Every single enrolled student must have gotten the access to atleast some videos by now. Check with @helpdeskupsc if you haven't recieved any access at all.

Also a final reminder for the essay students. If you have any activity class or evaluation pending, get done with it asap. I've anyway extended the validity beyond the initially promised 6weeks from enrollment so that you can use it in the most optimum way but it will certainly expire from mid April.

Today's session with the enrolled students was really engaging. Planning one for tomorrow for everyone at large. We'll quickly discuss certain do's and don'ts for upcoming Prelims and take some questions, while wrapping everything within an hour.

24th March, 9 pm(Special thanks to Kaushikee for making these minutes)


- Don't be a rat, be an eagle (bird's-eye view ftw!)
- Basic sources, previous year papers, self belief. Rinse and repeat for shining results.
- Maximize attempts with logical backing. The answer is right there, waiting to be found. ~ 81 questions by the second iteration.
- Decisiveness. No faltering when there's logic why I feel an option is correct.
- Mark as many possible in the 1st iteration itself.
- CSAT - no fretting about quant.
- It's a simple exam, no deliberate attempt to make an aspirant fail. Not easy, but no shadyantra going on either.
- Don't lose to fear. Equal chance of failing or making it through, so might as well give the best shot anyway.
- I'll live even if I don't clear the pre, will worry about that when it actually happens. Keep going with studies for now :)
- Cut demotivating people off.
- *Be the merchant of chaos* since it's uncertain for everyone in the exam hall, think of it as an opportunity to find a way out, not a reason to give up.
- Believe in the magic so that the magic works for me ✨

Also I can only rely on your word and goodwill to ensure that you do not indulge in sharing of the course. I'm sure you'll continue to respect the IP.

We'll keep having weekly doubt solving sessions so be rest assured, we'll get a 100% hit rate from our inaugural initiative!

Keep working hard.

Since some of you have been asking me in DMs, for a short period we're opening the window for letting you upgrade your course on payment of the differential amount. Check with @helpdeskupsc for details.

MSS Pre 23 Update:

2021 videos completed. All videos would be accessible before the EoD. Will continue with the momentum moving forward. Weekly doubt session on Saturday for enrolled students at 9PM!

Also, we've been getting a lot of requests from people who find merit in the course but for whom, finances are a constraint.

For one, I assure you, the IP is 100x more valuable that what you're paying for, something that you already see from the free 2022 videos. Secondly, if you have a genuine economic concern that you can prove, you can contact @helpdeskupsc. He'll try to find a way for you to finance.

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.

When your sibling gets to be the "Master of ceremonies"/Host for such a prestigious event. Hands down one of the most proudest moment!

Thought of sharing this with my telegram family!

For students enrolled in Sherlocking courses, we have our weekly doubt session at 9PM tonight. Request @helpdeskupsc for the meet link. See you tonight!

Slumdog millionaire questions(SMQs):

Jamal, from the famous Danny Boyle movie, becomes a millionaire, not because he was too well prepared but because he could leverage his life experiences when it mattered the most.

Having been in the cycle for so long, I have also experienced this phenomenon first hand.

But is it down to some sorcery or black magic or sleight of hand? Ofcourse, the answer is unambiguously NO!

In my personal experience, I have realised that the wider I read and the more curious I'm about the world at large, the more number of SMQs I encounter.

In the link below, here's an illustration I'm certain would add value to your life.

If anyone has made a note in today's meeting, kindly DM the minutes to me or @helpdeskupsc. TIA!
