Our open tests have the highest hit ratios because we follow 2 simple principles, 5 categories, and 80 themes.

1. 4 categories of questions

The actual UPSC prelims paper can be said to follow broadly 5 categories – 1.⁠ ⁠Core, 2.⁠ ⁠Non-core, 3.⁠ ⁠Logical, 4.⁠ ⁠Ultra-hard (Skippable). We are aligning very closely with this distribution. 

1.⁠ ⁠Core: These questions are from core sources like standard books, monthly magazines, and Atomic Notes. You are expected to answer ALL of these questions correctly.

[2023] Consider the following statements:

1.⁠ ⁠India has more arable area than China.

2.⁠ ⁠The proportion of irrigated area is more in India as compared to China.

3.⁠ ⁠The average productivity per hectare in Indian agriculture is higher than that in China.

(c) Only three

(d) All four

4.⁠ ⁠Ultra-hard (Skippable): Needs to be skipped (if attempted by student, it’s a case of over-attempt. Because knowing what not to attempt is as important as knowing what to attempt. 

[2023] Consider the following fauna:

1.⁠ ⁠Lion-tailed Macaque

2.⁠ ⁠Malabar Civet

3.⁠ ⁠Sambar Deer

How many of the above are generally nocturnal or most active after sunset?

(a)  Only one

(b) Only two

(c)  All three

(d) None

2. 80 most repeated UPSC themes 

We are being very precise. We won’t ask you a broad question on Species. 

When it comes to high-profile species like tigers, elephants, and other critically endangered species, UPSC is asking for conservation efforts or behavioural patterns. We will ask you something similar. We are this detail-oriented. 

This is true for all subjects. For instance, in Economics, detailed questions on inflation, bonds, differentiated banks, etc. are more difficult. 

We have 80 detailed themes and our questions will be framed on similar lines. 

[CSP2017]Q. The term ‘M-STrIPES’ is sometimes seen in the news in the context of

(a)Captive breeding of Wild Fauna

(b)Maintenance of Tiger Reserves

(c)Indigenous Satellite Navigation System

(d)Security of National Highways

[CSP2020]Q. Among the following Tiger Reserves, which one has the largest area under “Critical Tiger Habitat”?

(d) 1, 3 and 4 only

Learn the art of Mastering framework in the Ethics (GS 4) Paper. We are sharing the EXACT FRAMEWORK used by Animesh (AIR 2, UAP Student of Civilsdaily) in his Mocks.

Join FREE Webinar on 5th May, 7:00 pm

First 100 will get free mentorship session

We recently shot a Raw & Real Episode with Animesh, and we talked about how he was a below average scorer in the Interview.

But how can a below average scorer top the UPSC Exam with AIR 2? Closely analyzing his marks will tell you that he had performed SO WELL in his Mains – he had made his rank INTERVIEW PROOF.

That’s right. Even if Animesh scored 25 marks less than what he scored in the interview, he would still be Rank 11. That’s the power of an effective Mains.

But we will talk specifically about his Ethics Paper today. Animesh scored a whooping 134 marks in Ethics, one of the highest marks in the HISTORY of the Ethics Paper. Was he the most ethical person among the ~3000 odd people who wrote Mains last year?

We see students talking about how ethical they are in real life, but they aren’t getting enough marks in the paper.

The reason is simple. You don’t have to KNOW that you are ethical. You have to SHOW the examiner that you draw these principles from something concrete.

Your Ethics should be based upon theories of thinkers that you have read, or real life examples that you see in REAL world (NOT ANECDOTES which are majorly forced examples), the reading that you do daily in the newspaper, the way you THINK like a THINKER.

Analyzing Animesh’s Answer Copies with Civilsdaily, we draw some insights:

1. Unlike other aspirants writing generic answers, Animesh exactly addresses the implicit and explicit demands of the question.

2. Each part of the question is addressed – benefit of a proper structure.

3. Enriched Content – Use of cliche examples (Quoting Gandhi, Kalam in all questions related to visionary leadership) is minimal. Instead, prominent usage of REAL EXAMPLES (Quoting Suo-moto cognizance of Supreme Court in Manipur – definitely a differentiator)

4. Quoting diagrams where required – No SUPERFICIAL LANGUAGE-BASED Answers, instead KNOWLEDGE-BASED quoting of thinkers, philosophies.

5. Writing like an OFFICER – not like the crowd who wants to sound “ETHICAL”.

This is not something we are explaining just out of our finite minds. Look at some of his answers:

Look at how he wrote a definition of Conflict of Interest. Clear and crisp. Exactly conveys the definition – leaves NO SCOPE for the examiner to deduct marks.

Similarly, look at his usage of thinkers in almost all his answers:

Starting the definition of values by Quoting how Radhakamal Mukherjee defined it.

Quoting John Rawl’s Differential Principles

Similarly, the usage of Diagrams and its correlation with his marks is EVIDENT.

Diagram 1 – Showing Government’s Role in delivery of social justice.

Diagram 2 – Explaining Role of Education through History and quoting examples (Now that’s a NEXT LEVEL of value addition!)

LET’S KNOW THIS.

Competition is FIERCE now. You MIGHT think you have a decent framework, you are quoting examples, you are quoting thinkers – but there is someone out there who is taking the competition to the NEXT LEVEL.

• Quoting the MOST REAL & RELEVANT Examples which are the real differentiators
• Using diagrams and quoting examples within the diagrams (NEXT LEVEL ENRICHMENT)
• Most of all – having a THEME SPECIFIC FRAMEWORK (You don’t have to come up with a definition in the exam hall – know it beforehand!)

These ideas aren’t inherent. It can be built within. For how Animesh started with his first answer copy, we see a marked difference in how he improved over the time. We made sure he reached a level that competing with him would be a horse race – you lose a step, and it’s all over.

We intend to do the same thing with you guys. Shubham Sir (Senior Mentor, Civilsdaily – Mentored more than 500 rankers) will explain to you in great detail on a Strategy to Score 120+ Marks in Ethics. 

This is a NO-NONSENSE STRATEGY and we’ll be delving deep into Animesh’s (AIR 2) Answer Copies, so you definitely don’t want to miss out on this.

Join us in our Webinar, where we take insights from Animesh’s (AIR 2) Ethics Answer Copies, and devise a strategy to score 120+ in Ethics Paper with an effective framework.

Specific Outcomes of the Workshop

1. At the end of the workshop, you will know the difference between a Generic Answer & a Well-laid structured answer.

2. Content Enrichment – Learning the art of quotes, examples which are REAL DIFFERENTIATORS.

4. Theme Specific Framework – Example (Corporate Governance, Emotional Intelligence, Aptitude vs Attitude – Having ready made points)

5. Presentations Aspect – Use of diagrams & interlinking with specific examples. 

6. Structuring of Case Studies, dimension coverage and linking points to theories.

8. Writing like an OFFICER – not just an aspirant!

Registration is FREE but MANDATORY!

Learn the effective current affairs strategy used by AIR 2 Animesh Pradhan (UPSC 2023) of preparing for UPSC as a working professional

Join FREE Webinar on 3rd May, 7:00 pm

First 200 will get free mentorship session

You are a Working Professional. You decided to give the UPSC 2025 Attempt . You got a subscription of The Hindu & Indian Express both – pledging you will complete this daily and make notes.

But it’s Monday today – you start with pressure of work, managing project deadlines, attending meetings, client work – PHEW!

By the time you reach home, you are already drained, leaving you NO time to go through the newspaper. 

As a working professional, managing a job with UPSC Preparation can be a tough race against time. It is difficult to even cover the syllabus, let alone managing current affairs. You still somehow manage to cover some part of the news. But then, issue of Current Affairs becomes very specific

1. Despite having tried to read Current Affairs, you are still missing out on important news.

2. You don’t know how to INTERLINK Current Affairs topics with the Static Portion.

3. Some Editorials seem too complex for you to understand and grasp.

Till the end of the month, you don’t remember what you read in the first week of the same month – ZERO DISPLACEMENT, NO RECALL.

The enthusiasm slowly withers away, and your pledge to give the exam in 2025, changes to 2026, 2027, 2028…

When Animesh (Rank 2, 2023 – Our Student of UAP Mentorship) started giving his tests with us, his Static Portions weren’t very clear. Despite that, just out of going through our Samachar Manthan religiously, he was able to write answers on Static topics.

His journey was, however, not smooth. Look at his 1st Answer Copy which he wrote with us:

Animesh had enough content to write an answer for this question – because he was religious with our Samachar Manthan. But he wasn’t addressing the demand of the question.

Now look at the 50th Test Copy that he wrote:

Not only was he fulfilling the demand of the question, he was effectively using subheadings (dimensions) and examples through value-addition he could gather from Samachar Manthan.

Needless to say, this helped him secure one of the highest GS Marks this year, with 100+ Marks in all 3 papers!

We claim this – as a Working Professional, if you are not able to cope up with Newspaper, LEAVE IT. We will cover it for you. If you are a working professional, we will tell you the EXACT WAY to handle Current Affairs in 7 Hours of your Week (Specific Details – No Nonsense Strategy)

Join us in our Webinar, where we will discuss HOW we need to craft a process in 7 Hours/Week for Current Affairs as a working professional!

Register for Purnima Ma’am’s Webinar

Key outcomes of the Webinar

1. After attending the webinar, you’ll know exactly how to cover CA in limited time and with a fixed source

2. Will understand the METHOD used to understand complex Editorials

3. You’ll Master time management, especially your UPSC Study Plan (Target-based Current Affairs Coverage)

Registration is FREE but MANDATORY!

Attend this Webinar if

1. If you are Working Professional & have given up hopes on covering newspapers
2. If you are desperate to add that Current Affair Example in your Static Questions Answer.
3. If you are still trying to wrap your heads around patterns, syllabus, and expectations of UPSC with respect to Current Affairs.

Time is money. However, in UPSC Preparation, time is the currency of success. Unfortunately, as a working professional, we always have a crunch of time.

With such a shortage of time & so many things to cover, how do we know if what we are covering is helping us make progress?

Are we giving enough time to the newspaper?

Are we doing well enough in our tests?

Are we recalling whatever we are studying?

Are we able to write decent answers?

What is that ONE METHODOLOGY that will tell you exactly HOW you can track your preparation level as a Working Professional?

With the current trends we see in UPSC, one thing is obvious – UPSC has made it a level-playing field.

More questions can be solved using ANCHORING of PYQs, rather than trying to mug up a plethora of facts, and “everything under the sun”, as most perceive it.

So, while many aspirants are trying to figure out what will work, a Working Professional, with the right approach, will nail it through razor-sharpness.

• While full-timers will try to cover every piece of content available due to FOMO, a working professional will cut through the clutter and read only what is relevant.
• While full-timers will read more than required, a working professional will PRACTICE themes that will be repeated each year.
• While full-timers will start with writing Level 1 questions, a working professional will have ENOUGH UNDERSTANDING through our approach to answer EXAM-LEVEL questions.
  

Who will help us, working professionals, assess progress in this quest?

Join us in our Webinar, where we will discuss WHY we need to and HOW we can check our progress in UPSC Preparations as working professionals!

Learn the Current affairs strategy used by AIR 2 Animesh Pradhan and how he leveraged Samachar Manthan Program in Prelims and Mains

---

Current Affairs are where a UPSC aspirant is always confused, be it at any part of the journey. A newbie is concerned about so many topics to be covered, and a veteran is confused—where is UPSC asking questions from?

Further, an aspirant often gets swayed by Opinion pieces, inclining him towards the left or right side. How, then, can an aspirant ingrain only balanced views & write similar answers in the exam?

What about Working Professionals? You have less time to cover even the basics. With such a paucity of time, covering current affairs daily seems like a daunting task.

Needless to say – Current Affairs is one major area where Aspirants need to be addressed – approach, ample time, and application of Current Affairs.

4. Managing Current Affairs.
5. Being in the right mindset.

And all the above competencies have a long gestation period. They need to be consciously worked upon along with covering

Target 110+ in your GS1-4. Strategy for UPSC Mains 2024

Answer Booklets of Rankers serve 3 purposes

1. You understand how answer writing standards have been rising through the years. A small eg. AIR 1, 2017 Anudeep Durishetty covered all dimensions supported by factual information. This year’s AIR 1, Ishita Kishore was a natural writer. Less facts but better structure, better flow.
2. It is the only way to understand what UPSC considers a top-notch answer NOW in 2024.
3. It tells you the level of competition and how far you have to go.

It is exceptionally hard to interpret answer booklets of Rankers and draw insights from them. Shubham Sir has done all the heavy lifting. Attend his session and get a clear idea of where you should be progressing.

“I have not just cleared UPSC with an IPS rank but consistently improved upon my Prelims score from 75 to 109 to 125 in Prelims Paper 1.

I know how crucial and tough this UPSC Prelims exam has become over the last few years.

Throughout my journey, I’ve learned the critical role of logical paper-solving skills, ability to take risks, and the use of common sense for solving Prelims MCQs.

With more time to Prelims 2024, you actually have an opportunity to go beyond 110+ marks. Understand, this time advantage might push the cut-off. You need to squeeze out the max from this time.

A strong introduction is your first step to standing out in UPSC Mains.

The opening lines of your answer can captivate or lose the examiner’s interest.

It’s not just an introduction; it’s your chance to make a memorable first impression.

Crafting the perfect start is an art that sets the tone for your entire answer.

An impactful introduction reflects a deep understanding of the question and its context.

It’s about more than answering the question; it’s about showcasing your analytical prowess.

But what makes an introduction truly engaging and effective?

Join Arvind Sir as he reveals the strategies IAS toppers use to craft winning introductions in UPSC Mains answers.

Read what Arvind Agrawal sir has to say about UPSC Answer Writing

“Hi everyone,

I’m Arvind Agrawal, leading the UPSC Mains Program. Today, I want to share something important about writing answers in UPSC Mains, especially how you start them.

The first few lines of your answer can really catch the examiner’s eye. It’s like making a first good impression. Whether the question is about government reforms or women’s rights, starting right matters.

It’s also about making things clear from the beginning. Mentioning a recent event when talking about climate change, for example, can make your answer more relevant. Answering the question directly, like when discussing Indian federalism’s challenges, shows you know what’s being asked.

A good start can set up your whole answer, telling the examiner what to expect.

It’s about engaging the reader, sparking interest with a pertinent fact or quote, perhaps something thought-provoking by Amartya Sen on development.

But it’s not just about grabbing attention. It’s about showing you understand the question and can think deeply about it. This is what we’re going to focus on in our upcoming webinar. We’ll look at how IAS toppers write their introductions to make their answers stand out.

I’ll share tips on how to do this yourself, making sure your answers are not just read but remembered. This webinar is for anyone looking to improve their scores by writing better answers from the very first line.

I hope you’ll join me. It’s a chance to learn something that could really make a difference in your UPSC Mains preparation.

See you at the webinar!

Best, Arvind Agrawal”

One of the first questions that comes to the mind of every UPSC aspirant at the start of their preparation is – What is the best UPSC monthly magazine? Which UPSC monthly current affairs magazine should I refer to? Now that you are here, consider all those questions answered once and for all.

Fill out the form and access the notes

Here is what Aaditya, IAS, AIR 48 had to say about Atomic Notes.

Atomic Notes is not your regular monthly magazine. Most regular monthly magazines are covering broad topics and missing the prelims focus required. They are bulky and not revision-ready.

Atomic Notes will ensure that everything you need to repeatedly revise and memorize is in one place. The best part, they are free to download and are available in PDF format for easy access.

Atomic Notes is the *only* Monthly CA you should refer to. Add new sources once you have covered Atomic Notes 100% end to end.

1. Keyword-oriented to-the-point. Ensure maximum hit ratio in prelims and value-addition in mains.
2. Designed for repeated revisions. 35-40 pages, 110-120 news items.
3. Segregated sub-sections. eg. environment section is divided into species, protected areas, etc.  
4. Covers The Hindu, Indian Express, PIB, and various other sources. Link to the parent story present.
5. Strictly syllabus-based with a special focus on facts, data, committees, international news, etc.

Every topper has attempted UPSC Prelims PYQs. In fact many toppers have spent 3-4 months analyzing prelims questions. Needless to say, without attempting PYQs, you wont be able. PYQs are important because-

1. Only through PYQs you get a clue about what and how UPSC is thinking. Without PYQs you will keep working on your own assumptions and that will not yield results.
2. You understand the high-priority themes for UPSC. You can’t be studying like an 11th or 12th grader and then expect to clear the exam. These are not boards.
3. Within those high-priority themes, the depth and dimensions being asked are very important. You have to closely observe them.
4. Undertanding question framing, options.
5. Attempting PYQs means simulating real exam conditions. Each question will appear like a bouncer. But can’t duck. You need to take shots.
