3. Economics

I had a lot of issues in Economics in my 1st attempt, there was no single good source and Mrunal sir's material was bulky. Then I found this lifesaver.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGjov8wjG8mxPQRVa73ApxoTBCGU9xS2o&si=h7tVlu093kRlgqcF

This is a playlist of 119 classes( on an avg 10 mins each) made by an IAS officer Akshay Agarwal sir. He made economy very simple. Classes are bilingual and are not very bulky. He focuses on the conceptual clarity in a way that anyone can understand the basics of Economics.

This was my base material for Economy, make notes while you watch his classes. Later keep adding in those notes from various mock tests you give along the way. That is what I did for Economics for Prelims. You can follow this approach if you are targeting 2026 or later.

For people targeting 2025 Prelims I'd not recommend changing your source at this moment, however if you feel you lack conceptual clarity in some topics you can refer those videos selectively.

FOR MAINS

I personally followed Dipin sir's Current Affairs classes for economy and GS3. Economy for mains is very different than Economy for Prelims.

Although I've not personally followed it but have heard good reviews about 1. Akshay Agarwal sir Mains playlist( available for free on the same YT channel ) 2. Shivin sir's GS3 course( paid course on Sarrthi IAS ). You can follow either of these 2 for mains.
