Condensed PT doc including latest updates, could be revised within 15 mins!

This is the document I created from S&T PT last time.

A document like this is all you need.

If you notice carefully, it is not bloated with facts that are anyway logical and it strictly contains trivia that is in line with PYQ Analysis.

I was able to create this doc from the PT in 4-5hrs. Truth be told, that’s all the time you need for those magazines.

Use this for your reference, hopefully I’ll create a similar doc after PT for this year comes out!

When it is not meant to be, it is not meant to be:

Missed the cutoff by 13 marks.

128 in Essay, 121 in Ethics(atleast we have that figured out now hopefully) and 258 in Optional(Physics) in an year when it was butchered. Plus 182 in Interview, can't be disappointed with that either.

Hopefully will try to turn it around one last time with your love and support!

My sister got 972 total, Great marks in Essay (132), GS (420+) but optional (Mathematics) slightly pulled down(235, down from 260 last year). Getting 184 in Chaubey sir's board is no easy feat either.

If only we knew about the science subject jumlebaazi before. Anyway, the community will get all the tools post Prelims from our experience.

If time permits, I'll try to come up with a similar handholding Sherlocking Mains Module too!

Overview> In-depth knowledge in Prelims.

Instead of having detailed know how of dynasties(which is unfortunately not possible given the constraints of memory), an overarching location and chronology is more effective.

Here's the best video I came across. Watch this everyday twice and this will give you good enough peripheral knowledge!

TF was that!

Are we going to see the Gen Cat cutoff hover in 70s for the first time! Can’t be ruled out. Idk what apart from Sherlocking could have helped someone.

But this is always a game of odds. Can’t be sure of anything.

Also, don't forget to ask for your 20% discount if you're enrolled in Sherlocking GS or GS+Heuristics or GS+Heuristics+CSAT!

Course Update:

Earlier, the validity that was being provided to the students was time bound.

After a lot of requests and further introspection, we’ve decided to extend the validity of all the courses indefinitely!

This simply means that once you enroll in a course, the videos are yours to watch till the end of time.

The only expectation I would have of you is to respect the hard earned IP and the work that has gone in the background. I’m sure the Parshurama-Karna story would show us the way!

Hopefully moving forward, we’ll continue to design similar modules which focus on processes that would optimise your chance in this Russian Roulette of an examination!

Life could change in a week!

IFoS Interview concluded but it was as if I was a passenger in my own vehicle with no driver.

From missing the cutoff in CSE narrowly, to the massacre that was Prelims and now this, fate is sometimes brutal!

Hopefully Almighty always figures out a way whenever one hits a cul-de-sac!

Anyway, we'll resume what we left really shortly.

Index posts consolidated. I'm certain this ardous task of organising this information will pay significant dividends for all of you.

Go through rest of the texts too on the channel as most of the FAQs have been addressed here.
Essay Course:

The lecture series has 6 lectures covering the basics plus discussion of 17 of my essays written over the past 5 attempts showing the improvement and execution of principles on the ground!

Just like all of our modules, this one also has a weekly/biweekly meet up component!

Speak with @helpdeskupsc for onboarding details!

PS: Also, don't forget to ask for your 20% discount if you're enrolled in Sherlocking GS or GS+Heuristics or GS+Heuristics+CSAT!

Getting started with Mains, a lot of principles remain the same.

Disclaimer:

This is an elaborate version of my transcript for the Indian Forest Services Interview conducted by UPSC. It's my belief that the devil lies in the detail. Transcript should not merely be used as a question bank but to gain a bird's eye view on the overall interview process. Information is the real currency in any field, thus it's my endeavour to provide as detailed info as possible which can put the nerves of future candidates at ease.

Day Begins:

While you enter the premises of UPSC, an attendance sheet is signed. One can know their 'order' in their panel based on that list. I knew I was the 'first' candidate in my board for a 'second' time in 'three' months. Entry at around 9AM, then biometric and a photograph taken after submission of electronic devices inside the Interview building. Document Verification done and documents returned by 9.45AM. I was called to the room at around 9:55AM and was told to remove the mask by the assisting staff before leaving the waiting room. I travel nearly 30m to arrive at the destination, sat down and waited outside. Tried to deep breathe and train my voice but no respite due to nervousness. A lady member walks in the room, and I try to place her identity inside my head because I could vaguely recollect her face. I'm called in within the next 3 mins!
