This is why we do not just cover mapping facts in Mapping Mangalwar. We also cover concepts and associated fun facts! :)

Have made a list of how many GS1 questions GEOGRAPHY have been covered by me wholly or partly across SarrthiIAS classes/Youtube/My book. I do not claim to have to covered the questions ad verbatim, but the themes have been touched upon. If you would have done answer writing properly, and learnt the art of assimilation of thoughts (as we did in MAPS initiative), things would have been comfortable. However, do note, that the situation in the exam hall is very different and even an easier paper might feel difficult, or hard to complete. :)
