GS 2 Approach

I made elaborate notes for GS2 mainly while reading current affairs. Right before mains I also made short notes to quickly revise important articles, judgments and other facts useful in answers. Please find links to my notes and sources below.

Subject

My notes
Polity
  1. Laxmikant (my amazing friend Veda had the rare art of making short notes. Her notes of Laxmikant enabled me to revise it countless times)
  2. Current Affairs
  3. Vajiram Notes (optional, basic stuff)
Governance
Vision IAS material

International Relations
Current Affairs - I made notes for each country / region separately

Apart from this, my friend Dhiman and I made short notes of Vision IAS Mains 365 - just to be able to revise it quickly before mains. It was useful but also time consuming. You can find our notes here.
