    Best strategy for IAS exam! | Let us make one ‘for you’ | Fill Samanvaya form for IAS 2021

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

    Click to fill the form: Samanvaya for IAS 2021


    So, you’ve decided upon this goal. Now, this is life. You want to crack this prestigious IAS exam. You just want to start. Or maybe you have already started on this journey, and you are in the middle somewhere, lost. What to do now?

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

    Any vision, howsoever grand or noble it be, without a strategy is just an illusion.

    Last month we had a discussion with around 1450 students who were not able to clear prelims even after more than 2 attempts. No points on guessing what was common to all of them. No strategy.

    And what is the best strategy? One that is specifically designed for YOU. One that is based on your learning competencies, your situation in life, the time you have for preparation, your attitude, your aptitude, and a lot of other factors. And then you have to execute.

    This is where our 3 tier mentoring comes in:

    1. First step starts with this Samanvaya call: Once you fill in the form, our senior mentors get on a 30-40 minute call with you to understand your prep level, working/ study constraints, current strategies, and create a step by step plan for next week, next month and so on.

    2. You are given access to our invite-only chat platform, Habitat where you can ask your daily doubts, discuss your test-prep questions and have real-time, live sessions on news and op-eds, and find your optional groups.

    Daily target monitoring.

    3. The third and the most personalized tier is the 1 on 1 mentor allotment who stays with you through the course of your UPSC preparation – always-on chat and on scheduled calls to help you assess, evaluate, and chart the next milestone of your IAS 2021 journey.


    Let’s talk. Fill this Samanvaya form (click here)

    (Civilsdaily’s mentor will call you within 24 hours.)


    Who are you?

    1. Working Junta? If you are preparing for IAS 2021 and working simultaneously, we can help you strategize and decipher the IAS exam and design a timetable that fits right in your hectic schedule.
    2. First-time prep? If you are in the last year of college or thinking of dropping a year and preparing for IAS 2021 full time, we can help you pick the right books and craft a practical & personal strategy.

    You just have to take 5 minutes out and fill this form: Samanvaya For IAS 2021

    Once done, we will call you within 24 hours or so.


    Here are some testimonials of our students about Samanvaya and our propriety chat interventions:

    (Instructions at the bottom)


    Dear students,

    We are ecstatic to announce that all UPSC Optional groups are live now on Civilsdaily’s Habitat – our learning platform. (Links for all optional provided below)

    Habitat is yet another innovation by Civilsdaily. Another day, another slay! Not boasting really! but we have actually re-invented learning in general and re-structured UPSC preparation in particular.

    Preparing for Optionals in the old, outdated manner you can never be ready for the curveballs in the Optional mains exam. Modern problems require ‘postmodern’ solutions.

    What is our philosophy?

    We have diminished, if not removed the barrier between teacher and student. Co-learning and co-creating knowledge is the need of the hour. The discourses, the vaad-vivaad on every topic, every theory and every issue pushes the boundaries of your thoughts. (Yup, it’s desirable!)

    It gets chaotic in the Mains when you are sitting there scratching your head thinking about what surprises the next question might hold for you. For that, you have to get chaotic now,  turn it into constructive chaos, and channelize it.

    There comes a time in our lives when we realize our calling. When to get where we have to go – even if there are no doors or windows, we walk through a wall. If this is that time for you please continue reading.

    In our discussion with over 1000 bright students last month, we realized that it wasn’t a lack of motivation that stood in the way of their success, it was something else…

    Motivation will get you started but it is discipline alone which will keep you growing. Remember, even a drop of rain every day will make a hole in the most stubborn stone. Be that goddamn drop of rain!

    It is persistence and discipline that is the bridge between your goals and accomplishments.

    A common misconception about discipline is that it is about punishment and suffering. No, It is not! It is about accountability – daily, weekly, monthly.. for the entire journey of your IAS preparation.

    How to set and enforce that accountability to keep your journey disciplined and always on track?

    This is where our 3 tier mentoring comes in:

    1. 1st step starts with this Samanvaya call: Once you fill in the form, we get on a 30-40 minute call with you to understand your prep level, working/ study constraints, current strategies and create a step by step plan for next week, next month and so on

    Click here to register for the (Online) Mock Interview 

    Dear student, 

    The COVID-19 shutdown caused a brief interruption in the UPSC interviews. The good news is that UPSC has released the schedule for the Personality Test of Civil Services Examination, 2019 (Click here).

    UPSC CSE 2019 Interviews are set to start from 20th July 2020 to 30th July 2020. Therefore, it is strongly advised that you restart your interview preparation as soon as possible. 

    Civilsdaily is always at the forefront when it comes to ensuring that your prep is rapid, focused, and effective. Thus, we have resumed our highly praised ‘Interview Guidance Program (IGP) – Transcend 2019-20’. Over 80 interviews have already been conducted. Register yourself now.

    Click here to register for the (Online) Mock Interview 

    (Submit your DAF 1 and DAF 2 at hello@civilsdaily.com)

    Civilsdaily’s IGP TRANSCEND 2019-20 students can vouch for the most comprehensive and holistic interview preparation. Click here to know what students have to say about Transcend 2019-20 

    We help make you understand how the panel at UPSC thinks, what they would expect from you (as per your DAF), and how to gear your preparation towards the 200+ marks target. 

    Our trailblazing questioning techniques (like rapid-fire round, word formation, sentence formation, extempore, etc.) reveal every minute, but significant, aspects of your personality. 

    Without plugging the gaps in these aspects, your selection can get compromised. The mock ends with very comprehensive and workable feedback with ample time given to the student to discuss all her doubts. This is disruptive innovation at its finest!

    You need to go beyond the regular to attain your full potential. You need to choose TRANSCEND to transcend yourself. 

    See you there.
