Note making is an integral part of any optional, more so for Economics where material is already scarce. It helps to integrate what one has read, categorise it according to syllabus and provides a handy tool to revise
Therefore, in line with the works of my seniors and previous toppers, let me also share my Economics 2 notes, for the benefit of the aspirants. It is in digital One Note format. In all honesty, my notes are basically derived from that of Gaurav sir, Abhimanyu Sir, Tejasvi mam, and I can’t thank them enough. But, on top of it I have added my own points and I have categorised it according to syllabus.
These notes were made keeping in mind my own strengths and weaknesses. So, it is possible that not everyone may be comfortable with it. But, if even 1 person finds it helpful, I will consider myself very fortunate 🙂

Hello Sir, it is been suggested that we should interlink Paper 1 concepts with paper 2 and vice versa. I would want to know can we do the same in our GS paper 3 too? As in would it be good to cite models name or some reference in GS paper 3? Would that complicate the answer unnecessarily given it is General studies?
Thanks and Congratulations!

No, its not recommended. GS 3 answers are meant to be simple and diverese. But, do, try to add data / examples wherever you can

Hello sir, In notes of economics optional paper 2, in the section on industry you’ve mentioned that the growth rates are wrong and need to be altered. I wanted to ask if you have already corrected them or if we need to do it. Also, if we need to correct it, can you please specify which rates are wrong?
I know the doubt might seem silly to you. But if you could get time to answer, it will be of immense help to me.
Thanks.
