      Hello Milan, sorry for later reply, this comment was hidden in spams.
      Category II – Stations in Jammu & Kashmir, North-East Region, Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands connected with stations outside these regions
      Category IIA – Routes exclusively within destinations in Jammu & Kashmir, North-East Region, Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep Islands

    Dear Sir,I In this target 2016 integrated gs preparation, up to now 500 pages of documents have been uploaded by you. my question is sir do we also have to go through the previous gs manual 2014 which has also been updated or it is included in the materials being provided by you. ?

    as it will make the revision task harder .I am going to revise up to milestone 8 at least 3 times before the prelims.along with the NCERTS.

      Hello Arun, You don;t have to to go thru previous GS Manual because all manual documents would repeat. The Manual Economy 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 have been already revised (except Iron & Steel industry). The geography, history, ethics, science, environment, all documents would come to you in revised format and I will take down GS Manual as I complete this task. I have put it there so that if someone has time and wants to go thru the old static documents, they don;t need to request for the same via email or comments. Further, we are giving revision documents also in the form of question answers. NCERT books, I had used long ago in these documents, so its up to you if you would like to take them along.

    This may not be correct question to ask here in this forum but still asking and if someone could answer, that will be great! Can e-readers be used for reading personal study material (like GK today docs) or only in-built downloadable e-books can be used in devices like Kindle. And has anyone use such devices for reading pupose? are these advisable?
    Thank you!

      Hello Anjali, I would say not to memorize, but actually people framing questions out there in UPSC are strange sometimes. For example, in 2014, they asked this question:
      Consider the following pairs:
      National Highway Cities connected
      1. NH 4 : Chennai and Hyderabad
      2. NH 6 : Mumbai and Kolkata
      3. NH 15 : Ahmadabad and Jodhpur
      Which of the above pairs is/are correctly matched?
      I don’t know if they were really checking the knowledge or choosing muggers. Still, I would say no need to memorize.

    Dear Mr. Suresh, as i could see in the schedule milestone 1 is to be achieved by 30th October, 2015. I guess there is still some time to conclude the same. Request to please indicate the tentative deadline for conclusion of milestone 1. Thanks

      Hello Navneet, This milestone has taken more time than thought because every topic is dynamic and previous work done was of not much help. Both the milestones should be finished in next 15-20 days, just working very hard to keep up the quality as we thought. By December first week, things would synchronized to our rough schedule.
