    Know more about the Shubham Sir’s Masterclass

    You have 85 days after Prelims for Mains 2025. This is far less time than what students had this year. If you are not gearing up your preparation in the next 4 months, your Mains attempt will be in jeopardy. Hence, having a roadmap at this point becomes crucial.

    In the next 4 months, you need to follow these steps on a ritual basis:

    (1) Consolidating your notes: Whatever notes you have made so far, consolidate them. You need to know how to do this at this stage. If you don’t master this skill now, you risk doing it incorrectly later.

    (2) Mastering the art of brainstorming through PYQs: This is the time to thoroughly analyze Mains PYQs. Understand the need and demand of the exam, brainstorm key points, and focus on value addition to your answers. With AI already raising the bar for value addition, this ritual is now more crucial than ever.

    (3) Practicing effective answer writing: Post-Prelims, most of your time will be devoted to Optional answer writing and value addition. You may not be able to write many full-length GS tests at that point. Therefore, the next 4 months are critical for solidifying your GS answer writing practice.

    Join Shubham Jatte Sir, Senior IAS Mentor, who has guided many rankers through the Smash Mains program, and learn how you can make the most of the next 4 months to secure a top IAS rank next year.

    About Civilsdaily Mentorship Philosophy:

    At Civilsdaily, we treat Mentorship as a specialization. Not every Mains or interview candidate can be a mentor. Most such mentors will suggest cosmetic changes and will only help you evolve slowly. It is easy to find comfort in sentences like ‘every topper is different’ and’ they have their own path’. Finding what’s different about you and then figuring out your own path is why Mentorship is essential.

    We walk the talk by helping you craft your own way of preparation. A method that enhances your probability of qualifying UPSC-CSE in a single attempt. We give you that near-perfect certainty. Delivering this consistently to hundreds of aspirants (now rankers) in the past was challenging. We still stick to it and keep getting better at it with each passing year.

    At CD, we understand the science and the art of everything UPSC. If you have a problem, we will sit with you and find a solution. If that doesn’t work, then we try solution 2. Eventually, we will make sure you end up making progress. What’s the point of any content, program, or mentorship without progress? This is precisely why aspirants trust they have the best shot at clearing the exam with Civilsdaily.

    We invest a significant amount of time, effort, and energy into creating lectures, notes, and tests, understanding your needs as an aspirant. We take this responsibility seriously because, ultimately, your future depends on it.

    The heart of the Civilsdaily platform is the Yearlong Mentorship Program. For years, aspirants have enrolled here because they couldn’t find such depth and passion towards quality content and Mentorship anywhere. Their search inevitably ends at Civilsdaily. Enrollment in these programs and Mentorship also makes us accountable to aspirants for the value they get.

    In the past few years, we’ve worked quietly in the background with hundreds of aspirants; many now serve as IAS, IPS, IFS and more. We are very proud of what we’ve achieved.Overwhelmed by quick fixes, content overload and messy timetables which never work? Join us as we take you through a realistic and relatable roadmap for UPSC 2026 preparation. 

    In this masterclass, you will get:

    1. A 45-minute deep dive on how to plan your UPSC strategy from the start to the end.
    2. How do first-attempt IAS Rankers get the most out of their one year prep?
    3. Insider tips that only the top IAS and IPS rankers know and apply to get rank.

    By the end, you’ll have razor-sharp clarity and a clear path to crack UPSC with confidence and near-perfect certainty.

    We’re excited to invite you to a masterclass that not only covers complete paper -wise analysis of UPSC Mains 2024.

    The UPSC CSE GS papers were recently completed, and we at Civilsdaily came live to give you our first reactions on those days. As promised, we will be bringing you detailed discussions on all the GS papers—GS Paper 1, 2, 3, and 4—in a 4-day conclave.

    The session will be held both offline and online from 25th September to 28th September 2024 at 5 PM.

    This year’s papers were a mixed bag, with UPSC covering a wide range of question types— from easy to moderate and moderate to difficult. They asked everything, from changing the name of a tornado to a twister, to out-of-the-box questions like merging urban and rural local bodies. There was also an opinion-based question in the mains format: “Is the Supreme Court of India the most powerful judiciary in the world?” The Ethics paper was lengthy, while GS Paper 3 followed the expected lines of previous year questions (PYQs). Overall, UPSC CSE Mains truly stood out from all other exams.

    Our detailed discussion won’t be just a list of ChatGPT-driven pointers, but rather the result of the serious efforts our mentors have put into identifying the nuances of the papers for you. From the 25th to the 28th, we will be focusing on the following:

    1) Live Answer Writing for all 4 GS papers
    2) Key Focus Areas, including:

    • Introductions and Conclusion Frameworks
    • Dimension Generation—Applying Key Frameworks
    • Application of the 10:6 and 15:8 Formula

    3) Handling Applied Questions—Developing effective Reading and Notes Making Frameworks

    Register for the free masterclass on ‘Note Making for UPSC 2025’ on 22nd Sept 2024 at 8 PM


    We’re excited to invite you to a masterclass that not only covers the ‘what‘ but also the ‘why’ andhow‘ of mastering GS notes making for UPSC 2025.

    For UPSC 2025, aspirants will have less time between Prelims and Mains. They will get at least 30 days fewer than in previous years. Therefore, it is crucial for aspirants to prepare their GS notes before the Prelims next year.

    Note-making is a technique—a very useful one, in our opinion. No one achieves a rank without making notes. As your exam approaches, notes become crucial for revision. When we say note-making is an art, we mean it requires multiple iterations to perfect. Any successful ranker you come across will have notes fine-tuned to perfection.

    Notes – Revision – Answer writing: this is the correct chronology. Note-making eventually leads to micro notes, which are all you need for timely revision, especially during the final days before your exam. Since there is less time between Prelims and Mains, these notes will be your saviour.

    So, how do you start the process and execute the entire cycle to perfection? Swati Ma’am, IFS 2022, is here to help! She will be conducting a masterclass on 22nd September 2024 at 8 PM, focusing on three key pillars:

    1. Multiple iterations in note-making to achieve micro notes
    2. Value addition to those micro notes
    3. Perfect notes leading to perfect answers

    Swati Sandeep is currently serving as IFS officer. She has achieved this in one attempt itself and understands the biggest challenges aspirants face with respect to notes making and UPSC prep in general. Join her on Sunday, 22nd September, at 8 PM!

    By joining this Civilsdaily webinar, you’ll be equipped with tools and strategies that can tip the balance in your favour, turning your preparation from good to great.

    Don’t just prepare—excel! Join us to transform your approach to notes making and make your 2025 goals a reality.

    See you in the masterclass.

    We’re excited to invite you to a masterclass that not only covers the ‘what‘ but also the ‘how‘ of mastering current affairs for 2025.

    Current Affairs has always been a challenging aspect for UPSC aspirants. With too many sources and an abundance of material available both online and offline, along with mainstream newspapers like The Indian Express and The Hindu, aspirants often face the fear of missing out. Additionally, they struggle to balance Current Affairs preparation with GS, optional subjects, and daily answer writing.

    Should you really read newspapers daily, and should you go a step further by making notes from them? We don’t recommend this, nor do some of our rankers. So, how can you effectively cover Current Affairs without reading the newspaper every day?

    [Must Have For UPSC 2025 & 2026 Aspirants] Introducing Civilsdaily’s UPSC-CSE Starter Kit || Register To Access Now, For Free

    Hello Aspirants,

    Prayas here. I am here to talk to you about something special today.

    Something that we specially created to give you the best start for your preparation.

    “Everything we do, we do keeping our mentorship program students in mind” is a line you’ve probably come across repeatedly in our posts, webinars, and YouTube videos. It’s so pervasive because it’s the truth; as a pioneer in high-quality and sharp mentorship-driven UPSC prep platform, we can’t afford to be any other way.

    But you’ve probably read that sentiment most often in the context of our paid programs, which are meant for our program-enrolled aspirants. The Lacs of free aspirants who’ve signed up with us over these past few years perhaps fade into the background.

    A majority of these aspirants did not just sign up for the (occasional) Free GS and current affairs content we post or scholarships, as well as free mock tests. They signed up—and continue to sign up—because they wanted to truly understand what Civilsdaily IAS is and why aspirants and rankers they know and respect – follow and speak highly of us, our content and our mentorship.

    Our original free starter kit was designed to give these aspirants a quick taste of this experience: They got daily current affairs on the website, access to ranker sessions, and occasionally, we release original, deeply researched, PYQ-backed content on the website for free.

    But as we’ve evolved and rolled out a bunch of new content themes, such as GS micro themes, Essay content, PYQ-based mocks, and more, our current free starter kit has started falling short. It no longer reflects the breadth and depth of the ‘value’ we offer for a rank-worthy UPSC Prep.

    This post is our answer to this problem…

    We have launched a revamped ‘Free UPSC-CSE Starter Kit’ and want you to access it first.

    Aspirants who start their preparation journey with CD (open to every aspirant) will now be presented with deeply researched, original and carefully curated UPSC Prep content. 

    Your ‘Free UPSC-CSE Starter Kit’ now includes –

    • Yearlong Strategy document + Macro Plan
    • PYQ analysis for pre and mains
    • Ranker sessions
    • Pre and Mains workshops
    • PYQ based – Micro Themes for GS papers (Pre + Mains)
    • Essay enrichment content with 50+ Intro and Anecdotes From Rankers
    • Atomic and Flash Notes and much more…
    • Access to few PYQ-based Mock tests.

    One key limitation of our previous free starter plan was the lack of a ‘One 1:1 mentorship call’. As more and more aspirants realise the immense value and impact of CD’s mentorship (Check AIR-2 Animesh Pradhan’s UPSC Journey), they opt for our mentorship programs – UAP and Foundation. But the same was not true for other aspirants. They only occasionally heard about it from others but have yet to experience the CD mentorship.

    That changes with this new ‘Free UPSC-CSE Starter Kit’ from Civilsdaily.

    We want all other aspirants (Who are not part of our mentorship programs) to be able to access ‘1:1 Mentorship’.

    It’s still only a tiny fraction of the kind of access our program-enrolled aspirants get. Still, we believe it will give them a taste of our mentorship’s value, at least getting them started on the right path.

    This brings us to the – Free UPSC-CSE Starter Kit – Click Here 

    To schedule your One Free 1:1 Mentorship Call – Click Here 

    This is where you’ll find all the necessary content—your very own toolkit and guide to help you stay on top of your UPSC-CSE Prep. Remember: We’ll keep updating this folder almost every week so keep checking for new content.

    So go ahead and access your Starter Kit.

    Read about AIR-2 Animesh Pradhan (Civilsdaily UAP Mentorship Student) UPSC and Mentorship Journey

    Animesh Pradhan, Age 24, Attempt: 1st, UPSC-CSE AIR 2.
    A graduate of NIT Rourkela, working as a full-time employee in Indian Oil Corp., he cleared UPSC CSE on his first attempt at the age of 24. He lost his father at an early age and was left with his Mother and elder sister. Unfortunately, his Mother passed away 40 days ago and couldn’t see her Son’s success and cherish it. His sister got married in January last year. He is a very committed, humble, and diligent student with high professional skills in managing work and studies.

Even though one wish in these two remained unachieved, wherever his mother is, her wishes will be with him, and if there is heaven at all, she might be celebrating this in that heaven.

    We hope he achieves much more success and wish him enough grit to achieve whatever he wants in life. We expect him not to stop here and make this a mere small achievement in his list of aspirations.

    Why Civilsdaily Mentorship and Programs Are Unique?

    The heart of the Civilsdaily platform is the Foundation Program and Ultimate Assessment Program (UAP). For years, aspirants have enrolled here because they couldn’t find such depth and passion towards quality content and Mentorship anywhere. Their search inevitably ends at Civilsdaily. Enrollment in these programs and Mentorship also makes us accountable to aspirants for the value they get. 

    In the past few years, we’ve worked quietly in the background with hundreds of aspirants; many now serve as IAS, IPS, IFS, and more. We are very proud of what we’ve achieved. Here are some of the recent rankers who show us gratitude.

    About Civilsdaily Mentorship Philosophy:

    At Civilsdaily, we treat Mentorship as a specialization. Not every Mains or interview candidate can be a mentor. Most such mentors will suggest cosmetic changes and will only help you evolve slowly. It is easy to find comfort in sentences like ‘every topper is different’ and’ they have their own path’. Finding what’s different about you and then figuring out your own path is why Mentorship is essential.

    We walk the talk by helping you craft your own way of preparation. A method that enhances your probability of qualifying UPSC-CSE in a single attempt. We give you that near-perfect certainty. Delivering this consistently to hundreds of aspirants (now rankers) in the past was challenging. We still stick to it and keep getting better at it with each passing year.

    At CD, we understand the science and the art of everything UPSC. If you have a problem, we will sit with you and find a solution. If that doesn’t work, then we try solution 2. Eventually, we will make sure you end up making progress. What’s the point of any content, program, or mentorship without progress? This is precisely why aspirants trust they have the best shot at clearing the exam with Civilsdaily.

    We invest a significant amount of time, effort, and energy into creating lectures, notes, and tests, understanding your needs as an aspirant. We take this responsibility seriously because, ultimately, your future depends on it.

    The heart of the Civilsdaily platform is the Yearlong Mentorship Program. For years, aspirants have enrolled here because they couldn’t find such depth and passion towards quality content and Mentorship anywhere. Their search inevitably ends at Civilsdaily. Enrollment in these programs and Mentorship also makes us accountable to aspirants for the value they get.

    In the past few years, we’ve worked quietly in the background with hundreds of aspirants; many now serve as IAS, IPS, IFS and more. We are very proud of what we’ve achieved.Overwhelmed by quick fixes, content overload and messy timetables which never work? Join us as we take you through a realistic and relatable roadmap for UPSC 2026 preparation. 

    In this masterclass, you will get:

    1. A 45-minute deep dive on how to plan your UPSC strategy from the start to the end.
    2. How do first-attempt IAS Rankers get the most out of their one year prep?
    3. Insider tips that only the top IAS and IPS rankers know and apply to get rank.

    By the end, you’ll have razor-sharp clarity and a clear path to crack UPSC with confidence and near-perfect certainty.

    Why Civilsdaily Mentorship and Programs Are Unique?

    Element No. 1: The System

    The first element of the powerful mentorship program at CD is – The System.

    The system is the method that is used during the program. One of the first surprising elements of a Civilsdaily program is that we do an early assessment of the current stage of aspirants. This is done in 10+ dimensions. Along with that, you get a lot of study material in advance. Unlike other courses that give you average content when the course begins, you get high-quality content for UPSC Prep well in advance. The reason for this is simple: The Mentor is not around to create “shock and awe”. Instead, the element that really helps learning is the “safe zone”. When aspirants get the material in advance, it gives them time to learn and absorb it. And then, when the initial assessments happen in the form of mock tests, the aspirant is able to apply the learning.

    One big reason we fail to learn and progress in UPSC Prep is that we do not have time to practice and attempt mocks. 

    No one is around to correct our mistakes. All we get is an endless stream of information, and mastery over exam is further away than ever. The notes themselves need design: lots of examples, relevance to PYQs, and easy-to-read language. The syllabus content needs to be broken up into consumable chunks. It’s design, design and more design. Check our atomic and flash notes, and you will understand what we mean. A well-constructed system is the first element of the program at CD but by no means the most important.

    Trying to cope with breathless content all at once is extremely intimidating for the aspirants. When you’re in a Civilsdaily Mentorship program, you get the content well in advance. There’s no need to create “shock and awe” while mentoring. You learn better when you know and own the content, using the course to practice and get better at it instead.

    Element No. 2: The Group

    A journey of a thousand miles can be really intimidating without a group because UPSC -CSE requires MCQ and answer writing aptitude, which requires constant practice. When you work alone, it’s easy to give up or get distracted. A group is what gets you ahead. But how do you get a group that’s focused, smart, and helpful? Do such groups even exist?

    There’s a saying in Africa: If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a group. And yet, not any group will do, will it? You’ve been in Telegram groups before, and the terms “kind, helpful and smart” don’t come to mind, do they?

    The one thing that will amaze you at Civilsdaily is how much you come to rely on your group. At first, many aspirants assume that their progress is a lonely journey. They learn what’s required, do their mocks, and when the course is done, they get to the finish line.

    And yet habit-creation reveals something entirely different.

    Snagging a bad habit is relatively easy. The moment you have to build a “good habit,” it’s a lot harder to stay motivated—unless, of course, you have a group.

    The aspirant groups at the Civilsdaily course are brilliant, focused and helpful.

    It almost seems hard to find such an active, helpful bunch of people. And the reason why you’ll find this level of camaraderie here, is because of several reasons. But the biggest reason of all is because we’re selective.

    We only let people in if they pass our filters.

    We also will not have overloading of any kind. Our program accepts limited aspirants. You simply will not see the ocean full of aspirants you see on other courses. Finally, we break up the groups into even smaller groups of six or seven aspirants. We keep it small and focused. This gets you closer to the finish line. In short, you go far.

    Element No. 3: Daily and Weekly Practice

    Without practice, mastery of this exam is difficult. Without daily and weekly practice, you have a “decay problem.” Other courses will give you content and mocks once a month and won’t provide any kind of mentor feedback. This is a recipe for disaster. You won’t know if you are making any progress at all. 

    That’s not how we run our programs.

    When you’re a part of the Civilsdaily Mentorship program, whether you’re a beginner or veteran, you have a schedule that is unique to you and your requirements for the duration of the program. As you’d expect, all this is designed with “tiny increments” in mind, but it is the daily and weekly practice that keeps away the decay.

    And everything is enriched with a 1:1 mentor call.

    Your Mentor checks your preparation and works with you to ensure progress—there is no exception. This enables you to learn bit by bit instead of being dumped with endless content that you might never use in an exam. When you consider all three elements: the system, the group, and the daily and weekly practice, you are able to create a habit. This habit leads to success in exam.

    Any new subject or mock can be a little unnerving when you don’t get regular practice. Our program is designed to help you learn layer by layer, and it involves small steps done daily. That way, if you press the “wrong button,” we can learn from the mistake, fix it, and move ahead at an even pace.

    This attention to detail is what makes the Civilsdaily Mentorship Program among the best. But you’ll find that out for yourself.

    Read about AIR-48′ IAS, Aaditya Pandey’s UPSC Mentorship Journey & Preparation

    I’m Aaditya. I got rank 48 in UPSC 2022. I believe, thinking about and preparing for UPSC can feel exciting and a bit scary. I’ve been in your shoes, and now I want to help you through it.

    Whether you can immerse yourself in preparation for 7-8 hours daily or are a UPSC warrior balancing work or college with 4-5 hours of study, remember, it’s about quality, not just quantity.

    Join me for a Zoom session on Sept 08th, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. It’s for everyone, whether you’re new to UPSC or you’ve tried before but are targeting a Top 50 rank in UPSC 2026.

    In the session, we will discuss how to start and strategize your prep for UPSC 2026. I will share a precise stepwise study plan and approach for a top 50 rank. I will also discuss the philosophy of UPSC prep, what UPSC expects, and how you should adapt to meet those expectations.

    We will deal with all the aspects for a comprehensive UPSC preparation.

    We’ll talk about starting with the basics, NCERTs that aren’t just textbooks but your foundation stones. You will have to complement this with a disciplined approach to reading newspapers and covering CA. It’s not about skimming through; it’s about understanding the world around you, which is crucial for both Prelims and Mains.

    Gradually how to progress to standard books, but do so with a strategy. You don’t just read; you analyze and understand. And here’s where the mindset plays a massive role. Transforming from an aspirant to a top ranker isn’t just about hard work but smart work, the right attitude, and persistence.

    Focus on mastering answer writing should be from early on. Your notes should be concise, clear, and, most importantly, useful. You have to learn to weave current affairs with static portions seamlessly. This isn’t just preparation; it’s about building a habit, a discipline that will stand you in good stead for UPSC and life.

    I’ve talked to thousands of UPSC hopefuls on YouTube and through Civilsdaily. I know what you’re up against because I’ve been there. In this webinar, I’ll also share my notes with you.

    I genuinely believe std. resources and mock tests are not enough now to get a rank in UPSC CSE.

    One must consider the overall preparation strategy and how he/she will approach the exam.

    Now you need to define the exact plan.

    This thinking gives you an edge over others in the exam. You become relaxed and confident throughout the journey, which is otherwise filled with lots of daily anxiety, fear, and uncertainty.

    This Sunday, I am coming to help you create your own preparation plan, especially if you are a beginner. You must attend this.

    My masterclass will be a reality check on modern-day UPSC prep. Not just my book list and strategy but also my inputs on your current strategy shared with you over our private Zoom meeting.”

    Join me on 08th Sept, at 7 PM, for an exclusive webinar on UPSC 2026 preparation roadmap and how to perform at the alpha level in your very first attempt.


    It will be a practical webinar and here’s what we will be discussing:

    1. Micro Timetable for 2026 & How should an absolute beginner start his/ her UPSC 2026 prep? What are the high yielding areas that are quick to conquer and necessary to master.
    2. Important Micro-themes for GS Papers (Absolute negotiable for every beginner) – If you miss mastering these, forget your rank, you will risk even your mental health – so get them right
    3. Note-Making and Answer Writing & UPSC PYQs to show the difference between a beginner vs. a ranker’s attempt to the same question.

    “My UPSC preparation and the academic rigour I applied in the process help me today to deal with the complex challenges of the ministry.”

    Gautam Mohakul, Deputy Controller of Accounts, Ministry of Finance

    Read what Gautam Sir has to say about UPSC Journey and Post Selection Life As An Officer

    As aspirants preparing for the UPSC exam, we are tested on many levels—maintaining consistency, managing time, and having a never-give-up attitude, while ensuring deadlines are met at any cost. Perhaps that’s why this exam is considered more of an attitude-based exam than one based solely on aptitude. So, why does the UPSC CSE exam focus so much on temperament and other virtues like patience and perseverance?

    The answer to this question lies in the challenges that civil servants face in their everyday lives. Civil services are not just another 9-to-5 job; the behavioural traits that aspirants develop during their preparation help them navigate the challenges they encounter in service. The rigor that aspirants apply during their exam preparation proves invaluable when taking on important positions in districts or handling complex tasks in ministries.

    Join us this Sunday, 1st September 2024, at 5:30 PM, for a session with Gautam Mohakul Sir, who is at the helm of affairs at the Ministry of Finance. He will share his in-service experiences and how he applied the skills he learned during his exam preparation to handle various challenges. This session will provide insights into the right mindset required to clear the exam and what life and work are like after becoming a civil servant. See you all this Sunday at 5:30 PM!

    See you in the session.

    [September Batch For UPSC 2025 & 2026] Our UAP Mentorship Student Got AIR 2, Animesh Pradhan, First Attempt, Working Professional. Join UAP 2025 & 2026.

    Animesh Pradhan, Age 24, Attempt: 1st, UPSC-CSE AIR 2.
    A graduate of NIT Rourkela, working as a full-time employee in Indian Oil Corp., he cleared UPSC CSE on his first attempt at the age of 24. He lost his father at an early age and was left with his Mother and elder sister. Unfortunately, his Mother passed away 40 days ago and couldn’t see her Son’s success and cherish it. His sister got married in January last year. He is a very committed, humble, and diligent student with high professional skills in managing work and studies.

    With all the lows in life, he came with the hope that one day, his mother would see him becoming an IAS officer. Even though one wish in these two remained unachieved, wherever his mother is, her wishes will be with him, and if there is heaven at all, she might be celebrating this in that heaven.

    Why Civilsdaily Mentorship and Programs Are Unique?

    Element No. 1: The System

    The first element of the powerful mentorship program at CD is – The System.

    The system is the method that is used during the program. One of the first surprising elements of a Civilsdaily program is that we do an early assessment of the current stage of aspirants. This is done in 10+ dimensions. Along with that, you get a lot of study material in advance. Unlike other courses that give you average content when the course begins, you get high-quality content for UPSC Prep well in advance. The reason for this is simple: The Mentor is not around to create “shock and awe”. Instead, the element that really helps learning is the “safe zone”. When aspirants get the material in advance, it gives them time to learn and absorb it. And then, when the initial assessments happen in the form of mock tests, the aspirant is able to apply the learning.

    One big reason we fail to learn and progress in UPSC Prep is that we do not have time to practice and attempt mocks. 

    No one is around to correct our mistakes. All we get is an endless stream of information, and mastery over exam is further away than ever. The notes themselves need design: lots of examples, relevance to PYQs, and easy-to-read language. The syllabus content needs to be broken up into consumable chunks. It’s design, design and more design. Check our atomic and flash notes, and you will understand what we mean. A well-constructed system is the first element of the program at CD but by no means the most important.

    Trying to cope with breathless content all at once is extremely intimidating for the aspirants. When you’re in a Civilsdaily Mentorship program, you get the content well in advance. There’s no need to create “shock and awe” while mentoring. You learn better when you know and own the content, using the course to practice and get better at it instead.

    Element No. 2: The Group

    A journey of a thousand miles can be really intimidating without a group because UPSC -CSE requires MCQ and answer writing aptitude, which requires constant practice. When you work alone, it’s easy to give up or get distracted. A group is what gets you ahead. But how do you get a group that’s focused, smart, and helpful? Do such groups even exist?

    There’s a saying in Africa: If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a group. And yet, not any group will do, will it? You’ve been in Telegram groups before, and the terms “kind, helpful and smart” don’t come to mind, do they?

    The one thing that will amaze you at Civilsdaily is how much you come to rely on your group. At first, many aspirants assume that their progress is a lonely journey. They learn what’s required, do their mocks, and when the course is done, they get to the finish line.

    And yet habit-creation reveals something entirely different.

    Snagging a bad habit is relatively easy. The moment you have to build a “good habit,” it’s a lot harder to stay motivated—unless, of course, you have a group.

    The aspirant groups at the Civilsdaily course are brilliant, focused and helpful.

    It almost seems hard to find such an active, helpful bunch of people. And the reason why you’ll find this level of camaraderie here, is because of several reasons. But the biggest reason of all is because we’re selective.

    We only let people in if they pass our filters.

    We also will not have overloading of any kind. Our program accepts limited aspirants. You simply will not see the ocean full of aspirants you see on other courses. Finally, we break up the groups into even smaller groups of six or seven aspirants. We keep it small and focused. This gets you closer to the finish line. In short, you go far.

    Element No. 3: Daily and Weekly Practice

    Without practice, mastery of this exam is difficult. Without daily and weekly practice, you have a “decay problem.” Other courses will give you content and mocks once a month and won’t provide any kind of mentor feedback. This is a recipe for disaster. You won’t know if you are making any progress at all. 

    That’s not how we run our programs.

    When you’re a part of the Civilsdaily Mentorship program, whether you’re a beginner or veteran, you have a schedule that is unique to you and your requirements for the duration of the program. As you’d expect, all this is designed with “tiny increments” in mind, but it is the daily and weekly practice that keeps away the decay.

    And everything is enriched with a 1:1 mentor call.

    Your Mentor checks your preparation and works with you to ensure progress—there is no exception. This enables you to learn bit by bit instead of being dumped with endless content that you might never use in an exam. When you consider all three elements: the system, the group, and the daily and weekly practice, you are able to create a habit. This habit leads to success in exam.

    Any new subject or mock can be a little unnerving when you don’t get regular practice. Our program is designed to help you learn layer by layer, and it involves small steps done daily. That way, if you press the “wrong button,” we can learn from the mistake, fix it, and move ahead at an even pace.

    This attention to detail is what makes the Civilsdaily Mentorship Program among the best. But you’ll find that out for yourself.

    The heart of the Civilsdaily platform is the Foundation Program and Ultimate Assessment Program (UAP).

Enrollment in these programs and Mentorship also makes us accountable to aspirants for the value they get. 

    In the past few years, we’ve worked quietly in the background with hundreds of aspirants; many now serve as IAS, IPS, IFS, and more. We are very proud of what we’ve achieved. Here are some of the recent rankers who show us gratitude.

    Register for the free orientation session on 25th August 2024 at 7:00 to take your UPSC-CSE 2025 and 2026 preparation from ‘Zero To Advanced Level’


    Read what Prayas Sir says about Unfair Advantages, Breakthrough Prep Strategies and UPSC Mentorship

    Over 10 Lac aspirants try their luck at UPSC-CSE every year but only handful makes it to the list. Majority of the aspirants prepare in an ‘unconscious mode‘. Meaning they are just dragging themselves through the daily grunt of this prep without realising it is not going anywhere or they have no advantages over others. This is an important question because in the end the seats are limited and unless you can show (via exam process) that you are more deserving than others, its a lost cause and massive waste of your prime career years. I want you to join me this Sunday, 25th Aug 2024 at 7PM and deep dive into these three fundamental questions –

    Question 1 – What are the unfair advantages I have over others in this cut-throat All India Level Competitive exam where seat are always limited?

    Question 2 – What is my prep strategy and how is it better and different from others? Ask Do I even have a prep strategy?

    Question 3 – Do I understand the importance of feedback and mentorship and how it can take me to advance level of prep in just few months?

    Join me on 25th Aug 2024 at 7PM to get these answers and find clarity and focus in your UPSC preparation because if there is any institute that can answer these questions with original and rigorous thinking which is also deeply effective, then that’s Civilsdaily.

    UPSC, IAS, Mentorship, Civilsdaily, Webinar

    Led by a team of experienced and rigorously trained (for the latest UPSC requirements and pattern) Faculties and Mentors, Civilsdaily is the first and only platform to introduce deeply researched UPSC-CSE content and programs led by real-time 1:1 Mentoring. 

    As a UPSC aspirant, you live in a world populated with infinite sources churning out countless content themes endlessly, adding only short-term value to your preparation, if at all. Giving you false hope that your preparation is moving forward. All this is in the name of FREE preparation content. We chose not to play that game.

    Instead, we create only limited content themes and programs every week. But content and program that is original rigorously researched for UPSC requirements by trained faculties and led by Mentors. Just what is actually required to qualify CSE, it’s something we continue to do. 

    At Civilsdaily, we treat Mentorship as a specialization. Not every Mains or interview candidate can be a mentor. Most such mentors will suggest cosmetic changes and will only help you evolve slowly. It is easy to find comfort in sentences like ‘every topper is different’ and’ they have their own path’. Finding what’s different about you and then figuring out your own path is why Mentorship is essential.

    We walk the talk by helping you craft your own way of preparation. A method that enhances your probability of qualifying UPSC-CSE in a single attempt. We give you that near-perfect certainty. Delivering this consistently to hundreds of aspirants (now rankers) in the past was challenging. We still stick to it and keep getting better at it with each passing year. 

    At CD, we understand the science and the art of everything UPSC. If you have a problem, we will sit with you and find a solution. If that doesn’t work, then we try solution 2. Eventually, we will make sure you end up making progress. What’s the point of any content, program, or mentorship without progress? This is precisely why aspirants trust they have the best shot at clearing the exam with Civilsdaily. 

    We invest a significant amount of time, effort, and energy into creating lectures, notes, and tests, understanding your needs as an aspirant. We take this responsibility seriously because, ultimately, your future depends on it.

    The UPSC Mains evolved to another level. Now average answers doesn’t cut it. You need to add X factors in your answers and enrich them using data, facts and reports. Majority aspirants struggle to align their preparation according to the need of this exam.

    Read what IAS Khushhali Solanki, AIR 61 has to say about her Mains Prep

    The UPSC Mains exam has evolved tremendously over time. There was a time when simply writing answers to the 20 questions in 3 hours was enough to secure an interview call. However, that is no longer the case. Nowadays, merely completing the paper is just the basic requirement. Without value addition, cracking the Mains exam has become nearly impossible. Incorporating data, facts, and committees into your answers has become essential.

    With the abundance of sources available now, the challenge lies in collecting and compiling a sufficient amount of data, facts, and committee recommendations in a way that they can be easily revised before the exam. If done correctly, this approach can help you score 450+ in the GS papers, without which an interview call may seem like a distant dream. Therefore, it’s crucial for both beginners and veterans to write answers incorporating these elements to stay competitive.

    Khushhali Solanki Ma’am, IAS, AIR 61 this year, has mastered this art. In her words, it took her 4 years of hard work and 3 attempts, with 2 interviews and 2 mains, to truly understand what it takes to clear this exam with flying colors. Join her session on 16th August at 7 PM to learn how she did it, where she will also share her own notes in the process.


    It will be a 45-minute webinar, post which we will open up the floor for all kinds of queries that a beginner or veteran aspirant must have. No questions are taboo.

    Read about AIR-2′ Animesh Pradhan’s UPSC Mentorship Journey

    This year when UPSC announced its CSE-2023 results, the whole world woke up to a paradigm shift in UPSC Preparation: Mentorship works. And not just works; When done right it produces single digit IAS rankers.

    Animesh Pradhan, student of our UAP 2023 Mentorship program, secured AIR 2 in his very first attempt, while working at Indian Oil and exclusively preparing with us at Civilsdaily.

    It’s after 20 years anyone from Odisha has secured the second rank in the exam. And Animesh did it in style.

    But behind this multi-decadal success were 18 gruelling months of hard core preparation.

    Animesh was preparing with his mentor, Ranadheer Sir and a team of experts who had led AIR 22, AIR 48 to success in UPSC 2022 with the same UAP Mentorship Program.

    While the whole world wakes up to mentorship for the first time in 2024, we have been perfecting the UAP mentorship program for the last 5+ years.

    It is with that proven confidence that on 09th August, at 7 PM, Animesh Pradhan (AIR -2) will be conducting a FREE webinar exclusively for UPSC 2026 aspirants giving you a sneak peak of what it takes to perform at the alpha level in your very first attempt.


    It will be a practical webinar and here’s what we will be discussing:

    1. How should an absolute beginner start his/ her UPSC 2026 prep? What are the high yielding areas that are quick to conquer and necessary to master
    2. Absolute non-negotiables for every beginner – If you miss mastering these, forget your rank, you will risk even your mental health – so get them right
    3. Actual scans of Animesh’ answer writing attempts with UAP 2023 to show you how an aspirant evolves to become a ranker
    4. LIVE UPSC PYQs attempts to show the difference between a beginner vs. a ranker’s attempt to the same question.

    About Civilsdaily Mentorship Philosophy:

    At Civilsdaily, we treat Mentorship as a specialization. Not every Mains or interview candidate can be a mentor. Most such mentors will suggest cosmetic changes and will only help you evolve slowly. It is easy to find comfort in sentences like ‘every topper is different’ and’ they have their own path’. Finding what’s different about you and then figuring out your own path is why Mentorship is essential. We walk the talk by helping you craft your own way of preparation. A method that enhances your probability of qualifying UPSC-CSE in a single attempt. We give you that near-perfect certainty. Delivering this consistently to hundreds of aspirants (now rankers) in the past was challenging. We still stick to it and keep getting better at it with each passing year.

    At CD, we understand the science and the art of everything UPSC. If you have a problem, we will sit with you and find a solution. If that doesn’t work, then we try solution 2. Eventually, we will make sure you end up making progress. What’s the point of any content, program, or mentorship without progress? This is precisely why aspirants trust they have the best shot at clearing the exam with Civilsdaily.

    We invest a significant amount of time, effort, and energy into creating lectures, notes, and tests, understanding your needs as an aspirant. We take this responsibility seriously because, ultimately, your future depends on it.

    The heart of the Civilsdaily platform is the Yearlong Mentorship Program. For years, aspirants have enrolled here because they couldn’t find such depth and passion towards quality content and Mentorship anywhere. Their search inevitably ends at Civilsdaily. Enrollment in these programs and Mentorship also makes us accountable to aspirants for the value they get.

    In the past few years, we’ve worked quietly in the background with hundreds of aspirants; many now serve as IAS, IPS, IFS and more. We are very proud of what we’ve achieved.Overwhelmed by quick fixes, content overload and messy timetables which never work? Join us as we take you through a realistic and relatable roadmap for UPSC 2026 preparation.

    1. A 45-minute deep dive on how to plan your UPSC strategy from the start to the end.
    2. How do first-attempt IAS Rankers get the most out of their one year prep?
    3. Insider tips that only the top IAS and IPS rankers know and apply to get rank.

    UPSC IAS

    A rare session where Mentor and Mentee come together to discuss how they made it happen.

    Introducing Pritesh, our UAP 23 Mentorship student who cleared UPSC with flying colors and is now an IRS officer. His Mentor Shubham Sir ensured that the upcoming 3 months (August to November) were the most productive. Its a crucial period to build a strong base.
    His Mentor Shubham Sir ensured that this period is was utilized effectively
    1. Preparing for prelims and mains in an integrated manner
    2. Ensuring answer writing practice as answer writing takes a lot of time to fix
    3. Proper timetable, planning each day and making progress.

    We will discuss this and much much more – overcoming FOMO, navigating through abundance of resources, By when should you revise your GS? When should you start CSAT?, everything.

    Read about IRS Pritesh’s UPSC Mentorship Journey.

    Starting your UPSC preparation with a timetable is crucial. Mains in 2025 start early in August, so beginning this August gives you exactly 12 months to prepare for the exam. Preparing for prelims and mains in an integrated manner is necessary, and planning each day is essential. Pritesh Sir, now an IRS officer, was part of our UAP 2023 cohort. He credits much of his success to his mentor, Shubham Jatte Sir. Shubham Sir’s methodology, especially regarding content and timetable, worked best for him. Pritesh Sir emphasized the importance of staying consistent, noting that the timetable must be precise, workable, and tailored to the aspirant’s needs, covering all three stages of the exam.

    By when should the optional be finished? By when should you revise your GS? When should you start CSAT? When should you start writing your tests? All these questions are important. Aspirants who are beginning their preparation often experience a lot of FOMO due to the vast syllabus and the abundance of resources. Having a personalized timetable and constant one-on-one discussions with mentors is a proven way to overcome this fear. If you have just started your UPSC preparation or are in the initial days of preparing for this exam, knowing what to do in the upcoming 3 months (August to November) is crucial. Start slow but stay steady—that’s the right mantra.

    Join the live session with IRS Pritesh Sir and Shubham Sir to better understand the dynamics on 6th August, Tuesday at 7 PM.


    It will be a 45 minute webinar, post which we will open up the floor for all kinds of queries which a beginner must have. No questions are taboo and Pritesh & Shubham sir is known to be patiently solving all your doubts.

    Why Civilsdaily Mentorship and Programs Are Unique?

    Element No. 1: The System

    The first element of the powerful mentorship program at CD is – The System.

    The system is the method that is used during the program. One of the first surprising elements of a Civilsdaily program is that we do an early assessment of the current stage of aspirants. This is done in 10+ dimensions. Along with that, you get a lot of study material in advance. Unlike other courses that give you average content when the course begins, you get high-quality content for UPSC Prep well in advance. The reason for this is simple: The Mentor is not around to create “shock and awe”. Instead, the element that really helps learning is the “safe zone”. When aspirants get the material in advance, it gives them time to learn and absorb it. And then, when the initial assessments happen in the form of mock tests, the aspirant is able to apply the learning.

    One big reason we fail to learn and progress in UPSC Prep is that we do not have time to practice and attempt mocks. 

    No one is around to correct our mistakes. All we get is an endless stream of information, and mastery over exam is further away than ever. The notes themselves need design: lots of examples, relevance to PYQs, and easy-to-read language. The syllabus content needs to be broken up into consumable chunks. It’s design, design and more design. Check our atomic and flash notes, and you will understand what we mean. A well-constructed system is the first element of the program at CD but by no means the most important.

    Trying to cope with breathless content all at once is extremely intimidating for the aspirants. When you’re in a Civilsdaily Mentorship program, you get the content well in advance. There’s no need to create “shock and awe” while mentoring. You learn better when you know and own the content, using the course to practice and get better at it instead.

    Element No. 2: The Group

    A journey of a thousand miles can be really intimidating without a group because UPSC -CSE requires MCQ and answer writing aptitude, which requires constant practice. When you work alone, it’s easy to give up or get distracted. A group is what gets you ahead. But how do you get a group that’s focused, smart, and helpful? Do such groups even exist?

    There’s a saying in Africa: If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go with a group. And yet, not any group will do, will it? You’ve been in Telegram groups before, and the terms “kind, helpful and smart” don’t come to mind, do they?

    The one thing that will amaze you at Civilsdaily is how much you come to rely on your group. At first, many aspirants assume that their progress is a lonely journey. They learn what’s required, do their mocks, and when the course is done, they get to the finish line.

    And yet habit-creation reveals something entirely different.

    Snagging a bad habit is relatively easy. The moment you have to build a “good habit,” it’s a lot harder to stay motivated—unless, of course, you have a group.

    The aspirant groups at the Civilsdaily course are brilliant, focused and helpful.

    It almost seems hard to find such an active, helpful bunch of people. And the reason why you’ll find this level of camaraderie here, is because of several reasons. But the biggest reason of all is because we’re selective.

    We only let people in if they pass our filters.

    We also will not have overloading of any kind. Our program accepts limited aspirants. You simply will not see the ocean full of aspirants you see on other courses. Finally, we break up the groups into even smaller groups of six or seven aspirants. We keep it small and focused. This gets you closer to the finish line. In short, you go far.

    Element No. 3: Daily and Weekly Practice

    Without practice, mastery of this exam is difficult. Without daily and weekly practice, you have a “decay problem.” Other courses will give you content and mocks once a month and won’t provide any kind of mentor feedback. This is a recipe for disaster. You won’t know if you are making any progress at all. 

    That’s not how we run our programs.

    When you’re a part of the Civilsdaily Mentorship program, whether you’re a beginner or veteran, you have a schedule that is unique to you and your requirements for the duration of the program. As you’d expect, all this is designed with “tiny increments” in mind, but it is the daily and weekly practice that keeps away the decay.

    And everything is enriched with a 1:1 mentor call.

    Your Mentor checks your preparation and works with you to ensure progress—there is no exception. This enables you to learn bit by bit instead of being dumped with endless content that you might never use in an exam. When you consider all three elements: the system, the group, and the daily and weekly practice, you are able to create a habit. This habit leads to success in exam.

    Any new subject or mock can be a little unnerving when you don’t get regular practice. Our program is designed to help you learn layer by layer, and it involves small steps done daily. That way, if you press the “wrong button,” we can learn from the mistake, fix it, and move ahead at an even pace.

    This attention to detail is what makes the Civilsdaily Mentorship Program among the best. But you’ll find that out for yourself.

    Read what AIR-225 Nevin Kuruvilla Thomas says about his UPSC Journey

    Ethics, Essay, and optional subjects are key to succeeding in the UPSC exam. Excelling in the Ethics paper can significantly boost your chances of making the final list, as a strong grasp of ethics typically indicates good answer-writing skills. If you can complete the Ethics paper on time, it’s likely you’ll manage to finish other General Studies papers as well. Moreover, a solid understanding of ethics is beneficial for the Essay paper.

    To write an effective Ethics answer, it’s important to focus on content enrichment, use a theme-specific framework (such as ready-made points for topics like Corporate Governance, Emotional Intelligence, Aptitude vs. Attitude), and pay attention to presentation aspects, including the use of diagrams, interlinking with specific examples, and structuring of case studies. Covering different dimensions and linking points to theories are also crucial for crafting a strong Ethics paper.

    Nevin sir, who secured (an AIR 225 in his first attempt, scored an impressive 133 marks in the Ethics paper), in this masterclass, he’ll share his strategy and what contributed to his success. We’ll review his answer copies to uncover the secrets behind scoring 130+ in the Ethics paper.

    Read about AIR-2′ Animesh Pradhan’s UPSC Mentorship Journey

    This year when UPSC announced its CSE-2023 results, the whole world woke up to a paradigm shift in UPSC Preparation: Mentorship works. And not just works; When done right it produces single digit IAS rankers.

    Animesh Pradhan, student of our UAP 2023 Mentorship program, secured AIR 2 in his very first attempt, while working at Indian Oil and exclusively preparing with us at Civilsdaily.

    It’s after 20 years anyone from Odisha has secured the second rank in the exam. And Animesh did it in style.

    But behind this multi-decadal success were 18 gruelling months of hard core preparation.

    Animesh was preparing with his mentor, Ranadheer Sir and a team of experts who had led AIR 22, AIR 48 to success in UPSC 2022 with the same UAP Mentorship Program.

    While the whole world wakes up to mentorship for the first time in 2024, we have been perfecting the UAP mentorship program for the last 5+ years.
