Hi mrunal . do you have last 33 years exam papers of history ? have you compiled them, yet ? pls upload. if not. can you please complile them. i am really in need of them coz, it will help me a lot
Just what I came online for!! Thank you Mr.Mrunal , two questions just out of curiosity :
1. Are you also preparing for CSAT 2013 ?
2. Are you Lazylord on iaskracker.com ?
SIR ..I want to ask that for a year full prepration ..one has to cover Yojana,kurukshetra,,and other magazines..but starting From which month..and upto which month. thanks
All the toppers suggest to read magazines starting from atleast one year before you attempt prelims. So if you are preparing for CSAT 2013, you must read from May 2012 – May 2013 atleast.
if you’re appearing in 2013 then start from Jan-2012′s issues.
thank a lot :)
Bhaiyaji for people like me,who r following Competition wizard monthly magazine,is it necessary to read Frontline also ?
I am unable to access these links. And the same is not available in Google cache too. Please help.
Hi..I too faced the same problem..So i changed my IP Address of any other country through some proxy switchers.Then i was able to access.Then i was able to download frontline
sir plz provide us the pdf of chronicle magazine if available
Frontline is too exhaustive but good fodder for essays. Could you let us know what are the important sections to touch upon and if we read frontline and a newspaper (Hindu), is it required to read any other magazine like yojana, etc, considering the time constraints.
Thanks!
Hi..I too faced the same problem..So i changed my IP Address of any other country through some proxy switchers.Then i was able to access.Then i was able to download frontline :-)

sir please send me the ACIO grade II question paper sir…… coming sunday there is exam… so please send quickly
Hi frnds, qstn paper wil be about 150 marks only & interview for 100 marks, total 250 marks..,
