Without a proper strategy, execution is aimless. Let us make one.. your strategy.. just for you!

So, you’ve decided upon this goal. Now, this is life. You want to crack this prestigious IAS exam. And you have started, but feel stuck.

Did you pick up NCERT or a standard book and started reading it, mindlessly, without purpose or process? Is doing current taking you 4-5 hrs but still you aren’t able to make sense of it for the exam? Is UPSC preparation becoming unmanageable for you with a job?

Just stop wherever you are. It is not just about walking. It is about walking in the right direction. Take a deep breath and answer this question – Do you have a strategy?

Last month we had a discussion with around 1900 students who were not able to clear prelims even after more than 2 attempts. Many were stuck on mains.

But why? Even after taking multiple attempts, covering the full syllabus, or taking tests?

Lack of direction, no guidance, inability to make required necessary changes in their preparation, and an absence of a well-defined strategy were issues common to all. (What issues are you facing? tell us)

UPSC IAS preparation is not just about memorizing and information gathering. Neither is it about mindlessly picking up random NCERTs, standard books or spending 5 hours on the Hindu.

More than 10.5 lakh applied, but only 796 are going to clear UPSC IAS 2020. It is going to be much more challenging in 2021 and 2022.

IAS exam, by design, is such that it should take just one attempt to clear it. Any further attempt, if you’re taking, should only be to improve your rank.

Did you have a look at Prelims 2020 paper? In many ways, it has highlighted the changing nature of UPSC, and to be successful you need to adapt to the expectations of UPSC and adopt a new approach.

For 2021 aspirants, your preparation should be highly outcome-oriented (enabling you to fetch more marks). Every action of yours must be very objectively defined, every step as a part of your strategy. Whatever you are learning must be utilizable in the exam (both pre and mains). Your preparation should have an element of measurability.

Moreover, you need to balance both Prelims and Mains on one hand and current-static-optional on the other. Fill Samanvaya form to know how it should be done.

All this stands true for 2022 aspirants as well. This is the right time to start preparation.

Broadly, six factors determine your success in cracking this prestigious IAS exam and the most important being understanding the expectations of UPSC and according to that planning and strategizing; other being, 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.

These are the areas where most of the aspirants fail to create a balance. Where are you facing an issue?

What makes these MCQs important?

It’s not just the MCQs but the process that makes Prelims-1000 essential.

The questions shall be sourced from a multitude of sources, standard plus a few more, to ensure that the candidate experiences a wide variety of questions and gets acclimatized with the kind of questions that appear in the actual examination i.e. combining multiple concepts and current events together to frame a question.

Consider the following questions that are more a test of the application of what a candidate has learned instead of relying on the candidate’s eidetic memory:

Ques. Narmada River does not have many tributaries primarily because:
        1. It flows through the region of scanty rainfall.       
        2. The hard rock surface and non-alluvial nature of the peninsular
             plateau permits little scope for the development of tributaries.
        3. It flows through a narrow valley confined by precipitous hills.
 
Choose the correct alternative using the codes given below.

(a) 1 and 3 only

(b) 2 only

(c) 3 only

(d) 1, 2 and 3

Ques. Apart from poaching, which of the following is/are among the reasons for the decline of the bird population in India? 
        1. Extension in tea gardens and plantations 
        2. Colonization by invasive plant species 
        3. Decline in insect population 
Select the correct answer using the codes given below.

(a) 2 and 3 only

(b) 1 and 2 only

(c) 1 and 3 only

(d) 1, 2 and 3 

However, even the chaos should have some semblance of order. And therefore, we have tied the program to the following salient features that will help you gauge the final outcome of the course. 

• Each question shall be followed by a discussion about the theory and the current event, if any, that motivated the question.
• The static portion and current affairs to be covered shall be informed in advance to enable the students to prepare for the week ahead. 
• The weekends have been kept free to ensure the candidates are not overwhelmed but the weekends can still be utilized for discussing the important issues on a need-basis.

How this program will help you?

And now let us answer the most pertinent question, i.e., how will the course help you in your preparation? To enumerate the benefits, at the conclusion of the course, you would have:
