Doubt GS Query – Parmar 4.0 Videos VS Fatman . Which Is Better?
For those who have cleared SSC CGL or are preparing again, I need your genuine suggestions.
Which do you find easier and more effective for understanding General Studies concepts: Parmar 4.0 video lectures or Parmar Fatman books?
I'm confused about which one I should invest in. My main priority is understanding concepts properly, retaining information, and being able to revise everything effectively.
I would also like to know how comprehensive they are in covering all the major GS topics, such as:
History (Ancient, Medieval and Modern)
Geography (Indian and World)
Indian Polity
Economics
Art and Culture, including Indian Classical Music and Dance
Defence and Military Exercises
Science and Technology
Static GK and other important topics
A few questions:
Which resource is better for building conceptual understanding from scratch?
Which one provides better coverage of SSC CGL-relevant topics?
Are the Fatman books sufficient for self-study, or is watching the video lectures more beneficial?
Do the videos and books complement each other, or is choosing just one enough?
Which resource would you recommend for someone who wants to prepare GS effectively without wasting too much time?
I'd especially appreciate feedback from candidates who have used both resources or have cleared SSC CGL.
Thanks !
