    Closing Registrations in 1 Hour || IAS for Working Professionals || How to crack UPSC without leaving your full-time job? || Free Live Webinar at 6 PM

    Our Hall of Fame boasts of nearly 150 aspirants who have cleared the exam as working professionals. This year, our Civilsdaily students — Vaibhav Rawat (AIR 25) and Ravi Kumar (AIR 84) worked really hard in their respective jobs and studies before they tasted success. This busts the myth that only full-time aspirants can clear the exam.

    Lack of Time or Lack of Time-Management?

    UPSC-CSE is not only one of the toughest exams of the world, but one of the longest as well. An exam that is a year long, needs a preparation of 2 years to clear it.

    Some of us have family responsibilities that cannot and should not be neglected. Maybe you are the only earning member of your family. But, is it impossible to juggle UPSC CSE and work? Not at all. It might be challenging, but it’s an achievable ambition. One needs the discipline to study everyday, whether they had a good or a bad day at work.

    All aspirants get only 24 hours in a day, how they spend every hour determines their final result.

    Does this mean there will be no scope for rest as a Working Junta? Don’t be surprised if we tell you toppers like Srishti Jayant Deshmukh (AIR 5, 2018) and Roman Saini (AIR 18, 2013) found time to take breaks in between their college studies (engineering and medical respectively) and UPSC preparation! While Srishti took a 5 minute break after every 30 minutes, Roman took a 10 minute break after every 1 hour.

    Why should you attend this webinar?

    When we asked Vaibhav Rawat and Ravi Kumar their secret of topping the exam despite working 8-9 hours everyday, their answer was time management and syllabus completion.

    Instead of complaining about the limited time they had, they completed modules assigned by us within that time. Sometimes, they got 6 hours in a day and sometimes 5 hours. But after office, they never let the stress of work distract them. Nor did they compare their preparation to other full-time aspirants and get demotivated.

    Every topper has their own time-management technique. As a working junta, its about time you learnt them. This is what Sudhanshu Sir will address in this upcoming webinar. You will not only get to know how to balance work and study in a day, but also when to take breaks in between the two!

    What will you learn in this Webinar?

    1. The 4 different phases of UPSC preparation. What to study in each phase?

    2. Our 5-hour Step-by-Step learning plan. Also time-management techniques of other toppers.

    3. Avoiding mistakes that cost you an attempt. How to kickstart your preparation in the right direction?

    4. Advantages of being a UPSC aspirant as a working professional. What do you have that others don’t?

    5. Studying smartly. How can you use the Civilsdaily App to get consolidated material that can save your time?

    About Sudhanshu Sir

    Sudhanshu Sir has served in the Defense Ministry for 10 years. He has a keen interest in regional and global geopolitics and has ample experience of various other competitive exams as well. Experienced with UPSC CS and Several State PSCs.

  • Don’t stop your Mains preparation even if you get low marks in Prelims|| Register for Free 1-1 Mentorship for UPSC 2022 – Samanvaya

    Do you know only 42% of toppers clear UPSC CSE examinations in their first attempt? The rest clear it because they didn’t give up. In our student Jayant Nahata’s (AIR 56, UPSC 2020) words, “Do you want the pain of hard work or do you want the regret of failure?”

    Sajal Sir has helped over 400 aspirants secure ranks in the last 6 years. This year, he has guided over 30 students to secure ranks in the top 100 in UPSC 2020. He was the topper of GS 2017 Mains.

    Our next mentor, Sudhanshu Sir has cleared mains 3 times, attended interviews twice and has served the Ministry of Defence for 10 years.

    And this is what both of our mentors have to say to you —

    “It doesn’t matter how much you believe you scored based on the answer key, start preparing for mains right now! Study daily, every day and CONSISTENTLY. Do not give up on studying or spend more than 2 days without preparation until your name shows up on the list.”

    We understand that this year’s paper was tricky. We know you have burnt the midnight oil for months. You might be doubting yourself right now. But this is not the time to lose hope. This is not the time to give up. The Prelims results are not out yet. Do not stop preparing for Mains!

    Watch this video by our Civilsdaily student Anil Kumar Rathore who failed 4 times before he cleared UPSC’19 with AIR 81.

    You have already tried one way of preparation and it has not helped you get a really high score. Why waste another attempt trying to do the same things and expecting new results? Speak with us and learn a new way to prepare – the preparation technique that is specially designed to fetch high scores.

    Why Samanvaya 2022?

    With a dedicated 1-1 mentorship program, we use the tried and tested ‘SMART’ method of preparation that has helped more than 400 students become officers!

    1. Syllabus Completion
    2. Managing time consistently
    3. Awareness of your weak areas
    4. Revision of completed modules
    5. Test series every week

    At Civilsdaily, your assigned mentors interact with you on a daily basis. They are not just teachers, but coaches, philosophers, and guides. And this is how they will help you succeed:

    • Motivating you for one whole year and pushing you to complete the modules on time.
    • Helping you restart preparation despite low scores in test series.
    • Helping you study for 6 hours everyday if you are working.
    • Guiding you on how to revise the whole syllabus 3 months before prelims and mains.
    • Providing you topic-wise notes.
    • Teaching you elimination techniques, tikdams and helpful strategies like 4-2-4 model of preparation.
    • Keeping you updated on what to study and from where to study.

    Is it too early to start preparing for Mains 2022?

    Aspirants who become toppers devote the first 6-7 months of preparation for mains and the next 5-6 months for prelims revision and test series. This gives them an edge; they know how to write and present facts plus they can remember the same facts for prelims. So there is no better time than NOW to start mains.

    AIR 148 UPSC 2020 topper and our Civilsdaily student Ponmani explains why answer writing with mentorship for Mains is necessary.

    How have UPSC Toppers benefited from our Mentorship so far?

    A major dilemma faced by all UPSC aspirants is choosing the right Optional subject. There are 2 papers in Optional, each being 250 marks. Hence, you will be 500 marks closer to clearing Mains with an optional subject aligning to your academic background.

    If you’ve already decided on Anthropology as your Optional Subject, then congrats! First, for making up your mind and next, for choosing that life-saving optional which has helped many aspirants become toppers in UPSC.

    Is Anthropology Optional a Scoring Subject?

    After changing their optional to anthropology, Anudeep Durishetty bagged AIR 1 in his 4th attempt, Akshit Jain got AIR 2 in his 2nd attempt Apala Mishra bagged AIR 9 in her 2nd attempt, Geethanjali Sharma secured AIR 32 in her 3rd attempt and Rinku Lather secured AIR 232 in his 2nd attempt (with this optional). Anthropology is among the top 3 preferences of UPSC toppers. However, after 2019 the subject has got tougher and is no longer that easy for aspirants to score above 300 marks.

    Understanding the scoring nature of Anthropology Optional, we’ve launched a marks booster cum mentorship program by Rinku Lather IRS. Rinku has been able to score top marks in both of his attempts.

    How is the structure of Rinku Lather IRS’s Anthropology Optional Course?

    There are two variants of the course:

    1. For Mains written aspirants (click)
    2. For other aspirants

    Rinku Lather IRS sir will conduct syllabus completion classes on Google meet, which will help students write their own notes. Topic-wise discussions will be held.

    He will conduct both doubt clearing and answer writing discussion sessions on a daily basis. The aim is to provide quality enrichment sessions with value-added inputs on important topics.

    Apart from this, the program will have 1-on-1 mentorship calls* by Rinku Lather IRS sir with the intent to boost your scores in Anthropology Optional. (*For mains written aspirants)

    What will you learn in the Free Anthropology Orientation Session?

    It’s always better to learn the tricks of the trade with the best in the business. With 288 marks, Rinku Lather sir was among the Anthropology toppers of UPSC CSE 2019. In the first session, he will give an orientation on —

    1. Main dimensions of Anthropology Optional. How will Paper 1 and 2 be?

    2. His Go-To Preparation Strategy. What are the books he read and how many times he revised before exam?

    3. What are the scoring topics in Anthropology. Why is it better to focus more on the ROI topics?

    4. Difficulties faced by aspirants while preparing for Anthropology Optional and how to avoid them? Learning from experience of others’ mistakes is always the best way to go.

    Session Details

    The first session of the Anthropology Course by Rinku Lather sir is free for all to attend.

    Anyone writing UPSC Mains in 2021 and 2022 will benefit from the session. There will be a Q&A session too where all anthropology enthusiasts can engage with the topper, Rinku Lather IRS.

    Check out Vaibhav’s excerpt on how he cleared UPSC 2020:- https://youtu.be/hAeYOs0O

    Vaibhav cracked Mains in the first attempt but only barely! With very few marks in GS, he joined Civilsdaily’s Mentorship Program for 2020 for his second attempt and the results were clear – he secured 25th rank in UPSC 2020. Vaibhav is an IT BHU graduate, school cricket captain, 7th ranker in All India Science Olympiad, a former employee at Samsung R&D and current Rank Holder for UPSC 2020.

    We, at Civilsdaily IAS family, are equally thrilled and overjoyed. We wish Vaibhav Rawat, all the very best. This turn around which he has experienced in his life, may he reflect upon the society.

  • Don’t stop your Mains preparation even if you get low marks in Prelims|| Register for Free 1-1 Mentorship for UPSC 2022 – Samanvaya

    Do you know only 42% of toppers clear UPSC CSE examinations in their first attempt? The rest clear it because they didn’t give up. In our student Jayant Nahata’s (AIR 56, UPSC 2020) words, “Do you want the pain of hard work or do you want the regret of failure?”

    Sajal Sir has helped over 400 aspirants secure ranks in the last 6 years. This year, he has guided over 30 students to secure ranks in the top 100 in UPSC 2020. He was the topper of GS 2017 Mains.

    Our next mentor, Sudhanshu Sir has cleared mains 3 times, attended interviews twice and has served the Ministry of Defence for 10 years.

    And this is what both of our mentors have to say to you —

    “It doesn’t matter how much you believe you scored based on the answer key, start preparing for mains right now! Study daily, every day and CONSISTENTLY. Do not give up on studying or spend more than 2 days without preparation until your name shows up on the list.”

    We understand that this year’s paper was tricky. We know you have burnt the midnight oil for months. You might be doubting yourself right now. But this is not the time to lose hope. This is not the time to give up. The Prelims results are not out yet. Do not stop preparing for Mains!

    Watch this video by our Civilsdaily student Anil Kumar Rathore who failed 4 times before he cleared UPSC’19 with AIR 81.

    You have already tried one way of preparation and it has not helped you get a really high score. Why waste another attempt trying to do the same things and expecting new results? Speak with us and learn a new way to prepare – the preparation technique that is specially designed to fetch high scores.

    Why Samanvaya 2022?

    With a dedicated 1-1 mentorship program, we use the tried and tested ‘SMART’ method of preparation that has helped more than 400 students become officers!

    1. Syllabus Completion
    2. Managing time consistently
    3. Awareness of your weak areas
    4. Revision of completed modules
    5. Test series every week

    At Civilsdaily, your assigned mentors interact with you on a daily basis. They are not just teachers, but coaches, philosophers, and guides. And this is how they will help you succeed:

    • Motivating you for one whole year and pushing you to complete the modules on time.
    • Helping you restart preparation despite low scores in test series.
    • Helping you study for 6 hours everyday if you are working.
    • Guiding you on how to revise the whole syllabus 3 months before prelims and mains.
    • Providing you topic-wise notes.
    • Teaching you elimination techniques, tikdams and helpful strategies like 4-2-4 model of preparation.
    • Keeping you updated on what to study and from where to study.

    Is it too early to start preparing for Mains 2022?

    Aspirants who become toppers devote the first 6-7 months of preparation for mains and the next 5-6 months for prelims revision and test series. This gives them an edge; they know how to write and present facts plus they can remember the same facts for prelims. So there is no better time than NOW to start mains.

    AIR 148 UPSC 2020 topper and our Civilsdaily student Ponmani explains why answer writing with mentorship for Mains is necessary.

    How have UPSC Toppers benefited from our Mentorship so far?

    What is that one subject with which you can ace all the 3 stages of UPSC-CSE – Prelims, Mains and Interview? Yes, it’s Current Affairs.

    Every year, 30% of the questions in the Prelims exam appear from Current Affairs. With current affairs knowledge, you will know how to answer 60-70% questions in UPSC Mains. And, 80% of the interview questions ask your opinion on the news events of last one year.

    So, with every stage the importance of current affairs sees a proportional increase.

    Why you should attend Parth Sir’s Webinar?

    Even after reading The Hindu and Indian Express are you unable to get desired scores in the daily quiz? Are you aware of the important news but struggle to connect it to the topics in your static portions? Are you not getting time to explore other sources like PIB, Yojana or Kurukshetra?

    Don’t get bogged down by the demands of Current Affairs. Attend the webinar conducted by Parth Sir this Sunday to allay all your fears and doubts and stay focused in clearing UPSC CSE!

    What will you learn from this webinar?

    1. How to finish reading all the sources of current affairs in one hour?

    3. Direct and indirect relation of current affairs in recent years with evidence. This will be a reality check for many aspirants!

    4. What are the important sources for current affairs?

    5. How to make micro notes with topic-wise current affairs?

    6. How to answer current affairs questions in a smart and efficient manner?

    At the end of the session, Parth Sir will also conduct a Q&A session.
