📉💡 Unpopular Opinion:
🏛️🌑 UPSC preparation industry is in a peak dark age.
🗣️🚫 A lot of lies have become so internalized in the aspirants as a part of the prep cycle, that they’re accepted as unquestionable FACTS.
🤔🔥 And anyone questioning them is a ‘heretic’, as they called them in the dark ages.
🔮🕰️ I’m sure that just how heliocentrism was an idea which took time to get accepted in the mainstream but now is so obvious in hindsight, ideas that we discuss here will also stand the scrutiny of time.
💔📊 LIE: Mocks are a benchmark to test your preparation.
🙅♂️⛔ Absolutely No.
🧠💣 Mock tests are made by people whose primary intent is to give questions which are hard to solve with knowledge or heuristics for fear mongering.
💵👻 And fear is the best salesman for these institutions.
📚✔️ Stick to basic sources, PYQ analysis and application of Heuristics.
📉🏋️♂️ FLTs should be restricted to 6-10 mostly for simulation exercise, and not to beat your spirit up.
🔄🎭 LIE: UPSC is changing its pattern to eliminate tricks/elimination/guessmastergiri.
👀🤢 These terms, if you carefully notice, have been carefully crafted to arouse a sense of ‘disgust’ towards any guesswork.
💰🚫 Now not to say that YT bhaiyas and didis have done nothing to bring disrepute to the art.
🔍💸 But people who are peddling these ideas are also dependent on a revenue stream coming from ‘Long 100+hr courses’, so that Conflict of Interest should always be considered.
🎲🚷 A trick is to deceive. ‘Guessmasters’ have mindless ‘tricks’ without considering context.
🎓🌱 Logic Reasoning is neither a trick nor Guessmastergiri.
🧠🌟 It’s nature’s gift to us, driving our survival since eons helping us ‘apply’ our existing ‘knowledge’.
📰💰 LIE: UPSC = Current/Contemporary Affairs.
💸🐄 Current Affairs is a cash cow bringing a stable yearly revenue to these institutions.
🏛️🔁 Foundation can be sold only once, CA is well ‘Current’!
🎯🆕 When these institutions were unable to show its direct relevance to PYQs, they invented a new jumla aka ‘Contemporary’ is now ‘Current’.
🥇🎲 Masterstroke I must tell you, because now you can indirectly connect everything from a pool of unending newspapers over a large 3-5yr span, and sell more courses.
📊🚫 Current Affairs has relevance, nobody is denying that, but not to the extent that is emphasised on.
👀⏳ I see students wasting 50-60% of their time on it.
🔍🎥 Look at some of our YT analysis to bust this myth with evidence and don’t give more than 10-15% time to it.
💪🔍 Nietzsche once famously remarked, “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”.
🌟📢 The idea to bust these myths was inspired by the propaganda being run by some fringe Padosis who misinform students to focus on the ‘Conventional Lies’.
🙋♂️📜 As they say, “सवारी समान की खुद ज़िम्मेदार हैं”.
🤷♂️📚 I absolutely don’t care whether you agree with me or not, my job is to give you the unadulterated truth with an edifice of 6yr+ experience and Logical Reasoning.
🤝🌍 But remember, whatever you agree with has to be in consonance with the ground reality.
📬✉️ For doubts, feel free to reach out to @UPSCneil.

Spoiler Alert for those waiting for official answer key.
Since I’ve nearly shot the Pre23 for Sherlocking Module, we’ve realised that there were around 10-15 Qns with ambiguos Qn/Option framing.
The answers to those questions will be arbitrary as it includes an element of discretion and in no way will reflect the ‘objectively’ correct options.
Rather than focusing on What Ifs based on your last performance, I would encourage you to do an objective audit and prioritise the remaining 85 questions with unambiguous answers to give yourself the best chance to clear this year.
For any doubts, get back to me at @UPSCneil!

This is relevant for students waiting for results as well as the ones waiting for the upcoming Prelims.
You should not should take precious years of your youth to realise the ultimate truth of this exam, IT IS BRUTALLY UNCERTAIN!
Focus on sticking to Basic sources, PYQ Analysis, Application(Finding the right option in Pre, Answer Writing in Mains, Articulation in Interviews) and leave the rest to Almighty/Mother Nature/Blessings of Your Parents or whatever power you believe in!

UPSC Prelims verus Sherlocking
I have often been asked what is 'Sherlocking' and if it was applicable in UPSC Prelims 2023 and how relevant will it be moving forward.
This short video not only covers the basics of 'Sherlocking' but I demonstrate its basics by solving some questions from UPSC Prelims 2023.
Know that while this exam comes with no guarantee, I truly believe that following the right process can give you as good a chance as there can be.

Parshuram’s Curse to Karna should be a lesson in avoiding IP Infringement:
It has come to our notice that some subversive elements are:
-Pestering enrolled Sherlockers to ‘share’ the course!
Since we have a sincere honest community our students don't violate my hardwork. So then the fringe elements,
-Goto other groups finding like minded fringe elements to share the course with.
Know that our students always apprise us of such elements and we have fo unfortunately ban such elements as well as decline their enrollments.
As I've discussed before, I didn’t get this IP in विरासत। I had to create this from ground up and refine it for it to be efficient while giving precious 6+yrs of my 20s!
If you violate it, you’re playing a lose lose for all:
-You devoid me of my due from my hardwork and let down my trust.
-Anyway the IP won’t help you courtesy Parshuram’s Curse to Karna.
If you don’t think IP is worth enrolling in, don’t and just self study or go for “free mentorships” which are plenty on YT!
If you do think my IP can help you, then be true to your side of the social contract!
I’m sure you’ll understand the dynamics of the situation and be reasonable to me and to your future!
I'm sure you won't let me down.

Community Day and A Message to the Aspirants:
As insidergiri peaks this week, speculation is rife that Final Results for UPSC 2023 might be out anytime now.
Having been here in the past, I can suggest certain conventions to be followed which will enrich our entire community even more.
This is a delicate time for students who are waiting for the results. At the same time, it’s a time of curiosity too for the rest.
We’ve to ensure that our curiosities do not come in the way of a fellow member’s mental peace.
I would request everyone to be kind to community members and refrain from asking for results. If you want to check someone’s results, go discreetly and do a Ctrl+F on the Holy PDF.
But kindly don’t act like the metaphorical toxic “दूर के फुफेरे मौसा, the great know it all, a person of no subtlety”!
Every year results come, people are selected, people miss marginally, but it’s your Karma that sticks, it’s your kindness that is remembered!
Also, let’s come together to alleviate our anxieties on @Life_neil at around 10AM and listen to infinite community radio where your recommendations are encouraged.
Wishes!

On UPSC 2023 Results
The UPSC CSE 2023 results have been declared. To all, especially my students, who have made it to the final list - congratulations but remember, this too shall pass. To my students who could not make it to the holy PDF, remember - this too shall pass.
No matter what you are feeling right now, know that emotions are temporary and times will change.
Be kind and respectful to each other.
I have made a small video sharing my experience as well as how to deal with anxiety and hope that students find some value in it -
https://youtu.be/bfEMhYlLMYc
Students who have started preparation and are feeling anxious might also find the video helpful. As always, have tried to be as honest as I can be.
