Waiting for geography…
Sir please update if you’d be giving articles on economic survey + budget? Or we should watch the lectures only? It’d be helpful in adjusting the strategy for CAPF and UPSC prelims.
hello sir….i had filled up my form for civil services prelims exam. I have completed both the phases of registration and got the print out for the same. UPSC notified me that i have successfully submitted it and i received a mail. But the very next day i have received a mail from upsc which says that i have not filled the part II and have not successfully submitted the form. Now when i log in with my registration id and try finding my mistake if any to complete and submit the form it is being said that my form is complete. Am worried. Please help.
Dear friend, I think you have successfully submitted Part-II registration also.You got that message because some technical problem with UPSC server.anyway please check your registration status by going to the page of part-II registration in UPSC online site,and enter your id,its shows present status that “you have already submitted part-II”.All the best for CSE.
whenever i type in my reg. id along with my date of birth it is being shown that part II registration is already complete and i have an option to view/ print application….so shall i consider it to be submitted??
hello sir…..reply to the above mentioned query is awaited.
Solution 1: Re again register from beginning once to avoid confusion and ur all effort and preparation will in water
Solution2: Had u registration number? if, then please go to part 11 step and proceed accordingly as shown
Solution 3: call to UPSC desk help cell, he can guide u better than us

Thnx
Geography lecture is already updated. Go to Munral Sir’s page of youtube.
Sir please csat english ke tayari ke liye koi advice dijiye
Mrunal sir ,
Your effort is really appreciating but along with vedio lecture plz provide pdf files of same lecture rather than synopsis of that lecture .That wll be more valuable and easy to revise and memorise that in print form.
mrunal sir , pls update economy survey and budget articles…many of our friends are from tamilnadu particularly chennai circles preparing for civilservice.. for us lecture in hindi s difficult .. we egarly waiting for ur articles from jan please do favour in updating soon as possible…
Sir please notify about summary of economic survey,whether it will be in form of lectures or written material.The lectures from revision point of view are very time consuming in comparison to written material.
the work is certainly very good but problem is i am not getting the powerpoint presentation of any of your lecture……..i follow the link every time and get the response “the folder is empty”……….youtube video is not possible (for me) to download. Please help. May be you have changed the way of presenting the study material………….last year it was like detailed information in a complete write-up including pros and cons and etc………i followed it extensively and it was very benificial too……i remember the terms like Chidu,Rajan,Lord Curzon , photograps of movies in animated and innovative style………..but this time ,a three hour lecture, divided into subparts, just mentioning of impotant points in the write-up in one line, a PPT and a youtube link, and that ppt link is not working too…………..if there is another alternative method to reach those PPTs then please tell me, it would be immensely helpful. Otherwise, for each point and sub-points, I will have to google it, which would be cumbersome……………..pichhli dfa aisa bilkul nahi tha, I found all the stuff at one place.
Also, your article section, I request you to update it……..abhi bhi uspe bahut kuch puraane articles hain.
Awesome videos. Sir i (from south) didnot know hindi much before i used to watch these videos. I am so much addicted to your classes, i find it a cake walk to listen and digest hindi classes. kudos to your concerns ! I call it a revolution, as far as those who could not afford to join costly coaching classes are concerned. Looking forward that geography classes would be resumed as soon as possible. Mrunal sir your initiative would definitely reflect in results of upcoming exams.Thank a lot :)
Sir we would like to watch videos of other subjects also, if you are willing to post them here in your website, someone rightly called it treasure trove. Thank you :)
how can i download all yours teaching videos ??? please reply
Mrunal g..YouTube channel pr aapke videos ka invalid source Bata raha h… Aisa q??
