Would 2 years of PD n CSR be enough for current affairs ...
Secondly i am a bit lost when it comes to newspapers .. i brush up newspapers daily as habit since my childhood but am a bit confused on how to streamline it and channelize my time n energy to put the newspaper reading to good use in cracking GS.. ? If i assume that i would be making a serious attempt at next year CSAT .. then what should be the methodology behind using newspapers ? Do i need to make notes ? will paper cuttings do ? and while making notes ... do i need to write as much as possible..or just the imp points.. like when any event happened.. who were the parties involved.. what was the reason etc ... as such ... n like PD n CSR ..how many months of newspaper preparation is required .. 24 months would be fine ?
Sorry for the long post ...but i am quite confused as to how to start the preparation .. i know i will be able to grasp the optionals ... but GS is my nemesis.. so i need as much help i need on this..
thanks ...
