    Bucks4Bugs: An initiative to reward our sincere test takers

    Click here to enroll for the Prelims Prime TS

    Dear Students,

    Hope you are having a good (moderately tough) time attempting the mocks. We admire the efforts you guys put at maintaining the virtuous cycle of learning and assessments. Nothing comes close to that level of sincerity.

    While yours is truly the herculean task of being at the top of your game all the time, there’s a lot that goes under the hood at our end as well. There are many steps involved in topic selection, question creation, selection, review, upload. And then we hold a mock-drill at our end to ensure integrity at all stages.

    Despite multiple checks at each level, some questions with minor errors creep in. Regardless, we boast of an error percentage of 0.5%. That’s about 10 times better than the industry standard.

    Impressive but not satisfactory. We want to push the boundaries further to ensure our programs are as perfect as they can be.

    Recognizing the role of our most sincere students in achieving our aim is very crucial. Hence, we have come up with our own Bucks4Bugs Programme.

    Find a bug; Earn a buck.

    If you are the first one to comment on a question and your comment is accepted leading to changes, you will win the following amount –

    1. Fundamental Error.

    Requires the question or the options to be rephrased – Rs. 200

    2. Incorrect option selected as correct answer – Rs. 100

    3. Explanation Improvement – Rs. 100

    Once you clock in Rs. 1000, you will have the option of getting it transferred to your paytm account. Amounts below that have the option of being redeemed against any of our programs.

    4. Grammatical Errors – Rs. 50

    We believe such a system will encourage students to appear for tests on time and be rigorous with revisions. It immensely benefits us as errors and issues are reported in a systematic manner and that too very quickly.

  • Prime Prelims Test Series 2020 Time Table Released

    Enroll now by clicking here. 

    Dear students,

    As you are aware, UPSC has an exceptionally vast syllabus. And it is a very complex task to come up with a study-plan/time-time table that harmonizes every element and takes into consideration the return on investment on certain topics.

    We are hell-bent on simplifying things for you. Hence, we have come up with a plan that you will instantly connect with you and give you a vibe that yes you can do it!

    1. Integrated Approach

    Preparation for Prelims and Mains is harmonized. You study a subject, attempt prelims tests and then attempt mains tests for the same. This leads to a solid preparation.

    Many institutes our there will not able to present an integrated approach. They offer separate timetables for prelims and mains confusing the students further. That’s not the case with us!

    2. Simplified Approach

    Our Time-table is the easiest to remember and follow. All tests prelims, mains and Samachar Manthan will be held on the weekend.

    • Prelims Tests are held on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month.
    • CA Tests are held on the last Saturday of every month.

    Simple enough? We thought so.

    3. Priority-wise Coverage of subjects

    We are starting with the most important subjects from the exam perspective first. These are very predictable + have a very high return on investment. They need to be mastered if one has to have a shot at the exam. Polity, Modern History, and Economics. The lower priority ones follow.

    4. Logical Division of Topics

    Subjects have been divided into topics that logically fit together. Eg. for Polity we ask you to prepare in 2 parts – first, till Central Government and second, from State Government and beyond. This division is not ad-hoc and does not break the flow of your studies.

    5. Base and Advanced Sources

    We have divided the sources into 2 parts, Base Sources, and Advanced Sources. Base sources are those which you have to master. You should come to advanced sources only when you are thorough with the Base Sources.

  • 2014 – UPSC Prelims Previous Year Paper : Attempt Test Live + All India Rank

    At Civilsdaily, we have been able to decode many of the repeating themes and trends of the actual UPSC exam. These have become best practices that we incorporate while making questions for our Test Series and Open Tests.

    Despite that, we cannot stress enough on the importance of attempting the actual UPSC exam paper in exam settings. There are 3 things you will gain out of it.  

    1. Some questions get repeated directly from previous year papers. More often than not, they are not the easy ones and are almost impossible to solve if one has not attempted them before. 
    2. Practice the Tikdam Technique that our test series would have helped you develop.
    3. There are many questions from offbeat topics that are impossible for any test series to predict. The themes of these topics become important.

    At least 2014-2016 papers are a must and one should remember all questions from these.

    We see a change in pattern from the 2017 Prelims exam onwards. Hence, the 2017 & 2018 papers become very important.

    Here we present the 2014 Prelims Paper.

    *Please note – Our Test Series has far more detailed explanations and remarks. These solutions were prepared on the same day the exam happened. Hence they are not that detailed to appeal to a layman.
