Read about The UPSC Mains Strategy & Prep Webinar

f you are writing Mains for UPSC 2025 or Preparing for 2026, you have probably realised this already, the Mains paper isn’t what it used to be. The kind of GS questions being asked, especially in GS1 and GS3, have become trickier, layered, and more conceptual. The old school method of writing answers with a plain Introduction Body Conclusion doesn’t work anymore. And if you are still holding on to it, you are unknowingly keeping your scores stuck in the average zone.

This is why we are hosting a special session with Lavanya Gaur (AIR 57, UPSC CSE 2024) on 4th July at 7 PM. She is going to walk you through how she handled the most challenging GS1 and GS3 questions using what we now call the Theme-Demand Approach. This isn’t just theory. It’s a strategy shaped by actual Mains experience and refined by observing patterns in UPSC’s evolving question design.

What exactly is the Theme-Demand approach? It’s a powerful way to break down complex GS questions by identifying the core theme and understanding the examiner’s demand, which is often hidden beneath generic wording. It allows you to move beyond the surface and write answers that actually score.

Lavanya will share how this helped her structure crisp, relevant, and enriched answers even when the questions felt vague or multi dimensional. You will learn how to rewire your Mains strategy, not just in terms of structure, but also how you analyse questions, recall content, and frame arguments.

If you are aiming to improve your GS scores this year or even laying your foundation for 2026, this session can change how you look at Mains preparation. It’s free, live, and packed with actionable insights. Join the session on 4th July at 7PM.
