great job admin..

please suggest some sources to get more on Assam history linked to Freedom struggle and independence and personalities related .
@Mandira,
Don’t give up! Continue your preparation and appear in the exam with confidence. And don’t forget to appear in other exams too. With the same preparation you can compete in UPSC or other competitive exams. Despite anomalies, APSC recruits some candidates purely on the basis of merit. But that’s not enough. The recent allegations and protests created a few ripples in civil society. Take it as a positive sign. Maybe the system will change someday!
Dear Sir …i have a question regarding this apsc recruitment system even though I am preparing for the cce still feel like this not for people like us who doesn’t belong to any high profile family…as lots of controversies and allegations have been made against this system and also some social activists are providing wth evidence tht the system is fully corrupted and nepotism is everywhere..so tell me one thing what is the use of preparing to get the highly respected jobs on merit ???shall we give up dreaming to become a civil servant???
Hoping to see some on Economics too.
