How to use these guides
We deliberately wrote these as compact reference articles rather than as a full textbook. Use them in three passes:
- First read — go through the entire guide once at normal speed. Highlight or note the names, dates, articles and statistics that you don't already know.
- Apply — open the matching paper on the /exams page and attempt 10–15 PYQs on the same topic. Score yourself with the instant grader.
- Revise — re-read only the bullet points and tables. The guides are structured so the second pass takes a quarter of the time of the first.
About the source material
Every guide is written using the official MPSC syllabus, NCERT textbooks (Classes 6–12 for History, Geography and Polity), the Constitution of India bare act, and the Government of Maharashtra's public statistical handbooks and Economic Surveys. Where we quote a fact (population figures, capacity numbers, dates), we use the most recent publicly available figure at the time of writing. Spotted something out of date?
