Really happy to inform that the Prelims module will also be available in a topic-wise head format in addition to yearwise.

That way, you can start using it since the beginning of your preparation and orient yourself in the right direction at the earliest.

Mains module is already in a topicwise format and I’m sure you’re already using it the best to aid your preparation.

Idk what this reminds me of! 🌚

With the right guidance, 2-3 attempts should be enough and it’s time to look for something else in life. Don’t fall for the exceptions having no fallback and clearing in the final attempts!

There won’t be another like him. Ratan Tata Ji, The Legend, will always live in our memories.

Back to Delhi for sometime. Want to prioritise IFoS Module completion on mission mode for next 10-12 days. Post that, our Third Offline Sherlocking Meetup looks to be on the card, as committed here:
https://t.me/Neil_You/1899

Tentatively on 25th Oct at NGMA,Delhi.

More details to be shared closer to the meet.

Snippets from the first two meets attached in the above link.

Looking forward to seeing Sherlockers then.

Not sure if he said it, but I do agree with the message.

This ‘happiness’ is about fulfilment, not about hedonism.

And this fulfilment comes from giving yourself to the process, not to the outcome. Here’s to wishing that all of us find our processes and create our own fulfilment/happiness!

For those of you wanting to start Interview Prep passively:

https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFrAJkEb21Aw6AvebrOFilAYgRvDuWnvq&si=yuXyH6AGFK959Kua

Watch the shorts, analyse, observe and try to answer the same question in front of a camera. Given some insights in pinned comments. Can ask followups here if any!

Relevant Repost, sir shared last year:

“When we released Sherlocking Mains, the helpdesk was flooded with queries about what the course was about? Students were confused with the vocabulary.

"Ye syllabus parsing, PYQ mapping क्या जुमलेबाजी हैं। हमने तो सुना हैं, content is the king 👑! हमें नही समझ आता ये खेल। Telegram par foundation ki free video ka link do bas 😈"

Now here was my opinion on those videos.
https://t.me/UPSCneil/19293

And here was my orientation video that intended to answer your questions.
https://youtu.be/9yxBaFAOa-w?feature=shared

But we still feel that awareness generation about these concepts become important otherwise, merchants of chaos suggesting "गधा मजूरी is essential", and "छी छी, You're a failure if you don't have a superhuman memory and don't study for 12hrs" will reign supreme.

The idea is to help you understand:
"The most efficient तरीका to study"!

Our modules cover the execution with hand holding but even if you don't enroll, the free sessions will show you the way to walk on your own if you so desire.

In “Syllabus Parsing", our end game would be to "Use syllabus pointers as a cheat sheet", so that we can "Generate a lot of points" on seemingly difficult questions.”

Great to see Mr. Acemoglu win the Nobel.

Have been quoting him since sometime.

Reference

Pg4, Essay1.

His book ‘Why nations fail’ largely revolved around the key theme of ‘Extractive Institutions’.

Highlighted all you can use across GS and Essay!

@UPSCneil

Course Update:

As always, Sherlocking Modules not only come with a 2yr validity, but also 2yr free updates, atleast for now.

A lot of our past students have been surprised when they realised that the new updates are included in the validity.

However, due to re-organisation and changing contracts with the app providers, the situation will change by the end of the year for new admissions by then. If you were contemplating to enrol, there will be no better to enrol than now!

Around the end of the year, prices will undergo an upward revision, we’ll have different pricing structures for different validities and so on. We’re sure you’ll take the best call for the preparation.

For any followup queries, feel free to reach out to us on @helpdeskupsc.

Decent infographic for quick revision.
