Announcement!
As I am going to LBSNAA from 1st August, the Civil Service Conduct Rules will start to Apply. In accordance with the rules, I cannot actively allow admissions in my courses for 2023 and 2024. 25th July is the day I will be taking my last live class. Hence, on 25th July 2023, all my courses (Science and Tech / Environment / GS3 / Write Smart) for 2023 and 2024 will be delisted and admissions will be stopped. If you are already in any of these, you will continue to have access to the recorded lectures till the course validity. Thank you.

A note of gratitude, for all of you. Thank you for everything.

Tomorrow morning, I will upload a video on changes to be made for CSE 2024. In the comments of this post, please write whatever questions you have regarding this topic. Please stay limited to the topic at hand, its easier to compile.

Hello all!
Tomorrow morning, I will be uploading GS3 strategy video. Will try to answer all the doubts and questions related to GS3. Please write your questions (strictly limited to gs3) in the comments of this post. Thank you.

PS : as some of you may know, I am teaching a GS3 course. However, this video will strictly be related to self study. It is being made for people who want to prepare by themselves. No mention of the course will be there.

Thank you guys so so much for the birthday wishes. As I look back on the past year, other than the exam and the results, building this huge community and connecting with all of you has been the greatest gift I could’ve received.

From honestly speaking the truth on YouTube to getting the opportunity to teach and fulfill my passion has been nothing short of a dream come true.

This coming week is the last one where I teach and I will fondly miss all of you and the fun that we’ve had in classes. (Justice for blue eyes, though).

Nevertheless, the YouTube videos will continue and I plan to hold a meetup before I go to LBSNAA. Thank you guys for everything!


Ps : GS3 video will be up tomorrow.

GS 3 for UPSC Mains : Busting Myths and Misconceptions!

Hello!
I have been conducting Answer writing sessions for the SFG for mains 2023. If you wish to, you can see the recording of these sessions from these links. The links are unlisted, so you wont be able to find this on youtube but you can access the videos from the links here. These videos will give you an idea about how to breakdown questions and structure your answers.

What I do here is I evaluate an answer sheet live and show what improvements can be made. Check it out!

Today was the last class that I had to take of the write smart course. (GS4 will be continued by Varun sir).
This course was one where I had to explore unchartered territory and design something that was completely new and different from what already existed in the market.
I have thoroughly enjoyed the innovation and the brainstorming that we all did during these past 2 months. I am really indebted to all of you for your support and being with me for this journey. I have learned so much from all of you and from your experiences, comments, appreciation and constructive criticism.

I hope I have been able to positively contribute to your UPSC journey and teach you to not only write without fear but also think without fear. The endeavor was that the fomo for mains is removed and we can learn how to think as well as structure our notes in the same way that the exam demands, with the help of PYQs. A huge, huge thank you to all of you for being with me and encouraging me always. My journey of teaching might be ending soon, but my engagement with this community will not. Thank you guys, I could not have asked for a better community.

Regards and Love,
Shivin :)

PS : please leave a comment here sharing your experience of the last two months, would love to read it :)

Hello all!
Apparently many fake instagram profiles of this year’s UPSC toppers have been created and the people who have created these fake IDs have been asking for money through DMs.
Many of my batchmates have had this issue.

Here, I’m posting a link to my instagram profile. This is the ONLY one I use. Also, rest assured, I will NOT ask you for money :P
