Read what Arvind Agrawal sir has to say about UPSC Mains and answer writing approach
“Hello UPSC aspirants, I’m Arvind Agrawal, the Mains Program head at Civilsdaily.
In my journey of mentoring over 100 UPSC rankers, including achievers like AIR 16 and 22, I’ve realized the crucial role of enriched mains answer content.
The evolution of the UPSC Mains demands not just any content but one that resonates with the keywords in the syllabus, comprehensive and most importantly, usable.
My experience, particularly in evaluating 1500+ Mains answer copies, has taught me the significant difference between just writing answers and crafting enriched content.
Many aspirants, despite their hard work, remain confined to the 80s score range in the Mains. This stagnation is often not due to lack of effort but due to ineffective note-making and content enrichment.
This Tuesday, in my upcoming webinar, I’ll be addressing the heart of this issue.
We’ll delve deep into understanding the keywords of the syllabus and the art of making comprehensive notes for each one.
I’ll be sharing with you the insights on how to view note-making through the prism of Mains previous year questions, what a 2-3 page effective note should contain, and strategies for impactful note-making for the Mains exam.
Moreover, I will be showcasing examples of good and bad notes – a real eye-opener for many. This isn’t just a discussion; it’s a strategic session that could be a turning point in your preparation.
Whether you are starting fresh or looking to refine your approach, understanding these nuances of note-making can significantly elevate your Mains answers.
Join me this coming Tuesday for a session that is essential for anyone aiming to break the score barrier in Mains. It’s time to move beyond the conventional and embrace a strategy that aligns with the demands of the UPSC.”

At this time it isn’t just about UPSC syllabus completion, revision and attempting test series
In the last 3 years, a lot has changed about UPSC CSE Prelims

This will take you into the league of IAS toppers.
Read what Zeeshan sir has to say about UPSC prelims preparation and approach
“This is Zeeshan Hashmi from Civilsdaily, and today, I want to share my perspective on the evolving nature of UPSC Prelims preparation. Having mentored over 100 rankers, including AIR 22 and 56, I’ve witnessed firsthand the shift in the exam’s approach and what it demands from aspirants.
The era of solely relying on conventional books, multiple revisions, and countless mock tests for Prelims success is behind us. Now, the UPSC Prelims has transformed to rigorously test your real-time problem-solving abilities. It’s no longer about what you know; it’s about how you apply it under pressure.
Interestingly, about 50 questions in the paper often fall into the vague or unknown category. It’s a clear indication that sticking to the traditional methods of preparation – confining oneself to the syllabus and regular tests – is not sufficient anymore.
That’s why I am inviting you to attend my upcoming webinar, where I will introduce you to the ‘Knowledge+ Approach.‘ This innovative method focuses on real-time derivation of answers, turning questions that seem impossible into achievable opportunities.
Join me on 6th January 2024, at 7 PM on Zoom, for a session that will redefine your approach to UPSC Prelims.
This webinar is more than just a strategy discussion. It’s about adapting a methodology that aligns with the current demands of UPSC – a blend of knowledge and on-the-spot analytical skills.
Whether you’re starting your journey or looking to refine your strategy, this webinar is a pivotal step towards achieving your IAS dream. It’s time to move beyond the conventional, embrace strategic learning, and step into your preparation with confidence and clarity.”
By the end, you’ll have razor-sharp clarity and a clear roadmap for approaching and qualifying your UPSC 2024 prelims exam with confidence and near-perfect certainty.

The Interview Stage is the most important stage and a chance for you to very easily score 190+ provided you are guided with the right feedback.
Seasoned bureacrats will not ask you silly pressure test questions – proposing to a glass, writing a random prescription. They ask you thought provoking questions inline with what will be asked in the actual exam.

Read what Rohit sir has to say about UPSC preparation and approach
“Hey, this is Rohit Pande here, and I’m excited to talk about something that I deeply believe in: “The art of meticulous planning in UPSC preparation.”
It’s a common misconception that clearing the UPSC in your first attempt is all about studying randomly for a year. Let me tell you, it’s much more than that. Every IAS ranker who has achieved this feat did not rely on just standard resources or mock tests. They had a plan, a blueprint for success that they followed with unwavering dedication.
As we are stepping into the UPSC 2025 preparation cycle, it’s crucial to assess your strategy. How do you plan to approach this mammoth exam? This is where I come in.
I’m hosting a webinar on 1st January 2024, at 6 PM on Zoom, and you’re invited.
This isn’t just another session where I’ll be talking about what books to read or generic strategies. Instead, I’ll be sharing the exact study plans of IAS rankers who cracked the UPSC in their first attempt. We’ll dissect these plans, understand their core, and then, most importantly, adapt them to fit your unique needs and preparation stage.
This masterclass is not only a reality check on modern-day UPSC preparation but also an opportunity for you to get personalized inputs on your current strategy.
It’s an essential session, especially if you’re just starting out. Here, you’ll learn how to define your plan, minimize daily anxiety, fear, and uncertainty, and embark on a journey filled with confidence and clarity.
Join me in this transformative session and take the first step towards turning your IAS dream into reality. Remember, it’s not just about hard work; it’s about smart, strategic, and structured preparation.”
By the end, you’ll have razor-sharp clarity and a clear roadmap for approaching and qualifying your UPSC 2025 exam with confidence and near-perfect certainty.
