Let's meet a day before New year's Eve!


Agenda:

1. Continue with GS1: History syllabus analysis+PYQs

2. Discuss my insights on what might have worked for me in IFoS Mains- (because it's easy to retrofit and make a narrative after the marksheet) and how those insights can help you in CSE(most of these exams need the same skillset).

3. I'll do some live evaluation as always, of some of my older answers.

4. Take doubts if any, based on the videos I'm posting on Prelims/CSAT/Mains exclusive topics or general queries.

Let me know if you have any more queries based on your study sessions from last week.

All 6 videos in the course uploaded.

Description box has all the material that had to be shared.

Note: I mistakenly say in the 6th video that it is the second last video thinking that I have to analyse 17PDFs.

I later realise that those 17 essays are distributed over 11PDFs and not 17.

6th video is indeed the final and concluding video of the series.

Happy learning!
