For hindi medium, moomal, chronology, newspaper etc.

Note: I have referred springboard notes during my preparation. For better understanding of a topic, you too can refer notes of any prestigious coaching.

Some points:
1. Mains & prelims booklist is almost same but the demand is to be more analytical. Facts to be given according to demand of the question.
2. Make 2 markers comprehensive, facts are important in such questions. 
3. Read each & every question carefully, 'one answer fits all' approach must be avoided.
4. Jack of all trades and master of none is most apt for this examination.
For strategy & booklist, don't follow anyone blindly, try to create your own.

Edit:- Wherever I have written "notes", it means springboard+self made notes.

      Thank you ma'am for the prompt response. Even I've gone through Nitin Singhania, but still not able to solve PYQs of this part. And not only Nitin Singhania even NCERT, TN history books are not of much help in this part. If you can spare some time please check if PYQs can be solved through your notes!!

      I haven't preferred making notes. What you can do is to make notes of those topics or sub-topics which you can't remember. Take base of coaching notes and update the information is another way.
      Mains generally takes place in 2.5-3 months. In worst case, can't say anything

      Friends in the coaching can assist you in getting your answers checked and give their opinions. But nhi bante toh aisa nhi hai ki kuch miss kr doge. Not necessary at all.

      Solve them at home.
      Yes you can definitely Crack it..get model ans key and check your answers.
      अपने विवेक से उत्तर मूल्यांकन करने की कोशिश करें।
      Springboard notes plus some books plus any one newspaper or magazine which I have mentioned on my channel.

Journey through 2022

  It's, 2022 and just entered a phase called "public service". Yeah, as the name suggests "in the service of public". So, it has lot to do with the people. It all started with a 'tutoring project' on 'how', 'when', 'why' and 'what'. 'How' here meant the way of dealing with things we encounter, 'when' means the right time to deal so that benefit penetrates to the last person(antyodaya), 'why' states the reason to reach out to deprived and needy and 'what' means the benefit itself. This 'tutoring project' or training has held at HCM, RIPA(The training institute for premier services of Rajasthan). Many learnings came across my path directly and indirectly. Many new, young and ignited brains paved my way. People woth similar interests were introduced. First of all, a brick was laid through foundation course with multiple services learning and practising coordination together, giving t...
