Description
Topics of Geography and Environment have a lot of convergence. I highly recommend you buy both the Notes as the topics covered in one notes are not included in the other. As 95% of the users buy both, it is not logical for me to add the same content in both the notes as it would increase the number of pages and the printing cost.
This is how the downloads page looks like as of 20-01-2021

The best notes for upsc preparation.
I found all the topics relevant and upto the requirement for upsc. It clears complex topic in easy way. No need for other source of reference.
Waiting for its updation which is due in January 2019. I Request to update the content with current demand by upsc as much as possible.

I would say do not go for geography and environment books and wasting your time on books. I prefer these pdf notes (all Geo, Envrnmt and Bio) and do practice mock test because notes arranged in systematic way, Good explanation.
I could not find any other notes like that.
Excellent work by you sir.
Thank You sir.

Excess content on certain topics. Keep it as precise as possible.
Instead of copy pasting ncert on certain topics, you could concise it.

Hari bindal (verified owner) –
I bought PMF IAS Notes for geography in 2017.. I advise to all aspirant.. keep it focus on NCERT … Other thing would be waste of your time..
Regarding PMF also.. compilation is good.. but while reading ..u will not feel that u r reading from authentic source.. so I would not advise these notes.
PMF IAS (verified owner) –
Thanks for the feedback, Hari. I will address all the issues in the upcoming revised and updated edition. From 2019 onwards I will also be focusing on current affairs and contemporary issues that are important from the Geography perspective.
Good luck 🙂

Thanks, Mahesh. Good luck with prep 🙂
Khilanand Joshi –
Excellent work is done by you. I can see the hard work done by you and specially I can highlight is that you have tried to explain each and every topic with the help of meaningful diagrams which is really awesome about your notes. Even though most of the contents is a copy paste of NCERT, then also you have made efforts to put all the contents collectively in one roof section wise beautifuly.
SUGGESTIONS: Please try to give numbering to each new topic and their sub topics so that for a new person it would be easier to understand the flow of each and every topic.
PMF IAS (verified owner) –
Thank you for the comprehensive review, Khilanand. All your suggestions are noted. Good luck with prep 🙂
Neha Jha (verified owner) –
I always wished for at least one optional subject not to be asked in Prelims and for me it was Geography. After PMF I’m more confident while marking answers. For someone like me who is doing self-study, it is a blessing complemented with its youtube video. Go for PMF without any second thought. Not just geography, bio, major crops and environment pdf also deserve equal credit and that too, at a bonus of affordable price. Thank you, team, for lucid, concise notes.
PMF IAS (verified owner) –
Thank you for the comprehensive review, Neha. Good luck with prep 🙂
Nikhil Ganesh Rajasekaran (verified owner) –
Clear explanations with diagrams help a lot in understanding topics the material is short and sweet to read during the revision time please add some current affairs in the topics and provide materials for other subjects like history, polity and economy too. At the end of the material please provide some current question pattern setting done by UPSC.
PMF IAS (verified owner) –
Thank you, Nikhil. I have taken note of all your suggestions. I will try to implement them from the next revision.
Good luck with prep 🙂

@PMF IAS
I thank PMF for the very well prepared material. I have 2 question regarding the same –
– Are these notes enough for Geography (Prelims + GS)?
– Do we need to complete all Mrunal videos or just the ‘Resources Distribution’ part of those?
Thanks!
PMF IAS (verified owner) –
These notes plus regular current affairs should do the job.
Just the resource distribution part. Even the other videos are great. Go through them as well if you get time.
Thanks and good luck 🙂

I am Arpit Gupta from Patiala, Punjab. I have scored AIR-300 this year in CSE 2018 exam with geography optional.
I have been watching PMF IAS videos and following the printed notes since 2016.
I would like to say a big THANK YOU to you for providing online videos as well as the material for geography as well as environment notes for general studies.
The videos and the environment notes helped me understand some complex topics and since it was available as a soft copy, it helped on easy revision as I could read it on my tablet while on the move.
The dirt cheap rate of material surprised me when I first visited your site in 2015. I was sceptical of it and thought that it will be of no good.
But, since it was so cheap I thought to give it a try. I am glad that I did. The material is exhaustive and I fell in love with the maps and illustrations. Also, the previous years’ questions have been discussed in detail which help you understand the nature of environment questions being asked.
For environment, I did not rely on any outside source and followed your notes only and I dare say that it was more than sufficient and perhaps exceeds what UPSC may ask.
Much Thanks and gratitude to you for your selfless work. You truly are Poor Man’s Friend.
Arpit Gupta
AIR-300
CSE-2018.
PMF IAS –
Heartiest congratulations, Arpit.
Good luck with your 2019 attempt. Hope to see you in Top 100 in the next toppers list 🙂

nirbhay (verified owner) –
pros:
1) comprehensive in nature hence can be treated as 1 stop source
2) exam oriented and relevant.
3) value for money
cons:
yet to come across any genuine cons but will update as soon as i find one.
suggestion: pmf should publish some synopsis kind of thing to revise before pre specially in world climate and environment part.
for mains they should sense the trend and accordingly update the notes and guide students . eg. mantle plume asked in mains 2018 is there in notes unlike others book but still matter is insufficient to write answer
PMF IAS (verified owner) –
Thank you for the feedback, Nirbhay. All your suggestions are duly noted.
From 2019, I will be providing short notes for quick revision, and I will also be covering the relevant current affairs. I will make sure that all the topics are covered comprehensively.
