When I started preparing for UPSC, I made the same mistake most aspirants do, I read everything, but I didn’t study what UPSC actually asks.

It took me two attempts to realise that toppers don’t study more, they study smarter, and that begins with PYQs.

Every UPSC question is a continuation of an older question, the language changes, the context evolves, but the core idea stays the same.

If you can decode that pattern and make your notes around it, you automatically become Mains ready.

In this session, I will show you how to turn ten years of PYQs into actionable, crisp notes that form the base of your Mains preparation for 2026.

Soumya Ranjan Dash, IRS, AIR 136, UPSC CSE 2022

What I will cover live:

How to decode UPSC’s question trends
We will break down years of PYQs across GS Papers and see how recurring themes shape UPSC’s framing style.

Turning PYQs into Notes
I will explain a simple process to convert PYQs into structured notes, linking each question to its conceptual theme, related reports, and current affairs.

Creating Thematic Notes that Cut Across Papers
How to connect topics like governance, ethics, and environment across GS papers so that your notes reflect integration, not isolation.

Avoiding the Common Pitfalls in Note Making
Why summarising PDFs or compiling toppers’ notes won’t help, and what a genuine, exam focused note actually looks like.

Building a PYQ based Revision Framework
How to revise smartly, using the 70-20-10 method: 70% recurring themes, 20% evolving issues, 10% surprises.

Examples from My Own Prep Journey
How I built my GS notes from PYQs and how that helped me write precise, analytical answers that fetched me AIR 136.

Why attend this session:

You will stop reading everything and start reading what matters.
You will learn how to think like UPSC, not just study for it.
You will get a replicable system to turn content into Mains ready notes.
You will walk away with a 3 month PYQ note making plan designed for UPSC 2026.
