Hi, I am Anusha. I am a working professional. After my 2 failed attempts, I felt I was lacking direction and decided to join any mentorship program. I have joined Civilsdaily in August 2020. I was assigned Asif Sir as my mentor.
About her mentor:
I have very great experience with my mentor. He would discuss my strengths and weakness in a topic and then use to give the targets for the week. Even if I don’t lift the scheduled call, he would message me asking my well being and my availability to discuss my progress in completing the targets.
My experience with UAP 2020 program:
In my previous attempts I have concentrated only on reading and jumping from one source to another.
Samachar Manthan helped me to start writing.
I was getting customized plan yet because of my hectic workload and other reasons, I wasn’t able to complete my targets. My mentor patiently listened to my problems and gave me motivation and way around to complete my targets.
I would surely bet that had not I have joined this initiative, I would have lost in the mid-way. Because preparing on your own being an working professional have its own challenges.
I would conclude that if one can afford the course given time constraints and exhaustive syllabus, Civilsdaily mentorship is worth joining for.

Suppose you started reading Laxmikant to prepare for questions on Indian Constitution.
What do you do? You read through it, answer the questions in the book, and gradually complete the syllabus.
What do you do next? You pick up mock questions and try solving them.
While solving the question paper, you realise that you have missed some points. What do you do then? You go back to Laxmikant and read that chapter again.
Now, this is not a one time thing. Every time you discover that you have missed a concept or cannot solve a particular question, you go back to the book and read it again. Basically, you spend a lot of time reading the same material over and over again without feeling confident that you will definitely solve the questions. Is this the smart way of preparing for your exams or could there be a better way?
And you are not alone. Most of the students do the same thing and waste a lot of time and effort in reading the same things without feeling completely confident about it. Would it not be better if you could spend this time on reading some other material or preparing for your optional subject? Wouldn’t it be better if you read the syllabus once or maybe twice and felt confident about it?
What if we tell you that you can gain absolute mastery over the subject, not only constitution but all of them, without going through the same material multiple times? What if we tell you that there is a better way, a smarter way?
So, what is the smarter way?
We spoke with hundreds of aspirants who have cracked the exam and they revealed the secret that helped them succeed. The secret was ‘discussion.’
In fact, every aspirant who has succeeded will tell you that they engaged with their peers and mentors in numerous discussions to understand the topics comprehensively. Successful aspirants will tell you that they got a comprehensive understanding of the topics by participating in thorough discussions with other aspirants.
Why do they do this?
Engaging in discussions helped these successful candidates in clearing their doubts. It helped them get a broader perspective on the subject and it helped them find new ways of answering questions without having to read the same material over and over again.
They learned through conversations!

Upcoming Mock interview and session
This week’s mock interview dates have been fixed.
Mock interview this week- 27th June onwards(Book your slot)
Aspirants will also get a personalized DAF-based questionnaire based on extensive research and linkages with the issues of national and international importance.
DAF questionnaire
Detailed Application Form (DAF) is one of the most important documents that you might have filled for UPSC interviews. A major part of the interview will revolve around the information and details provided in the DAF. It is more than your CV.
Your ability to defend your DAF before the panel is going to decide your success. Anticipating and preparing for the questions based on your DAF is an essential part of the interview preparation.
Any serious UPSC aspirant will tell you that this is one of the most difficult exams in the world. The syllabus is vast, the questions are unpredictable, and the pressure is difficult to bear. Studying for this exam can become overwhelming. And due to the extreme stress of succeeding in this exam, aspirants end up making mistakes that are easily avoidable.
We know that it is only human to make mistakes but as a UPSC aspirant, can you really afford to?
We spoke to hundreds of candidates who have cracked this exam and are successful civil servants now, and they all revealed that the key to their success was avoiding these 3 extremely common mistakes:
Trying To Study Everything – This is a mistake most aspirants make. They try to study everything possible and end up feeling overwhelmed, tired, and confused. Smart aspirants learn from experienced mentors and their peers about what to study and what to avoid.
Remember: You do not need to study everything!
Studying Alone – When you study alone, you develop only one perspective on any topic. When you speak with your peers, discuss topics with other aspirants, and debate relevant topics, you develop a comprehensive understanding of the subject. This improves your retention abilities and your answers become rich with facts.
Remember: Learn from your peers, it improves your command on the subject.
Being Inconsistent – Most candidates study intensely for a month and then start slacking. They get tired, confused, overwhelmed, and even bored sometimes. And once they start slacking, it becomes very difficult to concentrate again. Successful candidates, however, become a part of groups or clubs that keeps them focused. They don’t study in isolation but join a group that supports them intellectually and motivates them. That’s how they succeed!
Remember: Become a part of a club that supports you, motivates you, and keeps you focused.
These 3 mistakes are easily avoidable and as a serious candidate, you should be focused on finding mentors who can guide you well, finding groups with other serious candidates, and joining clubs that will help you stay on track.
It’s easy to find all of these on Habitat, and once you find them, your preparation will transform overnight! We promise!
