In the last 12 years, UPSC has asked 14 types of MCQs in the Prelims. This video analyses all those 14 types of MCQs and talks about how this information can be used to study better!

The mains results are out. Congratulations to those who made it. To those who didn't, I'm sure this is a tough and daunting time. Mains takes a lot of effort and this is not an easy thing to go through. I've been in this position myself in 2021, and I understand that not a lot can make you feel better at this time. All I would say is, spend this time with your family and friends, don't take decisions in haste. If you decide to stay in this cycle, you would be in one of the best positions to make it next year. If you decide to exit the cycle, god speed and best wishes. Here to help.
To all, treat this time with humility and grace.

yours,
Shivin.

The mains results, and a conversation.

For those who did make it :

For the interview stage, the often ignored thing is how to fill and how to study the DAF. This is what we will be focusing on. Me, Varun sir and Mudit Sir are creating a group for Interview Preparation.

Hello All!
As we approach the interview stage, we are starting our interview guidance program.
This Program is divided into 3 phases, as per the demand of the exam.

Step 1 : Filling the DAF.
Here, we will have one on one and group sessions on how to fill the DAF. This is the key step in our interview preparation, as a lot of questions get asked from the DAF. I along with Varun Jain sir will be taking these sessions.

Step 2 : Preparing for the personality test.
This is the area which is often ignored. Here we will be focusing on preparing the likely questions on our DAF and reading relevant current affairs.
Here, we will be having 1 on 1 DAF sessions in both offline and online mode, Daily and Weekly Current Affairs sessions and Sessions by senior civil servants on how to prepare for the Interview.

The first such session will be taken by Shri Navneet Wasan, (IPS retd) Former UPSC Panel Member and ex- Special Director, National Investigation Agency. He will be speaking on what are the expectations of the UPSC interview board. This will be an offline interactive session.

Step 3 : Online Mock Interviews with Current and Former Civil Servants.

Here, we will have instant feedback, as well as recordings of the sessions and an approximation of marks.

We've tried to design a one stop solution for the interview, the same way we had done for the Mains Examination.

1. Filling Service Preferences
2. Filling Cadre
3. Filling Section 7 (extracurriculars, leadership, achievement, sports)

I will be conducting this session. See you there!

This mains exam was my first time teaching as a full time teacher. I kid you not, it was full of sleepless nights and tense days. It took everything. But, as is often the case, Hardword does pay off. Proud of all of you who made this possible.
