FAQ: Download Powerpoint slides?

Q1. Where can I download PowerPoint slides of your lecture?

Ans. PowerPoint Slides: https://files.secureserver.net/0fzRqIv71qNX5Q

Q2. What about the videos of remaining chapters?

Ans. Next three lectures, next week and given the fact that It takes ~6 hours for me to upload one lecture (3 parts) videos, So with God willing, by 3-4 August, I should be able to upload all the lectures.

Q3. Will you publish “text” articles or not?

Ans.

1. Yes certainly. But it takes time to gather background data, policies etc. These videos are meant to serve as stop gap arrangement until that work is finished. In these videos, I’ve tried to prioritize all the MCQ worthy fact/feature/data first for prelims.
2. Those who cannot watch videos due to internet data limit, ATLEAST download the Powerpoint slides click me.
3. In the “text-article” I aim to combine both MCQ + descriptive points, so it’ll take time. If Survey had come in February 2014, I could’ve processed the data more peacefully before prelims.

Q4. What about Chapter 4: prices and monetary  Management?

Ans. Will cover it with respective topics for example, Urjit done in Ch5, food inflation in agriculture chapter, RESIDEX in chapter13 and so on.
