This is the highest score I have seen so far this year in History Optional. It is a very good score.

Try to concentrate on Prelims. Get through it quickly. History optional preparation will be definitely very good for all of you over next 3 months.

All the best.
Total 13 History Questions. Modern India only 2 while Culture 11 questions. Modern questions were quite simple and direct. Culture questions were mix of difficult and easy. But they were not very out of the way.

For history optional, students dont focus on Culture separately in detail. They think they know culture because they have studied Optional. It is partly correct, but not entirely. Some additional efforts are required in a different manner for Optional students also to be able to cover the Culture questions.
Strategy going forward is simple. And it was the same last year also. If you are a serious candidate, do not waste time on matching various keys, but start preparing for Mains right away. There are two reasons for it.

Firstly, if you get through Prelims, you will remain on track. There is no point wasting any time.

Secondly, if you dont get through, there are very high chances that you would not be ably use the time till Nov-Dec. Random books, unnecessary planning etc will kill your time. Its better instead to presume that you are writing mains, follow the entire regimen, join some test series, follow deadline, work hard and manage the stress. You will have one dry run, one experience. That too before October. From October to December, cover the things which you could not do due to deadlines. And then afterwards shift towards Prelims. This dry run will be extremely useful as instructive. You will be much better prepared the next year.

Keep working. Time is the only currency you have which matters in the preparation. Spend it wisely.

Both Vishal sir and I will personally check all the copies. We will provide detailed discussion as well as model answers.

The faculties will be available everyday on call or personal discussion. Resolving the queries and doubts of the Mains appearing students is the highest priority because all we have is 100 days.

Very happy to share this video. Students who were with us for those 60-70 hours, their efforts are bore happy fruits. Almost 90% questions were directly answerable from the classroom teaching. Here are the snippets in just over two minutes. This is a trailer. A longer complete video will be made public soon.
A new DAMP program will be launched after Main examination. The previous one is over now.

We are right now focussing on the Test Series. It will start from 11th June. This test series will go on till Mains. In the test series we cover around 250 questions with detailed discussion as well as model answers.

Both programs provide ample writing practice.

Just watched the movie.

The tension of the world war, and the tension between global scientific community on one hand and nation-state on the other: both are shown very effectively. We don't bother much about history of science in India. We should take it more seriously than we do now.

However, this movie is less about the atom bomb and more about the ethics of deadly technology that the scientists deal with... it is also about emotional coping of a sensitive person who created a monster due to situational needs... moreover, it is also about ugly politics of extreme nationalism, which devours its own heroes.

These three things form a the major themes while atom bomb recedes into a backdrop.

IMAX camera is used not only to deliver the fantastic rendition of Trinity test which shows the inside of the explosion, but also to give close-ups of Oppenheimer's face, which shows us inside of his mind. It is a must watch.
