@[472297:coming2iim]: yaar may i know what your optionals are? coz if you have public ad then certainly i believe mohanty sir take one class in morning arnd 7. for abt 2.5 hrs. so i think atleast for 1 subject your dilemma can be solved by getting a regular coaching
hey thats grt...............i have pub ad............
will join............but i am more worried for GK-MY ENEMY 
bro i heard about both chankya n rau..........that their original owners left the country n now they r run by their workers so quality reduced a lottttttttttttt....
@[472297:coming2iim]: yaar on a lighter note upsc asks gs n not gk.
there is a lot off diffrnce btwn them.
n regarding it by the tym things odnt work out, ill suggest u start doing things on own. atlst build ur base, read newspapers, ncert from 7 to 10, magazines,articles etc. n when u think u r confirtable with it start sum advance level like lakshmikanth n bipin chandra
@[472297:coming2iim]: n regrdng chankyan n rau i dnt know exactly wht happnd but 1 thing m sure they r still reaping benefit of their past success
bro........i know that..............gk/gs 
already reading ncert...........but i seriously think i need a coach like vajiram..........
there is a gap between reading-learning.......i have to know in which areas i need to focus.....atleast what to read n what to leave!
n chankya n rau........atleast about rau i am dam sure about rau.....
any contact for mohanthy sir.............want to join from September itself!
@[472297:coming2iim]: Ok then my mistake
mohanty sir is in synergy. ad abhi nikalna shuru nahin hue hain(check their website), but very soon they will come out with it. n regarding vajiram. though m not 100% sure but i think koi batch morning mein hain but not sure whether gs or pub ad.
having a keen eye on vajiram...........they r not having such batchs.......
his first batch is from 8 am......
i requested them about weekend batch..........they said not possible!
about mohanthy sir.....

@[472297:coming2iim]: nice to have a healthy argument and counter- argument round
though the link is not opening just now due to my network problem but i think i have seen it. n regarding what is being said here i fully appreciate your view and personally i too am not in much favor of any coaching. but point is you will find hell lot of guys with varies experience. prince dhawan(http://princedhawan.wordpress.com/2012/05/26/approach-to-public-administration-basics/) got 394 in pub ad while being in mohanty sir's class, neeraj(rank 11) used his notes and got above 350 etc but on the other hand 3 yrs back the then topper shubhra mam just declared all pub ad teachers in delhi to be fraud. so u will always have diverse opinion in any topic. though self study is the best option but those who think they require coaching they shud go for it. it is purely ur personal choice. each yr selection happens from mohanty also. bhawani singh also, vajiram also and even by self-preparation.
hey thanks bro............
i know the situation.........basic guidance is required and that too i need.............
for that i have to go...........no option...........
GS ka kuch ho jaye to maja aa jaye................

GS Ka apne aap hi kucch ho jayega kya ? jab study shuru karogey wo bhi standard aur basic books se tab hi maja aayega na ji 😉 aur ye coaching se door hi raho, door rahogey to jyada jaldi select ho jaaogey agar farzi coachings k jaal mein fase rahe to bas fir exam hi dete reh jaaogey , coaching centre ka bas 1 sole objective hota hai wo hai > Money , Money & More Money

in ur answer to that currency question
@[594749:lobster24]: actually woh point bhi mere mind main aa rha tha but main confuse ho rha tha whether it was the cause of value depreciation or it is the cause of increasing current account deficit and decreasing foreign reserves due to depreciation of rupee value. main link oil ki wajah se value depreciate kyon ho rahi hai woh soch nahin pa rha tha. value giri, import mahanga hua, oil bill badha, CAD badha usey compensate karne k liye Forex kam karna pada.
but oil ki wajah se rupee kyon gir rha hai, pls do explain to me???
thanks

India ran a trade deficit of nearly $185billion in the financial year 2011-2012 (i.e. between April 1, 2011 and March 31, 2012).Imports have to be paid for in dollars because that is the international currency that everybody accepts. They cannot be paid for in rupees. Now when payments have to be made in dollars, the importers sell rupees and buy dollars. When this happens the foreign exchange market suddenly has an excess supply of rupees and a short fall of dollars. This leads to rupee losing value against the dollar.In case our exports matched our imports, then exporters who brought in dollars would be converting them into rupees, and thus there would be a balance in the market.Reserve Bank of India (RBI) tries to stem the fall of the rupee by selling dollars and buying rupees to ensure that there is an adequate supply of dollars in the market and at the same time any excess supply of rupees is sucked out. This is done in order to ensure that the rupee either maintains or gains value against the dollar. But the RBI cannot do this indefinitely for the simple reason that it has a limited amount of dollars.India runs a trade deficit on two accounts. One is that it has to import oil to meet a major portion of its domestic needs.
And the second is the fact that Indians have a huge fascination for gold. Last year India imported around 1000 tonnes of gold. So we do not produce enough of the oil that we use and the gold that we buy. This in turn means that we have to import this from abroad. Both oil and gold are internationally sold in dollars.The price of both oil and gold has been going up for a while (though very recently it has been falling). This means more and more dollars have to be paid for importing them. This, as explained above, leads to a glut of rupees and an increased demand for the dollars, thus pushing down the value of the rupee against the dollar. when will the new syllabus for upsc come into force???
@[594749:lobster24]: right bro absolutely right.
thank you for explaining
@[560238:amlesh009]: not atleast in 2013. so keep preparing the optionals
