Mrunal bhai Aap par NAAZ hai aapki portal se main ghar main baithe prepare kar pa raha hu your great
Dear Mrunal Sir…. please suggest me whether to buy Indian Polity Laxmilkant 4th edition and Indian economy Ramesh singh 6th edition . I have Indian polity laxmikanth 3rd edition [already read it twice for my last 2 failed attempt..:-( ] and Indian economy Ramesh singh 5th edition (bought it last year and read few chapters ).. please sir suggest me bcoz I m planning to buy them ..
MI2015:
Laxmikanth new edition: a few new chapters added but nothing from sky. You can make better self-note from current events.
Ramesh Singh new edition: no need. Better prepare self-note from next budget, eco.survey.
Sir,
Can u please add subtitles to your youtube videos so that non-hindi speakers can also make use of it.. :D
Thanku sir DIL SE.
Thanks a lot sir ji ……….Thank you so much ….:)
I thank u sooooo much… thnku sir
like sachin z god for millions f ppl….mrunal sir…u also …….!!!!!!!!!! salute u!
thanks sir
If anyone has time please clear my doubt:
If M1+Post Office=M2 then why is M1 more liquid than M2 even if M2 has all the cash included in M1……is it liquidity percentage…….if my question is not making sense then please ignor….i m a newbie
Liquidity means how easily it is convertible to cash. M1 is more liquid than M2 because things included in M1 can more easily be converted to cash than post office savings. People and businesses generally go to banks and not post offices for their day to day transactions.
thanx aanya, bt i still hav some doubt…..but again UPSC is not going to ask us a research paper(we r not RAJAN BHAI) so memorising it will work fine…thanx again
thanks a lot…sir ji…..grand salute….

Hey, Indian forest services & IAS exams are different? I mean.. Both are on same day… Is there different syllabus? … :-o
Same exam , same syllabus and same question paper. If you want to give IAS and IFS both even then you have to give the exam only once on the same day. Short listing for mains exam for the same will be different. IfoS cut off goes higher because of low vacancies.
Oh, means we have to choose it before mains? so can’t we choose our priority like IAS>IPS>ifos…?
Thanks u very much sir for ur precious efforts
Thankyou sir with lots of respect..
