cheers
first of all you are doing a truly great job guiding us all
ReplyDeleteplease tell me about keeping the word limit in the long as well as short questions....also other than the list of books you gave ...do we need to follow any topic specific exhaustive lists like Thavaraj for financial administration, nicholas henry, stephen robbins etc...
will the books you have mentioned suffice...if so i would go by your words religiously
neha
congrats subhra for ur grand success.....could u suggest in public admn with which book one should begin with??????i also need some help in answer writting as i always feel problem in writting answer even if i know a lot abt dat particular thing.....on an average how much time one should devote daily to prepare for this exam??????
ReplyDeletehi shubhra....wana ask u 1 thng...m also in corporate sector....n didnt u find it difficult 2 prepare alng ur job?? hw did u manage?? can u suggest me reagardng dis??
ReplyDeletehi shubhra......I have a very general doubt which many students have........
ReplyDeleteThe books mentioned as standard texts for PUB AD (ex:mohit bhatta , sharma&sadana , prasad-2 , rajni goyal , etc,etc) , are to be read exhaustively ??
I mean these books have to be read from cover to cover or we have to do the job of extracting the topics relevant to UPSC-CSE ??
THANKS....
Hi Shubhra...
ReplyDeleteMy cousin Naveen also got 28th rank this yr... he will be your batch mate though he opted for IPS.
I appeared in prelims this yr & I have just one more attempt left as I will be 30 next yr. I started my preparation last yr. My first optional is Pub Ad. I want to know as some of topics can be left while preparing for mains, which topics wud be safe to leave. Kindly post the full strategy for mains & pre.
thanks!
Well, word limit has to be followed in short answers. Trynot to exceed 225 230 as it can cut your time for other answers and gives a negative eimpression. You can write 900 word ans for 60 markers.
ReplyDeleteI left my job in sep 2006 to study as i had very less time for 2007 prelims.
Nic Henry and stephen robbins have to be studied only for prelims not for mains.
For CPA, I studied prasad and prasad, and one spl book on CPA. I dont remember the authors. For dev adm I studied from many sources as new areas hv been added.
Don't study books from cover to cover except for laxmikanth, arora goel and mohit bhattacharya.
Guys Ignou books are avaialable online. Checkout www.egyankosh.ac.in/handle/123456789/2188. You need to register yourself to read the online content.
ReplyDeleteMam, Can you suggest what books we need to refer for Personeel administration and civil services

ReplyDeleten when it comes to pub admin i cant rely on nyone othr than u.
I have no idea about this book. Who's the writer?
ReplyDeletemaam the writers of the book are PRASAD KR NAYAK,DR S SEN and DR G.S MANSUKHANI.
ReplyDeletedo u have ny idea.?
No idea Rishu. It might be a new book. I haven't studied it. But I think you can also evaluate the book yourself. Go through the book and see if you are able to get a better perspective and understanding on topics.
ReplyDeletethank you maam....

ReplyDeleteDo the questions from previous Prelims exams get repeated in pub ad & gs exams?
yes, pub ad questions get repeated, but not in the exact format. GS questions can get repeated too, but not obviously, in a diff format maybe.

Whenever you have some doubts or lack of clarity in a topic, you can consult them as they are too detailed and cover a lot of aspects of any topic.
You can get IGNOU notes online at egyankosh

ReplyDeletemam, should i go through the 10 yr after finishing the chap.?
mam, as no one can guess the ques what they will ask in the paper.
as u choose 80-90 topics to make notes, wat was the criteria to choose them?
should i choose the topics which r repeatedly asked in 10 yr?
The criteria was frequency of the question appearing in q paper. Always have 10 yr q paper at hand for reference.

It will be of gr8 help if you can give a complete list of books for prelims, like you have given for mains.

Thankyou
Gaurav Shrivastava
@Ravs
ReplyDeletegiven in a separate post. I do not have any idea about arihant.
@Vaibhav

thankyou madam,
ReplyDeleteso can u please tell me which publisher question papers you used.
I had seen vishal prelims papers ,but only last 2 years papers were given in that one.
And Arihant papers are not available in the market currently. So i will buy some other but for that I should know the name of the publisher.
Please tell me the publisher.
Also tell about Mains papers.(just the publisher)

ReplyDeletei can start with basic books....is lakshmikanth needed for mains? also let me know if horizons of

2)is comparative public administration by ramesh arora to be followed selectively (by looking at previous years question papers
)
3)can u list all the topics for which i have to make notes from ignou
@coolblue
ReplyDeletelaxmikanth is mostly for prelims though some ppl refer it for some topics for mains as well.
2) yes..refer it selectively
Shubhra mam,
ReplyDeleteI have started my prepration for cse 2010 now in nov.( this is my first attempt and prep full time)
I would like to know whether 6 months time is sufficient for prelims and mains 2010.
I have gone through your blog and is very helpful and informative.
Thankyou for giving your guidance.
Harsha.
Hello Ma'am,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, CONGRATULATIONS!! for the selection and wish you all the best for your trg. and work that you ll take up after that.I got to know about your blog recently.
I have some doubts pertaining to my pub ad prep.
1) I have completed fadia & fadia for both ppr 1 & 2, supplemented ppr 2 by s r maheshwari and goyal. I had done some ignou notes also, though not all. So, i wanted to know is it necessary to solve all the questions in all the booklets of ignou notes, because in their personnel admin notes, the extent to which they have gotten into is tremendous, which i dnt think is in line with what is required for the exam preparation.
2) As for the coaching, I completely agree with ur viewpoint on the quality of edn provided by these money making institutions. Personally, i have tried notes of sytnergy, vajiram, crackias and didnt find them good. However, offlately, I have heard about "braintree" making a mark as a pub ad coaching institute and was thinking of buying their notes..do u hve ny knowledge bou them?? (But for sure, this will b my last tyrst with these institutes, after this I am nt gng to waste ma time and energy on them)
Thanking you.
