“RAFTAAR” tag means

• Only HARDCORE UPSC-Prelims oriented preparation.
• PhD intellectualism will neither be taught, nor I’ll entertain such questions from students.
• If I do not teach a topic, it means it is either
• Topic Not important for exam – because 1) technical/BizGK 2) ball by ball commentary 3) PHD 4) Outdated for 2024-25 5) out of fashion in latest exam trend
• Topic Maybe little bit important, but poor cost benefit in terms of amount of time invested to learn it versus the probability of getting asked in real Prelims.
• Topic Maybe important for Mains but not for prelims
• Topic is still in the nascent / developing stage, and I’m waiting for the next budget and economic survey or govt / parliament / courts to give the final verdict about it.

Economy-PCB9-RAFTAAR-PRELIMS ONLY Course Philosophy

Note: You don’t have to pay extra for any course. All of them embedded within your subscription just like Netflix.

FAQ1: You are launching the Mains Course very late. I will not get enough time for revision!

Ans. Economy for Mains is not that big. UPSC asks questions mostly centred around the reparative themes of GDP, Inflation, Unemployment, Inclusive Growth etc. which is not more than 10-15 lectures worth maal. Nonetheless, if you are in hurry to finish it, then go through the previous recorded course  QEP2.

FAQ2: Why have you kept microeconomics separately?

Ans. In last 12 years only two MCQ have been asked. YET, it requires minimum 5 hours of lecture video and 20-30 pages worth of handout. It breaks the speed / ‘raftaar’ for Prelims syllabus completition. So kept it separate. You’ve two options- 1) check recorded course of 2023-May or 2) wait for next microeconomics course probably in 2024-May.

In May-2022, if you have time, go through it, if you want to take risk of skipping it- to finish other subjects, then it is your decision.
