    The features of the test are as follows:

    Our open tests have the highest hit ratios because we follow 2 simple principles, 5 categories, and 80 themes.

    1. 5 categories of questions  

    The actual UPSC prelims paper can be said to follow broadly 5 categories – 1.⁠ ⁠Core, 2.⁠ ⁠Non-core, 3.⁠ ⁠Logical, 4.⁠ ⁠Ultra-hard (Skippable), 5.⁠ ⁠Surprising. We are aligning very closely with this distribution. 

    1.⁠ ⁠Core: These questions are from core sources like standard books, monthly magazines, and Atomic Notes. You are expected to answer ALL of these questions correctly. 

    [2023] Consider the following organizations/ bodies in India:

    1.⁠ ⁠The National Commission for Backward Classes

    2.  The National Human Rights Commission

    3.  The National Law Commissions

    4.  The National Consumer Disputes Redressal CommissionHow many of the above are constitutional bodies?

    (a) Only one

    (b) Only two

    (c) Only three

    (d) All four

    2.⁠ ⁠Non-core: These questions are 1 level above what is present in core sources. E.g. Political Parties during the freedom movement, Ancient Medieval terms, and terms around Buddhism Jainism.  

    [2023] Consider the following statements:

    1.⁠ ⁠India has more arable area than China.

    2.⁠ ⁠The proportion of irrigated area is more in India as compared to China.

    3.⁠ ⁠The average productivity per hectare in Indian agriculture is higher than that in China.

    How many of the above statements are correct?

    (a) Only one

    (b) Only two

    (c)  All three

    (d) None

    3.⁠ ⁠Logical: Not solvable by knowledge alone but through logical approach. 

    [2023] Consider the following statements:

    1.⁠ ⁠Some mushrooms have medicinal properties.

    2.⁠ ⁠Some mushrooms have psychoactive properties

    How many of the above statements are correct?

    (a) Only one

    (b) Only two

    (c) Only three

    (d) All four

    4.⁠ ⁠Ultra-hard (Skippable): Needs to be skipped (if attempted by student, it’s a case of over-attempt. Because knowing what not to attempt is as important as knowing what to attempt. 

    [2023] Consider the following fauna:

    1.⁠ ⁠Lion-tailed Macaque

    2.⁠ ⁠Malabar Civet

    3.⁠ ⁠Sambar Deer

    How many of the above are generally nocturnal or most active after sunset?

    (a)  Only one

    1.⁠ ⁠Chhattisgarh

    2.⁠ ⁠Madhya Pradesh

    3.⁠ ⁠Maharashtra

    4.⁠ ⁠Odisha

    With reference to the States mentioned above, in terms of percentage of forest cover to the total area of State, which one of the following is the correct ascending order?

    (a) 2-3-1-4

    (b) 2-3-4-1

    (c) 3-2-4-1

    (d) 3-2-1-4

    2. 80 most repeated UPSC themes 

    We are being very precise. We won’t ask you a broad question on Species. 

    When it comes to high-profile species like tigers, elephants, and other critically endangered species, UPSC is asking for conservation efforts or behavioural patterns. We will ask you something similar. We are this detail-oriented. 

    This is true for all subjects. For instance, in Economics, detailed questions on inflation, bonds, differentiated banks, etc. are more difficult. 

    We have 80 detailed themes and our questions will be framed on similar lines. 

    [CSP2017]Q. The term ‘M-STrIPES’ is sometimes seen in the news in the context of

    (a)Captive breeding of Wild Fauna

    (b)Maintenance of Tiger Reserves

    (c)Indigenous Satellite Navigation System

    [CSP2020]Q. Among the following Tiger Reserves, which one has the largest area under “Critical Tiger Habitat”?

    (a) Corbett

    (b) Ranthambore

    (c) Nagarjunsagar-Srisailam

    Aaditya, IAS, AIR 48 on Atomic Notes

    Atomic Notes is not your regular monthly magazine. Most regular monthly magazines are covering broad topics and missing the prelims focus required. They are bulky and not revision-ready.

    Atomic Notes will ensure that everything you need to repeatedly revise and memorize is in one place. The best part, they are free to download and are available in PDF format for easy access.

    Atomic Notes is the *only* Monthly CA you should refer to. Add new sources once you have covered Atomic Notes 100% end to end.

    1. Keyword-oriented to-the-point. Ensure maximum hit ratio in prelims and value-addition in mains.
    2. Designed for repeated revisions. 35-40 pages, 110-120 news items.
    3. Segregated sub-sections. eg. environment section is divided into species, protected areas, etc.  
    4. Covers The Hindu, Indian Express, PIB, and various other sources. Link to the parent story present.
    5. Strictly syllabus-based with a special focus on facts, data, committees, international news, etc.

    Every topper has attempted UPSC Prelims PYQs. In fact many toppers have spent 3-4 months analyzing prelims questions. Needless to say, without attempting PYQs, you wont be able. PYQs are important because-

    1. Only through PYQs you get a clue about what and how UPSC is thinking. Without PYQs you will keep working on your own assumptions and that will not yield results.
    2. You understand the high-priority themes for UPSC. You can’t be studying like an 11th or 12th grader and then expect to clear the exam. These are not boards.
    3. Within those high-priority themes, the depth and dimensions being asked are very important. You have to closely observe them.
    4. Undertanding question framing, options.
    5. Attempting PYQs means simulating real exam conditions. Each question will appear like a bouncer. But can’t duck. You need to take shots.

    Once you attempt the PYQs, you will be emailed your attempt along with detailed explanations. The solution has been upgraded using UPSC answer key. We suggest you start attempting the paper from 2013. By the time to reach 2021, 2022 your marks should see an improvement.

    In the last 3 years, a lot of things have changed about UPSC-CSE preparation. Core books like NCERTs, Laxmikanth are a great starting point but they need to be substituted with your own notes that are precise and help you recall everything.

    Every Topper has put in an extraordinary effort to streamline their notes. It was an obsession. It took them multiple iterations and failed attempts to finally get to a version that helped them cut down on the revision time and remove the dependency on the core books. 

    Take the example of Council Acts that you start with. You need to understand

    1. How the executive/legislature has been evolving with each act, and their powers. 
    2. The new bodies being created BOC, COD, and their mandates.   
    3. How were the Provinces being impacted?
    4. Finally, the key features and points to note for each Act.

  • Harappan Civilization – Early (3500BC – 1900BC), Mature (1900BC-1400BC)

    The IVC or Harappan civilization was the 1st urban civilization in South Asia.

    East – Alamgirpur (UP)
    South – Daimabad (MH)
    Rakhigarhi in Haryana being the largest IVC site

    Town Planning

    FeaturesDescriptionSignificance
    Division of City1. Raise part (called citadel): considered of housing for rulers and important public buildings such as granaries, workshops. It is mostly situated in west of city. 2. Lower part (Eastern side of town): consisted of houses of common citizens1. It shows the presence of social hierarchy and some administrative authority. 2. The Public and Private sphere was separated as town was divided into two parts
    StreetsIt followed a grid pattern (i.e. streets cut each other at right angles, thus dividing city into several rectangular blocks.It shows excellent knowledge of measurement and urban planning of Harappan people.
    Drainage systemDrains connected all houses and were made up of mortar, lime and gypsum and covered with large brick slabs for easy cleaning.It shows Harappan people paid great attention to Health and Sanitation.
    HousesThey were often of two or more stories, but no window faced the streets.Often the 2nd story was made on 1st when it had subsided. It shows Harappan inhabited the place for longer time
    Building materialsStandardized burnt bricks – bricks of ratio 1:2:4 found in all the sites (no stone was used)It shows the presence of centralized weights and measurement systems.

    practices
    ReligionHarappan believed nature worship – gods in the form of trees such as Peepal and animals (bull). Idolatry was prevealent, they also worshipped Mother goddess, Pasupati yogi (lord of cattle) and Phalic symbolsHarappans were called secular society as no temple
    (except for the great bath) or religion have been
    found (unlike in other contemporary civilizations)
    Script and Languages1. Harappan script is Pictographic and Logo syllabic (each symbol stood for a word)
    2. Harappan writing was Boustrophedon (right to left and then left to right in alternate lines)
    3. Script disappeared by 1700 BCE, showing the lack of percolation of the writings of IVC to other civilizations.    		1. Recent theories have pointed out the similarity between ancient Tamil and Harappan scripts. But until the Harappan script is deciphered, the conclusion cannot be made.
    2. The various evidence of common script points to great cultural integration during IVC.
    BeliefsHarappans believed in evil forces and ghosts and used amulets as protection against them.This was true about most of the primitive society.
    Burial
    Practices
    		Dead bodies were placed in North – South direction (extended inhumation) and were accompanied by food, pottery, jewelry, etc. The graveyard was within settlement and had three types of burials.
    >Complete burial
    >Fraction burial (burial of bones after exposure of body to birds and beasts)
    >Cremation following by burial of ashes    		It shows their strong belief in life after death which
