Are IGNOU materials really beneficial for UPSC preparation? Where can I download them for free?

AU
Abhishek Upadhyay Posted On : October 20th, 2022
MA in Political Science, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU)

IGNOU course material is useful for preparation, but it is not of the highest quality in some subject areas. IGNOU Literature, Social Science, and Science stream books are excellent for preparing for the UPSC civil services examination, but Mathematics stream books are not.

You can get the books from IGNOU's official book archive, eGyankosh. Here, you must first create a login ID and password combination, and then click the "enter your search query" option in the website's search option for the desired search process.

However, there is a disadvantage in that on the eGyankosh website, chapter-by-chapter downloading options are available rather than whole-book downloading, which requires significantly more effort than usual.

I am pursuing MA economics from IGNOU. What are the books which we should follow?

HK
Harish Kumar Posted On : October 19th, 2022
Studies at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies UPES Dehradun

The study material provided by IGNOU is elaborate and more than enough. You don't really need books except for these 3 subjects:

MEC 001 Microeconomic Analysis: For the subject, you might need some extra notes. The best way is to google the topics. You can make notes on the numerical part especially. Usually, the numerical questions are the same as the previous years. Still, it is recommended that you don't skip the study material.

MEC 003 Quantitative Methods in Economics: For this subject, you can make the best use of YouTube videos. Also practising from the previous year's papers will prove to be very helpful.

MEC 105 Indian Economic Policy: The study material provided for this particular subject needs to be updated with the latest data and figures. So it's highly recommended that you prepare topic-wise notes after thorough study.

Ultimately focus on the syllabus whichever source you are referring to.

What should be the study plan to get into JBIMS?

TC
Tanuj Chandra Posted On : February 28th, 2023
Student Mentor at Catking

To gain admission into JBIMS, it is essential to possess more than just a study plan. A positive mindset, consistency, and speed are key to success.

JBIMS admission procedure is managed through DTE. For Maharashtra-based candidates, CET scores are accepted. There is a reservation for All India Seats, where one may apply through CAT, ATMA, or MAT. It is important to keep in mind that focusing on the JBIMS cutoff for CET or any other exam is not recommended, as the school is highly sought after and the intake for General Candidates is approximately 50. Therefore, aim to rank first in CET or any other exams accepted by JBIMS, as only the top 50 students are enrolled.

As for the study plan, it is imperative to have a strong grasp of basics and Vedic maths. The CET exam consists of 200 questions and has a duration of 150 minutes, equating to roughly 30-40 seconds per question. Therefore, it is crucial to be quick with calculations. A mentor should focus on speed and accuracy while preparing students for the exam.

  • Start by learning tables, squares, cubes, and formulas, and ensure to revise them weekly.
  • Take one mock CET exam, and analyze both your strong and weak sections.
  • Utilize the option to toggle between sections by attempting the section where you score better first, as this will boost confidence during the weaker sections.
  • Since there is no negative marking in CET, try to attempt as many questions as possible. Analyze your weaker areas and make a list of them.
  • Ensure a clear understanding of concepts for topics causing difficulties by solving 5-10 questions daily. This will increase comfort and scores.
  • Practice solving at least 10 abstract reasoning questions daily. This is the easiest and quickest section to clear, with 25 questions in CET based on abstract reasoning. With regular practice, this section can be cleared in 15 minutes with 95% accuracy.
  • In the Verbal section, focus on being clear with grammar and vocabulary, with the main emphasis on speed. Practice one RC daily and aim to solve it in under 5 minutes.
  • To improve speed in Quants and DI, learn Vedic Maths and shortcut tricks. Regularly revise formulas.
  • For LR, practice 5-10 questions daily and one question of Seating Arrangement and Puzzles each.
  • Continuously give sectional mocks to increase accuracy and once concepts have been completed, start taking full-length mocks. Analyze the first three mocks, set a strategy, and then focus on implementing it while solving all other available mocks. This will help improve speed, and accuracy, and build confidence.

By following these steps, one can effectively prepare for CET and gain admission into JBIMS.
