Merit to be determined on GS - I

UPSC has more or less reverted to pre-2011 status.

Govt needs to be applauded on this decision - better late than never !

We urge the aspirants to focus more on core General Studies. But, they should also practice about One GS II paper in 1 - 2 weeks to remain in touch - depending upon their Strengths & Weaknesses.
