[@srishtijha5254]

Good morning sir, first of all i would like to say a big thanks to you,for the things you are doing for the country...you are educating lakhs n lakhs of students. being very honest,i really respect you n your are my role model sir,i want to become an IAS officer,though i haw seen many people wants to join civil services because they are money n fame seekers but for me it was never like that,i am a true Indian, i am a nationalist,i m doing ias so that i can contribute all wht i can to the country, i live in chhattisgarh,two years back, the dsp of bilaspur district Rahul sharma shooted himself from his own service revolver n before commiting suicide he wrote a letter and he told that he was fed up of his boss G.P Singh,he also mentioned that G.P singh works for mafia. rahul sharma left us n his mudrers are still out of jaws of law. sir my point is that even after becoming an IAS officer..one has to work under a sort of system.. n every indian knows n experienced india's system. wht is the advantage of becoming an ias even after knowing that one has to work under a wrong instruction or direction which will be given by the one who is superior to us.. system changers are required. or their will be no benefit of appointing civil servants. i feel pain for my country everyday... every moment i feel that India is in butchers hands. sir,i am in dilemma, please help me out of it i feel n i know that m born to serve the country. but how, in what way. i haw a dream of an honest n a beautiful India,where their will be no scars on its image. where their will be humanity( the big word) equality and honesty in every heart. i need help,i know u will help me in a better way thanku

Please Clear these doubts : 1) I passed my class 10th and 12th from CBSE board where they don't explicitly mention the division/class. What should I write in DAF regarding division/class for 10th & 12th? 2) My father passed away 5 years ago. Should I write about his last held designation/profession or simply put 0 in place of "Father's Profession" ?

[@taskmaster3086]

Sir, in DAF, there is a column for other exams conducted by UPSC in which one is required to fill roll no and other details. My query is: 1. If I Dont remember the roll no for a particular exam,/can I write '0' in its place? 2. Has/can UPSC ask questions from that column? For eg, if I have given CAPF exam earlier and did qualify the written round but didn't go for physical, can they ask the reason and does that reflect badly on my image?

[@deathknightultra]

Geography series for sure... And Csat Comprehension skills

[@deepankarmahato9585]

[@HarmanpreetSingh-dy6yv]

Sir, in one of your video you have said that the best way to write an answer in mains paper is the point format because of time constraints, I have seen your model answer on world history on Mrunal, Just some doubts, should I attempt each and every question in mains, and why do people get only like 90, 100, 110 marks out of 250 even in their optional subjects.

Thats really informative video . Thank you for sharing it. I have few doubts, if you can spare sometime to reply. 1. I belong to Guj. I am in guj govt. service since last 6-7 months. At the time of DAF, What if i mention my home state to some other state, so that at the time of cadre selection i will have more seats available in guj, being a non-home state candidate?.? Is it objectionable? Any specific GR? 2. I seriously dont have or cultivated any (typical) hobbies like singing, reading, dancing, sports etc.. i spend most of my time in computer, software, browsing and at most in gadgets... is there any valid hobby possible from this context? Any fellow colleagues reading this are welcomed to present their views here. Thank you once again for this platform. Keep it up. 🤙🏼

Basics in economics, not whole but basics please. I think if you are going to teach economics we will be easily able to solve 80%questions of economics in prelims leaving that controversial 20%.so please basics in economics.. And continue ur polity series upto end like ecology. Both the series are very very useful. No questions asked this year outside of these lectures so please for 100% correct answers in polity we need the best lectures by you fir remaining topics.

Hello Dr Roman Saini Sir, I've a doubt about profession under profile section. I'm going to appear for exams in 2020 and I'm doing pretty well so far with studies however I've worked in numerous MNCs and I still am working. Since I started at an early age I didn't have quite much idea about stability and now when I've realized the importance of career stability I'm afraid my past experience (obviously off papers, since I absconded from every company) will portray my stability issue so will it affect during interview?
