  • 95 out of 100 IAS Aspirants love our 1 on 1 mentoring for their 2021 attempt

    95 out of 100 IAS Aspirants love our 1 on 1 mentoring for their 2021 attempt

    Click to fill the form: Samanvaya for IAS 2021

    In the lockdown season 1, 2, 3, we talked with more than 1500 candidates who were preparing for IAS 2021.

    95% of the IAS 2021 aspirants talked with our mentors to align their preparation strategies, time table, current affairs coverage and fine-tine their exam-taking skills.

    100% of the IAS 2021 aspirants who became our students loved the habitat chat portal which we opened for them, exclusively

    Here’s what we can help you with:

    1. Working Junta? If you are preparing for IAS 2021 and working simultaneously, we can help you design a timetable that fits right in your hectic schedule.
    2. First-time prep? If you are in 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.

    What happens when you fill this form? How does a call help you?

    1. Identifying your weaknesses

    Over 80% of students who claimed to have revised NCERTs twice were unable to answer basic questions. Many were not comfortable with at least 1 GS subject and Optional. Many struggled with ‘What went wrong’ after 2-3 years of hard work. Our mentors will provide free preliminary assignments so we can assess your preparedness and suggest accurate strategies.

    2. Strategy and study plan discussions

    Over 90% of students couldn’t stick to a plan. Study plans and strategies are iterative in nature and we want to help you with that. Many are unable to perform in tests despite preparing hard. This could be due to a variety of factors – lack of adequate prep, jitters in the exam hall, inadequate revision, lack of practice of test series or just a bad day at work. Tell us what you think went wrong and we’ll figure out a way to get you over the line next time.

    3. Helping you understand the exam better – which books to read, different approaches, etc. Over 60% of students we talked to did not find NCERTs relevant and saw no point in being thorough with them.

    4. Lack of motivation

    We have all had those days when it’s been hard to motivate ourselves to hit the books and just study. It happens to the best of us sometimes and for some of us, it happens more frequently. And it is understandable, Civil Service preparation is a long and often lonely process. Every aspirant, from toppers to those who have quit have been overwhelmed by this process at some point in time. Working alone is monotonous and helps you keep motivated by ensuring you are actively and passively studying every day. Focused telegram groups to foster discussions.

  • Extremely Urgent : UPSC Prelims, Mains and Interview Dates are out !

    The UPSC revised calendar for events has been published

    4th October Prelims. Mains start from January. Interviews commence from 20th July

    The notification is on the UPSC website.

    We will be releasing a strategy video soon.

    We request students to get in touch no matter what stage of preparation you are in.

    Click here to fill the form and get a kickstart. 

  • Applying to work at Civilsdaily? Here are 10 things to know

    Dear all,

    Thank you for the overwhelming response. We received over 100 applications within 20 minutes of advertising the post.

    We don’t advertise vacancies. But when we do, we are looking for the crème de la crème

    Out of the 100 applicants, only 8 responded to the follow-up email (of course the responses for others are awaited and we might receive them in a day or 2).

    We wanted to take a minute to help you understand how challenging teaching and mentoring the next generation of civil servants can be.

    1. Video lectures 

    We have received videos where Laxmikanth is being read out line by line. These have gained some following on certain platforms.

    But This is not how a great lecture is planned. There has to be a creative process behind what is going to be taught. Clearly articulating your methodology & innovations is a sure-shot way of impressing us. 

    *At CD our next version is always better than our previous*

    2. Mains Related 

    When it comes to mains related competencies, your test series attempts are the most important reference point for us.

    Your actual marks in the exam are a good indicator. But we want people who can keep repeating the good marks they have gotten. The only way for us to know that is to analyse your test series attempts.

    This is especially true for essay and ethics. We have received applications from essay toppers but their test series attempts were very average. They lacked the necessary punchlines and a great flow. How can we be sure that you will have rock-solid suggestions for students who are already at an advanced stage of preparation? 

    One has to be a deep thinker, a deep reader having clarity of thought and expression to take our students to the next level.

    3. Mentorship 

    Mentorship is something we have explored at length in the past 1 year. What we look for is patience. Students in their first year of prep are slow. They take their time to absorb things. No matter how hard you try, they will end up wasting time following conventional wisdom doing things due to fear of missing out.

    Mentors have to tolerate all this. They invest so much time and effort and at times dont get the appreciation they deserve.

    Hoping that the above note helps you present yourselves better.

    Good luck !

    2. Civilsdaily’s Innovation: Tagging

    Tagging helps us to ensure balanced coverage of static and current affairs, setting optimum difficulty level, keeping the paper relevance to UPSC syllabus and pattern, and cover all important themes. It’ll help you to analyse and understand the expectation of the UPSC in a better way.

    Subject/Sub-subject tagging ensures that a balanced paper is presented to you with an emphasis on important themes. It helps you discover your subject-specific blindspots and rectify them. We disclose our coverage. 

    Question Type Tags: Helps you understand the mix of questions and equip yourself in multifaceted question forming. Learn about question types here.
