Sir what opttlional should be choosen that works for both IAS IFS i am mechanical engineer with ias optional geography, do geology conforms with geography??
Geology and geography are quite different. IFoS and CSE both has geology as one possible optinal. The other could be mechanical engineering or other science subject.
What optional shd be chosen for ifs, one being mech engineering my ias optional being geography.
Anything that is easy and relates to geography
Geology is closest to geography. But I always suggest that your one optional in IFoS should be forestry. So you can choose geology+forestry.
Sir please guide on how to prepare for forestry optional
Please check other posts too https://abhisheksurana.wordpress.com/2017/06/21/ifos-forestry-optional/
Is Forestry+mechanical good combination?
Yes you can go for that.
Geology+mech
Vs forestry+mech
Vs geology+forestry(not comfortable both are new).
Forestry+mech

Hello sir , I am preparing for CSE 2019 I have 3 queries
1 how one should start answer writing practice whether I will write daily 2 , 3 answers daily or I will join test series like vision ias .
2 how many mock tests are sufficient for prelims. because this time prelims paper 2018 is tough
3 Which sources I would follow for mains answer writing and prelims mock tests.
KINDLY ENLIGHTEN ME SIR .
I’ve shared ethics revision notes in the post related to gs4. Have a look
For 1-2 months daily 2-3 answers and then test series. 20-30 mock test for prelims. Standard sources – vision, forum, insights, gs score, vajiram, sriram. Choose your pick.
Thanks sir.

Hello Sir,
I have completed B.sc. (Hons) Physics from Delhi University. I have noticed that the theory part of the syllabus can be covered from reference books but I want to know that can we cover numerical part from reference books? or for numericals part, Should I go through any coaching material?
Actually I want to know how do we prepare for numericals for cse?
for numericals you can refer to last 15 years paper. that will give you an idea of type of questions being asked.
sir.. what should one study for gk preparation for ifos… as IAS syllabus is vast for gs papers…. n every coaching center is providing IAS GS preparation.
nothing beyond IAS GS imho
