Looking for people from the Mechanical branch preparing for the exam. Thinking of creating a Telegram group where we can discuss doubts and share resources

Asking for a friend.

CUET PG Sociology score: 248.

Got admission offer for TISS Development Studies. Based on previous trends, will likely get BHU Sociology as well, and there may be some chances of getting DU.

The main goal is UPSC CSE preparation, with a master's degree as a backup and for academic enrichment.

Certainly DU has an edge if allotted.

The real dilemma is: TISS Development Studies vs BHU Sociology for someone whose primary goal is UPSC CSE preparation

Failed Prelims 2026 (1st attempt).

​

Did Anthropology foundation last year but haven't done much GS Mains prep yet. Looking to join a Mains program and confused between:

​

1. Saarthi MMP+ (Starts 1 July) – Great faculty, but have seen mixed reviews regarding GS2 coverage and alignment with write smart and LAWS.

​

2. Understand UPSC Conquer Mains (Starts 7 July) – Offline is a plus. Saw Satyam Jain's orientation where he mentioned he would personally teach the subjects he feels strongest in.... not much clarity about other faculties.

​

3. LevelUp MMP (Starts end of August) – Comfortable with LevelUp, but the late start is bothering me as I want a structured schedule now.

​

I guess many of the more established coachings don't really have a dedicated Mains-specific program at this stage, which is why I'm looking at these options.

​

Would appreciate honest reviews from people who have actually attended any of these programs. Which would you recommend for someone starting GS Mains preparation almost from scratch?

​

Thanks.
