    Know-How Our Mains Test Program Stands Apart?

    1. Personalised 1-1 Mentorship to correct you at each step

    We believe in personalized individual attention. A one-to-one discussion with your Mentor will not only highlight your weaknesses but will also help in tracking your improvements over the subsequent tests. It will also ensure consistency, continuity, and progressive improvement.

    Students usually get swayed by only seeing the theme of the question. The question is not about electoral bonds only. Many aspirants write everything they know about electoral bonds. You need to first mention how it will cleanse India’s electoral system. After that, link it with democracy. How it violates key features of democracy like transparency, accountability, and a level playing field. Writing only Pros and Cons will not fetch you marks.

    Just schedule a call with our mentor to clear all your doubts and queries.

    2. Our performance review system ensures your progress is being evaluated and measured

    After every test we prepare and update your performance on two levels: one by the evaluator – who actually checked your test answer copy, and at the second level by Mentor.

    We evaluate and review it on the basis of gaps that you have to overcome and there are four such gaps identified by Sukanya ma’am:

    • Knowledge gap
    • Value addition gap
    • Structure gap
    • Representation gap

    3. Quality standards of questions in our test series

    Our Test series questions have consistently proven to be similar to UPSC standards.

    Here’s the proof

    The whole syllabus will be divided into portions like history, economics, and geography. The other 12 tests will be spread over 8 months. This will ensure that your basic static preparation happens continuously alongside your Mains answer writing program. Killing two birds with one stone!

  • How to Score in Philosophical and Abstract Essays for UPSC Main 2023-24? | Target 150+ score | Unbreakable Mains Essay Masterclass by Zeeshan sir

    How to Score in Philosophical and Abstract Essays for UPSC Main 2023-24? | Target 150+ score | Unbreakable Mains Essay Masterclass by Zeeshan sir

    12th August@ 7:30 pm | UPSC Philosophical and Abstract Essays made super easy by Zeeshan sir | Click below and register for the Essay Masterclass

    Join Unbreakable Mains Telegram Group

    Essay writing is a crucial component of the UPSC Mains examination. This is a paper where the candidates’ expressive and analytical skills are put to the test. The topics provided in the essay paper can range from socio-economic issues to philosophical and abstract themes. Tackling such broad and diverse themes can be challenging, especially when it comes to philosophical and abstract topics.

    A great UPSC essay starts with brainstormed random ideas, disjointed facts…chaos, formulated into a ‘blueprint’. That’s the first step before you actually start writing it.

    We are delighted to announce that Zeeshan Sir, our esteemed Essay Program Head, will be conducting a comprehensive session on mastering the nuances of philosophical essays in UPSC Mains and aiming for a stellar score of 150+

    Feedback on Zeeshan sir’s mentorship by AIR 65, Pranav (from Quora: https://qr.ae/pvH4yA)

    Known for his profound expertise and effective teaching methods, Zeeshan Sir has been a guiding beacon for countless UPSC aspirants. His mentorship has proven instrumental in the success of over 56 UPSC 2022 rankers, who vouch for his insightful understanding of the subject matter and his ability to convey complex ideas with clarity and precision.

    Why abstract and philosophical essays are a pain point for UPSC aspirants?

    • Abstract and philosophical essays are often seen as challenging due to their broad and interpretative nature.
    • Unlike socio-economic topics, philosophical topics do not have a fixed set of facts or data that can be directly included in the essay.
    • These essays require the candidates to demonstrate their critical thinking skills, ability to make abstract connections and articulate their thoughts coherently.

    Who should attend the webinar by Zeeshan sir ?

    • Aspirants preparing for the UPSC 2023-24 Mains.
    • Individuals struggling with abstract and philosophical essays in the Mains.
    • Candidates looking to improve their overall score in the Mains.
    • Aspirants seeking guidance from an experienced and successful mentor.
    • Candidates looking for effective strategies and tips to approach philosophical and abstract essays.
    • Anyone who is aiming to break free from the feeling of unfulfillment and aimlessness in their preparation.
    • Aspirants who are not able to decipher the pattern and ‘new ways of UPSC’.
    • Someone who has failed in earlier attempts – aiming to understand and fill critical gaps in your preparation.
    • Candidates looking for practical strategies rather than generic guidance.
    • Aspirants who want effectiveness, efficiency, and consistency in their preparation

    This Clarity with Ranker’s session holds the keys to your success.

    What should you expect?

    • In-depth understanding of how to tackle abstract and philosophical essays in the Mains.
    • Strategies to target and achieve a 150+ score in the UPSC Mains essay paper.
    • UPSC Essay trends vis-a-vis Philosophical and Abstract topics.
    • Insightful tips and tactics to decode and address complex essay topics.
    • Interactive Q&A session to address individual queries and concerns.
    • Guidance on improving writing skills and presenting ideas effectively.
    • Exposure to previous years’ essay topics and a critical analysis of the same.

    Other than this Zeeshan sir will also share best practices to be followed:

    • Regular writing practice: Choose diverse topics, including philosophical ones, for regular practice.
    • Read widely: Broaden your understanding and perspective by reading widely, including philosophy, sociology, psychology, current affairs, etc.
    • Brainstorming: For every topic, spend some time brainstorming different ideas, views, and arguments before starting to write.
    • Outline your essay: Always create an outline to ensure your essay is structured and coherent.
    • Choose your essay topic wisely: Your understanding of the topic and comfort level should determine your choice.
    • Time management: Allocate sufficient time for understanding the topic, brainstorming ideas, creating an outline, writing the essay, and reviewing it.
    • Maintain a balanced view: If the topic is debatable, present both sides of the argument before taking a stand.
    • Use effective language: Avoid grammatical and spelling errors.
    • Ensure flow and coherence: The essay should be logically structured, and each paragraph should flow

    The significance of a 430+ GS mains score cannot be overstated. It not only ensures your selection in the UPSC exam but also puts you in the league of top rankers. However, many aspirants miss out on this crucial aspect of UPSC mains preparation. They start answer writing too late, lack the right approach, and fail to integrate their mains preparation with prelims.

    But Kunal Aggarwal cracked this code early on, thanks to the strategic interventions of his mentor, Sajal Singh sir. With Sajal sir’s guidance, Kunal consistently scored 430+ in every UPSC Mains he wrote, a feat that speaks volumes about the effectiveness of the answer writing techniques and strategies he followed.

    In the Mains exam hall, it is all about execution. UPSC Toppers focus on certain fundamental principles and they follow them firmly and perfectly.

    • Identifying and tackling directive words and tail words in the Mains Question. There are more than 30 directives and you must answer according to that only. We will discuss how to approach an answer wrt to these directives
    • When, where, and how to use diagrams, flowcharts, tables, etc? It is a common notion that more diagrams = more marks, but this is not true. You must draw diagrams/flowcharts to address certain parts of the question only. 
    • Understanding the core and non-core parts of the questions. There is one part of the Mains question that is directly asked and is an obvious question. The non-core part at times might not be obvious but you must address that. 
    • How to use anecdotes, facts, data, examples, and case studies? – even using the most common ones in the most impactful manner, in such a manner that it fetches you more marks
    • How to answer a question with limited content or knowledge? Basically – Bouncer/googly questions. Keywords in question: Kunal will thoroughly explain what each keyword means. Analyzing critically is different from explaining or elaborating. So, how to read the question carefully and then start answering?
    • How to complete the mock and UPSC Main paper in 3 hours? And what should be the correct sequence of answering sections in the Mains paper? This is very essential to maintain your speed as well as consistency in your thinking process. 
    • Making a trade-off between quality and quantity in your answers. You might now be able to recall every info for all the answers.
    • When to write answers in Paragraph form and when to write in heading, subheading, and points? What should be the ideal length of a sentence, paragraph, and number of points?
    • What should be the strategy for UPSC 2023 Mains aspirants especially for the last 45 days?

    How to prepare for UPSC and UPPSC (State PSC) in an integrated manner? LIVE with UPSC Ranker, Topper of UPPSC (Rank 4) & BPSC (Rank 13) Kunal Gaurav

    31th July @ 5:00 pm | Harmonizing UPSC and State PSC exam preparation | Realistic Preparation, Practical Strategies by Kunal Gaurav | Click below and register for the session

    We know the journey to crack the UPSC exam is no cakewalk. That’s why many of you adopt a smart Plan B strategy, preparing for multiple exams simultaneously. And hey, can you blame anyone? State PSC exams like UPPSC, MPSC, RPSC, BPSC, etc share almost identical patterns, syllabus, and exam cycle with UPSC, making it a logical move.

    Now, with UPSC being super competitive and offering limited vacancies, exploring state-level exams like UPPSC (Uttar Pradesh Public Service Commission) as an alternative option totally makes sense. It’s like widening your horizons, right?

    Kunal Gaurav cracked all three- UPSC, UPPSC (Rank 4) and BPSC (Rank 13) in 2021

    The Need for an Integrated Approach for UPSC and State PSC

    In the pursuit of two goals, and securing a strong backup, aspirants may unintentionally sabotage both UPSC and state PSC exam preparations.

    The idea of integrated preparation is to make both journeys smoother and more efficient, and complement both UPSC and UPPSC (state PSC) preparations, leading to success in both exams!

    Who should attend this Clarity with Ranker session?

    • Aspirants preparing for the UPSC 2024-25 and State PSC exam.
    • Those who feel their preparation is getting sabotaged by preparing for two exams at once.
    • Aspirants looking for an integrated approach and time table.
    • Aspirants having no guidance for their UPSC journey.
    • Aspirants unable to understand and fill critical gaps in their Civil Services preparation.
    • Candidates looking for practical strategies rather than generic guidance.

    Kunal Gaurav, Civilsdaily’s UPSC mentorship student under Sajal sir, and UPSC, UPPSC, BPSC exam topper will take a LIVE session. He’ll delve into the ins and outs of a well-defined Plan B and how an integrated approach can be the ultimate game-changer to crack both UPSC and UPPSC (or any other state PSC).
