Changes in the Daily AWE Program
Dear Students,
The Daily AWE Program has been well received with a huge number of enrollments which are expected to only increase in the coming months. We were not prepared for this kind of response and are in the process of adding more experienced folks as reviewers to handle the burden.
As the program evolves, we have to make certain changes to ensure a smooth functioning and quality.
- Students will be given 10 days extra for wrapping up the previous month. Meaning, if you enroll for the month of November, you can submit answers for questions posted in November(from 1st to last day of November) till 10th December. The deadline makes sense for students as old questions might not have relevance anymore.
- We will follow a monthly cycle. Meaning you enroll for a particular month. If you join on the 9th of December, you will have access to the month December from the first day to the last day of December. It will *NOT* be from 9th December to 9th January. You will be expected to manage time to submit the answers for the days you’ve missed.
- Students joining after 25th of a particular month can opt for AWE for the next month. Meaning – if you join on 26th of November, you have the option of enrolling for the month of December(1st to last day of December). Students who join on the 23rd of November will have close to 18 days to submit all answers for the month of November. We believe it is a good enough time to clear the backlog.
The timelines for reviews has changed.
We have observed that a good number of students are submitting answers to old questions much late and on weekends. This becomes a hassle at our end and prevents us from being quick without compromising on the quality.
We are committed to providing you reviews ASAP. But we will keep a 1-week deadline for students submitting their answers on the same day and a 2-week deadline for students submitting their answers late. This is to ensure that we don’t compromise on the quality just to stick to a deadline. It is better to get a proper review than to get a quicker review.
*PLEASE NOTE* – The above modifications apply for students who will be joining from the 26th of November. For our old students, these new rules are relaxed and they can submit the answers for November till 20th December.

Released – IOS Update for iPad
Dear Students,
On popular demand, we had released the IOS app. It was well received by everyone. Post that we’ve received many requests to ensure that the app works for iPads. Our present upgrade addresses this issue.
We have received many more queries from IOS users to make the app more jazzy with superior experience since they are used to it. We believe the app at its present state is functional and serves its purpose. Critical bugs and important updates will definitely be addressed, but more aspirational features will need to wait.
At the same time, we request students to rate our apps with a 5 star. This helps us stay motivated and put more efforts into refining our offerings.

Enrolments to the PDP Mock Interview Program
Dear Students,
We have started receiving entries for the interview program.
There are a few details we thought were important to communicate.
- Students appearing for the first time should go through the following transcripts to get an idea of the actual interview program.
https://www.civilsdaily.com/category/interview-transcripts/
We are in the process of adding more transcripts.
- Students, who have given the interview last time but haven’t scored well, we would like to understand their assessment of what they lacked. Hence, we request you to email the same. Such introspection is indeed beneficial.
As an eg. email we received – “My answers were generally short and non-engaging. There were moments of long pauses from the panelist side. Thats how I knew it wasnt going that great. Dont know how to handle that if it happens again.”
Looking forward to your mails.

Launching Mock Interviews + Personality Development Program(PDP) for Interview Round
Folks,
The importance of the 3rd round of exam – The Personal Interview, cannot be underscored. If you perform exceptionally well, it will help you compensate for your any shortage in your mains score. At its worst, it will undo the hard work that you put in to get a high score in mains and push you to a lower service.
People who have cleared the mains generally don’t face any difficulty in navigating through the interviews. However, we have come across many cases that have failed to perform exceptionally well. Hence, we want to work towards a robust program.
The approach followed by coaching institutes to mock interview programs is very unstructured. You present before a panel and are asked questions one after the other. If you fail to answer them, you are asked to prepare those topics. In the next round, you are asked a completely different set of questions independent of your first round of performance.
We want to follow a very different approach. It is not about merely answering ad-hoc questions but testing your capabilities across the following competencies.
General
1. Economy
2. International Relations
3. Governance and social issues
4. Current Affairs
DAF Specific
1. Past background
2. Hometown/state information
3. Hobbies
4. Your optional subject
Here is how the program will work
General guidelines –
1. Mail us your DAF with filename changed to yourname-rollnumber and subject as PDP yourname–rollnumber.
2. In the email, tell us what areas you feel require special attention/are most uncomfortable with.
3. We will join you to our exclusive telegram group.
4. You can connect with students from the same hometown/city & hobbies. This will help you collaborate and prepare these competencies better.
5. The telegram group will be moderated by our panelists who will answer your general queries and pose relevant questions.
6. We will try to pose stress based question regularly so you have
7. At the same time, we will be posting videos and notes which we believe can be of help in tackling the interview program.
Individual focus
1. 1-1 online/on-call interviews with our panelists.
2. 2nd round of mocks will be held offline.
3. DAF specific material wherever possible.
We will sincerely try to help all our students. However, the program will require few iterations to be perfected. We hope to collect information on specific hobbies and hometown/city so they can be of help for future aspirants. We look to your cooperation in this regard.
Our Panel
We have a commitment from the following academicians, seasoned bureaucrats, and subject matter experts. They believe in our cause and are willing to put in hours to train aspirants.
