Pro tip for Geography Answers

After interacting with many toppers, seeing their answers I discovered: In geography questions: Compulsorily Make a map Try making a schematic and figures. Include examples from india and world too ( if possible) Cover different dimension on questions on geographical features. Extensively use keywords in the answer.

During ANSWER Writing KEEP few things in MIND

Always strive to complete your paper.  Instead of writing few very good answers write all answers even if they are average.  If you have a poor handwriting work on it. More easier it is for the examiner to read and understand your copy, more marks you are likely to get.  Try to finish every sheet you get in the answer booklet because it provides an impression to the examiner that you know things. We all know that examiners do not read every word you have written.

Your improvement over the tests does.  Always analyze your test copy after it has been evaluated by someone. Mentally frame some improvements you would like to try in the next mock.  Diagrams, flow chart, maps do help in better pres...

HOW TO ATTEMPT THE GS PAPER

Firstly , attempt 15 mark questions —-within 15 mark question choose 8 que (you can do this within 5 min given to you before you can actually start writing ). These 8 que. are the one on which you are confident to write good. Secondly , go all out for 10 marker questions  Thirdly attempt 2 que. you left od 15 marks ones  Always keep an eye on watch after each que. attempt so that you are always knowing whether you have to speed up or write at the same place. (third option don't exist —-you never have to slow down 😆) —These timing you will frame for yourself when you are giving mock tests  Always underline important things , committee recommendations , data , statistics etc. will fetch extra marks.

Difference between Arbitration, Conciliation and Mediation

Arbitration, Conciliation and Mediation are the main Alternative Dispute Resolution Mechanism which is generally adopted to resolve disputes in an informal manner. Arbitration is the process by which parties select an independent person, who renders a decision regarding the case. Conciliation attempts to make parties come to an agreement about the problem at hand.
