I gave my self a challenge of writing a GS2 answer using 7 min timer in unacademy answer writing session by AIR 17..

just wrote what came to my mind..

Now I realise I could never forget what Delimitation is and its article and how it is formed..and its basic importance and challenges..

Intent is to make a data base of public servants with their administrative excellences..

The score should have been min 400.. It is serious time Tilak Varma needs to up his game... If not for Vipraj and Roy India A would have ended up with a sub 300 score like 330-350...

I am looking to challenge Q no. 1 (procedure established by law) , 78 ( fly ash) , 91 ( Affirmative action and reservation) through representation.

Any one willing to challenge same Qs. we can work together to find the sources...

Any math optional aspirants here with 1-2 attempts and preparing for 2027, join me for next attempt.

These are my mains goals for 2027:

1. Mains specific GS notes on syllabus topics
2. Math paper 1 and 2 short notes by December 2027..

Candidates with the common goal do dm..we will start from June 10th…

I met today 3 IAS officers from a group of 2024 batch (who gave exam in 2023). According to two of them, the prelims 2026 was tough while the other officer said UPSC is like this, if UPSC does not do this it will not live up to its reputation and it is doing the same from 2020...

Basic tip for mains from one of the best (under AIR 5)

• Make notes on each syllabus topic and subtopics.
• value add with data, facts, committee reports.
• update the notes by referring to various sources like newspaper, coaching material etc...
• last thing revise, revise, value add, value add....
• will ask next time on improving answer writing strategy in exam hall.

for prelims:

• practice more mocks to avoid exam hall pressure and silly mistakes...(Which i did)

When can we expect the answer keys to be released by UPSC, as 31st May will be the last day of representation in the portal.
