sir recently i came across the material by NIOS(national institute of open schooling)kindly have a look at it and tell us its relevance for upsc http://www.nios.ac.in/srsec_cour.htm
ReplyDeleteAditya it seems that such material will not have direct benefit as far as UPSC concerned. I will recommend traditional reading like NCERT than material from such source.
ReplyDeleteSir,I find Indian express more informative and interesting than Hindu or Times.So can i continue with indian express only or should i refer hindu also?
DeleteHi Akshay,
Deleteyou can continue with Indian Express, but then you can supplement it with the Hindu (Hindu covers some policy and international affairs news in better way than express)
