Thank you sir. The DPN notes were very comprehensive and useful. I used it to supplement my newspaper knowledge. It really helped in dealing with the current affairs portion of the prelims exam, since you compile it from so many sources. Would recommend students to maintain their own digital notes using that source.
After I didn’t clear first prelims, I joined your mains master notes which helped me identify key areas for note making.
Thank you sir for your relentless effort in updating these notes. They’re helpful for the aspirants. (Ishita Kishore)
