A lot of students send queries regarding questions that can be asked in interview regarding their education, especially if they perceive that their education institution is not one of the 'apex' ones.

Watch the short to understand how to handle such questions!

CSAT Comprehension is markedly different to the comprehension questions we’re used to doing since an early age. Hence people find this section impeccably difficult even though in my eyes, it’s the easiest.

Questions about application of technology, especially if you have a related background, are common. Check out the short to see how such questions can be answered!

🧠 Mental conditioning, as we say, is as important as your content preparedness in this exam.

🎯 There’s a reason that sports psychology is a heavily invested domain where focus similarly is on maintaining the right mindset during crunch hours.

💫 Focus on trying to undo the fear-based conditioning the market and a toxic ecosystem has instilled in you and replace it with a positive anticipation-based one.

🌈 This exam is neither a new beginning nor an end.

⚡ This exam is neither the toughest nor the best.

🌟 This exam, or any exam for that matter, is not worth losing your own self for. Stay in touch with your own authentic self.

UPSC will eliminate PYQs to *surprise* candidates in UPSC Prelims 2024?

▪️One of the most common doubts that students have is - what if UPSC eliminates PYQs like it *seemingly* eliminated elimination technique in Prelims 2023? 😢

▪️What if the *surprise* this time around is an all together different set of themes? 😮

▪️Watch this concise video (not even 5 minutes long) where I address such doubts as well as doubts like how many years of PYQs should be covered for non-civil services exams conducted by UPSC like CDS etc -

Morning Session tomorrow regarding mindset. We’ll do some difficult exercises which if you execute with me give you tremendous improvements in terms of getting over the past failures.

All enrolled students will get the links by 11PM.

See you around 11.30ishAM tomorrow!

Sherlocking IGP:

Sometimes, one may want more clarity about the feedback received in a mock interview or may even disagree with the feedback. It is a good idea to seek further clarity if the feedback is not clear.

This is what I mean when I say that "Let go of the illusion of control".

Working hard in the right direction is de minimus, but success, unlike a consumer durable, doesn't come with a guarantee card!

Should certainly ease your nerves.

Seeing the tremendous positive response on today’s meet, we’ll have another follow up session for the sherlockers tomorrow same time where we’ll pick from where we left today.

Kindly ping @helpdeskupsc for follow ups if any.

Right Community is always the Right Company! ❤️

Confidence while doing PYQs v. while doing Mocks

While the short is intended to be light hearted, it is an unfortunate truth that many candidates lose their self-belief in before the actual Prelims due to the nature of mocks and hence, the low score -

What is instrumentation and control?

🗳️📅 With the election dates announced, the fringe has gotten activated, and now insider-giri is in full swing.

🤔📚 Rather than focusing on prep, students are more worried about, “Exam postpone होगा क्या”?

👂❓ What do you want to hear?

🔄✋ If it were to get postponed, will you stop preparing? What will change?

🕵️‍♂️🛡️ Sherlockers anyway are covered against the uncertainty.

🌱💡 I always encourage you to not quit Mains completely. So if hypothetically (which will be the case in all possibility), the exam is postponed, you get more time to hone your Mains on the side.

⏳📆 Now whether you get a week more or a month, could only be confirmed by the honourable commission.

🙅‍♂️🚫 Also, don’t focus on useless arguments like - “अगर exam postpone हुआ तो competition बढ़ जाएगा, इसीलिए सिर्फ़ Pre पर ही focus krenge”! During 2020, the exam was postponed by more than 4ish months, yet the cutoff plummeted.

🌊⛵️ सब एक ही समुंदर के गोतों में हैं, जो अपनी कश्ती लहरों के साथ चलाता रहेगा, और ख़ुद उसमे Anxiety का छेद नहीं करेगा, will get the best chance to clear.

📖🧭 Stick to basics, use your common sense, and stay focused on the end game.

The biggest success of the Pre Sherlocking Module is the fact that all enrolled students recognised the stark difference in quality between the module videos and the clickbaity PYQ videos on YouTube!

A lot of students at times enroll in one subject to check the quality and we’ve had 100% conversion as they always upgrade to the full module within the stipulated 15day window.

Don’t take my word for it, check out the testimonials and FAQs below!
