FAQ
Q. Have you opened your own “coaching factory” in Delhi?
Ans. No, this is being done at SPIPA, Ahmedabad. It’s a Gujarat government organization that runs classes. There are similar bodies by Maharashtra and Tamilnadu government too.
Q. Where can I download PowerPoint slides of your lecture?
Ans. https://files.secureserver.net/0fzRqIv71qNX5Q
Q. What about the videos of remaining chapters?
Ans. Next lecture is on 22nd Tuesday. So with God willing, by Wednesday I should be able to upload the next batch of videos.
Q. Will you publish “text” articles or not?
Ans. Yes certainly.
Economic survey has importance in both Prelims and Mains. If this budget -survey had came in February itself then I’d have gotten sufficient time to cover both angles at once before prelims.
But at this junction, If i try to cover both simultenously then exam will be over before article series is over!
Therefore, in these videos, I’ve tried to priorities all the MCQ worthy points. In the “text-article” I aim to combine both MCQ worthy points + mains-descriptive points, so it’ll take time.


written format would be great sir..
it takes lesser time to go through written format than listening to the lecture..
Thank you sir.. Couldn’t understand Hindi.. As of now slides Will help us.. Waiting for your English articles..
great work sir i m very happy to see the lecture in hindi
Thanq…. Please come up with English version it’s easy to go through the written version rather than listening to lecture

For RBI grade B, Do we need to look at interim budget or latest budget by BJP?
Expecting your English text format article before prelims…

@vhanmathi: He will be uploading articles on economic survey as well. So wait for it. I think people are already frustrated with chances of delay of prelims due to this language question. And yes everyone doesnt need to know hindi. There are 22 official languages. Village south india mein bhi hain..wahan koi hindi nahi bolta..pehle ias sab ban jaye..fir cadre allot ho..aur jis state mein jao wahan ka language seekh lena.. is yudh ka koi ant nahi..
You know english very well my friend but some who can’t understand the language properly that’s y they comment about it why r u hypering? let them ask there problems to mrunal sir why u raise your hand between them

Sir,
I regularly follow your posts and all articles are very useful.
But seeing these videos makes me understand the topic even better.
I would request you to keep posting such videos in the future as well.
And, in the first video, sir, you mentioned about lectures on Fed tapering you had already delivered. If there are any such previous videos on tapering or otherwise, kindly post them please.
Many thanks. Looking forward to your future lecture videos
i have downloaded the ppts but where can i find the lecture part of PPT’s
in videos
your language and content are so lucid that make me feel like u r putting your feet in our shoes. Books have many things to tell but what we need is ‘not so many twisted and ornamental languages, only the core of issue with background detail. And i strongly happy with your approach. But is your content authenticate and by following u i am in right direction? I dnt want to fail one more time in PT itself. Plz reply.
Please teach in English sir ..
thanks a tonn…
