CD war zone is an initiative started by Civils daily IAS, it is a community where we are collectively writing answers on a daily basis, apart from doing various other productive activities, like doing Daily Check-in, making timetables, discussing current affairs and likewise.
Why CD War zone?
1) Primarily because of Daily Answer Writing, we call it Daily Answer wars. Here we give you one question daily early in the morning, after that Aspirants submit their Answers, Aspirants get to Peer review each other answers as well. In the evening our mentor comes with the feedback of the answer.
UPSC CSE is a hard nut to crack. Nowadays, due to easy access to UPSC toppers and self-professed gurus (all thanks to YouTube), even most of beginners ‘supposedly’ know what it takes to clear UPSC still, not every UPSC aspirant can reach LBSNAA.
We talked to 10000+ aspirants in the last couple of years and mentored over 5000, and it became clear to us that 99.99% of failed candidates get preyed on their self-complacency.
Self-complacency breeds inconsistency!
Most of them think that 1) revising PYQs 2) Revision of textbooks and 3) Solving mock test series are the primary weapon to penetrate UPSC Prelims. At the end of the Prelims exam, they realize their mistakes. UPSC prelims exam is the first phase but not the simplest one. Toppers say, “Prelims is enough to kill your IAS dream”.
Reading books, and newspapers, making notes, taking classes, and attempting mock tests are the most important psychological factors for the exam. But, a lack of consistency & mentor guidance it’s a deadly setback.
Most of the aspirants are always in ‘snooze mode’
Inconsistency in UPSC preparation is like getting up at 5 am. A night before you set up your alarm. The motivation to get up is high at this point. But in the morning, when the alarm rings, we swipe it to the right with a thought “IN 5 MINUTES…FOR SURE!!”. This snooze cycle usually continues for some time till we realize it is 8 am. Already a bad start to the day! To add to it, you will spend the whole day repenting for not being able to get up early, instead of focusing on the time you have. The same goes for UPSC preparation. You set your targets but one slight glitch and your whole preparation go off track. Till the time you yourself realize this mismanagement, it is a bit too late. Anxiety builds up, and performance levels fall. You are not able to achieve even 10% OF YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL on D-day.
WE ASKED 10000+ STUDENTS ONE SIMPLE QUESTION –
“WHAT IS THE BIGGEST OBSTACLE THAT YOU ARE FACING IN YOUR UPSC PREPARATION?”
YOU WILL BE ASTOUNDED THAT ONE ANSWER WAS COMMON IN REPLIES – INCONSISTENCY.
They are Consistently Inconsistent. Meaning, they go through these highs and lows in their preparation. They are able to study for days or a week but they hit a sudden gap in preparation. Then, they find it very hard to come back. The good news is that we have the solution.
Our philosophy behind MENTORSHIP is to get you out of this Snooze cycle. This ensures that you are the BEST VERSION of yourself in this journey. If you are under the impression that mentorship is weekly calls you attend, then you are mistaken, my friend. Trust us, your mentor will be your ‘FRIEND, PHILOSOPHER, AND GUIDE’.
What The Hindu mentioned about Civilsdaily Mentorship
The Hindu has acknowledged the success rate of CD’s Smash mains MentorshipCD’s FREE Mentorship fulfills the IAS dreams of thousands
How Mentorship can fight inconsistency in preparation?
TO EACH THEIR OWN – Every aspirant is different. Their strengths and weaknesses are different. Their time availability is also different. Identifying this is important so you don’t end up making unrealistic targets and lose momentum. Your mentor will make sure you start slow but remain consistent to build your confidence. Making your schedule structured based on our experience of working with 2500+ students is our first priority.
Tavishi failed thrice in the Prelims before but after joining CD’s mentorship cleared Prelim 2022 on her 4th attempt.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS – When you see yourself grow, it becomes easier to motivate yourself to push boundaries. Tracking your progress can happen in many ways like mentorship calls or chat sessions or regular tests. The idea is to ensure that you don’t go off track in your preparation, and even if you do, we have your back.
EVOLUTION – Constant guidance is important to bring consistency to your UPSC preparation. Guidance is not about clearing your doubts or asking you to study when you don’t. It is also about the evolution of your preparation. This is where you and your mentor work as a team. A constant effort to PLAN AND BUILD UP YOUR ABILITY to learn in a faster and more efficient way.
TALK IT OUT – The biggest hurdle in achieving your highest level of consistency is the emotional part. Every now and then, you. surround yourself with negative thoughts, you feel scared and depressed. Instead of resolving these emotional issues, you avoid them as it seems like a waste of your precious time. You have to understand that ignoring emotional troubles does not solve them. What your doing is building an emotional time bomb that may burst a week before your mains or prelims! This is where your MENTOR AS A FRIEND comes in. All our mentors have been through this journey. We understand your fears and anxieties. So, TALK IT OUT.
Don’t let inconsistency keep you away from your dreams.

Highlights of Transcend: Focused offerings for 3 distinct groups of IAS Mains-qualified aspirants
Freshers
Work Ex
Veterans
Dedicated Habitat group, telephonic and zoom/google meet sessions, SWOT analysis via personalized questionnaire & in-person mock interviews with the panel.
This year, we intend to raise the bar even higher by providing trailblazing professional, personalized mentorship. There are 3 broad categories into which the IAS Mains-qualified candidates are be divided:
#1. Freshers: Facing 1st UPSC interview without work-ex
These candidates have given dedicated and exclusive time to UPSC preparation, often right after their graduation. We also have candidates who decide for UPSC a little later in life. These candidates have a wide variety of backgrounds. Some have quit their jobs to prepare for CSE, some may have household and family responsibilities, etc.
The interview, in the case of these aspirants, will focus on academics, mental alertness, critical power of assimilation, leadership and teamwork, variety and depth of interest, etc.
Freshers have the advantage of ‘excitement’ and ‘happy-go-lucky’ attitude, but they also suffer from fear-of-the-unknown.
For them, Transcend will revolve around psychological strengthening and belief formation besides personality development and polishing of soft skills.
#2. Work-Experience: Facing 1st UPSC interview with work-ex
The second category is of working professionals. These candidates have the advantages of leadership, tactfulness, foresight, and maturity. Of all other categories of candidates, the responses of working professionals are expected to be brief, well crafted, balanced, logical and reflecting emotional intelligence. Leadership is another area these aspirants are tested for.
Transcend will focus intensely on each of these general traits. Stress will be on the trends highlighted by the latest research in these domains.
#3. Veterans: Have faced the UPSC interview board in the past
Candidates who have appeared in the UPSC interview, probably more than once; but have consistently scored low marks.
Such a person has the advantage of the experience of the official set-up. She is aware of the entire process, her DAF and does not have fear-of-the-unknown. She has possibly taken mock interviews in her previous attempts but success eludes her owing to some fundamental flaw, which if unidentified, will compromise her chances yet again.
For veterans, our Transcend mentors will analyze your DAF, previous mock interviews, transcript of real interview/s and will have detailed discussions to pinpoint the weakness. Then will follow the personalized recovery strategy.
We are the only institution in this space that brings such high levels of clarity and purpose to the interview program.
All in all, ‘Transcend’ from Civilsdaily is the finest tool you can choose to uncover the shimmering light of your personality and to realize the simmering desire of your heart.
Take that final leap. You are in good hands now.
What to expect in the coming weeks?
#1. Once you submit your draft DAF 2 and other details on the link we will call you up and discuss your draft DAF 2. Also, we request you to send a video snippet (shot over a mobile selfie and sent via Whatsapp to this number or at atul[at]civilsdaily.com) on the questions listed below. These are basic, time tested questions that do not need any preparation but helps us understand your default presentation styles:
Why do you want to join the civil services?
Why should you be selected over the other candidates?
Which in-service officer has inspired you the most and why?
One feedback that you received from a friend, peer or superior that fundamentally changed the way you operate in the world or look at the world?
We want you to be uninhibited, relaxed and natural when you make this video. All questions are compulsory (especially 2, 4 and 5).
#2. We will get back to you with the feedback on your DAF and this video exercise.
#3. Post that, your progress will be tracked in mock interviews and taken over the telephone, skype, and panel-driven mocks and you will be given access to interact with both our in-house mentors and industry experts to fine-tune your reasonings.
We will work on your innate tendencies and help you carve out the best version of yourself.

The ancient civilization in the Indian subcontinent differed from those of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Greece in that its culture and traditions have been preserved without breakdown to the present day. Comment.

UPSC exam is all about, answer writing, everyone suggests you write answers on a daily basis, but managing exam Preparation and writing 4-5 answers every day is a herculean task. No matter if you are a beginner or a veteran, Answer writing is important, and just because you are not able to write 4-5 answers on a daily basis, ignoring answer writing is a horrible idea.
Why an answer every day?
1) One answer per day is manageable, whether a beginner or a veteran, a sincere IAS Aspirant is easily able to write one answer per day, in addition to his studies.
2) Writing one answer every day will help you improve your answer writing speed, if you are able to write one answer every day in under 7.5 minutes, you will be in a much better position to attempt full lengths mocks.
3) Discipline and routine are much needed for this exam, daily answer writing at a fixed time will give you a routine, and gradually you will develop a habit.
How daily answer wars will help you:
1) Once you are into this initiative, you are in a telegram group where many others like you have attempted the same question at the same time, it helps you to check your accuracy and do a peer review.
2) When collective man hours go into one answer, we get at least 20 new dimensions for that answer, since each aspirant is unique, and each perspective is unique.
3) Our Senior IAS Mentors go through your answers every day and provide you with their expertise on each and every answer.
How does it work?
Every day there will be a YouTube live at 11 am, ideally, you are expected to submit your answers during the live session, but we extend the time till 2 PM, you can post your answers in the telegram group. In the evening there would be another YouTube live where our Mentor comes and provide you with feedback.
There is no doubt that UPSC Prelims is the toughest & most vital stage. It is the great filter that weeds out the not-so-serious candidates but at times many serious ones too.
Although there can be many reasons for failing prelims like inadequate syllabus coverage, not attempting mock or test series, not proper planning, lack of conceptual understanding, etc. but the main one is lack of guidance, preparation analysis, and course revision at regular intervals.
Tavishi failed thrice in the Prelims before but after joining Santosh sir’s mentorship cleared Prelim 2022 on her 4th attempt. Schedule a call with Tavishi’s mentor
Moreover, candidates must be prepared for those offbeat MCQs thrown by UPSC in prelims (new things being tried by UPSC- like options, subjects, etc.).
