This is a very serious post for all of you. I want every serious aspirant of the upsc cse exam to go through it. It is important so that you don't end up making blunders in the rush of emotions.

See generally after a result that has not gone in our favour, we start second guessing ourselves & the things that we did.
This is because of 2 reasons
1. The things that we did, didn't work for us because we didn't clear.
2. We don't know what worked for those who cleared.

This post will help you bridge both these gaps.
So, right after the results, i started getting messages from my students. Now obviously I couldn't reply to everyone because the number was in thousands.
I sat all night after the live session, replied to as many as i could and the messages can be classified into two parts.
1. Sir I cleared and the things that I did especially MAD/YPLP/mapping/Csat lectures/ HYrise were the most important contributions in me clearing the prelims exam
2. Sir I couldn't clear but things like MAD/YPLP/Hyrise/csat lectures/mapping series were the most important contributions in me increasing my score in the prelims exam.

Obviously I am not in the screenshot business but to get an objective data, I asked the people who cleared prelims this year to tell what all helped them.
I'll give you one example
You'll be amazed to know that more than 76% of the students who cleared this year's prelims said that MAD helped them and that they benefitted from it.
Similarly, such high percentages came for YPLP(where we did multiple rounds of revisions and tests), CSAT lectures (by me, and other csat mentors), mapping series.

The point that you need to take home from here is that
Prelims is a game of 5 things
1. Knowledge (that is y we directed YPLP, mapping, economy series, current affairs series, hyrise all towards knowledge)
2. MCQ solving abilities (for which we had MAD)
3. CSAt (we had lectures on RCs, quant, PYQs)
4. execution
5. luck.
Now, for anyone who worked on the initial three things nicely, it's just a matter of luck and execution.

Jinka clear hua, unke liye ye paancho cheezein kaam kar gayi. Jinka nahi hua, unke liye inn paancho me se koi ek bigad gaya.
That's it.
That's the end of story.

Now you have to put aside your emotions and feelings and rationally think and analyse.
Do you need a sudden immense course correction or do you want to trust yourself and the fact that what you did was right because people who cleared, did the same!

Maine Live me bhi bola tha "You don't make major decisions when you are suffering through a loss."

Isiliye, please, khudko aur khudki cheezon ko doubt karna band kariye, coz the people who have cleared have also done the same thing.
Pick up your weapons and let's begin another round of fighting.

P.S. : Another data from the same form is that nearly 70% of people who cleared prelims have cleared it for the first time ever. 70% people have gotten a chance to write their first mains.
Do u understand what this means?
These 70% people were in the exact same position where you are today.
I will say no more.
& leave the rest up to the wisdom of my dear aspirants.
But if you want to go ahead, let's do it together.

Data 1

Data 2

People who are writing mains this year and who filled this form yesterday, kindly check your emails, spam folders to get the link of the mains appearing group.

If you for some reason donot find the email, kindly send your admit cards at @usstudenthelpline and write "cleared mains" and you'll get the link post verification.
Do it ASAP.

This form and post doesn't apply to students of the conquer batch.

This strategy is given by someone who has scored 111&108 in GS1 paper of CSE mains consecutively.

With this we begin the mains plan for the next 6 months.
You'll get your daily targets starting tomorrow.

Hello everyone
A very good evening
Hope all the students are doing well.

This is the thousandth message of this channel

We have been getting queries regarding the CONQUER program and how much is done and what is the plan, going ahead.
So addressing that in this message :

1. We have separated the plans for people who want to prepare for mains in a fast paced manner(till September end) and who want to prepare it till December end along with notes making.

2. Daily Questions (including PYQs and questions from Toppers' booklet) are given to write in both the plans.
Along with the model answers for PYQs, discussion videos explaining not just the content but also the skill and thinking pattern behind answer writing is given.
I have already discussed nearly 50+ questions in the program

3. Current affairs sessions have been started in the conquer program along with subject wise notes compilations

4. Flash sessions have started for Speed development and quick thinking

5. Essay sessions have started

6. We have additionally added the following deliverables :
- Subject wise notes for revision made by the US team.
- 100+ Questions & Model Answers from Current and Contemporary affairs from GS1,2,3 based on UPSC PYQ Trends.
- Paper wise & theme wise value additions will be provided for GS2&3 especially.
- We have given access to the HYRISE program, it's lectures and content within conquer itself.

We will also conduct FLTs for each paper. Ex : The GS1 FLT will be conducted in the upcoming week.

For people who are joining late, if you are going to follow the 6 month plan, you are not at all late, we are starting Modern History tomorrow.
+ Recordings of each n every lecture is provided
And for people who want to follow the 3 month plan, we are just done with history and geography. You can start from society with US and cover history and geography through the recorded videos.

What is not included in the program?

- Evaluation of answers

We are trying to deliver as much as we can in this program to help you in every way to prepare for mains.
We might not be perfect in executing and delivering everything and might make 1% errors but will make sure that you feel that the program has been worth your investment. Thousand percent!!

P.S. : Anyone who wants to prepare a bit in a manner where u get enough time to read all the standard books again + have a mentor and a peer group yet prepare for mains simultaneously can access the TRANSFORM program where you will get access to the CONQUER deliverables also (integrated in the plan)

A heartbreaking and shocker of an accident.

A few days ago in Patel nagar
And now in the heart of UPSC prep in Karol bagh..
Students from far flung areas come to this city, live in tiny rat-holes called rooms, go to libraries to focus, spend not just loads of money but their days n nights working hard.

To what end? This!
This unfortunate disaster.
This absolute misfortunate catastrophe!!!!

This is not what they deserve.
This is not what their parents deserve.
This is not what aspirants deserve.

Blame games, responsibility shifting, mud throwing, opportunity grabbing, hue n cry sab ho jaega ab. Sab!!!

Par jo ye ho gaya h
Jinki jaan chali gayi h
Ya jinki jaan ja sakti thi, maybe seconds and inches se bach gayi h
Unka koi kya kar lega ab..
Bhooliye mat vo aapki meri tarah aspirants hi the, hum me se hi ek

My heart, my tears, my condolences, my prayers go out to all those whose lives were lost, to their parents n their family 🙏

Please jo bhi baaki log h, safe rahiye, apne flats apartments PGs me rahiye, precautions lijiye, caution exercise kariye, guidelines follow kariye.
Aapki Jaan se badhke to iss duniya me kuch bhi nahi h, let alone this exam.

Om Shanti!
Absolutely heartbroken n shattered by this news!

Hello everyone,

Students are gathering today in ORN to pay their respect and homage to the fellow aspirants who lost their lives in this tragic unfortunate accident. I think this is a right and moral thing to do.

I am traveling from my hometown and I will be there by evening today to pay my respects to my fellow aspirants and students.🙏
If you can, then please try visiting the place to pay your homage.

Baaki sab baatein baadme h. Mere liye bas ye baat sabse ahm hai ki vo hum me se hi the aur unki jagah easily hum ho sakte the.

Also, wanted to say something and I hope it is taken in the right spirits : This is a request and a call to anybody who is there, at the forefront of this issue, if I could be of any assistance, any assistance at all : be it through goods, logistics, legal or financial, i commit myself to this cause and i will do everything in my ability and capacity to assist.
Please reach out to me @J_Satyam

Baaki me vahi baat repeat karunga, please safe rahiyega. Kuch log jo uss point pe h, please don't give anybody an excuse to harm you.
I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
Please stay safe.
🙏🙏

Students are being manhandled by the police officers.
Please don't give anybody the minutest excuse to harm you.
Keep it peaceful.
Don't engage in direct confrontations and exchanges.
Stay together, stay put, stay united.

: I'll be there in 20 minutes (sorry late ho raha hai coz borders bahut jagah sealed hai due to kavad yatra. Trying my best. On my way.)

Immense Respect for Student Ekta!!
Reach ORN!!

Despite huge barricades and security
Students gathered for the right cause!!
Immense Respect!!
Please reach the location posted above to pay homage

Raat k 12 baje jalti ye sirf candle lights nahi h. This is the last hope that maybe someday when the right people will reach into the administration, they will do the right thing.
Taaki fir kabhi ye issues k chalte parents ko, aspirants ko apno ki laashein na dekhni pade.
भावपूर्ण श्रद्धांजलि!!🙏

Hello everyone,
There are few things which are absolutely Important for students, especially those who are on the ground with us

1. Don't let the movement slip into the hands of student political unions. This is an aspirant movement and it should remain the same.
Yesterday we saw how student political unions were trying to push their agendas. We spent hours yesterday trying to prevent this from happening.
The thing that is worrisome here is that they will take the movement on a different path altogether, maybe even try to make it violent, or say things like "Bharat mata ki jai ke naare kyun laga rahe ho". These things will disperse the movement.
The solution is to keep the movement together at that very spot, keep it nonviolent and keep the right demands.
Student political unions ko agar involve hona bhi h to sirf aspirants k sath khade hone k liye ho.

2. Please take care of yourself and your fellow aspirants. Jo aapki barabar me baitha hai vo bhi vahan isiliye h kyuki vo isme vishwas karta hai. Carry a water bottle with you. Though we will try to arrange, but for immediate purpose, carry one.

3. Salute & respect to each and every student who reached out, sat there and also to the ones who supported the movement online.
Yaad rakhiye aap iss baat se jaane jaate h ki aapne sahi waqt par sahi jagah hokar apni presence register karayi ki nahi.

4. Koi kuch bhi differences ho students k beech kitna bhi competition ho, but it is the most reassuring thing to see that for larger issues & for greater concerns, almost everyone came together. And i will always remember this unity till my last breath.
