Essay Course Enrollment Begins

Essay Module by UPSC&You

Namaskar, I'm Neil.

I've written 3 CSE Mains, 1 IFoS Mains, and 1 HCS Mains(Result Awaited).

I've gotten the interview call for both CSE and IFoS in 2022.

In essay, I've scored 137(2019) and 133(2021) in my past attempts.

I've launched a course on Essay that I'm certain will add tremendous value to your preparation.

Deliverables

-3 Theory classes
-2 Activity based group sessions
-3 Single Essay Evaluation
-One-One performance review call towards the end to track progress.

Check out the short video, Brochure and the link to the orientation class.

Orientation Video: https://youtu.be/kzf336HnSZg

Telegram Channel: https://t.me/UPSCneil

The course now has a total of 6/7 videos to ensure comprehensive coverage of all tools.

First couple of videos uploaded. People who have enrolled, login to youtube with your registered ID and start watching.

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFrAJkEb21AyHP5UgvBGdvrzp7ydewUIv

All 6 videos in the course uploaded.

Description box has all the material that had to be shared.

Note: I mistakenly say in the 6th video that it is the second last video thinking that I have to analyse 17PDFs.

I later realise that those 17 essays are distributed over 11PDFs and not 17.

6th video is indeed the final and concluding video of the series.

Happy learning!

Also a lot of people have been enquiring about wanting just the course without the evaluation as they're already enrolled in a different test series.

Feel free to send such enquiries to @helpdeskupsc and they will help you at the earliest.

For students enrolled in Essay course, I would encourage you to schedule your Activity classes after you watch the videos atleast thrice so that you internalise the methodology and approach. Feel free to leave your honest feedback of the classes at @helpdeskupsc. Happy learning!

Result update:


Cleared HCS Mains, got my third Interview call for the year.

I think this group was the missing ingredient from my life until now.

Ofcourse, there are still no guarantees of a fulfilling end, but this just makes me believe more and more in the process.

In their tryst to erode the advantage hitherto enjoyed by science optionals, HCS made such a difficult paper, but I did what I could without panicking.

Prepped Hindi in 3 days, was not satisfied ofc, but didn't let perfection be the enemy for sufficing.

Then there was the GS exam with 6 pages of space given for 14markers, as opposed to 2pages for 6 markers.

The takeaway for me stays the same.

Stick to basics and back yourself like crazy, both outside and inside the examination hall.

Keep grinding guys, we'll meet soon over the weekend

I was getting asked a lot of times, how to effectively read newspapers. Here it is.
