π¨ To Mains 2025 Aspirants β A Serious Wake-Up Call
Donβt waste your precious 65 days, money & attempt by falling for FOMO or marketing gimmicks.
One wrong choice = two full years down the drain.
Hereβs how to spot scammy platforms/people β:
β AI-generated thumbnails and loud fear-mongering hooks like βJoin or Regret Foreverβ
β Testimonials from 2β3 years ago (Rank holders who have no link with current content)
β Vague βRank Xβ marketing without subject-wise score disclosure
(e.g., PSIR crash course by misunderstand upsc under rank '"xy" Guidance, hiding the fact that "xy" himself scored only in 250s)
Another example-
Essay Course advertised by shubra ma'am using big rank names (like Rank 1) without revealing that shakti dubey scored only 100 in that Essay paper.
β Telegram page owners using fake βinsider infoβ to grow followers and sell BS
(e.g., ghayal, robot, SOMP, xyIAS etc.) Inse ekdum doooooor.
---
β SO WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS?
pyq brainstorming, multiple revisions of your own short notes, hell of a writing practice under pressure and peer discussion.
And if you really want to join--
πΉ GS Test Series β Stick to reputed names like Vision, Forum
πΉ Optional Test Series β Go to subject experts like Shubhra Maβam (PSIR), Karandeep Sir (Anthro), Level Up (Socio) etc
πΉ Mentorship β ONLY if it's 1-on-1 under real top scorers or comes via trusted veterans & peers word of mouth feedback.. No herd joining.
β Avoid paid test series from TextIAS, VijayRam, StudyQI, SrthIAS, Chunya IAS, ellenias etc.
Their checking = trash.
Youβll end up more confused than before.
π Instead Use their model answers (freely available) for practice, not their paid tests.
Be smart. This exam rewards clarity & practice, not chaos.

β οΈ Gentle Reminder for Mains 2025 Aspirants
No single paper will get you in.
But ignoring even one β especially Essay β can surely keep you out.
Optional scores are expected to be capped around ~250 this year, to give more and more weightage for the Interview score.
At this stage, your focus must be clear:
βοΈ Secure average marks atleast across all 7 papers to clear the mains barrier, because alot will be altered at the PT stage.
You can lose 60β70 marks in just one essay paper. Donβt make that mistake by ignoring it . Because increasing GS + optional marks after a certain stage is nearly impossible.
Good luck π

"How did your optional perform in Mains 2025?"
"What went wrong?"
"Is the unpredictability of this exam even worth another try?"
I know many of you who couldnβt clear Mains this time must be asking yourselves these questions β battling self-doubt, confusion, and fatigue. But believe me, these thoughts serve no purpose right now. Whatever happened, let it go. Take a pause, breathe, and move forward.
Reaching this stage itself is a mark of exceptional grit β youβre already among the top few who dared to dream and fight for it.
If you truly aspire to serve this nation β as a bureaucrat or diplomat β remember this: perseverance is the one quality that separates success from surrender.
Take a weekβs break. Reflect with a calm mind. Then rise again β stronger, wiser, and hungrier than before.
Good luck. The journey isnβt over β itβs just being rewritten. πΏ
