    90% of websites suggest reading Ramesh Singh for India Economy. But after reading 2-3 pages of R. Singh you realize that you are not able to remember anything after just a couple of hours!


    Attend the free live webinar conducted by Civilsdaily’s toppers’ mentor Parth Verma sir to understand how to start a concrete preparation from scratch, eliminate confusions and remain consistent and disciplined for one whole year.

    5. Complete UPSC-CSE Preparation Timeline for a Working Professional

    6. The skill of taking notes. What topics necessitate notes and which do not?

    7. Working hard in the right direction vs. working hard in the wrong direction: Is it possible to be successful solely by studying hard?

    See How Tikdam Works even with the toughest questions:

    Q. Consider the following statements: 

    1. 21st February is declared to be the International Mother Language Day by UNICEF.

    2. The demand that Bangla has to be one of the national languages was raised in the Constituent Assembly of Pakistan. 

    Which of the above statements is/are correct? 

    (a) 1 only 

    (b) 2 only 

    (c) Both 1 and 2 

    (d) Neither 1 nor 2

    Statement-1:  It is a part of culture therefore it should be UNESCO not UNICEF. Also by TIKDAM Rule-1, Above statement should be incorrect.

    Statement 2: Present Bangladesh was a part of the then Pakistan. The statement does not say for the first time or only in the Assembly but a general statement that the demand was raised which sounds logical because East Bengal was a part of it as well. Therefore this statement should be correct.

    Q Consider the following statements: 

    1. Moringa (drumstick tree) is a leguminous evergreen tree. 

    2. The Tamarind tree is endemic to South Asia.

    3. In India, most of the tamarind is collected as minor forest produce. 

    4. India exports tamarind and seeds of moringa. 

    5. Seeds of moringa and tamarind can be used in the production of biofuels. 

    Which of the statements given above are correct? 

    (a) 1, 2, 4 and 5 

    (b) 3, 4 and 5 

    (c) 1, 3 and 4 

    (d) 1, 2, 3 and 5

    Almost every Indian has seen the Moringa Trees(Mungna, Saijan in hindi). They drop their leaves as we have seen. This means they are not evergreen. By eliminating we can get B as an answer.

    Q What is blue carbon? 

    (a) Carbon captured by oceans and coastal ecosystems 

    (b) Carbon sequestered in forest biomass and agricultural soils 

    (c) Carbon contained in petroleum and natural gas 

    (d) Carbon present in atmosphere

    We all know blue is used for Water/Oceans. Now option A has Ocean. 

    Q. With reference to the book “Desher Kather” written by Sakharam Ganesh Deuskar during the freedom struggle, consider the following statements : 

    1. It warned against the Colonial States hypnotic conquest of the mind. 

    2. It inspired the performance of swadeshi street plays and folk songs. 

    3. The use of desh‘ by Deuskar was in the specific context of the region of Bengal

    Which of the statements given above are curt? 

    (a) 1 and 2 only 

    (b) 2 and 3 only 

    (c) 1 and 3 only 

    (d) 1, 2 and 3 

    Anything in the context of Bengal used to start as ‘Bang.’ For example Bang Bhasha Prakashak Sabha, Bang Bhang, Bangladesh etc. Therefore Desh should not be in the context of Bengal. Now by simply eliminating S3 we can get the answer.

Now is the time to focus on improving your performance and boosting your scores.

  • What are the 5 Methods to Maintain Daily Consistency in Current Affairs, Optional & GS Preparation?|| What are the 4 Factors you Need to Work on if you can’t Study Regularly?|| Register for Free 1-on-1 Mentorship if You are Yet to Restart Your UPSC Preparation

    Since its inception, UPSC-CSE has had toppers from various academic and socio-economic backgrounds who have cracked the exam with flying colours. It’s clear that one doesn’t have to go to Delhi or a coaching centre to crack UPSC-CSE.

    If education, geographical and economic background doesn’t matter, then what does? Attitude, or precisely consistency. If you are persistent and adamant to clear UPSC- CSE and have given more than two attempts till now, then you must replace that with consistency. Because, being persistent might lead you to the door, but it’s consistency that unlocks it.

    In last month’s Samanvaya 1-on-1 counselling sessions, our expert Civilsdaily mentors reached out to aspirants to address their concerns regarding UPSC-CSE preparation. These are the responses they often heard from them —

    How do I start preparing after a gap of 3-4 months?

    It’s easy for me to maintain consistency in GS Preparation but not Revision

    I study daily, but can only remain focused for 2-3 hours. How do I improve?

    My long working hours don’t allow me to study daily.

    Why am I losing interest in completing a subject? It’ s easier to read a new subject everyday.

    This week, we have decided to answer all these questions and take additional questions in our personalised & motivational counselling session.

    Key-Takeaways from This Week’s Samanvaya, Free 1-on-1 Counselling Session?

    If you want to experience the same mentorship as Rishab Sharma, then here’s the good news – your first UPSC mentorship is on us and is absolutely free! All you have to do is confirm your slot now.

    This prompted us to reach out to one of our students who is currently an IPS officer, Rishabh Sharma. He cleared the exam in 2020 with AIR 454. After his first attempt, Rishabh had enrolled in Smash Mains program under Sajal sir and also attended our free interview program. Cracking the mighty UPSC-CSE the second time, Rishabh explains what consistency means to him —

    UPSC doesn’t just test your intellect. It tests your patience, mental strength, your emotions, the very character of yours . As far as the journey of CSE is concerned you might know when to start, but you never know when the journey will come to an end. So be consistent and enjoy the journey.

    Every topper follows a plan, a method or strategy that makes it easier for them to study on a daily basis and complete the traget modules of the day. In this free live counselling session, we will explain the many ways you can do to avoid faltering on your preparation.

    1. The difference between a consistent study pattern v/s an inconsistent one. How UPSC-CSE becomes easier over time with consistency?

    2. Social media distraction. How to avoid spending long hours on social media? 

    3. Number of ideal breaks everyday. Why is it necessary to reward yourself with a short break from time to time?

    4. Best way to plan your timetable in advance? Why daily timetable should not be rigid but yearly timetable should be well defined? 

    5. How to remain consistent when you are not opting for coaching? 

    6. What are the practical methods to maintain regularity in studies. Tips to sustain the fire and passion for studies.

    7. Why using Public Libraries is a way to remain consistent in UPSC-CSE preparation? 

    8. What are the 4 factors that determine if you can remain consistent for a year? If not, then why should you work on them first before starting UPSC-CSE preparation?

    Get Motivated to Maintain Overall Consistency for UPSC

    It’s understandable we are humans and not programmable robots who can maintain the same level of interest everyday. However, maintaining an overall consistency throughout our preparation is neccessary to clear this competitive and vast exam. 

    Our philosophy behind MENTORSHIP is to get you out of this Snooze cycle. This ensures that you are the BEST VERSION of yourself in this journey. If you are under the impression that mentorship is weekly calls you attend, then you are mistaken, my friend. Trust us, your mentor will be your ‘FRIEND, PHILOSOPHER AND GUIDE’.

    TO EACH THEIR OWN – Every aspirant is different. Their strengths and weaknesses are different. Their time availability is also different. Identifying this is important so you don’t end up making unrealistic targets and lose momentum. Your mentor will make sure you start slow but remain consistent to build your confidence. Making your schedule structured based on our experience of working with 2500+ students is our first priority.

    TRACK YOUR PROGRESS – When you see yourself grow, it becomes easier to motivate yourself to push boundaries. Tracking your progress can happen in many ways like mentorship calls or chat sessions or by regular tests. The idea is to ensure that you don’t go off track in your preparation, and even if you do, we have your back.

    EVOLUTION – A constant guidance is important to bring consistency to your UPSC preparation. Guidance is not about clearing your doubts or asking you to study when you don’t. It is also about the evolution of your preparation. This is where you and your mentor work as a team. A constant effort to PLAN AND BUILD UP YOUR ABILITY to learn in a faster and more efficient way.

    TALK IT OUT – The biggest hurdle in achieving your highest level of consistency is the emotional part. Every now and then, you. surround yourself with negative thoughts, you feel scared and depressed. Instead of resolving these emotional issues, you avoid them as it seems like a waste of your precious time. You have to understand that ignoring emotional troubles does not solve them. What your doing is building an emotional time bomb that may burst a week before your mains or prelims! This is where your MENTOR AS A FRIEND comes in. All our mentors have been through this journey. We understand your fears and anxieties. So, TALK IT OUT.

    How are Current Civilsdaily Students Gearing up for UPSC-CSE 2022?

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is 5_6161088602806683010.jpg

    Initially, our Civilsdaily student Smriti wasn’t confident about Prelims when she began her preparation. Though she had joined Civilsdaily in 2020, she started studying for UPSC-CSE back in 2019. At that time, Smriti had enrolled in multiple institutes. Though, most of these institutes had promised a personal mentor, she was unable to get in touch with them on a daily basis. Also those mentors never scheduled test-series on a weekly basis. Hence, despite preparing for a year, Smriti had scored only 35 marks out of 200 in her first test series by Civilsdaily.

    She then started writing 20-25 test series over the course of UAP 2021 and in her last test, her scores have drastically improved. She now scores in the range of 130-135 marks in prelims’ and 110+ in mains’ papers.

    In Smriti’s own words she describes her Samanvaya Mentorship Experience to be —

    Our parents provide us financial and emotional support, friends provide us moral support and the right mentor gives you logistic and logical support for UPSC. There are days when I felt I won’t be able to compete against lakhs of aspirants. That’s when my mentor, Ravi sir reminded me of my improvement and encouraged me that I can crack it with the same consistency. We need someone, who tells us we are performing well especially when we cannot see that ourselves. The mentorship at Civilsdaily helped me become mentally stronger as a person. In other institutes, mentors are allotted only for doubt resolution. But at Civilsdaily, I am getting end-to-end mentorship via value added notes, classes, test series and detailed evaluation.”

    Similarly our another Civilsdaily student, Ashish sums up his Samanvaya experience with Civilsdaily mentor, Pravin Sir, “Because of Pravin sir’s support, I am able to understand a topic in lesser time.”

    This is how Pravin sir evaluates Ashish’s Mains Test Series every week. After every test series evaluation, Pravin sir schedules a 1 hour call to discuss how Ashish can improve his marks and the sources he can refer for key topics.
