extra reading...
    I will suggest reading Paramount ssc cgl notes (handwritten class notes especially in hindi if u can read bilingually) + Lucent gk book (ancient+medieval+biology portion only). Each year upsc asking 2 3 highly factual stuff which most people leave .. if u get those correct that's pure edge.. cumulatively I found those high on input vs output ratio.. also once read and revised they will benefit u in all the other exams of country in future.. just a personal opinion ! :)
  • Environment k lie ncerts(chem,bio) karne ki zarurt hai ya shankar will suffice?
    Just glance over once for topic understanding.. Otherwise shanker is good enough. Better to read ias4sure and forum or shanker environment capsule/ pdf which come just before prelims each year (2017/2018 leke pd daalo or notes bna k rkh lo.. next will be 80% same) .. I feel that will benefit u more in cost benefits term ! :)

    +1

    Also vision ki test series k answers lelo 2 3 saal k.. unme se is topic se related jo bhi questions cum model answers ho wo nikal k compile krlo ek jagah hard copy m.. that's more than sufficient IMO !

    Bahot hi shukriya esp for being specific.. Most people go vague while suggesting sources..
