Hi everyone, 

This is Zeeshan Sir. UPSC Prelims 2022 and 2023 were the most unpredictable papers in the past 20 years! Indirect questions and application-based questions are on the rise. UPSC is testing your ability to perform under stress. 

A basic crash course with few lectures + tests will not help you stretch your imagination. It is a recipe for disaster. 

Dominate Prelims 3 Pillars – Academic, Creative, Predictive 

50 Questions = Academic

30 Questions = Creative

20 Questions = Predictive

Most of you are constantly focusing on building knowledge the academic pillar. It is a necessary condition but not a sufficient one. 

From my experience, I know for sure that most of you don’t lack knowledge. You just don’t know how to finetune your creative and predictive pillars. 

Dominate Prelims 2024: Crash Course for UPSC Prelims 2024

Hey there UPSC 2024 aspirants! Are you still lost in the coaching vs self-study debate? Let me tell you, my friend, there’s only one answer to cracking the UPSC Civil Services exam in 2023-24 – consistent 5 hours of self-study every day.

Yes, you heard it right!

Whether you are taking coaching or not, whether you are in Delhi, the Mecca of UPSC Preparation, or in a remote village of Assam, only a disciplined self-study approach can guarantee you success.

A lack of a self-study regime will make you feel unfulfilled, frustrated, and lost.

The 6 Pillars of Effective Self-Study

Failing to incorporate any one of these pillars, feeds into a vicious cycle. Without guidance or mentoring, understanding where the problem lies in and how to rectify it becomes problematic.

First up, strategy! You need a game plan to tackle the mammoth UPSC syllabus. We aren’t talking about a toppers’ strategy that you might have encountered on youtube. A strategy personalized for you, based on your learning style, the time you have, your prep situation.

Second, create a flexible timetable to ensure you cover all the subjects on time. It’s all about managing your time for UPSC Preparation if you’re a working Professional or a full-time aspirant & how to utilize the time, left in your hand, in the best possible way.

Third, set measurable time-bound targets for daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly preparation. Set realistic targets for yourself and make sure you achieve them. Break down your preparation into smaller milestones to stay motivated.

Fourth, gather the most specific UPSC-relevant study material and resources to avoid information overload.

Fifth, regularly evaluate your progress to identify the critical gaps in your preparation. You should be able to measure your progress, both qualitatively and quantitatively.

And lastly, create a feedback mechanism to incorporate improvements into your preparation. This is essential so that you are utilizing the compounding effect in your prep.

Yes, we know that even to a UPSC veteran it might seem easier said than done.

Aspirants, UPSC is changing. So why should your preparation not change or evolve?

No more it’s about covering the syllabus, doing current affairs, and attempting tests. Instead, the sole focus is on bringing efficiency, and productivity to your preparation.

Toppers have been going against conventional UPSC prep wisdom and have been rendering it obsolete. One such maxim has been – READING NEWSPAPERS DAILY.

UPSC 2023-24 calls for a NEWSPAPERLESS Current Affairs Preparation

Aspirants follow this blindly and as a result spend hours reading The Hindu, Indian Express, etc. on a daily basis, feeling miserably lost, frustrated, unfulfilled, and guilty of wasting time.

It also compromises with their GS static and optional preparation.

Moreover, many aspirants don’t even know how to actually cover current affairs. They just live for the high they get after finishing the newspaper, which is a short-lived joy.

Diksha ma’am, senior IAS Faculty will take up a LIVE session to help you tackle this changing paradigm of UPSC Current Affairs Prep

Say goodbye to feeling overwhelmed and frustrated with Newspaper Reading for current affairs and join us for this exciting session. Diksha Sharma’s expert guidance will help you save time, reduce stress, and prepare more efficiently for the exam.

As we enter the last three months before UPSC Prelims 2023 it is time to understand and fill critical gaps in your preparation.

Based on our discussion with around 2500 aspirants, over the past few years at this point in time (3 months before Prelims) we know that you

• might have already completed the GS syllabus or are about to but finding a gap in core concepts or how to use the knowledge for solving MCQs,
• your scores in mocks fluctuate and get stuck at 80-90 marks barrier, and
• most like you don’t know what your weaknesses are, least of all how to make an improvement.

We’re excited to launch the 6th edition of Nikaalo Prelims for UPSC Prelims 2023

Nikaalo Prelims is the ONLY PROGRAM that will handhold you to understand your gaps, streamline your preparation during the peak months, and ensure that you have the best shot at clearing prelims.

It is a 90 days FREE initiative for UPSC Prelims 2023 in which we will have daily LIVE sessions on YouTube and Telegram by CivilsDaily’s senior IAS faculty. Our mentors work day and night to ensure that our aspirants get the best out of it.

---

How is Nikaalo Prelims any different from the other “x-day revision programs”?

You might have chanced upon x-day revision programs by other institutes and UPSC coachings, and all of them are focussing on the content aspect using old ways of revision and preparation in the last 90 days.

Nikaalo Prelims is going to help you identify, understand and work on the ‘Critical Gaps’ in your preparation. Our team of highly experienced IAS faculty and UPSC rankers have worked really hard on designing this program.

Through our LIVE sessions, Prelims Spotlight PDFs, and MCQs tests we will test you, guide you and help fill these critical gaps:

• Awareness Gap
• Knowledge Gap
• Revision Gap
• X-Factor Gap
• DO NOT TOUCH questions and topics for UPSC Prelims

Without progressively working on these gaps, you CANNOT clear UPSC Prelims.

Our team has prepared a 90 days timetable and based on that we will conduct sessions and tests in the program.

1. Daily LIVE sessions on Youtube and Telegram – Consistency in Preparation

In Daily YouTube Live sessions Parth sir will take up and discuss GS static concepts and MCQs. These sessions will be strictly timetable based. He will discuss GS core concepts live with you.

In the evening, Sukanya ma’am will take Live Telegram sessions on core GS concepts related to current affairs and MCQs.

2. Prelims Spotlight PDFs

This initiative is meant to help you revise details and facts that can be asked in prelims. They are simplified, synthesized, and prepared using the most authentic sources.

Topics in Spotlight are chosen only after analyzing the previous year’s trends and PYQs of the UPSC Prelims. These can easily slip your mind or easily confuse you. Continuous Revision for the same is required. Dare you to miss the updates!

These PDFs will be shared with you on a daily basis. Do register.

3. Static Subject Revision and Tests

In a timebound and strategic manner, we will cover all the important static topics and related current affairs. Through daily MCQ tests we will keep you sharp. The discussion of these with Sukanya ma’am and Nikaalo Prelims community will 10x your prep.

4. Predicting MCQs for UPSC Prelims 2023: Most probable questions

Using methodical PYQ analysis, discussions, and insights of our highly experienced faculty we will be sharing a list of most probable questions for the Prelims 2023.

5. Nikaalo Prelims Community

Preparing for the UPSC exam can be a tough race against time. And if you are a working professional who is managing your job along with the preparation, coping with the syllabus can be extremely difficult.

Your day starts with the pressure of your work. You may have to manage project deadlines, you have to attend office meetings, you may have to deal with clients at work, and spend a lot of time at your workplace.  In fact, by the time you reach home from work, you already feel exhausted and have no energy to study anymore.

But does that mean you give up on your dreams?

NO!

Time management is a #UPSCskill that tops all other skills in this long journey. Moreover, the complexity and vastness of the syllabus, unpredictability and ever-changing pattern of the UPSC exam, and cut-throat competition necessitate you to invest your time wisely.

But how to do that? If you are not a fan of wasting your time and reinventing wheel join our FREE UPSC Webinar especially for Working UPSC Professionals.

6. How to determine the primary focus areas of the Prelims, Mains, and Personality tests?
7. How to apply bookish as well as classroom knowledge to the exam?’

What The Hindu mentioned about Civilsdaily Mentorship

12th March 2023 (Sunday), 7:30 P.M | 15 Months to UPSC 2024 divided into 5 phases for a holistic UPSC preparation.

Most of the UPSC-CSE toppers like Satyam Gandhi (AIR 10), Ria Dabi (AIR 15), Yash Jaluka (AIR 4), Mamta Yadav (AIR 5) and Shashwat Tripurari (AIR 19) cleared the exam as fresh graduates in their very first attempt. How were they able to do it?

If you watch their strategy videos, you can find a common pattern — they started 12-24 months in advance before the exam.

One of the benefits of starting your preparation early is the time you would get to revise, practice test series, make improvements, enhance the quality of your knowledge and answers, and get four steps ahead of the competition.

However, what’s the best way to prepare, if you aren’t a fan of making mistakes and figuring it out along the way? We understand how annoying it might be for you if you were to study in a certain way for months together and then realize that it doesn’t align with the UPSC-CSE way of doing things.

An ideal prep is divided into five phases and spread across 14-15 months? Prabhat sir, an IRPS officer who secured AIR 377 in UPSC 2019, is conducting a special workshop on time management & strategy for UPSC 2024.

Block this time:

12th March 2023 (Sunday), 7:30 P.M

What you should expect in 1-1 LIVE with Prabhat sir?

The workshop will cover a five-phased time management strategy that will help you plan and utilize your time effectively in the next 15 months leading up to UPSC 2024. Prabhat will share his own experience of preparing for the exam while managing his job and personal life. He will also provide practical tips on how to prioritize your studies, make the most of your free time, and avoid burnout.

1. The first phase – Studying the Core Subjects. How to read every topic in the syllabus from 2-3 sources in the first reading and prepare a 1-2 page notes? And in your second reading, stick to only one source while using your notes as reference.

2. The second phase – Studying Mains Specific Subjects & Optional. How to follow the ritual of reading, writing summaries and answering topic-wise previous year questions?

3. Discussing 2-3 Revision Strategies which you can follow. Why should you not go more than 20 days without revision?

4. Live demonstration of making the perfect notes. How to not copy line-by-line of everything you read & only note down the 5 dimensions of a topic?

5. Why is the third phase of preparation the shortest of all? What should you ideally do after completing the Prelims and Mains subjects?

6. About the fourth phase. How to improve your accuracy 3 months before the Prelims exams?

5. The last phase. What must be done 3 months before the Mains exams?

6. Including statistics and relevant data. What are the subject-wise important committee reports you should read?

7. Three readings per subject. How do you study during each revision phase?

Hi aspirants, UPSC 2024 is 1.5 years away, but it is already too late if you haven’t started preparation already. Many of you might have already started but before you jump in headfirst, we want to remind you of the importance of having a solid foundation, the right strategy, a flexible timetable, apt resources, and a mentor who’ll be your friend, philosopher, guide all through your journey.

No need to worry if you’re a UPSC aspirant and you don’t have any IAS Uncle or a bhaiya to help you along the way.

Moreover, due to the sheer competition in this exam, the vast and complex syllabus, and the unpredictable nature of UPSC clearing this exam becomes a task not all can achieve.

Aspirants due to lack of guidance get stuck in a vicious cycle of back-to-back failures. We at CivilsDaily understand the importance of mentorship and we had upgraded our mentorship program to include three layers in UPSC Foundation Super Mentorship Program

This had been incorporated in the UPSC 2024 Foundation batch and we have continued it in March 2024 batch as well.

👉Layer 1: You will be assigned a dedicated in-house mentor who will keep track of our progress from start till your final interview.

👉Layer 2: Sajal Singh sir and the team will be constantly with you through various programs like Samachar Manthan, Prelims, Essay, etc.

👉Layer 3: A UPSC IAS ranker (one who has cleared this exam) will be supervising your progress as your super mentor.

New Batch starting from 5th March 2023:

This is a limited-seat, invite-only program. Please fill up the form to register.

Why Your Focus for the Next 3 Months Must be About Scoring Above Cut-Off Marks in UPSC-CSE Prelims? Isn’t the last 1 Month Enough for This?

Every year, the competition for UPSC-CSE is increasing while vacancies are decreasing drastically. Total vacancies this year have been increased but you have to consider IRMS as well. This is why right now, it’s important to start having an Olympic Athlete mindset. You need to daily focus on scoring above the cut-off marks in your test series.

Civilsdaily Student and 2019 UPSC-CSE AIR 8 Topper Abhishek Saraf had practiced nearly 6000+ MCQs under us to clear prelims!

What makes prelims tough? It’s because the paper is unpredictable. If this year, science questions are a breeze then the next year you will have to answer advanced concept-based questions. Unlike Mains, Prelims has negative markings.

Toppers like Pranav Vijayvergiya (AIR 65) and Swati Sharma (AIR 17) have found Prelims to be tougher than Mains. In fact, Pranav failed to clear Prelims thrice. But, in his fourth attempt he took Civilsdaily mentorship and cleared Prelims, Mains and Interview in one shot!

Are you feeling low that you are unable to get the required cut-off marks in your test series. Worry not, for about 65% of the UPSC toppers have said that they scored below cut-off marks till December. But by June, they were able to boost their marks to get through the prelims hurdle. It’s time to be like them now. The two mentors allotted to you at Civilsdaily will discuss notes, sources, and test scores and even counsel you on your mental health.

How will Super-25 Program be structured?

We have neither diluted the criteria for selecting aspirants nor the core strategy. In fact, this year Super-25 will be a much more effective version of last year. 

Four Pillars of Super- 25 Program

1. It is a mentorship-led test series and value addition program over 90 days. 

2. Intensive Mentorship: You will have one dedicated mentor during the entire journey, in the form of Santosh Gupta sir. Santosh sir will give mentoring on a 1-1 basis. He will also be taking weekly zoom sessions. It would ensure that you do not fall back at any cost and benefit from the experience of two mentors who have cleared the exam 6 times. We will ensure that you achieve not your weekly targets but the target of clearing prelims. 

3. A number of tests: 60 practice tests (50 questions) + 40 Full-length tests ( 12 Basic + 6 advanced + 10 Current affairs tests + 8 FLTs+ 4 CSATs). It means every day you can give a test. With this, we will ensure that you revise your syllabus 3 times in three months at least. 

4. Current affairs: Entire Current affairs of 1.5 years ( Jan 2022 – April 2023) will be covered by Core faculty, comprising of Santosh sir, Sajal sir, Sukanya ma’am, and Dimple Ma’am. You will learn how to link current affairs with static topics on the go.

5. Strategic Value Addition Sessions: They say that a woodcutter sharpens his axe for 8 hours to cut 1 tree. This is the most popular session around taken by Santosh Gupta sir to enrich your knowledge base and analytical ability. 

Approach of Super-25

1. Keyword approach to revise syllabus of 1 subject in 2-3 hours.

2. Focus on FCE approach ( Factual, Conceptual and Elimination ) to enhance your score.

3. Critical gap filling sessions and notes, learning to link static with current affairs and vice versa.

4. Evidence based questions to ensure 360 degree testing.

5. Weekly monitoring of targets by dedicated mentor and your strategic mentor Santosh Gupta.  

How Super-25 will help you

1. Setting a clear strategy for the next 90 days to get 120+ score in Prelims.

2. Revising the whole syllabus in an effective manner.

2. Filling critical gaps in preparation.

4. Practice tests to enhance your chances of qualifying prelims.

5. Covering the entire current affairs from a prelims perspective.

Who can be part of the Super-25?

1. Only those who are struck in the range of 80-90 marks in last 2-3 attempts and are desperate to write mains.

2. Those who have given prelims at least once.

3. Those willing to give 100% or nothing less. 

There are no secrets to success, it is a result of preparation, hard work and learning from failure. Are you willing to learn from failures? Let’s start together.

Self Preparation with Mentorship: What do Civilsdaily Students think of Santosh Sir’s Mentorship for UPSC-CSE Prelims?

We asked Santosh sir’s students about their opinion on mentorship — if it was something that saved their time or wasted their time in studies and this is what they had to say:

Kamini: “If I can say in one word, then Santosh sir’s mentorship is unique. Before I joined his program, I used to score 90 marks in Full Length Test Series. Santhosh sir had done an depth analysis of my test papers and suggested ways to reduce the negatives. Right now I am able to score 100+ in advanced test series of not only Civilsdaily but other institutes. He is always available to clear my doubts and solve my issues on call or phone. No issue is too big enough for Santosh sir. He has always told me after you finish a test series, read the same topics again and take another test series the same day to see if your marks improve. From Santosh sir’s polity and economic survey notes, we got questions in the 2021 and 2022 Prelims. I always feel it’s better to do self-studies with mentorship than join coaching institutes and get spoon-fed with information.”

Sweetie Raj: “I am a banking professional, living with a joint family. Attending coaching classes is out of the question because I won’t have time to read the books myself. Santosh sir helps me self-study by providing me mentorship daily. I study daily from 9 PM to 3 AM. Santosh sir has been available for 1-hour strategy calls even during this time. No other teacher would have wanted me to succeed as much as he wants me to. I can understand concepts by myself and don’t need help in that. I want someone who pushes me to complete the target modules, checks if I did my mains answer writing for the day and analyses the previous year question papers with me. Because of Santosh sir, I understood that its just not enough reading one book but at the same time I dont have to waste time reading many books. He tells me the topic-wise sources to refer. Also he has designed a study plan for me that I can follow every week. Once, I told Santhosh sir I was missing test series discussion classes as it was conducted at 7PM. Immediately, he provided me recorded videos and kept the session at 8.30PM.”

👉What you should expect in 1-1 Live with Shubham Nagargoje sir?

Should you start with NCERTs? or directly Standard books? maybe start with just the newspapers first…. like these, there are a lot of questions in the minds of aspirants who are starting their UPSC 2024 preparation.

UPSC IAS-IPS-IFS is a dream of many but only a handful of them can make it a reality.

Every year millions of aspirants start from zero. But only a few can sit on a DM’s chair & the rest are stuck in the labyrinth of the gigantic syllabus or a cycle of repeated failure.

So, a seamless beginning matters.

Guys, there is a saying, “Well begun is half done.” so, don’t start UPSC 2024 Preparation just for being part of the rat race or to ‘gain experience’.  Instead, your start of IAS 2024 prep must be in such a way that it guarantees your destination, LBSNAA.

UPSC Prelims 2024 will be scheduled between May and June. That’s just 17 months away. As an aspirant, even if you are a beginner you might have already started preparation, but you must understand the criticality of the next 17 months. Everything that you do must be under a plan, a strategy.

To help you strategize we have planned a Masterclass by UPSC Topper, IPS, Shubham sir.

UPSC has a very rational approach w.r.t. the IAS-IPS exam. In every stage of the exam- Prelims, Mains, and Interview it has certain expectations from the candidate, you in this case. Whether you are worthy or not is then judged by the exam set by UPSC.

The issue that most of the aspirants face is the lack of clarity about what the UPSC really expects from them. They tend to go haywire in their preparation, not knowing how to prioritize and what to study, which often leads to confusion, frustration and in some cases, repeated failures.

The solution to this problem lies in understanding the expectations of the UPSC at each stage of the exam. Knowing what the UPSC wants from the aspirants will help in shaping up their preparation, making it more effective and result-oriented.

By having a clear understanding of the UPSC’s expectations, aspirants can align their preparation accordingly, prioritize their study material, and set realistic targets. This will not only help in saving time and effort but also increase the chances of success. In addition, it will bring consistency to their preparation and make it more productive.

Being one of the most prestigious and sought-after careers in India, Civil Services is a dream for many. We’ve seen UPSC toppers who chose these over their high-paying corporate jobs.

However, for many working professionals, aspiring to be an IAS-IPS, balancing a demanding job with their aspirations to crack this exam can be a tough task. And they can’t quit becoming a full-time aspirant.

Isn’t this the usual story?

• 9 hours office, 1 hour in travel, 1 hour for washing and eating, 8 hours for sleep. 19 hours just GONE!

• Time left → 24 hours – 19 hours = 5 hours. Where to start, what to read & revise in these 300 minutes. 

• How to complete the syllabus, and attempt mock tests in such a short time?

Preparing with a full-time job was the best decision…and CivilsDaily made it easy for me.

Responsibilities and financial independence must not stop you from following your passion and making your dream come true.

With long work hours and limited time to study, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and like you’re not making progress. Unmanageable preparation takes a toll on your mental-physical health and UPSC attempt/efforts.

If you can’t increase the study time then better spend those 5 hours under a solid strategy where you are able to maintain a razor-sharp focus, gradual improvements, and are able to measure progress.
