This video is all about understanding the mains syllabus and understanding interlinkages in it. It should be an eye opener!

This video explains how notes are to be made for mains, specifically. I've shown my own process of making notes too.
Hope this helps!

Hello All!
Since Morning, I have been overwhelmed with the birthday wishes. I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for this. I was looking back over the last year and I realised how last year at this time, I was teaching and planning for my foundation course at LBSNAA. It's been a roller coaster of a year, from going to LBSNAA, to seeing so many of my students from last year make it to the final list, and to finally coming back and taking the decision to be a full time teacher. I'd just like to say that I am immensely grateful, because without the support and love that you've shown me, this would never have been possible. Thank you, for everything.

Now, as a small token of appreciation for the immense appreciation you've given me over the last year, I'd just like to announce two things.

Firstly, in the MMP+ July batch, a lot of people were asking for me to take write smart sessions live, again. Your wish, as always, is my command. I will be taking my sessions of Write Smart in MMP+ July Batch live as well.

Secondly, in the free initiative, mains ready by december, a lot of you were facing issues with regards to ethics content. By tonight, I will be uploading comprehensive notes for ethics, that will be available for all to download. Will share the link soon.

Again, I am immensly, immensly grateful for everything. Looking forward to the next year, I promise I will continue to work even harder, to ensure that my vision of quality content with affordability and free guidance can play a small part in making this challenging journey easy for you.

Thank you.

Always in your debt,
Shivin.

Hello all!
A lot of people have said that they’re facing issues with discipline and consistency. (I’m also a part of this list). I’m thinking of coming up with a regular system for this using forest and tide. So whatever questions you have with regards to this, please let me know in the comments of this post. Video will be up by tomorrow morning.

Thanks :)

Studying is boring. This is how we can maintain discipline, productivity and consistency at this time!

Deeply, deeply saddened by the gut wrenching events that have unfolded in ORN today. I hope the deceased souls find peace in heaven. My deepest condolences to the families.

I’m here.
In support of student solidarity.

Hello all.
Would just like to share a few things :

1. Nothing is more important than our safety and security. Whenever we are taking decisions, such as where to stay, where to study (in which library etc.) we must account for safety as a variable. The exam is very stressful, and we often ignore safety as a variable when taking decisions. However, that should be a primary concern. I myself used to study in a basement library with a narrow entry (in gurgaon). Despite being aware of the issues with the same, I did not take my safety seriously. Henceforth, mentally and physically, health and safety comes first.

2. We often think that we need ‘freedom’ and we wish to stay away from our home. However, we must realise that nothing can replace the safety of our homes. Our parents are our greatest well wishers. Nothing can beat the mental safety and physical nourishment of staying at our homes.

3. Let us all ensure that this movement is not politicised. Political agendas of student unions will hinder a lasting solution.

4. A huge respect to everyone who reached out for this. We might be in a competitive space, but the fact that we’re able to come together and raise issues that affect all of us shows that we’re human first.

I went to ORN in the afternoon today, to meet the students. Salute to their spirit.

Due to heavy rains in delhi right now, ORN has flooded again. Please stay safe and away from waterlogged areas. There is heavy lightening happening too, so please do not stand beneath electricity poles. Naked wires from poles are also a threat.

Please stay safe. Nothing matters more than our safety. I hope this issue gets resolved as soon as possible, but solutions to problems like this are long term. Till then, please prioritise your safety. Also, I would recommend that you call your parents once and let them know that you’re okay. It would mean a lot to them and in this tough time, it’s always better to seek refuge in the love of our family.

Had a tumultuous last week. I think all of us did. However, we also have a responsibility to ourselves and our parents to study diligently. This is your reminder (and my reminder) to study, put in as much effort as we can and focus on the tasks at hand.

I’ve not uploaded any videos on YouTube in the past week either. Tomorrow, i will be uploading a video on the role of PYQs in the Mains Examination. After that, I’ll be going subject by subject and doing a thematic analysis of every mains paper. Hope that helps.

All the best!
Have a great week ahead.

Sorry for the long absence from youtube. However, I am well and truly back!
In this video, I explain how PYQs and their analysis can become a guiding light in our mains prep.
Hope this helps 🙂

I’m turning the comments back on. Been a while since I heard from you. Thanks for being here. From now, I’ve decided to only smile at the miniscule negativity that exists here and appreciate the massive love and support I get.

In the comments of this post, let me know what content you would like to see next on youtube, I was thinking of analysing all subjects for mains with thematic and PYQ analysis.

Also, just letting you know, with the upcoming independence day, Sarrthi IAS has announced a sale on all its courses.

Happy Independence day! 🇮🇳

Hello all!
After reading your comments on the above post, I’ve decided to make a series of Mains - Subject wise strategy videos.

For example, I’ll start with a video on history. I’ll talk about the syllabus, topics to be paid attention to and the sources to refer. I’ll do a thematic PYQ analysis too, so that whenever you study history from mains perspective, you know what ground to cover.

Similarly, I’ll make videos on every subject for the mains.

Hope this helps.

In the comments of this post, you can ask me your doubts concerning history for mains. The video will be up tomorrow morning.

Thanks :)

This Video Talks about history for mains in detail.
Analysis of PYQs, Important Topics and How I make notes.
Hope this helps!

In this manner, i will be dealing with every subject of the mains!
