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 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.
