Some important points common across all papers
  • Note making and Revision: I made all my notes on Evernote for easy compilation of points and revision. Apart from my main notes, I made short notes a few weeks before mains for multiple revisions. This short notes is extremely concise and often a whole GS paper short notes would be no more than 3 or 4 pages. Image below for illustration.


  • Committee Reports: I quoted recommendations of committees in "Way Forward". You can find my compilation from current affairs here.
  • Diagrams: Practice drawing a quick map of India and World - can be used across papers. Also develop methods to create simple line diagrams for better representation. Something as shown below.

  • NITI Aayog Reports: I did not find them as readable as Economic Survey and were repetitive at most parts. Nevertheless, you can find my notes here.
  • Other Value addition: ARC report from summary available online. You can choose anything, but I read the one by Amarkesh Sir. Other useful sources are Economic Survey, Budget, Schemes, Stats etc.
  • Time Management: Initially I faced a lot of difficulty finishing the paper. Writing timed tests and more revisions can help.

    It is great that you made use of tools like Evernote to organize your notes and make revision easier. Committee reports and NITI Aayog reports can also be useful sources of information for exams. Diagrams can also be a helpful tool for explaining complex concepts or data. Time management is also an important aspect of preparing for exams, and practicing writing timed tests can help you improve your speed and efficiency.

    One of the key advantages of an online crash course for UPSC Essay Classes is the comprehensive coverage of the syllabus. Reputed coaching institutes and online platforms offer well-structured courses that encompass all the important topics and concepts relevant to the ethics paper. These courses aim to equip you with a strong foundation in ethical theories, values, and moral principles, while also focusing on case studies and current ethical issues.

Sociology

Sociology can be an overwhelming subject for beginners. Especially for those from non-humanities background. I faced something similar when I realized in my coaching classes for the first time that Sociology itself can be defined in many different ways.

My approach I had enrolled for coaching at Vajiram for Sociology. It was good to begin with as it made me well acquainted with the basic terms and concepts. But that's about it. Rest of the work was done by myself. I made my own notes from multiple sources, wrote answers for previous years questions, gave several tests before the exam day.
