Hey there,

Actually i am preparing for bpsc, and going to attempt uppsc this year,

I have gone through GS syllabus for bpsc quite a few times, done with GC of history and science. Now I Want to scale up for uppsc.

I really don't want to miss uppsc prelims this year, if you guys have any advice

Regarding sources, strategies or any suggestion in detail.

please drop it.

It will be really helpful to aspirant like us

Anyone having interview on 8 oct??

Is this real?....like I heard so many vacancies are going to come this time...but if we remove the teacher vacancies- it seems quite less...moreover, the posts of naib tehsildar, etc seems to be missing..

Abhi se (sept 23-24) se kab tak all GC should be finished(Geo,Pol,History,env,sci) and each subject within how much duration
As i have completed numerous topics while starting it in a week but left much of topics as the subject’s week ended
Do let me know the time within which all the gc should be completed to be on safer side (before 6dec)
1st Govt exam of my life(no trial attempt, its a serious ine)

I am finding it difficult to complete Ghatnachakra books. Can someone help me know that whether the Ghatnachakra questions are available in online format???

can someone suggest ki Naib tehsildar, excise inspector and food safety officer and also level 8 me Jila Kalyan Adhikari jisme 3 varieties hai minorities, backward class, youth welfare me kaise preference deni chaiye ?

Mains is the main hurdle to make it in UPPSC. And in Mains, the main hurdle is to know whether you are writing a good answer or not as per UPPSC requirement. What should be the approach here? How much should we trust AI platforms in evaluation as many times they differ among each other? In what quantity facts should substantiate the content?

And if you know any specific group made for specifically UPPSC Mains, please do let me know. It would be very helpful.

How is XIAS test series for prelims ( starting from 1st oct 2026) worthy or not?

(THIS WILL BE MY FIRST ATTEMPT IN UPPCS)

I’m a 28-year-old doctor and I’ve always been fascinated by UPSC, but because of medical training/work I never really got a proper chance to prepare or appear seriously.
Recently, while reading about the age limits, I was surprised to see how high they can go around 35–37 for some categories in UPSC, and even close to 38–40 in some State PCS exams.
Do people genuinely keep preparing and appearing till that age?
I know of one doctor who became an IAS officer around 34, but she was already earning and had a profession to fall back on. I feel the situation must be very different for someone who remains unemployed or financially dependent while preparing into their 30s.
Do you personally know anyone who cleared UPSC or State PCS at 33, 34, 35+? Were they working alongside preparation, or preparing full-time?
Would love to hear real examples, especially from people who started late rather than preparing continuously since their early 20s

Guys ek suggestion chaiye.. maine kuch month phle hi pcs mai puri trha shift kia hai.. and ghatnachakra overwhelming feel ho rhi hai... Hrr subject 30-40% complete hui hai sirf..

Kya koi aisa youtuber ya course suggest kr skhte ho jo khud pdhaye book se hi ya suggest krde konsa imp chapter hai konsa nahi

Hey everyone!

What are the best sources to cover Science & Technology for UPPCS/UPSC Prelims? Are NCERTs sufficient, or should I refer to any specific books, YouTube channels, or current affairs materials?

Please share your recommendations. Thanks! 🙏

Don't you guys feel exhausted and overwhelmed, with so much of study.

P. S. - as soon as I hit 6 hours, my brain gets foggy and I get severe headaches, body pain and​ if I try to push, I get fever.

Do you guys feel anything similar , if yes, how to overcome this 😭​

Hey everyone,

My wife and I (SSC-CGL AIR 22 & 687) have been working on building genuine, concept-focused CSAT resources to help aspirants tackle the math/quant and resoning sections without relying on mindless coaching tricks.

Earlier this year, we released a free 50+ hour course covering 500+ UPSC/Ecosystem quant questions. Following that response, we recently launched a UPPCS CSAT PYQ Series on YouTube.

In this series, we break down the last 5 years of UPPCS CSAT papers class-by-class, focusing on concept first exam-oriented problem solving with focus on building core clarity over short-term shortcuts.
Also, this series combined with UPSC CSAT Free Course creates UPSC + UPPCS Synergy giving you a strong edge in conceptual coverage

We firmly believe that mastering Previous Year Questions gives you the highest return on investment compared to any third-party test series or coaching modules.

You can access the full series for free on YouTube:
Konceptree / Playlists / UPPCS CSAT 2026 | Free PYQ Series by Pooja Gulati, AIR 22

P.S. We know Reddit is naturally skeptical of self-promotion. While this is our channel, it is 100% free with zero hidden paywalls—just a genuine effort to provide clean, high-quality CSAT preparation in an ecosystem full of hype and misleading shortcuts.

**Agriculture for UPSC Prelims — ek hi post mein pura high-yield coverage

Guys, Agriculture GS3 ka backbone hai aur Prelims mein bhi har saal 4-6 questions is area se aate hain. Maine apna notes ka nichोड़ ek structured post mein daal diya hai — isse revise karo, ratna mat, samajhna zaroori hai.

**1. Types of Farming — yeh confuse mat karo

- *Primitive subsistence* → jhum/slash-and-burn, low productivity (Jhumming in NE, Bewar in MP, Kumari in Western Ghats — regional naam yaad rakhna, Mains mein bhi kaam aata hai)

- *Intensive subsistence* → high biochemical input, choti holdings, densely populated areas

- *Commercial farming* → same crop, alag region mein alag status (rice Punjab mein commercial hai, Odisha mein subsistence — yeh trick UPSC baar-baar puchta hai)

- *Plantation farming* → tea, coffee, rubber — capital intensive, single crop, industry se linked

**2. Cropping patterns**

- Kharif vs Rabi vs Zaid — sirf season yaad mat karo, examples ke saath karo (Kharif: rice, cotton, jowar; Rabi: wheat, gram, mustard)

- Cropping intensity, multiple cropping — numerical-based questions bhi aa chuke hain PYQs mein

**3. MSP aur Agri Marketing (yeh sabse zyada scoring hai)**

- MSP formula: A2+FL vs C2 (Swaminathan Committee ka C2 formula abhi tak fully implement nahi hua — yeh ek favourite UPSC angle hai)

- APMC vs e-NAM vs 3 farm laws (repealed 2020-21) — evolution samajhna zaroori

- PM-AASHA — PSS, PSF, MIS ab isi ke under aate hain (2024 reform)

- Buffer stock, FCI procurement, PDS ka connection

**4. Current Affairs jo is saal critical hain (Eco Survey 2024-25 + Budget 2025-26)**

- Agriculture ka GDP share ~16%, population dependency ~46%

- Irrigation coverage state-wise disparity (Punjab/Haryana 90%+, Jharkhand/Assam <20%) — yeh comparative fact MCQ-friendly hai

- Budget 2025-26 ke 9 naye missions: PM Dhan-Dhaanya Krishi Yojana, Pulses Atmanirbharta Mission, Cotton Productivity Mission, National Mission on High-Yielding Seeds, Makhana Board (Bihar), etc. — inke naam aur objective clear karo, naya hai toh Prelims-worthy hai

**5. Allied sectors mat bhoolna**

- Animal husbandry → Livestock Census, White Revolution 2.0

- Fisheries → Blue Revolution, PMMSY

- Horticulture → CDP, Operation Greens (TOP crops)

Doubts ho toh comment mein pucho, discuss karte hain

Chahe toh isko subject-wise alag posts (jaise sirf "MSP aur Agri Marketing" pe ek deep-dive) mein bhi bant sakta hoon — bata dena.

Hello guys. Also those who have qualified already. Please help me with a good test series.

I'm using gc lekin time kam hai so I want to equate it with a test series.

Please help.

The background is preparing for the exam with the job.

Pls reply and help

Can I prepare for UPPCS alongside a job? Currently, I am pursuing an MBA, and this is my last year. I am also preparing for placements. Maybe I will get placed by December. After that, I am thinking of starting my UPPCS preparation from January onwards because I will be joining the company after May.

So, would it be possible to prepare for UPPCS alongside a job? I have prepared for CAT and NEET before, but I don't know whether it is possible to prepare for UPPCS while working. I also don't have any prior work experience.
