A Structured, High-Discipline Initiative for Serious Aspirants Preparing For Mains’26
We are looking for a small group of serious aspirants preparing for Mains 2026, who have already covered the basics but are still not able to translate their preparation into consistent, high-quality answer writing. We specifically want to work with aspirants who have studied sincerely, have gone through standard GS material, and yet find themselves unable to produce structured, exam-ready answers across all four GS papers.
The objective of this 75-day initiative is simple: to help you build the discipline, structure and consistency needed to cross the 450+ mark in General Studies.
If you are preparing for Mains 2026 and you already have your basics in place, the next 75 days can define your entire attempt. The purpose of this programme is simple: to put you through a disciplined, carefully sequenced routine that builds your Mains answer-writing ability, improves content depth, and gets you exam-ready.
Apply For Smash Mains 2026 –75 days Plan
Over the past few years, we have seen a clear pattern in our results. Many of our top performers including those who secured ranks in earlier attempts and again found themselves in the Top 100 in 2024 were students who engaged in sustained, high-quality answer writing with us. When students combine disciplined practice with guided improvement, their scores in General Studies rise sharply.
We have tested and refined our approach quietly over the years. We are convinced that with the right direction, the right mindset, the right daily effort securing a top rank is not only possible but predictable. The purpose of the Smash Mains 75-Day Plan is to help you achieve exactly that by building the foundation for a top score in General Studies.
This programme is designed to help you cultivate mains exam skills, in a systematic manner, over 75 disciplined days. If you are willing to work every single day, follow the schedule, write answers, and internalise feedback, this plan will help you move from scattered preparation to targeted performance in Mains 2026.
Why This 75-Day Plan Exists
Most aspirants know the syllabus. Many even write answers.
But very few achieve consistency, structure, and exam-relevant content across all four GS papers.

Over the next 75 days, you will:
- cover each GS theme with intent
- focus on high-probability areas
- write regularly
- get feedback that actually tells you what to change
