At this time it isn’t just about UPSC syllabus completion, revision and attempting test series
In the last 3 years, a lot has changed about UPSC CSE Prelims
Other than knowledge and analytical understanding UPSC is also testing your ability to solve problems under pressure.
To cross the cut-off and get an edge you need to complement your knowledge with the ability and skills to derive real-time answers
This will take you into the league of IAS toppers.
Read what Zeeshan sir has to say about UPSC prelims preparation and approach
“This is Zeeshan Hashmi from Civilsdaily, and today, I want to share my perspective on the evolving nature of UPSC Prelims preparation. Having mentored over 100 rankers, including AIR 22 and 56, I’ve witnessed firsthand the shift in the exam’s approach and what it demands from aspirants.
The era of solely relying on conventional books, multiple revisions, and countless mock tests for Prelims success is behind us. Now, the UPSC Prelims has transformed to rigorously test your real-time problem-solving abilities. It’s no longer about what you know; it’s about how you apply it under pressure.
Interestingly, about 50 questions in the paper often fall into the vague or unknown category. It’s a clear indication that sticking to the traditional methods of preparation – confining oneself to the syllabus and regular tests – is not sufficient anymore.
That’s why I am inviting you to attend my upcoming webinar, where I will introduce you to the ‘Knowledge+ Approach.‘ This innovative method focuses on real-time derivation of answers, turning questions that seem impossible into achievable opportunities.
Join me on 6th January 2024, at 7 PM on Zoom, for a session that will redefine your approach to UPSC Prelims.
This webinar is more than just a strategy discussion. It’s about adapting a methodology that aligns with the current demands of UPSC – a blend of knowledge and on-the-spot analytical skills.
Whether you’re starting your journey or looking to refine your strategy, this webinar is a pivotal step towards achieving your IAS dream. It’s time to move beyond the conventional, embrace strategic learning, and step into your preparation with confidence and clarity.”
By the end, you’ll have razor-sharp clarity and a clear roadmap for approaching and qualifying your UPSC 2024 prelims exam with confidence and near-perfect certainty.

Our Prime TS test is out. We have started releasing sample questions from our tests to ensure more and more students turn up for the test on time instead of procrastinating till the last month before prelims.
Our questions are very meticulously crafted to ensure 100% alignment + maximum hit ratio with UPSC Prelims. Any serious aspirant cannot afford to miss out on these questions.
Q.1) Which among the following factors can be the reason to initiate a Currency swap between two parties?
To hedge the risk of a certain currency
To Reduce the cost of raising funds
A country facing the risk of debt default.
Promote own currency in the international market
Select the correct option:
The new pattern of the UPSC prelims focuses on external sectors of the Indian Economy. More than 10 questions in the last 3 years on-REER, NEER, dollar-rupee relationship, indirect transfers, international trade, BoP, and currency devaluation.
Currency Swap was in the news last year for SAARC and in this year’s news as well.
Q.2) Which one of the following statements is correct about ‘Walking Leaves’?
These are tiny, flat leaves that overlap each other and are often found on plants like cacti and succulents.
These are also known as leaf-tailed geckos because they look like leaves.
These leaves are long, thin, and pointed usually found on plants that live in very dry or cold places.
These insects are famous for looking just like leaves which helps them hide in their natural homes.
In the Environment, keyword-based questions have increased. Some examples are Lemon grass, Filter feeder, Bollgard, ACE2, Bisphenol A, etc.
Q.3) Consider the following with respect to ‘One Future Alliance(OFA)’
It is an initiative of India and the United Nations Development Programme.
It is a part of Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) partnership.
It enables countries to innovate using existing open-source customizable stacks for their own and the world’s future.
Select the correct option:
International Organisations, Conventions, and Treaties are some of the most important themes in Prelims and cover more than 90% of the IR section.
The International Monetary Fund covered an article “Policy Priorities for the G20: One Earth, One Family, One Future” on One Future Alliance which makes it even more important.
Practicing is more important than reading. Get going!

The Interview Stage is the most important stage and a chance for you to very easily score 190+ provided you are guided with the right feedback.
Seasoned bureacrats will not ask you silly pressure test questions – proposing to a glass, writing a random prescription. They ask you thought provoking questions inline with what will be asked in the actual exam.

Read what Rohit sir has to say about UPSC preparation and approach
“Hey, this is Rohit Pande here, and I’m excited to talk about something that I deeply believe in: “The art of meticulous planning in UPSC preparation.”
It’s a common misconception that clearing the UPSC in your first attempt is all about studying randomly for a year. Let me tell you, it’s much more than that. Every IAS ranker who has achieved this feat did not rely on just standard resources or mock tests. They had a plan, a blueprint for success that they followed with unwavering dedication.
As we are stepping into the UPSC 2025 preparation cycle, it’s crucial to assess your strategy. How do you plan to approach this mammoth exam? This is where I come in.
I’m hosting a webinar on 1st January 2024, at 6 PM on Zoom, and you’re invited.
This isn’t just another session where I’ll be talking about what books to read or generic strategies. Instead, I’ll be sharing the exact study plans of IAS rankers who cracked the UPSC in their first attempt. We’ll dissect these plans, understand their core, and then, most importantly, adapt them to fit your unique needs and preparation stage.
This masterclass is not only a reality check on modern-day UPSC preparation but also an opportunity for you to get personalized inputs on your current strategy.
It’s an essential session, especially if you’re just starting out. Here, you’ll learn how to define your plan, minimize daily anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, and embark on a journey filled with confidence and clarity.
Join me in this transformative session and take the first step towards turning your IAS dream into reality. Remember, it’s not just about hard work; it’s about smart, strategic, and structured preparation.”
By the end, you’ll have razor-sharp clarity and a clear roadmap for approaching and qualifying your UPSC 2025 exam with confidence and near-perfect certainty.

In the last 3 years, a lot of things have changed about UPSC-CSE
Especially the ‘UPSC Main’ examination. Your answer-writing approach must evolve.
No more answer writing is about Introduction-Body-Conclusion
And if you are stuck in 80s marks range in UPSC GS Mains paper
It’s time to look at answer writing from a different perspective
You need to evolve w.r.t your Mains answer writing to go beyond 110+
Civilsdaily Masterclasses allow you to access the real work from those who have done it before
All my ranker students had their preparation system. What’s stopping you?
Never start from scratch on your UPSC mains answer writing
Start like a Topper.
Read what Arvind Agrawal sir has to say about UPSC Mains and answer writing approach
“Hello UPSC aspirants, I’m Arvind Agrawal.
Having evaluated over 1500 Mains answer copies and mentored 100+ rankers including AIR 16, 22, and 48, I’ve seen firsthand how UPSC Mains has evolved.
After having evaluated hundreds of copies of Mains failed candidates I know what fundamental mistakes they commit to which must be avoided.
Staying stuck to these mistakes will keep your mains score restricted in the 80s range in UPSC GS Mains paper, and this is irrespective of your content or answer writing practice.
Join me this Thursday at 6 pm for a FREE LIVE Zoom webinar, where I’ll dissect these 5 fundamental issues with mains failed candidates and their answer writing approach that you must avoid. I will also share 10 best practices followed by UPSC IAS Toppers.
This session is crucial for anyone looking to improve their Mains score dramatically!“
