Exam pattern have changed.
I have appeared in this exam with two optional subjects. I had History and
Philosophy as optional. I got gud marks in philosophy so that I kept philosophy
as my optional subject in new pattern. I got two interview calls in old pattern
exam.
I could not get an
interview call in 2014.This was due to very less marks in Philosophy. It was
only 181 out of 500.With such a low marks in optional; I think no one can get
an interview call. I thought to change my optional. But I kept it. One of my
friend got 313 marks in philosophy and he got selected last year. I asked him
what have you written in exam. From where you read philosophy??
He told me that he
read notes of Nischay IAS Accademy’s Yaswant
Sir. I went delhi to get Sir’s notes.Unfortunately I could not find his notes in market.I searched
coaching in Mukhrjee Nagar.I found his coaching and met sir.Sir provided me his
notes and I attended contemporary and social political philosophy classes there
for four days.These classes and notes helped me a lot.I wrote some answers and
answers were checked by Sir.Sir gave me personal attention.I m very thankful to
him.
I wrote answers
comparing different philosophies. For example “What is ‘Dravya’ in Jain
Philosophy?”I wrote abt Dravya of Vaisheshik,Aristotle,Plato etc .I wrote
answers this time in such a way.I read philosophy notes of Drishti and
Patanjali also.I read Rammurti Pathak,B K Lal,Ved Prakash Verma books.I still don’t
know how much marks will get in Philosophy.But,I m expecting gud marks. After
mains examination,I was sure abt interview call.
Hope it will help you….
thanku very much

DeleteDidi, how is political science as an optional with hindi medium? Should i choose it or Hindi literature? What will u suggest?
ReplyDeleteIf we see success ratio,size of syllabus,study material and availability of guidance ,then Hindi literature is a Gud subject.But if u comfortable with political science then choose it...
DeleteHope it will help u to choose ur subject.
Thnx a lot..
DeleteMy intuition was also in favour of Hindi literature as it is a scoring subject. The only confusion was due to helping nature of psir in gs and interview. But i think Hindi Lit will be better.
Read ur interview.. u r marvellous.. expecting ur name in the starting page of result list.
Tnx a lot Ruchi....best of luck
