Status of "leaked" syllabus : Public Administration modan 2 years ago
edited October 2015
in Public Administration
Hello all Many of you might be aware of the lively discussions this forum had after last years mains examination on the story of a "leaked" syllabus for public administration. Being in the midst of our optional preparation, I(many of us i presume) would like to know what is the status of that leaked syllabus. Of course I am not asking if there is any official notification or not. I would like to know what my fellow forum members think about it? Are you people serious about it? Have you analysed the said syllabus with last years question paper? And has anyone found sources to cover those extra portions?
