ARC reports - I read some reports in full and read extracts from others. I would recommend reading these reports as they provide you with both content and quality, not only for PA-2 but also GS and Essay.

I’ve already described my strategy for making notes in a previous post. I started with previous 10 years’ questions as the nucleus and expanded outwards, creating a thought framework for each question and jotting down pointers for related topics. Value addition is important in PA-2 answers and can be easily done by invoking (1) Thinkers from PA-1; (2) Personalities who have shaped the particular aspect of administration that the question deals with; (3) Examples from current affairs – I extracted these from newspapers and placed in the relevant portion of my notes regularly. I made sure that I had revised my notes many times before the D-day.

  9. Dear sir,

    This is Lalit Kumar singh Bhadauriya working as Software Engineer at new Delhi Since last two years.
    but I was interested for civil services from the beginning , but to do preparation for civil services prevent
    me some financial condition and my family responsibility. my age is 24 present now and wave of dedication
    and song of preparation of civil services is today now.


    so please guide me this is the right time to start the preparation while doing a job and how much time to give for that and I will join weekend batch in any coaching center. History and either public administration or political science is right optional subject for me because In my graduation and post graduation all subjects are technical.

    Thank You sir & Regards
