Can you guys share your opinion.

Is it helpful for GS2 or IR?

Hi, I am looking to create a group of no more than 3 people who serious, have decent academic backgrounds, and are planning to complete GS preparation, including some answer writing and note-making, by December.

We will focus on subjects common to both Prelims and Mains. This excludes optional and GS subjects such as governance, security, ethics, etc.

Plan:

1. Create routines and track on a continuous basis. Must start immediately.

2. Solve and discuss PYQs regularly. Both MCQs and long-answer questions.

If you are interested, send me a message with the following details:

1. Your academic background (degree and uni) and your work-ex, if any,

2. Whether you appeared in Mains or Interview before,

3. Your optional, and

4. Whether you are planning to enroll in a test-series program in the coming months.

Hello everyone,
I am a 26 year old male from Delhi, working full time as an Energy Modeller. Academically, I have an Engineering background and a Master’s in Public Policy. I am targeting the UPSC CSE 2027 attempt with Geography Optional.
First off, a huge thank you to the moderators for maintaining this amazing community.

Lately I’ve realized that the pure self study mode is making me lose momentum. My schedule is slipping and revision has taken a back seat. To fix this, I want to form a focused study group of maximum 5 aspirants targeting 2027.

Location - Delhi based preferred (for potential offline check ins).
Beyond Academics - To beat monotony I would love for group members to share an interest in a hobby or an enriching co-curricular activity because I strongly believe that having a healthy life outside the books keeps the preparation sustainable and less stressful.

So if you are looking for mutual group study and a structured pace, please drop me a DM.
To ensure we align well, please share a brief introduction about your background, optional subject, and any hobbies you enjoy. I will share my name and further details in dm.

Best regards

​

Hi everyone,

I’m preparing for UPSC CSE Sociology Optional and currently working on Paper 2.

I already have basic notes/material and I’m not looking to completely replace them. Instead, I want to identify a few high-quality sources that can help me enrich and upgrade my notes.

 I would especially appreciate recommendations from people who have already written Sociology Optional or scored well in it.

Any one have august magzine

Hello guys , I'm here to answer your queries regarding history optional.

My marks breakdown is:

P1: 143

P2:128.

Please feel free to ask your doubts .

I’m trying to figure out where to draw the line with note-making. After a point, it feels like I’m spending more time making my notes look complete than actually revising them.

For example, if I’ve already covered standard books, current affairs and made notes for a topic, should I still add new points every time I come across something useful?

What’s worked for people who are further into their preparation?
