Sub:regarding the availability of handwritten class notes of Mukul sir (for psychology)
Hello all Iv tried at Jawahar Book Depot... what he has to offer is the printed material of sir.(I went all the way from Kamla nagar(north))
And the class notes he has , contain jumbled up pages all over.(like personality topics in aviation) I wrote the mains last time without sir's notes and I dont want to repeat that again...so please help me find anyone who can provide me sir's class notes.(I'v tried all shops of north area also but they dont have handwritten class notes,rather the printed material)
i also need handwritten psychology class notes of Mukul sir's . can somebody please please help...i am from hyderabad... i have asked many book stores here but no use.... please help....
Imran, you can opt mathematics only if you have done it at graduation level somehow. Such as in your engineering course, otherwise it would be difficult to score good marks in mathematics with at least 6 monts extensive study.
I am having mathematics as my first optional so telling you that by my experience
how much money does it take to prepare in delhi?i mean to ask lodging food etc?and how easy or tough it is to stay there?moreover does it get stressful to be at ur room the whole day in case u r finished with ur coaching and all and preparing on ur own?
@Sudhir Khanger Hie Sudhir, I can understand the dilemma of choosing the right optionals, I went through it and finally decided on Psychology and English Literature. Its a tough job to take up literature because there is no help available, no coaching, no good notes, no help on the net either, all that is there is a set of notes by some Bharat Tutorials that I got from Jawahar book shop. I still haven't been able to start with the English prep.
If someone here with English as the optional could share his/her experience or guide a bit, it would really be very kind.
If any of you is taking economics as an optional, can you pls ping me? Need some help in getting the notes and would also help to connect to someone else who is preparing for the same

I have come across this e-book site, which may help for preparation.. For eg.. see this http://avaxhome.ws/ebooks/Politics_Sociology/Encyclopedi_litics.html..
Also there are lots of books on global issues , routledge series of Key concepts which are on topics like politics,economics,key thinkers in psychology,sociology,philosophy and many more.. You could also find magazines like The economist, Time, Wallstreet journal etc..
I hope I have also helped you fellas.. Thanks to Shubra di.. Good luck..
krishna knowledge tresury chennai has mukhul pathak sirs note... costs some 950 i think.... am not sure of the credibility whether its the real pathak sirs notes or not. but i have it, its good.
Handwritten.Handwriting good. I dont know whether any pages are missing or not because am in the process of prepartion. just finished first chapter alone.
Thanks Alok for you valuable comments abt Maths. As u have mentioned u too have pub ad as ur 2nd option. I have just begun with my prep and want to go ahead with self study.Will self study cost me on my prep(pub ad)?i stay in Pune otherwise we could form a gud study grp in Jiya Sarai. Guys, Please suggest on Psychology as a second option....
I have a small issue eating away my brain.Actually I have completed my masters and presently I am in US still searching for a job.I expressed my intentions to prepare for civils with my sister and brotehr-in-law.But my brother-in-law outrightly said to drop the plan and stay back in US and try for a software job.The reason he gave for asking me to drop Civils Plan was that one has to have a plan of civils right from the first year of their bachelors.Thats the reason he was asking me to drop the idea.He may be right but as far as my knowledge it`s not the case of every one .What do you guys say about this ?Hope some of you might have the faced the same situation.So thought of asking someone like you.
I have done my bachelors in EEE and my masters in Computer Science.But I am planning to take PA and 1 more subject in Civils.If any one of you guys have a similar plans like me please do suggest me.
If anyone in this blog are in US ,Please suggest me friends.Its not just that the market thats driving me back to India.Somehow I didn`t find anything interesting in US.
How r u preparing forpublic administration ?I mean how are you starting,what are you following?do you have any previous knowledge of PA in your bachelors?

Found it in a magazine as a comment. May be it will help us.
Respected sir,
I have been in Delhi in the educational field. I live in Delhi. My children are interested in this line of career. I did some research in the coaching for the Civil Services in English medium. Here is my finding. U need not reinvent the wheel.
Sociology: Upendra Geography: Alok Ranjan Psychology: Mukul sir GS: Sriram's has the best faculty( Vajiram is a propaganda-driven tutorial- irrelevant information dump) Pub admn: please do not join any place. All abysmally low standards. Whole India is waiting to cheat you! tread cautiously) Physics: Vajpayee
As a parent i want all children to be educated well and get value for money.
I need your help related to OBC age relaxation for Civil service exams.
Currently, I am working with one of the Big 4's and will be appearing for 2010 exams as OBC candidate. Since I have crossed the maximum age limit prescribed for General category candidate, hence I will be as an OBC candidate. I have an OBC certificate, but am confused whether UPSC also has an requirements for creamy layer, as I have gone through last years UPSC notification for civil service, but have found no info on that, except that the candidate should posses an OBC certificate to claim age relaxation.
Please revert, as I am taking transfer to Delhi in coming months for civil preparation.
If any of you are taking Geography as optional, can you please suggest the books to be referred for mains as I cannot go to Delhi for coaching. Also it would be of great help if you can suggest some important topics to be concentrted more.
@ shaveta.s You are true. There is almost no information available for English Literature as an optional. On the other hand most of the people discourage to take this optional.
@ Do any of you guys read Economic Times? What do you think about it?
Hi mam i'm appearing in the mains this year an want to know that is there any scope for the intensive selected studies in public admn. i dont have a full grasp of the subject.how should i proceed? Mubashar

Yudveer::Please read it.. Age limit : ================== 21 years must be completed on 1st August of the year, which a candidate is appearing. Maximum 30 for general category, 33 for OBCs and 35 for SCs/STs. Ex-servicemen will get 5 more years exemption from the prescribed age limit. (The date of birth accepted by the Commission is that entered in the Matriculation or Secondary School Leaving Certificate or in a certificate recognised by an Indian University as equivalent to Matriculation or in an extract from a Register of Matriculates maintained by a University, which extract must be certified by the proper authority of the University or in the Higher Secondary or an equivalent examination certificate). (iv) Number of Attempts: Four attempts for open, seven for OBCs and no limit for SCs/STs. If a person appears in the Preliminary Examination or even in one paper is counted as an attempt.
I wanted few suggestions from the fellow aspirants.
My first optional is Public Administration. I decided to join Nov batch Pub Ad classes being held at Synergy institute, Delhi.
Few days back i met Anuchit Sir (AIR 100), who suggested that Hyderabad is a better option for this subject. Can someone advice me as to which institute is best in the country for Pub Ad.
plz giv inputs regarding Braintree(hyderabad) and Synergy(delhi) .Which is better?
Is Braintree the best bet in Hyd?
I know that self study is more important,but coaching too plays a major role..
Friends, I earlier posted a query to Shubhra (in psychology tips blog)regarding venue of Mukul Pathak sir's psychology classes. She helped me with response that he teaches at Vajiram and Ravi. If i am right she is referring to famous 'Vajiram and Ravi' coaching near Old Rajinder Nagar market? Just wanted to confirm if there are many instructors for Psychology classes at Vajiram & Ravi or Mukul Sir is the only one taking all psychology classes there? If there are many..how to ensure that one gets enrolled in Mukul sir's classes? Thanks!
If anybody is taking Statistics as an optional then please contact me at pks.iitkgp@gmail.com........I need urgently need some help in this subject.......thanx a lot

ReplyDeletewhat's the size of the answer sheet provided by the UPSC for mains? It would be helpful if anyone could give the exact size.
ReplyDeleteFound it in a magazine as a comment. May be it will help us.
ReplyDeleteRespected sir,
I have been in Delhi in the educational field. I live in Delhi. My children are interested in this line of career. I did some research in the coaching for the Civil Services in English medium. Here is my finding. U need not reinvent the wheel.
Sociology: Upendra
Geography: Alok Ranjan
Psychology: Mukul sir
GS: Sriram's has the best faculty( Vajiram is a propaganda-driven tutorial- irrelevant information dump)
Pub admn: please do not join any place. All abysmally low standards. Whole India is waiting to cheat you! tread cautiously)
Physics: Vajpayee
As a parent i want all children to be educated well and get value for money.
Best wishes,
JM
hello madam,
ReplyDeleteyour attempt to get points on pub ad and socio is remarkable effort!
was wondering if that can be the case for geography and law as well.

Hi Shubra,
ReplyDeleteI need your help related to OBC age relaxation for Civil service exams.
Currently, I am working with one of the Big 4's and will be appearing for 2010 exams as OBC candidate. Since I have crossed the maximum age limit prescribed for General category candidate, hence I will be as an OBC candidate.
I have an OBC certificate, but am confused whether UPSC also has an requirements for creamy layer, as I have gone through last years UPSC notification for civil service, but have found no info on that, except that the candidate should posses an OBC certificate to claim age relaxation.
Please revert, as I am taking transfer to Delhi in coming months for civil preparation.
Thanks
Someone please help him with his query.
ReplyDeleteHi All,
ReplyDeleteIf any of you are taking Geography as optional, can you please suggest the books to be referred for mains as I cannot go to Delhi for coaching. Also it would be of great help if you can suggest some important topics to be concentrted more.
Thanks & Regards,
Pradepe S
@ shaveta.s You are true. There is almost no information available for English Literature as an optional. On the other hand most of the people discourage to take this optional.
ReplyDelete@ Do any of you guys read Economic Times? What do you think about it?
hello all
ReplyDeletemy optionals are geography(1) and mathematics(2).
please help me in getting right books for MECHANICS and FLUID DYNAMICS.

hello!!!
ReplyDeleteI wanted few suggestions from the fellow aspirants.
My first optional is Public Administration. I decided to join Nov batch Pub Ad classes being held at Synergy institute, Delhi.
Few days back i met Anuchit Sir (AIR 100), who suggested that Hyderabad is a better option for this subject.
Can someone advice me as to which institute is best in the country for Pub Ad.
plz giv inputs regarding Braintree(hyderabad) and Synergy(delhi) .Which is better?
Is Braintree the best bet in Hyd?
I know that self study is more important,but coaching too plays a major role..
Thanking you in advance,
Suhas Shivanna.

ReplyDeleteCan u please tell me where to find Mukul Pathak sir's Handwritten notes in Chennai...

Thanx a lot
Gauravi
Friends,
ReplyDeleteI earlier posted a query to Shubhra (in psychology tips blog)regarding venue of Mukul Pathak sir's psychology classes. She helped me with response that he teaches at Vajiram and Ravi. If i am right she is referring to famous 'Vajiram and Ravi' coaching near Old Rajinder Nagar market?
Just wanted to confirm if there are many instructors for Psychology classes at Vajiram & Ravi or Mukul Sir is the only one taking all psychology classes there?
If there are many..how to ensure that one gets enrolled in Mukul sir's classes?
Thanks!
