Hi, pls share if you have any Forum coupon codes. I want to purchase MGP and cannot afford to pay that much. I somehow gathered some amount, but a coupon code would be a really big help!

Thank you so much!

Hi, little bit about me:

I have given my first attempt in 2026 with basic prep and with absolutely no mains preparation. Naturally, my syllabus completion is not yet done.

I'm not clearing this year's prelims. I'm aiming for 2027. Could you pls help me sort my sources??

I'm looking for: 360° degree mains prep and I do not want to risk this time by experimenting.

I want mains-oriented syllabus coverage through classes, notes and answer writing...

Do you guys have any suggestions of such courses??

Pls help!

Hi everyone,

I appeared for the 2026 Prelims first time with basic preparation and couldn't clear it. 2027 was what i was aiming for. For the 2027 attempt, I want to prepare seriously and give it my best.

My Mains preparation is still incomplete. I haven't covered the full GS Mains syllabus properly, haven't made notes, haven't done any answer writing yet.

My optional prep is mostly done, and I'm quite comfortable with it now. Could you please suggest good GS Mains courses (classes + test series)?

I'd really appreciate your suggestions. It's a bit urgent.

Thank you!

Hi guys,

I'm moving to Delhi after the 2026 Prelims failure. I wanna restart.

A bit about me:

Graduated in 2025 (humanities), and have been doing self-study since June 2025. Gave my first Prelims in 2026 and it didn't go the way I wanted. I felt a change of environment might help, so I've decided to shift to Delhi.

I'll be staying in West Patel Nagar and planning to join Forum MGP. If you've taken any Mains-oriented classes that genuinely helped in the actual Mains, please suggest them as well.

I'm pretty introverted and mostly like being on my own, but I don't mind having 1-2 friends (good company with boundaries).

Do you think moving to Delhi is the right call? Anything I should be careful about while living and preparing there?

Thanks :)

I started my UPSC CSE preparation seriously from February 2026. I am currently 24 years old, and 2026 was my first attempt. Unfortunately, I could not clear Prelims.

So far, I have covered:

1). Polity from M. Laxmikanth

2). Geography NCERTs

3). Ancient and Medieval History from Abhishek Srivastava’s YouTube lectures

4). Modern History from Spectrum

5). Economics from Vivek Singh

However, I do not have proper notes for any subject except Ancient and Medieval History.

Now I want to go all in for UPSC CSE 2027. I do not want to join a full-fledged foundation course because I feel I can study the subjects on my own if I get proper direction and structure. If I find any topic difficult, I can use YouTube, Google, AI tools, or standard resources to understand it.

What I mainly need is:

Proper guidance regarding what to study and what to avoid

Subject-wise direction for Prelims + Mains

Clarity on important topics and PYQ-oriented preparation

Guidance regarding answer writing and note-making

A realistic preparation strategy for 2027

I am currently thinking of joining the NEXT IAS AIM Mentorship Program 2027. I am currently confused about what my next step should be. Should I join a mentorship program/test series instead of a foundation course? How should I rebuild my preparation from here considering I already have some basic coverage but weak revision and notes?

Any genuine guidance from experienced aspirants or mentors would really help 🩶

I don't live in Delhi. I can't buy it from any photocopy shop. I joined a telegram channel and now it's taken down. I need them urgently. Can someone pls share some recent FLTs conducted by vajiram, forum, next ias, vision? Both GS and CSAT.

It'd be a great help! Thank you so much in advance:)

I haven't touched them so far. It took me this much time to cover static. Please help:)
