    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TQmjb2MYt4&feature=youtu.be

     

    This year’s paper was marginally easier(marginally meaning by a small amount) than last year.

    Our estimate of this year’s cut-off is 100-103.

    Please remember, more often than not you will get 2-3 marks less when you see your scorecard than what you had totaled up from the keys.

    Our Prelims Prime TS is a kickass course.

    SAMANVAYA: Students Preparing for UPSC 2020 > Come join US !

    Dear Students, 

    As prelims conclude, we have started getting emails, messages of students who have benefitted from our programs.

    Students who have sincerely attempted our Test Series have appreciated the repeated questions. We will be publishing a post highlighting the hit-rate soon. Of course, we are saddened by the fact that many of our students didn’t make it. However, this is the nature of the exam. The seats are limited and only those limited number of students will get through.

    After numerous conversations with you all, we have started understanding your problems better and also standardizing solutions for the most generic problems that you might face. 

    These are being incorporated in our Samanvaya program. It is these practices that will make the program more effective.

    At the core of Samanvaya lies the fact that each one of you will have a unique journey while preparing for the exam. Some will get through on the first attempt without much effort while others will take both more time and more effort. We want to understand you better to help you optimize your journey so you can focus on the right things and not waste time on the wrong ones. We are asking you to tap into the valuable experiences of mentors who underwent the same grind and realize the pitfalls and understand the shortcuts to make it.

    Samanvaya program involves the following –

    1. Identifying your weaknesses

    Over 80% of students who claimed to have revised NCERTs 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 help you 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 Help you keep motivated by ensuring you are actively and passively studying every day. Focused telegram groups to foster discussions.

    Samanvaya Code of Conduct

    • Be honest with your mentors about your preparation levels and stage.
    • Follow their advice and participate in tests and assignments that they set for you
    • Stay active in the telegram groups, ask doubts, don’t hold yourself back.
    • Don’t expect spoonfeeding. You have to drive the initiative.

  • Topper Testimonial: Kunal Aggarwal, AIR 211 | Epitome of Unyielding Dedication

    Topper Testimonial: Kunal Aggarwal, AIR 211 | Epitome of Unyielding Dedication

    Personifying a ‘never-say-die attitude’, Kunal is a charismatic young man whose passion for civil services is equated by his calm composure and humility. After his B.Tech (Computer Sc. and Engineering) from IIT, Hyderabad; Kunal had been working in a reputed MNC for 3 yrs until his decision to take on the UPSC.

    We get emails thanking us all around the year. But Kunal happens to be very special. He is one of our first few students (among Anudeep AIR 1, Jitendra AIR 392, etc) who joined us when we were starting out to change the way students learn and prepare for exam.

    His testimonial says it all.

  • Still not joined a crash course! Don’t waste time waiting. Get a headstart.

    Prelims Exam requires meticulous planning and preparation. You can expect very detailed not so direct questions from popular topics and broad based questions from topics that have not been that frequent in news.
    To be honest, preparing all by yourself is possible but its more exhausting and painful. Ensuring that you have enough knowledge about a certain topic to be able to attempt the question in Prelims requires more than just reading daily newspapers or covering few other sources.
    Our SIP Program is the Crash Course you need. It will help you develop a grip on Current Affairs. Ensuring that you memorize every small item of our SIP Material will definitely help you clear the first hurdle.
