    Shreya decided to venture towards her long-nurtured dream of becoming an IAS officer in 2019, and after a year-long struggle, she appeared in the 2020 UPSC Prelims and got to experience the exam first hand.

    After the lost attempt of 2020, she acknowledged that there were areas in her preparation strategy which she could not properly address while doing the preparation alone last year. This is a very important step she has taken in underlining the areas of improvement, which many actually fail to see while self-evaluating the errors. Thereby losing precious time in the
    process.

    Then there were also her personal highs and lows. She felt the need to be held accountable for her studies to address the shortcomings of inconsistencies. Then her search for institutional/formal training for UPSC CSE exam began. She had to make certain choices vis-a-vis the training format to meet her specific requirements. Thus with her list of expectations ready, she started to search for their specific solutions.

    We would also like to mention other similar problems which students like Shreya face during their initial years of preparations here, which are:

    • Mental stress and Isolation
    • Financial Hardships
    • Lack of Peer 2 Peer learning
    • Lack of Direction
    • Reliance on X number of sources
    • Unfair Practices by coaching centers
    • Lack of answer writing
    • Reading Newspaper in a proper way
    • Poor Time management
    • Improper analysis

    So she stumbled upon Civilsdaily in late 2020. Now she has spent some 6-7 months with us and opted for a mentorship program, and what encouraged us to tell her story to you is the kind of progress she has been able to make with her mentor and how?

    Broadly, six factors determine your success in cracking this prestigious IAS exam. The most important being understanding the expectations of UPSC; according to that planning and strategizing; then Learning – Knowledge and information; Analyzing – making linkages, connections, etc.; Executing and utilizing information; and Constant course correction – because mistakes are inevitable, need to rectify them asap.

    Through our mentorship-driven and personalized approach, we’re hell-bent on simplifying things for you. Hence, we have come up with a plan that you will instantly connect with you and give you a vibe that yes you can do it!

    1. Integrated Approach

    Preparation for Prelims and Mains is harmonized. You study a subject, attempt prelims tests and then attempt mains tests for the same. This leads to a solid preparation.

    Many institutes our there will not able to present an integrated approach. They offer separate timetables for prelims and mains confusing the students further. That’s not the case with us!

    2. Simplified Approach

    Our Time-table is the easiest to remember and follow. All test prelims, mains, and Samachar Manthan will be held on the weekend.

    • Prelims Tests are held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month.
    • Monthly Current Affairs Tests are held on the last Saturday of every month.
    • Mains Tests are held on the 1st and 3rd Sunday of every month after the subject is complete.
    • Essay Tests are held on the 2nd Sunday of every month.

    3. Priority-wise Coverage of subjects

    We are starting with the most important subjects from the exam perspective first. These are very predictable + have a very high return on investment. They need to be mastered if one has to have a shot at the exam. Polity, Modern History, and Economics. The lower priority ones follow afterward.

    4. Logical Division of Topics

    Subjects have been divided into topics that logically fit together. Eg. for Polity we ask you to prepare in 2 parts – first, till Central Government and second, from State Government and beyond. This division is not ad-hoc and does not break the flow of your studies.

    5. Base and Advanced Sources

    We have divided the sources into 2 parts, Base Sources, and Advanced Sources. Base sources are those which you have to master. You should come to advanced sources only when you are thorough with the Base Sources.

    All this under the guidance of a dedicated mentor who will oversee your progress, help you strategies your preparation, plan it and make it measurable, help you analyze and evaluate your preparation; and introduce strategic interventions wherever and whenever required.

    Develop analytical skills for UPSC IAS exam| Analytica by Alankrit Bhatia | Join 2 weeks workshop (link inside)

    UPSC IAS is not just about information loading. Whatever you are studying must be analyzed in detail and linked with other topics. Moreover, you must learn how to utilize that information for different stages of the exam.

    Analytical skills help you visualize a problem’s complexity, process and organize it, solve it, make projections and generate new ideas. Analytical thinking involves using existing information to accurately assess situations and provide insight into how different factors interact.

    What is Analytica?

    In this Habitat club by Alankrit sir, you will be developing, learning, and practicing the analytical skills required for UPSC IAS preparation. An engaging discussion around important editorials and articles of the day along with daily worksheets you would be developing these skills.

    • Course fee: Rs 1200 + GST = 1416
    • Course start date: 19th April 2021
    • Duration: 2 weeks (5 days/week)

    How the discussions will take place?

    The course will proceed by giving 3-5 news articles/topics a day. The links of the articles will be shared in advance. You’ll have to read it before the discussion. We will discuss in the Habitat clubs.

    The students will be encouraged and guided to share their views and
    develop linkages with the topics via the use of questions.

    The objective of the course is not to give a definite content but to make students brainstorm then and there and indulge in making new connections and linkages.

    Dear students,

    We are thrilled to launch the 4th edition of our OPEN Crash Course [Nikaalo Prelims]. The last 3 editions have been immensely helpful to aspirants who wanted a fast-paced revision sequence. With Nikaalo Prelims you get our full commitment for the next 60 days with these 3 things: 

    1. Prelims Spotlight (simplified, synthesized, byte-sized information collated in notes)
    2. Static & CA Tests (alternate days, 20 questions with rich explainers)

    Note: If you want to see how our prelims test series have helped aspirants in the past, both in building capabilities, smart hacks and prediction (relevance), please read on this link


    How is this program any different from the other “x-day revision programs”?

    There are many institutes and websites offering open crash courses (that too for free) and most of them have their heart & efforts in a good place. Like them, we also believed that drawing up a time table and collating questions together in one place will help in an effective revision. Major pillars of the programs are:

    1. Prelims SPOTLIGHT

    This initiative is meant to help you revise details and facts that can be asked in prelims. They are simplified, synthesized and prepared using most authentic sources. These can easily slip your mind or you can easily confuse these. Continuous Revision for the same is required. The themes picked up in the spotlight are not random but after analyzing and scrutinizing the PYQs of several years. Dare you to miss the updates!

    You will get PDFs for these notes. Trust us, less is more. We won’t overwhelm. you with content just coz we can 

    1. Static Subject Revision and Tests 

    The timetable for the static subjects is released. Tests will start on the 6th of March. 

    Coverage and Relevance are the 2 Pillars of our Tests.

    1. You appear for a test every alternate day at 8 PM. 
    2. We believe some breathing time is necessary to ensure consistency and efficiency. Besides, a good revision also requires quality time commitment. 
    3. Instant score after you submit your test with proper explanations for the questions. 
    4. Top 10 Ranks will be announced for every test at the launch of the next test.  
    5. Please ensure you attempt the tests with utmost sincerity.
