Please help.... Time is nearing.

I'm willing to buy for mains 2026. I'm not sure at what time it starts and how it continues.. before selling please let me know about that.

I need advice on a few matters

​

1. Which test series to pick for mains 2026 for GS

​

2. I completed my anthro optional notes making, revision and PYQs analysis 3.5 years ago. At that time I was thorough. But in last 3 years I haven't revised much.

​

So are there any noticeable changes in anthro optional approach and if so how to approach it now within minimal timeline. ( I took sosin classes)

​

3. How easy are language papers. And are there anyone who got disqualified by ignoring it.

Anyone here who has written mains or reached till interview stage or selected to a service.

​

Do I need to apply new OBC certificate for mains too like prelims?

​

Cuz OBC certificate for prelims is valid till that financial year only. Do they ask new one again for mains too?

Any test series or mentorship program for anthro optional for 2026 mains. I have completed the syllabus and done revision but it was long long ago like 2 years back.

​

So any advice?

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone out there quit UPSC after putting in a lot of effort and years, maybe even sacrificing their career, but then still managed to land a good job or find something really meaningful to do?

Specifically, I'm thinking about folks with a tech degree who took a break for about 5 or 6 years.

Does anyone have CSAT quick revision notes for maths and reasoning apart from RC, which has important formulae, techniques and shortcuts along with mocks questions (about 10 to 20 with answers).

Any PDF would be helpful. Thanks
