Is it possible to crack ESE-2016 if someone starts from now onwards, from scratch?
Guys, For General Studies what are the Area to Focus which has maximum Chances to be Asked in the Exam.. as I have Seen Previous Year paper trend and Came to know for the below topics-
1.Geography.(India & Physical)
2. Indian National Movements
3. Biology.
4. Polity.
5. Current.
Guys,
From where you are practising for English Paper-
1. Spotting Error.
2. Sentence Improvements.
3. Synonyms
4. Antonyms.
5. reading Comprehensions.
Now, that GATE is over. The next big battle is ESE. And the one thing that haunts us is General Studies. so, sharing important stuffs about it.
History : ancient : literature of entire period. art and culture of Guptas. livelihood in vedic period including vedas and its derivatives.
Mediaval: architecture, chronology of rule (2 things of every ruler), foreign visitors and their accounts
Modern and freedom struggle : chronology of events,(divide it in this way 1. arrival of foreign traders, rise of british in bengal, revolt of 1857, period of governor generals and viceroys, arrival of gandhi, era of INC, bengal partition, non cooperation movement, civil disobedience, quit india, cripps mission, constitution forming (immediately study about constituent assembly from polity)) 90% history ques will be asked from modern history.
Polity : articles upto fundamental rights esp 17,24. focus on these areas : appointment methods, resignations, no of members, powers of people, parliament, other organisations, impeachment procedures, state reorganisation act, article 368, EMERGENCIES, types of bills, types of majority needed in different procedures.
life sciences : for answering 70% ques from this read ncert 8 to 10th only biology chapters (there are 14 in total i think), afterwards go through classification of diseases
geography : one of the biggest subject but if you focus on connecting stuff,easiest of all.
method of connecting dots:
1. read about climate, physical of various places of INDIA (rainfall, wind, humidity, temperature).
2. know about soil of various places (soil type matters because you can grow a particular type of crop only in a particular type of soil. draw map of soils in INDIA.)
3. CONNECT THE CROPS, INDUSTRIES TO SOIL AND CLIMATE.
4. NH 1 - 10 important.
5. monsoons, la nina, el nino, rainfall patterns, wind patterns around the world.
6. connect point 5th to deserts, grasslands etc around the world.
7. important straits of the world.
8. important political regions like maghreb, horn of africa, baltic, balkan, scandanavia etc. use maps as much as you can
GK : only 3 areas to be focussed (it is very vast, but at max 5-7 ques are asked from here)
1. organizations of the world and their headquaters. make maps and focus on UN and the ones INDIA is part of. dont ignore others though.
2 . indian defence weapons, ships, aircraft, submarines names especially the ones in news from jan to apr.
3. ISRO's achievements.
ENVIRONMENT : national parks, sancturies, and various biosphere reserves of india (dont forget for what animals they are actually opened)
CURRENT AFFAIRS : again a vast thing, 2 areas focussing can bring good marks.
1. the hindu thursday edition (there is a science section follow till april)
2. national and international awards to indian people and organisation from oct to april.
