 So, let us start with the basics ok. So, you know how many of your agree graduates, BSE agree ok right, so you are non agree right ok. So, any science background or engineering, engineering here, engineering ok right, right, right, right, bought me ok, so yes ok right, so we will start from the basics ok. So, I will give you idea. So, because many non agree students are also attending this session. So, I will give you basic idea about how to choose optional ok, so based on the weightage you can the pros and cons you can choose optional ok right. See, there are two kinds of subjects in the UPSC ok, so broadly humanity subjects and the technical subjects ok, pure science and the one more category applied science applied science ok, but that also come under the science subjects ok right. So, here in the humanity subjects we have the very popular optionals sociology, geography, political science ok. So, they are the very popular optionals in India ok, so humanity subjects and the technical subjects pure science botany, zoology ok and the agricultural forestry are the applied science not pure science ok, agricultural forestry and all ok right. So, agriculture comes under the science subject right ok, so what are the pros and cons of these humanity subjects and the science subjects ok right. So, first question first thing if you are a agree graduate then definitely you can, so without any second thought you can directly choose aggregation optional ok, no need to worry about that ok. So, but for other students ok, students of the other background science background botany zoology, biotechnology, microbiology ok and engineering students I will ok you can decide after the session ok right. So, what are the difficulties in the humanity subjects and what are the advantages of humanity subjects? See the humanity subjects are very popular and we have been studying the subjects since our school days, the geography, sociology, political science ok. So, you can easily no need to cover the entire syllabus ok, they will provide a syllabus ok, but it is a purely the marks the scoring is based on your writing skill ok, most of the questions are analytical questions ok, you no need to make it up whereas, in the science subjects they will provide a definite syllabus ok and you have to read each and every part of the syllabus, each and every part of the the word in the syllabus is very important ok. So, you have to make proper notes and you have to read by heart ok. So, many theories concepts, scientific name right, but in the human subjects no need to worry about that, it is purely based on your your analytical the most of the questions are analytical questions. So, based on your writing skill you can score very good marks, but that is also the disadvantage. So, you must have a proper very good analytical skill and the writing skill. Moreover, these subjects ok, they are a subject to the examiners interpretation, because they are a subjective nature not objective ok. So, the science subjects are objective nature and the humanity subjects are subjective nature ok. So, the examiner he may agree with your points or may not agree ok. So, based on the opinion based questions for right ok. So, these are the advantages and disadvantages. So, based on that you can decide ok. So, analyze your strength. So, which area you are very strong ok. So, I can read the scientific names, I can make it up ok. I have a very good memory capacity ok, then you can choose the science subjects and the students of the science background they can easily choose the science subjects ok. So, engineering students other category they can decide ok. So, I am good at the writing skill and I have analytical skill and moreover I am not I am hated the memory power ok. So, what are they? The by heart ok. So, you have to read each and every word in the syllabus ok, no need to read, but that is simply you can follow the current affairs ok for many of these questions open business questions ok, no need to follow the entire syllabus ok. Just you can go through the overall the syllabus ok and you can the current affairs is very very important ok. So, I have very good writing skills so, they can I can choose the humanity subjects ok and decide right ok. So, here I will list out the advantages of the agriculture ok, why you have to choose agriculture ok for a useful for both the agree students as well as non agree ok. So, based on that you can decide. So, this is the highest success rate in India among the major optionals ok, I am talking about major optionals. So, agriculture is one of the major optional ok, sociology, political science, geography ok, public administration, agriculture ok. So, these are the major anthropology ok, history so, these are the major optionals in India. So, among the major optionals, agriculture has the highest success rate ok, you can see this fact in the UPC annual report ok. So, the success rate is around 10 percentage that means, if 100 candidates are appearing for main exam, so, 10 out of 100 ok, they are clearing with the agriculture option. Whereas, for other subjects ok, it is around 8, 7, 7.5, 9.5 ok, so, these are the facts for other subjects, other optionals, popular optionals ok. So, agriculture is the highest success rate and one common question I face from students every year ok, why there is no topess in agriculture ok, so, you know the highest success rate in agriculture that is ok, but most of the topess in UPC are from sociology, geography, political science, public administration ok. So, if you look at the actual number, you will not get true picture. So, you have to look at the proportion, you have to see the proportion see. So, the number of candidates ok, see the sociology, but you know the popular optionals, every year more than 1000 students are appearing with these subjects for mains ok, I am talking about mains ok right. So, if 1000 students are writing mains from these subjects ok, only 80 or 90 students clearing with only 80 or 90, 90 students ok, they are clearing in the final result. That means, the ratio is around 8 percentage to 9 percentage ok, but in agriculture around 150 or 100 students they are writing mains ok. So, you have to see these numbers, the proportion ok, you should not look at the actual numbers sir in sociology 80 students are clearing in the final result, but in agriculture only 10 students, is that correct way ok, you have to see the number of candidates appearing for mains ok, out of 110 students, out of 1000 AP students ok, so that is the why. So, what is the problem with agriculture? Only 100 students are appearing for mains, so the problem with agriculture mostly for the science background students ok, actually many candidates are appearing for agriculture ok, many candidates they choose agree just their option, more than every year the more than 1000 candidates they are preparing with agriculture optional, but the main problem with the science background students, they did not clear prelims because of CSAT ok, I know many ok, every year in our batch also ok, more than 200 students are studying in agriculture ok, but many of the students I know they are very good potential candidates ok, we conduct usually we conduct the class test, at a periodical interval we conduct class test. So, during class test I have seen many papers, they are very potential in agriculture, but if they write mains they will get good marks, but the problem is most of the students ok, only out of if 10 students are appearing for prelims, only 2 students are clearing with the agriculture optional, the prelim stage ok. So, at the in our class ok, the 5 months course I will also at the end of the course I will also give some inputs for how to clear prelims ok, every year ok, so what because I cleared the prelims in my first attempt ok, and I never failed in prelims, I cleared all the prelims ok in my end, the first attempt in my last attempt I never failed in any one of the prelims ok, right. So, I will give some input inputs ok, how to clear the prelims also right, so this is the problem ok, and last year fortunately one very good result ok, we have topper ok in agriculture, so Swathi's thesis code 303, so there is a very good score in agriculture optional ok, so you see is the Tamil Nadu topper in the suicide examination ok last year, right. And so this is the fact ok, you must understand these facts, that is why the number of candidates are less ok in the agriculture, but the success rate is very high ok right, so agree students you can conno model into the without second thought you can choose ok right. So, object is subject yeah ok, it is objective in nature, so not at the examiners interpretation ok, if you give the correct fact you can score very well ok, suppose if they are asking this question DNA replication ok, explain the mechanism of DNA replication right, in answer ok, the same answer ok, you are not going to interpret it we are not going to analyze it ok, just you have to give the Watson and Crick model ok, the DNA replication model ok, if you draw the diagram along with the points ok DNA replication mechanisms you will get out of 10 you will get 8 marks, if you give the correct answer with the correct diagram and the facts right, so it is objective nature right, and most of the questions are direct questions ok, so our most Nigerian person of the questions are direct questions very rare only in the paper one we have some very rare analytical questions ok, and most of the questions are direct questions ok, so all you have to do is you have to study the syllabus and for the in the syllabus ok for each and every topic you have to prepare notes ok, and we have to write answer that is all. And one more thing in a science subjects it is a common for all science subjects not only agriculture, for botany, zoology, geology ok, for all science subjects it is a common thing, if you go through the last 10 years question paper most of the questions will be repeated every year ok, around the 60 percent questions will be exactly repeated they do not even change the word ok, so this is the biggest advantage of choosing a science based optionals ok right, and overlapping syllabus with the GS yeah ok, when compared to agriculture with other science subjects the same advantage for example botany also the same advantage, subjective in objective in nature, questions are direct questions, syllabus is very definite syllabus ok, but the problem is botany is entirely different not overlapping with the GS, but agriculture since it is applied science ok, so here we have seen and the prelims questions recently they are asking more questions from agriculture the prelims ok, and agriculture, geography and environmental science combinedly they are asking more than 13, 15 questions in prelims, because these three are interrelated subjects, agriculture, geography and the environmental science. So, you must have geographical knowledge to understand agriculture ok, so these are very very important subjects these three subjects, so combinedly they are asking more than 15 questions in GS ok, and in the GS paper 3 in our GS portion ok, paper 3 we have more than 4-5 questions from agriculture ok, so there is another advantage and definite syllabus, syllabus is very definite ok, and just now I told you the questions are directly from the syllabus, out of syllabus questions and then there is no possibility of the out of syllabus questions ok, all questions are direct and these questions are directly from the syllabus ok, so all you have to do is you have to cover the entire syllabus, that is the advantage as well as the disadvantage challenge, you cannot miss a single word in the syllabus ok, entire syllabus is important, but in the humanity subjects you can overall we can cover the ok, so just you have to understand the basic concept that is all ok, the remaining you can write on your own, but here in agriculture we have to prepare proper notes for each and every topic in the syllabus ok, and if you prepare in that manner definitely you can score very high marks, so the 300 is achievable, the magic number ok, crossing 300 because nowadays 280 is a very good score and optional, 270 280 is a very good score and optional ok, so the magical number 300 is the magic number we can easily achieve right ok, and one more advantage in agriculture you can also write IFIs ok Indian forest service ok, because in forest service we cannot choose humanity subjects ok, again suppose if you are choosing sociology then again in the forest service you have to choose two more optionals, mostly the students ok they choose for they go for forestry and geology ok, but for agri students they can choose aggregation and botany because aggregation of forestry combination is not allowed right, so for Indian forest service you can also appear for forest service, but the syllabus is same except the question pattern everything is same ok, you are studying the same syllabus same content for forest service also ok, so we can one more optional botany alone ok, so we can study only two subjects for the IFIs and IAS ok, and recently we have very good result in the Indian forest service examination, so four candidates with the aggregation of the botany combination they cleared last year ok, all India ranked number 38, 51, 52 and 77 ok, so four candidates clear with aggregation of botany combination the recent Indian forest service combination ok, and one more thing I went to interview with agri botany combination ok, so I have gone to interview for five times three times for IAS with the agriculture and two times for Indian forest service with aggregation of the botany combination ok, so I can personally guide you we are not taking botany option here ok, but I can personally guide you for botany preparation ok right, so these are the advantages ok for agriculture choosing a rich optional right, so based on that you can decide ok, so whether it is suitable for all candidates ok, despite these advantages ok, so it is highly suitable for only agri graduates you can choose ok no problem right, so agri graduates they can choose and non-agri graduates with the science background BSE botany, BSE zoology ok, biotechnology, microbiology right, so and the allied subjects of agriculture, horticulture, forestry, BSE horticulture, BSE forestry ok, so those standards ok yeah, they can choose botany option, the agriculture optional and for engineering students if you have studied biology in your plus and plus 2 in the higher secondary ok, if you have studied biology or the biomass ok they can choose because paper 2 is little bit technical ok, paper 2 it covers the genetics, plan reading, seed technology, plan physiology ok, actually you might have studied the subjects in your plus and plus 2, the photosynthesis, the respiration ok, the Mendel's genetics, Mendel's loss of inheritance ok, so you can easily understand ok, if you have studied biology, the biomass in your plus and plus 2 higher secondary you can understand very easily ok in the paper 2, that is why I recommend even though ok you are engineering students you can choose agriculture optional ok, provided that you must have studied biology in your higher secondary ok, that is important and the students with the computer science I would not recommend ok, sir I have studied the biology up to 10th only ok, definitely it is not suitable for you ok, you can decide some other optionals ok and based on your personal interest ok, we will discuss ok, I will provide my personal number at the end of the session, we can you can also call me ok, if you have any doubts right ok, so this is our syllabus, so I declare that now we are going to our the subject specific ok, agriculture, the syllabus part and what we are providing ok in agriculture in a Shankarai Sakadini, so what are the specialties of the course ok, the features of this course right, so this is our syllabus for agriculture ok, paper 1 and paper 2, so paper 1, now whatever you are doing, most of the non-agric graduates they see only paper 1 ok, sir it is like GS, so we can easily prepare agriculture ok, that is our common part ok right, I agree ok, so paper 1 is a it is like a GS paper, the soil erosion, soil management ok, forestry, extension, so most of the topics are GS like nature ok, the nutrient management and the cropping system, cropping pattern, these are just again you will study in your GS, the GS paper 3 right ok, but the problem is paper 1 is very difficult to score, you can easily cover paper 1, but the scoring point of you it is very difficult ok, and paper 2 it is purely technical nature right, so mostly the agric graduates they can easily understand these subjects ok, and just know I told you with the biology background ok, students who have bought near the biology background they can easily understand right, so most of the papers in paper 2 are technical, so here our target is 300 ok, so here we can able to score more than 160 in paper 2 and the 140 around 140 is very good score in paper 1, so this is our target ok, but you can easily cover paper 1 ok, so for entire agriculture it will take around the 4 to 5 months to complete the entire syllabus right, and out of these 4 months ok, the 1 month just 1 month is enough to cover the paper 1, and the remaining 3 months will be needed for paper 2 ok, alright, so this is our target, so if you cross more than 140 and 160 in paper 1, paper 2 then definitely you can cross 300 ok, alright, and one more thing I want to say, see in UPSC ok, the one year preparation ok, so one year preparation, so you are a June batch ok, we are starting the July batch right, so in our preparation ok, so this is the time for your mains preparation ok, so this is the correct time for your mains preparation, so before December you have to complete the optional, and other the GS static portions ok, mains point of view, you have to prepare mains point of view at this time right, so before December you have to complete your mains preparation ok, then after December you can exclusively focus on our prelims preparation right, then after prelims again ok we go for the only at the time of the time gap between the prelims and the mains ok, you have only 2 to 3 months time gap, so in the time you have time only for revision right, so you can attempt a series ok, if you already prepared the optional before December then we can do only revision and we can attempt a series, this is the idea ok, alright for every students ok, this is the strategy for every not only agriculture ok, and optional usually this is the time for your optional preparation, you have the correct time ok, so July the 5 months time, so along with the course we conduct a class test, so along with the course you can also at the end of this course you can also complete the agriculture optional ok, alright and one more thing optional score is very very important ok, we cannot exactly determine the GS, it is not in your hands ok, because in a GS it is a common paper ok, say every year more than 10 lakhs candidates are appearing for a solution examination or more than 10,000 students they will write mains ok, so in the GS we cannot expect a very high score, it is not in your hands, sometimes you will get a very good score or sometimes low score ok, but the average score in GS you can get around 100 to 110 that is average score ok, but SA optional and interview these are the deciding factors ok, so if you are very good at scoring ok, the SA paper 140 around 150, 140 and optional above 300 ok, definitely you will get any one of the service, so your service is determined by optional score and your rank is determined by entry score ok, if you cross 280 above in optional definitely you will get entry call and if you score average marks in GS and SA definitely you get any one of the service ok, and your rank is determined by your entry score, the top 100 rank that is purely based on your entry score ok, so crossing 280 is very, very important ok, so optional has a huge weightage ok in this pattern right, so these are syllabus paper one most of the topics are GS like the ecology environment topic ok, ecology environment and agronomy this is a major subject in agriculture ok, the agronomy is nothing but the basic crop cultivation practices ok, so the weed science, cropping system, cropping pattern, irrigation ok those areas and the soil science studying about the soil and the forestry area, nutrient management application of the fertilizers ok those area and agriculture extension. So, they are the the extension agents ok, they are the the extension agents, so they provide a link between the scientist and the farmers ok, they are the field level agents ok, aggregate extension and the farm management ok, so how to run a farm like a business ok right, so these are the subjects in paper one and the paper two genetics plan breeding technical ok, genetics plan breeding seed technology, biotechnology, plant physiology, horticulture, entomology and pathology deals with the pest and disease management ok and the nutrition and the food security, but many agrigraduates they are hesitant to take agriculture because of the entomogen pathology, but don't worry about that ok, it's a very easy ok, so we can easily cover the entomogen pathology, ok right, so actually it's a very easy subject ok, we can easily cover a I will provide ok, I will give you how to cover those areas ok right. So ok, so what are the features of our course in our academy, see in fact ok, usually I recommend standard books for agriculture ok, there are a list of seven eight books are there for agriculture ok, the standard books, but the difficulty ok in my profile ok, I have gone to entry for five times ok and I miss the service by just nine marks or ten marks every year ok right, so the problem is I worked too much on optional subjects, almost I did research on optional subjects ok, during my 2010 level there are there are two subjects, two optional subjects in UPSC in the soul series itself ok, so at the time I got a 350 in geography, all in the level top score ok into 2010 ok and agriculture I scored more than 300 ok, I went to entry only because of my optional score, I didn't focus enough on GS preparation and SA preparation that's the problem ok, so almost I did a research on optional subject, I entirely I allotted more time for optional preparation, I got very good score but actually I didn't score well in the GS and SA that's the problem ok right, so just why that's why I missed the service narrowly by the nine marks ten marks ok right, so the difficulty the main difficulty in agriculture is you have to refer more than seven eight books apart from that you have to refer internet sources ok because many topics are not directly covered in the books ok, especially paper one right, so that's why to reduce the time ok, I have lost two years I have been working on this material ok, exclusively for agriculture a single comprehensive material for agriculture for both paper one and paper two, it's a 2000 page document, it covers the entire subjects ok, see the content in paper one ok, it covers the entire syllabus and paper two also a single document, single reference book for, you don't need to search the topics from the standard reference books, you don't need to waste your time ok, it saves a lot of your time for a single document all of that again and again ok because the revision is the key in order to score high marks ok, so you have to revise again and again that's all with the same material right ok, so in the class I will tell you how to prepare with this material ok right, how to proceed with this material I will tell you right ok, so you will get this material in the along with the course ok right, say a single reference ok, no need to refer any other books I can guarantee ok, hundred percent I can say this, you don't need to refer any other books for agriculture ok right, so because I prepared this material from the handbook of agriculture, handbook of agriculture and the internet source of the ministry websites everything ok right ok, so let's see a small topic, now let's see a demo class ok right, so cropping intensity, so there is a concept called in agriculture cropping intensity ok, agree students you know that right, cropping intensity right, what is cropping intensity in a simple terms we can say the number of crops grown in a year that is called a cropping intensity number of crops grown in a year, so here number of crop means not the actual number of crops ok, it's not a count ok, the number of crops means how many times you are cultivating the land in a year ok, how many times you are cultivating the land in a year that is called a number of crops ok, so for example in a suppose if you are owning a farm ok, you cultivate the land only one time in a year or 2 to 3 times ok, suppose as a farmer ok in the this is the season ok, the cariff season starts now ok, the is going on ok right, so from every year every year June is the the June to September that is the cariff season ok, so we have three seasons, so June to September that is the cariff season and November, December, Rabi season and the winter season and March to April ok, the February, March, April, science season ok, the summer season ok, basically in India we have three seasons in agriculture ok, so how you are cultivating the land ok, all three seasons ok, so if you are using the land for all three seasons then yearly you are utilizing the land three times ok, so three crops that means three crops in a year ok, approximately four months, so rice is a four months crop ok, for example the delta farmers in Tanjavur the Kavir delta region the farmers they use the land three times in a year ok, because rice is a four months crop, so they grow rice at June to September ok, the cariff season, Rabi season and the winter season sorry the summer season ok, so three seasons in a year or this is called the three crops ok right, so the cropping intensity, so how we effectively utilize the land in India that is called the cropping intensity, how many number of crops we are growing in a particular year ok, so at present the average of the cropping intensity in India is around 140 percentage, so this is the cropping intensity in India, so what is the meaning of it 140 percentage that means we are utilizing land 1.4 times on an average ok right, so the formula cropping intensity grass cropped area divided by net zone area ok, so this is the formula for cropping intensity, grass cropped area divided by net zone area, so what is the grass cropped area and the net zone area, net zone area ok, this is the grass cropped area ok, so the net zone area in India is around 148 million hectares ok, around 150 million hectares almost more than 40 percentage of total land area ok, in India the total geographical area of India is 328 million hectares ok, out of this around 148 million hectares are net zone area that means the area available for cultivation, the agricultural land area that is the net zone area ok, it's around the 40 percentage of our total jar of the area ok, so that is the net zone area and the grass cropped area area used for cultivation in a year ok, how many times you are utilizing the land ok, suppose if you are having one hectare of land ok, if you are having one hectare of land ok, if you are growing the one hectare of land is called the net zone area ok, because the one hectare of land is available for cultivation ok, that is the net zone area right, if the same land area the one hectare of land is utilized in a how many times in a year ok, if you are growing crops three crops in a year June to September again you are cultivating the land for another crop ok, first we grow rice and then we grow pulses and then we grow some vegetables ok, so three crops in a year are all three seasons rice only ok, first season rice, second season rice, third season rice right, so you are utilizing the land three times, so your grass cropped area is three hectare ok, so in a year the net zone area it won't change ok, it's the actual land area available for cultivation and the grass crop area how many times you are utilizing the land ok, so it's three hectares, if you are utilizing the land three times three hectares or only one time I grow only one crop in a year one hectare both are same or two crops in a year sometimes the farmers ok they grow rice and the second season they grow pulses and the third season they leave the land fallow, fallow means without any cultivation ok, so two crops in a year so two hectares, so the cropping intensity will vary 100 percent if you are growing two crops in a year 200 percentage if you are growing three crops in a year crop percentage will become 300 percentage ok into 100, so three hectares not only one hectare into 100 300 percentage ok, so this is how we are working out the cropping intensity ok right, so why it is important ok at present again in India the cropping intensity is 140 percentage that means 1.4 times ok it's around 140 percent why it is important at this juncture ok recently why are you talking about the cropping intensity because this is the in the future ok, so we are going to surpass China in the world's largest popular country ok, so in future we cross China ok, overcome China, China overcome by the world ok alright, so for the future food security in order to secure the the future generations of food security we have to increase the number of cropping ok, we have to produce more right, so for that we have to utilize the land more effectively ok this is about the crop intensity is about utilize the land more effectively ok, so if you if you can able to grow more crops in a year then we can produce maximum we can produce more we can increase our production ok that secures our the food security we can increase our food food production right, so that's why the cropping intensity is very very important, but why it is not 300 percentage yeah just to 1.4 ok 140 percentage, so the biggest limiting factor eh irrigation ok, so the biggest limiting factor in reducing the cropping intensity is water availability there are so many factors ok, but the biggest factor is water availability, so the Calvary Delta farmers they can able to raise 3 crops in a year because of it's located in the Calvary Delta region ok, so they they get rain ok they get the through the canal irrigation, so they get the water source throughout the year whereas in the central part of India in Rajasthan ok, so the drier parts of the India they depend only on monsoon for the rainfall is the only source of irrigation ok, so the those year regions they have don't the adequate facility of irrigation ok, they have depend only on rainfall ok, so the rainfall produced just at 4 months period June to September this is the effective rainfall period in India ok, so they can cultivate the land only during the the cariff season the monsoon season the remaining season it's very dry they cannot able to cultivate the crop ok, so for those the dry land farmers they are called a dry land farmers or rain food farmers because they depend only on rainfall ok, so for those farmers they can cultivate the crop only the land only for one time that is during the the cariff season the monsoon season ok, in those regions the crop industry just 100 percentage whereas in the Calvary Delta region the crop industry is around 300 percentage ok, so if you work out on an average it is around a 140 percentage ok, so the crop industry is very very important to meet our food security demands for that we have to increase our irrigation potential ok, well on the concept ok, actually we have this data we have this data the net zone area ok, total area under cultivation and we have the crops crop area yeah definitely differs from crop to crop ok, but not all the crops most of the crops are not annual crops, most of the crops are field crops 3 months crop 4 months crop ok, some exceptions will be there ok, for sugarcane it's an annual crop since it's an annual crop the crop industry is 100 percent only because we calculate only for yearly basis only ok, it comes under only 100 percentage only for annual crops average yeah yeah we can work out for each and every crop we can work out ok, at the same time overall we can also work out overall the net zone we have we have the data net zone area under grass crop area so overall this is the overall percentage sugarcane for annual crops it is 100 percent only ok, but annual crops are very less right, most of the crops are pulses, oil seeds, millets, cereals ok, so mostly in agriculture in the paper one most of the topics are like gs ok, and a very few concepts the concepts are mostly in the soil science area soil science, nutrient management ok, in those area that's some conceptual area ok, otherwise the remaining topics are very easy you can easily simply you can read and understand the subject, but in paper 2 many topics are conceptual ok, in the genetics, plant breeding, plant physiology they are concept oriented ok, so for concepts I will explain clearly ok, and moreover in our batch many now ok, 50-50 rupees almost ok, and the agri non agri students right, so we start from the very basic from the scratch ok, for on again not to understand easily the non agri students I will teach from the very basics of agriculture ok, I will explain all the concepts very clearly, for the factual area you can read the notes ok, I will give you idea ok, how to cover the factual area and the conceptual area I will explain clearly ok, so we cover the entire syllabus don't worry, you will find the 5 months ok, we cover the entire syllabus ok, all right, and while discussing this topic I will link the current affairs, where you have to link current affairs ok, mostly for the environmental topic we have to link with the current affairs the what's going on recently ok, because we have a climate change, greenhouse effect, global warming, it's part of our syllabus agriculture ok, so in that area we have to link with the current affairs ok, only few areas in agriculture we need current affairs ok, I will tell you, so in our class weekdays class ok, it's a regular class weekday ok, so 60 to 830 timing Monday to Friday ok, and in our class after completion of each subject ok, so we go by a paper round paper 2 alternatively ok, so first class will be from paper 1 and the next class will be from paper 2 ok, so after completion of each subject we conduct a test ok, if you complete a weed science then we conduct a class test on weed science ok, so we conduct a class test material and I will also share the answer copy, so top of answer copy how to write ok, the answer rating session and every day after each class ok, I will provide one question, one model question 10 months, 20 months, 15 months ok, the next day we will discuss that question ok, I will give you daily answer rating practice, apart from the test ok, test is separate apart from that we also have answer rating practice every day ok, so this

So, for current affairs do not worry about ok that is why I told you ok, in the agriculture the advantage the humanity subjects and agriculture in the humanity subjects you have to follow current affairs very closely because most of the questions the public administration, political science, so in this topic ok, you have to closely follow current affairs, so most of the questions are linked with the current affairs ok, but here in agriculture no need to worry about current affairs, in a regular anyhow you have to study current affairs for G's preparation that is enough, no need to exclusively follow current affairs for agriculture because it is a technically subject, so you have to provide you have to give the answer what is given in the notes that is enough. Ok, no need to write the latest research because there are a lot of research going on agriculture, genetics biotech and all that is going on, research is going on ok, we cannot write all those right, just you have to provide what is given in the sanate textbooks that is enough ok, yes all classes are recorded only ok, so in our academy we provide a separate students ID portal ok, there will be a separate students portal will be there and all the classes the recorded classes are the recordings are available in the students portal, you can watch it at any time. Yes ok, for a Delhi branch we are going to start batch from August offline batch, August first week ok, so next week we have orientation session for a Delhi branch and from August first week onwards we have a regular class at Delhi ok. See either you have to refer the standard reference books ok or my material ok, I can say that my material is more than sufficient ok, 100% I can guarantee you ok, so it is more than sufficient to cover the entire syllabus ok, if you are not satisfied or if you are comfortable with your standard textbooks we can go with that no problem ok, I will provide the list of the standard reference books for each and every topic ok right, so you can also buy the all the books are available in Amazon ok, you can buy the standard reference books ok right, but you should not compare, you should not do that ok, either you have to prepare with our material or you have to prepare with the standard reference books ok, so you should not do that, other than the class notes ok, I will provide an addition to the material in our class for the discussion ok, now I am talking only a topic ok, every topic I will provide some extra points, so you have to prepare with our class notes and the material ok, so in the class I will provide an answer structure, so how to present your answer ok, what are the possible questions from this topic ok, so based on that you have to prepare your notes, you have to take notes from the material ok, diagram is very very important, how can be a signed subject without diagram ok, diagram is very very important ok, if you if you draw a diagram well ok and the especially paper 2 ok, then definitely there is a chance ok, you will get very good score in optional. Yeah, agriculture engineer ok, allied subjects they can choose, allied ok, agriculture engineering, biotechnology, microbiology and the horticulture ok, they can choose no problem, so for OBC 9 times yeah ok, 9 attempts are there ok, for OBC 9 attempts up to 35 years age, 9 attempts for each ok, IFO is for 9 attempts, IIS is for 9 attempts ok, if you select both then attempts definitely attempts both are there, common problems for IIS and IFO is there yeah, but that is the correct strategy, we cannot prepare separately, in the year I am going to prepare only for IIS, then next year I am going to only prepare for IFO is that you cannot do, only R is suitable, suppose if you are an engineering graduate you are choosing some other optional apart from agriculture, in that case we can decide ok, but if you are an agree graduate with the agree optional, then this is the correct way ok, so you have to offer both ok, now you have to prepare the same of the option, agriculture option is same, GS portions are same, everything is same, yes say everything is same ok, except that in the IFO is you have to prepare one more optional, that we can do after the completion of CS mains, we will have one and a half months time between the CS mains and IFO mains, say in the time period we can cover, other than that I can provide you how to prepare for botany, I will guide you ok, because last time I met 4 students ok, all are agree botany combination, they did not go for coaching for botany, they attended the coaching only for agriculture ok, so with my guidance they cleared with the agree botany combination, so my suggestion is you have to opt for both ok, so especially agree graduates will agree optional ok, that is a good idea, because one of the many students which they last year they cleared both ok, one of my student Karthikeyanine in 2018 ok, so they cleared both in this IFO is the topper, she got IPS, but she decided to choose IFO is, because she will get the tomato caterer, she got tomato caterer ok, so what they did, she chose IFO is ok, there is a chance ok, you will clear both, you will clear both, you will clear both, you will clear both, you will clear both, you will clear both, you will clear both, you will clear both. I will check your answers, so everyday we after the class we provide a model question and we discuss the next day ok, the answer for that question, yeah ok, after the class you can meet me no problem ok, I will come to academy regularly and even Saturday Sunday I will be available ok in the academy, so after the students we can meet me ok, personally no problem alright and if you have any doubts ok, this is my contact number, so still you have any doubts in choosing optional, if you have any confusion you can call me ok, so 9786618217 ok, this is my personal number, you can give me a message and call me, I will give you ok, thank you, so you have given that number right, if you have any doubts you can ask me ok right, not only for agriculture, no matter what option it is ok, if there is any confusion in choosing optional or something else basic or the GS preparation or whatever it is, you are a freshers right ok, so the preparation start is the basic idea ok, you can call me no problem right
