Nice summary.
As I always say,
"Control the Controllables"✅

Natural corollary to this is,
"Minimise the Uncontrollables"
With Triple Approach of:
1. Non-negotiables,
2. Pattern to Randomness
3. SkeletonKey

Got 2 messages.
(Big learnings here hence sharing)
1. One was asking for my active recall questions of modern India.
2. Second was saying I uploaded spectrum to chatgpt, asked it to identify topics for mains and frame me the answers using historians, arguments value addition etc.

Both ways will not yield results AT ALL!!! Because when you yourself spend time with material, read paragraphs, identify questions, think about the content, establish linkages across pages, plan where you will write it and when, that's where GENUINE learning lies.

Readymade things may ease up your efforts but will eventually u will lack ability to puke or recall or place the content at right moment and right place.
Good Luck 🤞

"Force in the wrong direction creates pressure, not progress."
The same applies to UPSC preparation.Solving 10,000 irrelevant, "GHAR SE BANE SAWAL"won’t help you clear the exam.What works is focusing on "UPSC Ke SAWAL"

How?
"That is exactly what we cover in our course.”

Question: Which content to remember which to skip?
Answer: "TRIPLE FILTER TEST"
1. Topic in syllabus?
2. Can answer pyq?
3. Can you remember it till last?

Any thing that seeps thru all the 3 sieves. Should be done. The rest should be dumped!!
Those who know, they know SkeletonKey is nothing but list of such tests😁
@nfu_official

Sometimes, you don't realize what you're missing until you witness it firsthand.

When results fall short of your hard work, it's tempting to blame the effort itself.

But the real issue isn't magnitude or quantity of efforts, it's the direction and the quality.

We're here to channel your energy straight to victory!

2 things will certainly happen
1. If, you follow non negotiables, you will clear CSE
2. If, you follow everything, you will clear IFoS.

Not a single doubt about it. We are not only clearing forest, but clearing forest with 15 extra marks.

It is not a guarantee but a time tested planning and strategy!!!
Rest, होगी वही जो राम रची रखा 😌

Happy New Year 2026 to all.
May God bless all of us with physical, mental and emotional well-being 😇

Earth's revolution did its job, to change the calendar, NOW IT'S YOUR JOB, to change your decisions, your mindset and eventually your lifestyle!!
Good Luck 🤞
Team NFU

Those asking when sessions will be done, only dates of tests are mentioned.

All you need to know and Booster Sessions will be pre-recorded and made available before the test.

Very close to 100.
Portal will automatically restore 3999/- price.
No negotiations/exceptions post that.

Question: I am not eligible for IFoS. Why do I need to care for forest cut off?

Answer: Ambiguity in at least 5-6 answers of UPSC key. Hence, only marks equivalent of forest cutoff can assure you of CSE Mains appearance!!!!

THE NFU WAY: NY Resolution
❌ No more random & irrelevant mocks
📚 Direction over volume: No bulky 1000-pager notes.
🧠 Active recall & Differential learning of only standard books
📖 PYQs lead the way = My Geeta / Bible / Quran for Prelims/Mains/Interview
