[@arewecool177]

@@otakuedits_5050 doesn't matter! Upsc has a different set of questions altogether

[@bharatvarsh9486]

We can'r ignore Modern History. Its a Bit Lesser than Ancient and Medieval History.As We see from year papers, Various acts passed before the independence are asked and Also Soem other Types of questions Which we can understand by analysing previous Question. If we read Modern History, There are Higher chances that you will be Able to do it in the prelims. But Coming To Ancient and Medival, Medival Is sometimes not asked and Sometimes Asked. From ancient history, Culture questions are asked more which Cant be found With sufficient Matter in NCERTs or any other book. So Ignoring anything Is dangerous. Modern history is important and easy if you Check the the kind of questions asked every year from it. Ancient and medival History Should also not be ignored for Prelims. Read everyhing.

[@ShikhaSingh-y8k]

And this is the real fact we can't skip NCERT's

[@bharatvarsh9486]

But Spectrum is Good. The summaries After Each chapter are very useful and Looking at the trend and Kind of questions will Further help In Studying Modern History. We cannot Ignore Modern History. Questions Are asked every year from it. Soemtimes less and soemtimes More.

[@UPSCprepIAS]

What I'm not saying: 1. Spectrum is bad. 2. Don't do Modern history. What I am saying: Spectrum is length, the effort-reward ratio is low.

If someone asks a pertinent question, I do my level best to reply. But I'm not constantly looking at all the comments coming in as that would be too distracting. I usually do this in one go every 2-3 days. First comment, due to its speed and the fact that you're usually around when a video is going live, usually gets a response. Plus the medal is a cheeky way of saying you've won internet brownie points.
