How to approach this notes?

  • You must first analyse the previous years’ prelims and mains papers to understand the pattern and nature of questions asked from Geography.
  • Use DOC file to make short notes for quick revision for both Prelims and Mains. This way you can save a lot of time.
  • UPSC is changing the nature of the questions from year to year. There is no fixed rule. Future question papers can have predominantly Static or Dynamic knowledge-based questions or a mix of both. Don’t take chances, cover both.
  • You must also focus on Environment related concepts like pollution, climate change, etc. from my Environment notes.

Are this notes useful for Geography Optional?

  • Yes, it can be quite useful for creating a good base for Geography Optional. Basics are the key to quickly grasp Physical Geography concepts.

      I don’t have any notes on ethics. For ethics Manoj K Jha of Ias Score is really good. But his course is pretty expensive (~15k+). You can try getting his printed or hand written notes from Delhi.

    I think, it is a good, crisp and simple notes. No need to study more Savinder Singh and Gc Leong for geography and agriculture portion and especially environmental portion only need to link it with current events. If u further updates its with current event time to time more beneficial us bcoz now a days questions not asked directly static portion so please update time to time. And last thank you so much for providing such an amazing material.

    Great book explained in details provided sufficient informations required with concepts. Can look for updating new concepts relevant for mains and optional something related to current affairs periodically. For eg like Indian dipole was something in news was asked in prelims related to ENSO concept. Keep updating and mail it to the loyal customers.
    Wish you good fortune to come

    Ravi Teja (verified owner) – September 23, 2017

    After reading the ncerts and a standard reference book it is worthless and time waste to go for it.As it is a big book prepared by mixing both of them.literally copied and paste the sentences.

      I made this notes for personal reference so I didn’t take it very professionally in the intital days. I am making efforts to correct my mistakes. I will be rewriting the book comletely and in it will be published soon.

      I disagree with your “worthless and time waste” comment. Yes the book is big (in terms of pages due to lot of images) but it is definitely not a time waste.

      I have explained a lot of complex concepts in a very simpler manner (No standard book explained complex concepts like Indian Monsoons, jet streams, cyclones etc. like I did in my notes). May be you didn’t like too many facts presented in the book. It’s okay. You are entitled to your opinion.

      In the next revision I promise it will be original, short and way better.

      Thanks for the review. Good luck 🙂

    BEST (Really BEST) Notes of Geography for GS-1

    Vaseem (verified owner) – January 9, 2018

    It was very difficult for me to study geography in piecemeal manner starting from class 6th and updating the notes everytime when I read books of higher classes. PMFIAS’s notes and videos for geography are among the best in class. I’d suggest everyone to buy these notes. Student can maximize their understanding with following :

    1. Study these notes in consultation to youtube lectures series provided by PMFIAS. (preferably watch Video lecture first and then read notes)
    2. Notes also have references and answers to some conceptual previous years questions.
    3. At times, author also tries to frame possible conceptual question and answers them – It helps expand your horizon of understanding.
    4. For many important topics, it provides ‘summary’ and ‘eloboration’ – caters the need of both categories of the person who want brief and detailed study – serves quick revision.
    5. Important terms / concept are in bold letters, making them easy to spot and focus during revision.

    Note : ‘Human Geography’ and ‘Industry Location Factor’ is not covered in these notes. If anyone know what is the best and concise source for this, pl. pl. inform.

    I wish best of luck to the author for his attempt in CSE.

    Regards.

      Thank you for your comprehensive review Vaseem. I wish you a very good luck with UPSC prep 🙂
      – Coming to ‘Industrial Location Factors’ part you can refer mrunal.org/geography. I didn’t cover this part as I wouldn’t have done it any better than what mrunal has done. Why do the same work twice?
      – And coming to Human geography part, it is not explicitly mentioned in the GS mains syllabus. And in prelims hardly any questions are asked from Human Geography. But in Geography Optional HG has a determining role. But my notes is meant for GS only!

    Worst geo notes...

    Manoj Kumar Sattawan (verified owner) – January 23, 2018

    I was misguided by fake reviews… And purchased these notes. But I regret why I wasted my money to buy this garbage….the compiler of these notes is really have no knowledge about upsc…. He has poured 8-10 books and whole Wikipedia to prepare the notes. Only 5% portion of the material is relevant for upsc…. Now it is up to you whether you want to invest your energy to mug up irrelevant things or study smart and save both time and energy… You will not find flow and correlative concepts pattern in these notes….. Last thing…if you are really serious for upsc… Follow only savinder Singh…

      Hello Manoj, I would like to clarify you that not even a single review is fake. They are all reviews by real users. Feel free to check reviews on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pg/PoorMansFriend2485/reviews/ and Google https://goo.gl/Ek6Soq.

      Anudeep Durishetty All India Rank 1, UPSC CSE 2017: https://anudeepdurishetty.in/booklist-for-prelims/

      “I regret why I wasted my money to buy this garbage”
      No, I am not interested in selling you garbage. So I am refunding both of your payments of Rs. 90 (Jul 21, 2016) and Rs. 140 (Jan 22, 2018). The details of the refund are forwarded to your email.

      “the compiler of these notes really has no knowledge about UPSC”
      Sorry, I beg to differ.

      “Only 5% portion of the material is relevant for upsc”
      Sorry, I beg to differ with you on this too. They are 100% relevent.

      “if you are really serious for upsc… Follow only savinder Singh…”
      Savinder Singh only deals with Physical Geography and it is a bulky book meant for Optional and for academics.

      I believe that everybody is entitled to have an opinion but they shouldn’t be this far from reality.

      Good luck Manoj Kumar Sattawan 🙂

    Great Work

    Shiv Saini – January 14, 2018

    Just being new to prep, Geography seem to be a big nightmare for its vastness in Pre & Mains. Reading these structured notes helped a lot. Thank you PMF… Genuinity & Credibility in your personality can be seen through your website and notes.

    Query – Being new to syllabus Can PMF tell :-
    1) Does Geography Notes(80) + Indian Geo notes(10) cover all the sub & sub sub parts of the Pre & Mains syllabus (beside Location factor) ? .. If any part remaining please tell so that I dont skip anything in such a vast syllabus and can cover from standard books.
    2) Can you tell in more detailed form How to approach notes so that a newbee can extract maximum RELEVANT info in a given time frame from your notes. Like – how maps reading to be interlinked or so, How Mrunal – Rajtnail videos can help (as I like many aspirants have already seen that), Is there a requirement to go for bulky standard books post reading notes or it is sufficient for GS Geo.

    I hope these are the questions in mind of alot of aspirants. I just expressed their concerned too..

    Please Help Sir 🙂

      Hello Shiv, thank you for your review.

      “Does Geography Notes cover all sub parts of the Pre & Mains syllabus (beside Location factor)?”
      – Yes.

      “Can you tell in more detailed form How to approach notes”
      – Read from DOC chapterwise (in the order as I have given).
      – After studying each chapter edit the DOC from Prelims and Mains perspective. Shorten it for quick revision (this will help you during prelims and mains).
      – Follow current affairs regularly and relate current affairs with the static portion (in last few mains most of the questions were current affairs related).
      – For climate change and related concepts refer my environment notes (again you should link with current affairs).
      – Don’t focus much on silly facts. Be very selective. Focus on only very import facts from each chapter (Refer previous Qps to understand the nature of questions asked).

      “Should I refer other books”
      – My notes in itself is quite extensive. I don’t think you will get enough time to refer other books.
      All the best 🙂

    ONE OF THE BEST GEO NOTES EVER MADE

    pkjpranav30 (verified owner) – January 6, 2018

    I had started preparing for geo with all ncerts from 6-12. Later when I crosschecked the PYQPs to check my knowledge base I was really disappointed with my progress.Then before reading GC Leong as suggested by everyone I came across this platform and watched some of the videos regarding climatology. Believe me, I couldn’t be more happy to find all my doubts cleared in those videos. Then I went for other videos on various topics and then I was literally ecstatic to find such a wonderful compilation of all necessary concepts needed for upsc prep. This could not be better presented by any other guy or team on any known platform. Moreover when I discovered the notes and that too at such a modest rate, the respect for PMFias became more profound. Trust me geo notes with most of the content copied pasted from many sources are sold in hundreds of rupees in New Delhi bookshops but PMFias notes at such a meager amount is something which deserves accolades from all aspirants. After watching those videos, grasping geo concepts has been like a cakewalk for me. I believe every aspirant who watches even a single video of PMFias should purchase these notes just to pay tribute to the sheer hard work in the compilation of such amazing content.
    Lastly, thanks a ton for this! God bless you!
