IASbaba's Flagship Course: Integrated Learning Programme (ILP) - 2024 Read Details
Hello Friends
So, here we are with the very 1st Day of 60 Days Plan. Let us pledge to make it a game changer in the next 60 days!
The importance of this initiative stands time bound and aggressive reverse engineering to learn the concepts. Many of you must be busy with your own strategy but let us tell you honestly that in the last two months, it is very important to revise and consolidate your learning. Just reading won't suffice.
So, take out few hours from your schedule and make it a revision exercise.
How you can make the best use of it?
Be honest to your effort and do not start competing with XYZ aspirants here just for the sake of marks. It is more important for you to introspect and check your learning than focusing on others. Try to answer the questions in 20 minutes only.
Do not get into negative feeling that I don't have enough knowledge to answer these questions. Feel like you are taking the real exam. What would be your response then?
The same will be replicated in UPSC exam. Here, you get marks only and nothing else matters. So make effort to know the answers of all questions.
Don't cheat with wiki/xyz....
Kindly Note
We won't publish the solution the very day. Let you solve these questions with full honesty and write your result in the comment box with actual time taken. Interact with peers to know your mistakes. Try to hold your nerves and learn to control the temptation. This is very important art to learn and implement!
Solution will be activated the next day.
But make sure you check the solutions of all the next day.
P.S- People who score 20 (2 marks for each question) and above get a salute from IASbaba :)
