How To Effectively Use Indian Society Notes For UPSC?

It is important to understand the strategy to make effective use of the Indian Society UPSC Notes. Have a look at the detailed strategy below.

  • Make Notes on Current Events: Because welfare systems are such an important aspect of this study, current events are crucial. Make sure you learn everything you can about the programs that support society’s most vulnerable citizens. You must prepare your own notes for this reason. Write about the history, need, and current developments of the scheme. Until the Mains Exam, make sure you keep your notes up to date with any modifications to these schemes.
  • Strengthen your basics: You may feel compelled to study a few great novels in order to prepare excellent Mains responses. However, only read material that is relevant to the course.
  • Thoroughly examine the NCERTs: The NCERTs of Sociology for Class XI and XII are a must-read for a conceptual understanding of this content. Read it at least twice to create a firm basis. It will provide you with a general overview of the subjects covered in this course. For Prelims, NCERTs and welfare programs (current events) are sufficient.
  • Optimally revise: Because memorizing too many schemes can be difficult in the final days, it’s a good idea to keep your notes updated to ensure concept retention.
  • Writing Answers to Previous Year Questions: Write answers to both predicted and previous year questions. Answering the questions from the prior year can help you figure out what kinds of inquiries are asked about this subject. As a result, you’ll be able to better prepare draft responses for questions you’re expecting.
  • Because there is no single book on this topic, you must read only the content that is important to the curriculum. You can do so by downloading the micro themes from the syllabus.
