How my Content and Mock Test Performed?

This was the first year of providing Material, Mentorship and Mock Test for Phase II and I can tell you with confidence that we fared well compared to big coaching institutes who give 4000 pages of content and claim all came from their course. 

We provided Descriptive Mock Test for Phase II and also 100 Model Answers were provided and along with that continuous support from Telegram channel was provided from last 6 months in mentoring students in writing better answers and descriptive English.

Apart from this we also provided PIB Programs and Policy, RBI, SEBI Circulars, Reports, and Mains Exam Articles. I had recommended Climate Change, ONDC, Big 5 Model of Personality and had also provided the content on it and question directly in exam.

Below I'm sharing analysis of the content:

BIG5 and ONDC was not only covered as Question multiple times but also provided detailed content and also Covered ONDC in PIB Summary in detail as well as BIG5 in 100 Model Answers Part I PDF, 

Answers on Big5 was also provided under in model answers of 3rd Weekly Mock Test.

Similarly, Retail Direct Scheme was covered in RBI/SEBI Circulars PDF but the challenge mat have been to write 600 words, I won't lie, the amount of content provided by me on this in recent times (2023) was not sufficient enough to write 600 Words, although back in 2021 when Modi had launched, I had covered it in detail but I don't think that would be counted.

- UPI and Financial Inclusion as well as Initiatives on Rupay UPI Credit cards have been covered well (Moderate, Question has been asked based on mixed information) 

- Henry Fayol (Covered in Management Sheet and also given as Question but not provided any model answer on it) 

- Code of Conduct (Not covered anywhere)

Economics and Social Issue Descriptive Answer Writing Questions

If I talk about my Content on these Topics then a 15 Marks Question on UNDP report was from October 2022 and at that time I was not covering Reports and Indices in my PIB so that's a shocker and bouncer.

• Currency and Finance Report - Covered in Detail. (From Most recommended list) 
• Monetary Policy - Covered (Easy, Covered)
• Poverty And Employment Scheme (Easy, Covered)
• World Migration Report - Only report has been covered but question was based on it not directly on it.
• Challenges by Start - Up (Could be answered as sufficient information has been provided on start up topic)

Appreciation by Students (Till now 7:30 PM on 30th July, 30 Messages of appreciation have come, sharing few)

That's all for now, Good Luck, Wish you all best, hope you clear it.

This exam is over, now lets focus on NABARD Grade A 2023.
