Dear Aspirants,

Sharing something which is very personal to me. This about the Essay Program with UPSC Guide. It goes without saying that your performance in Essay can bring a substantial change in your overall score. Often ignored, this paper requires efforts and preparation to understand its nuances. I have gathered my experiences and content and prepared the course in a structured way. To ensure it remains affordable and widely accessible, we have kept the fees as nominal as possible. But I’m not here to generate revenue by selling courses, the aim is to produce larger value out of my preparation and experience.

This program is very close to my heart. Although I lost Maa a month before the results to cancer, she was not just a warrior – she was a winner. Going through cancer is itself a victory. In her memory and as a tribute to all such warriors, I am dedicated to use this platform to create a better impact. Therefore, 100% of the revenue generated from this program will be donated to support cancer treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital and any such Government/credible cancer funds in Odisha. I shall ensure that we collaborate with Government funds to ensure complete transparency. I shall communicate the enrolment and donation amount to the enrolled students to ensure accountability.

Don’t enrol here just out of sympathy, but I have genuinely put my efforts in building the course.

Starting the session in 5 mins.

Started. Join!

Here is the recording to the session - GS 1 and GS 3.

Been getting this a lot, want to clarify - I have read all the standard resources like Laxmikant and Spectrum and everything else too but relied on them majorly for Prelims. I was able to make 1 page notes because I got my conceptual clarity from these standards books that all toppers read.

If you didn't find your name or roll number in the pdf today, extending hugs to you. Do anything and everything that makes you a bit less unhappy and worried. Everyone can give gyaan, no body is in your shoes to truly empathise with you. Just remember, you have it in you - you had a bad day but you don't have a bad life.

We are left with Ethics and Sociology 1/2 strategy for Mains '24. Let's do that within a week.

But I would like to talk to aspirants who are now aiming for 2025.

I will share my Economy, Art and Culture Notes and few answer copies by Sunday.

For people who were unlucky at Prelims '24, please unfollow any UPSC content for atleast 2-3 days, give yourself a break and come back stronger and better 💪

I am open to reviews for the essay course. Would like to hear especially from people who watched the first essay class yesterday. Good and bad, both ways, feel free to write me down about the essay course feedback at animeshpradhanupsc@gmail.com

Will share the revenue generated to the enrolled students by end of this week.

We have decided to share the revenue between TATA Memorial Fund and Odisha CM Relief Fund, both are extremely credible.

Had to make further clarifications because a lot of my interviews are cut and put without contexts. This was about Mentorship Programs, and apparently it's the new buzz word in the industry.

Specifically for Mentorship and GS Mains Test Series, I had enrolled in the year long Mentorship Program (UAP '23) at CivilsDaily from Feb '22. Was extremely helpful.

I was enrolled in Vision's Lakshya Mentorship one month prior to actual Mains because I was a student of Vision Sociology Test Series. Got it free of cost. Couldn't utilise much from Lakshya. I have been associated with Vision in other ways - Abhyaas and Sociology, both wonderful stuff.

Reliable Valid - Took Sociology Mentorship/Test Series before starting Prelims Exclusive Prep.

Wasn't associated with any other mentorship course - please beware of any such claims.

Very last minute, but won't get time otherwise.

Today - 3 July - Ethics Strategy Session at 10:30 PM

Will keep it very short and would record the session.
