Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rely entirely on your notes for GS?
- Yes, from the static perspective you can. But the UPSC in recent times has prioritised contemporary issues and current affairs (can’t say if the trend will remain the same, don’t take chances). So, to better your chances, you have to cover my notes and complement it with the current affairs diligently (we are covering current affairs on a Weekly basis from May 2019).
How long can I access the downloads?
- All the downloads, updates, current affairs etc. are accessible on https://store.pmfias.com/downloads for up to ONE Year from the date of purchase.
How to approach these 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 our Environment notes.
Are these 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 sincerely appreciate the efforts and pains you are taking to help the student community.
Just a suggestion, please use better quality images & thoroughly check for any proofreading mistakes. It kills the essence having worked so hard in compiling the material but having it spoiled by a few easily avoidable mistakes.
Thanks again. 🙂

Hello Bhargavi, you don’t need to purchase it again. All the downloads and updates are available for download for up to two years from the date of purchase (as of Jan 2019). As you have purchased the notes in Dec 2017, the downloads and updates are available for free till Dec 2019. Log in and visit the downloads page to download the files.
The changes in some sections are substantial. All the important points are highlighted in blue and red colours. I will write a detailed guide on how to cover the new notes in a few days.
Good luck!

Thank you for the review Vinitha. I am trying my best to bring the updated edition by the 1st week of January. If not the entire syllabus at least 70-80% will be done by then. I will post the content in a phased manner so that you will not face a time crunch.
Good luck!
