I know, that's why I stopped appearing for papers, felt like I know nothing. She publicly criticises you if you have got something wrong or misinterpreted things. Some say these marks (given by her) doesn't reflect exactly in mains, few excelling here failed miserably in mains.
Not sure of the number coz UPSC annual report also lacks the info but my guess will be 350-400 in mains. There were only 8 people in Hyd out of 1000 in my center last year.
It is not a much sought after optional, and the vastness and depth scares people. Also with only 1 to choose, it is left out.
Final result, last time had been a little bad. Indifferent treatment can be on reason that can be attributed.
Regd, PSIR Shubra's tests, you say people wrote those answers and got 140s in 3hrs time limit alone. Anyways I felt most qns were asked from what she taught in the class notes. I got my hand on them, 2013 Aug batch and most are direct. Classroom people do have an advantage there.
@Thor yeah the questions asked are directly from notes. Dont know about other toppers but the guy who scored 135 in 6th test is a friend of mine and we wrote the tests sitting beside each other in the exam hall.I am not her classroom guy but he was.
i got 125 in it but i think she gives marks way more liberally than the actual upsc.(Upsc will give half of the marks shubhra gives).
BTW, did u attended her? or have u joined her test series program?
Syllabus: Paper - I Section A: Political Theory and Indian Politics Chapters 2 & 6: 2. Theories of the State: 1) Liberal, 2) Neo-liberal, 3) Marxist, 4) Pluralist, 5) Post-Colonial 6) and Feminist.
6. Political ideologies: 1) Liberalism, 2) Socialism, 3) Marxism, 4) Fascism, 5) Gandhism 6) and Feminism.
If one covers the 6th Chapter of Ideologies which is vast, will it even suffice for Chapter 2 ??
If not completely, at least for the below, Liberal - Liberalism ? Marxist - Marxism ? Feminist - Feminism?
The marxists have analysed the process of colonisation since 16th century that led to an interdependent world. American sociologist and political thinker Andre Gunder Frank supports some of the marxist views and gave the concept of "dependency theory. "
Frank advocates that the process of colonisation followed by the present process of capitalism has led to underdeveloped states, also known as the Third World. It is not the lack of development in the third world countries, rather it is development of some countries at the cost of rest. During colonisation, these countries were made to give out natural and other resources and were converted into markets for the industrial states.
Frank also supports his argument by giving the concept of the "Development of the underdevelopment".
Marxist thinker Immanuel Wallerstien mentions the international trade scenario as a deeply ineqitable trade. The "world system" created by the process of colonisation still persists.
Marxists view the present international order as a dependent order. The third world has been dependent on the developed countries for technology, and other resources.

I have not joined her test series and also not part of classroom. I got notes from a guy who attended her coaching classes.
After seeing the paper, I realised that she asks from what she taught. Even vision, synergy for their gs papers do the same.
But upsc is a different ball game all together. I am eagerly waiting for PSIR papers this time.
