31th July @ 5:00 pm | Harmonizing UPSC and State PSC exam preparation | Realistic Preparation, Practical Strategies by Kunal Gaurav | Click below and register for the session
We know the journey to crack the UPSC exam is no cakewalk. That’s why many of you adopt a smart Plan B strategy, preparing for multiple exams simultaneously. And hey, can you blame anyone? State PSC exams like UPPSC, MPSC, RPSC, BPSC, etc share almost identical patterns, syllabus, and exam cycle with UPSC, making it a logical move.
Now, with UPSC being super competitive and offering limited vacancies, exploring state-level exams like UPPSC (Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission) as an alternative option totally makes sense. It’s like widening your horizons, right?
