Hello Mr P.Shankar, thanks for your visit on the blog….regarding the source of GS…I suggest you to not to search unconventional sources because it will waste your time and energy…Go for conventional sources onnly as successful candidates have dependent on these sources only…Though Internet is a good source of information but at the same time it is ‘information over load’ too which is a big ‘NO’ for any serious CSE aspirants…you need to understand the need of the exam to qualify…you need not be a topper in PRE….you need to qualify it…so I will suggest that you should depend on conventional sources e.g. India year book,Manorma,NCERT etc….regarding questions in CSE-09 pre…there will always be some questions which may not be available in conventional sources….some of these questions are better left unanswered….though you can get some answers from Atlas,Manorma GK part,Lucent GK ,Tata Macgraw GK or spectrum GK….in any case you can qualify in Pre by attempting 75 Q. in GS and optional…so no need to worry about some very tough questions….your benefit to effort ratio should be balanced…this way you can save your energy with guaranteed success….regarding preference to IFS, it is indeed a highly coveted service which provides excellent career opportunities,stay abroad,good working environment,high level contacts,money ,etc…but it depends on individual choice…if you want highly sophisticated and elite life style, you can go for it… many candidates are not opting for it due to it’s maximum career is away from home land, no touch with common people ,etc which is very much a part of IAS and IPS….so it is not the fault of service as such but it is a matter of individual choice…..The seats for IFS is bound to increase in near future due to growing clout of India in international affairs…….further query is welcome….keep blogging….
