मृणाल सर …. आपकी मेंस रिविज़न क्लास कब चलेगी। सर हमारे जैसे बहुत सारे लोग दिल्ली नहीं जा पाते हैं, और मुख्यतः आपके लेक्चर के भरोसे व अपनी सेल्फ स्टडी के बल पर ही आगे बढ्ने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं, ऐसे मे आपकी लेक्चर अगर अंतिम दिनों मे आएगी तो हम लोग को उसका कितना फायदा उठा पाएंगे, यह आप भी समझ सकते हैं। दिन मे कई बार आपके वेबसाइट खोलकर देखता हूँ, की अब तो आ ही गया होगा। पर अफसोस। सर प्लीज कम से कम कोई तारीख बता दीजिये की इस दिन अपलोड करेंगे।
Where is your exam center ?
Dear sir,
Only 12/11 days are left. Please upload remaining videos of world history and economics
हिंदी प्रश्नपत्र: निम्नलिखित मुहावरे का प्रयोग वाक्य में करें “अब पछताये क्या होत जब चिड़ियाँ चुग गई खेत”
मरुणाल सर ने विडियो अपलोड करने में इतनी देर कर दी की हमारा अधिकारी बनने का सपना अधुरा ही रह गया लेकिन अब पछताए क्या होत जब चिड़ियाँ चुग गईं खेत।
It is something that really needs critical evaluation …..-”The success of prelims. series of Mrunal has been applauded by various sections of students yet the delay in the mains series has resulted in the wastage of entire effort because qualifying pre. is just a baby step in the journey of a civil services aspirant, which is rendered irrelevant , if not complemented by success in mains ”….Critically analyse this statement.
