Rename them to L5
Sir ,pls upload the lecture related to budget and economic survey 2015
can these video lecture be in English?
I find these lecture videos most useful despite myself being not versed in Hindi. Even though i dont enjoy better net speed I strongly urge mrunal sir to keep up this new format. Because- articles take lot time not only to compile but also for readers, hence lot of time saved, much needed on the verge of prelims. And secondly people like me who hail from south and trying to learn some hindi would also benefit. :p dont bother if you dont have better net speed, use youtube video downloader, last night at around 100 or less kbps, i was able to download 4 videos in 2 or 3 hours, while i put it for downloading i was reading a news paper, later i enjoyed seamless videos.
Respected Sir,
I have appeared for the SSC CGL Tier-2 Examination 2014 Conducted on 12th April, 2015. I was not aware that there was instructions not to use correction fluid for correcting answers. I am worried that whether my OMR Sheet will be checked or not?
sailing in the same boat prashant. but ssc created an ambiguity by priniting on hall ticket that correcting fluid can be used. so if they reject our omr sheet lets fight. mail me on [email protected]
