IASbaba's OPTIONAL Classes
IASbaba’s GEOGRAPHY OPTIONAL CLASSES to Start from 5th August 2019 (Monday)
GEOGRAPHY OPTIONAL
Thank you for the overwhelming response we received for the Orientation Session which was held on 20th July, 2019.
We will be starting off with GEOGRAPHY OPTIONAL OFFLINE CLASSES from 5th August 2019 (Monday).
The Classes will be taken by Atyab Ali Zaidi Sir (One of the highest scorers in Geography in the year 2012 and 2013), an Alumni of NIT Allahabad, Chemical Engineering and Associated with IASBABA since its inception.
He has been mentoring UPSC aspirants since past 5 years and many of his students have qualified this prestigious exam with flying colours.
The testimony of the quality of the classes is the following feedback comments provided by the students of the last year’s batch.
FEEDBACK of Geography Optional Class:
The purpose of this write up is twofold- to help you understand the merits of Geography as an optional and share the details of the comprehensive Geography Offline Classroom Programme.
But before we let you know the merits of Geography as an optional, please remove the notions and biases from your mind that might have developed as a result of your discussions on various online forums and maybe with your friends and seniors. UPSC doesn’t intentionally “butcher” a subject. All the optionals have their distinct advantages and drawbacks but by no stretch of imagination would UPSC give preference to one optional over the other. What may happen though is that some optionals might have scored more than the others in a particular year but that trend gets reversed also. That is the unpredictability of the Civil Services Examination that we have to live with. In fact, till the time optionals remain a part of CSE, this unpredictability will remain.
So, learn to live with it rather than blaming it. Most of the times, the answers to one’s failure or unexpected performance lies within and not externally.
So the message is clear for all the sceptics-
before blaming UPSC for its so called “bias” for or against any optional, try to find the reasons of not doing well by looking inward!
So coming to the point, let us enumerate the merits of Geography as an optional to help you decide whether it’s the subject for you:
1. Geography is scoring: If you maintain the essence of Geography in your answers, it will definitely fetch you good marks in Mains.
2. Geography is interesting: You will have a fun ride with geography as most of the concepts relate to the physical and social environment of which you are an integral part.
3. Geography has maximum overlap with GS syllabus: If you prepare Geography optional, more than 30-40% of your GS syllabus is automatically prepared. Moreover, you develop better perspectives for Essay paper and interview as well.
4. Geography is logic driven and scientific: Unlike some other humanities subjects, study of Geography entails logic, scientific theories and empirical evidences. This makes Geography easy to understand and apply.
5. Geography has abundance of sources to refer: There is no dearth of quality materials and good books in Geography. You don’t have to dig too much into bookstores to find good books on Geography.
Now, having discussed the merits, let us tell you what we have in store for your optional preparation.
