IASbaba’s MAINS Mentorship Based Answer Writing Programme:

Think Learn and Perform (TLP), 2019 Phase II

ONLINE and OFFLINE – General Studies GS (Admission Open) - Now in DELHI and BANGALORE!

 

The Preliminary Examination just got over and it is high time that you get done and dusted with the hangover of predicting cut off and endless speculations. What matters the most at this point of time is the planning for Mains which is hardly 3 months away. With UPSC squeezing the time between Prelims and Mains, you need rigorous and intensive preparation during this period.

 

What do you need at this point of time? The answer is the following:

  1. The first and the foremost is to complete the syllabus which may have remained untouched till now. Simultaneously, you need to have a revision regime to consolidate the loads of information that you must have collected before Prelims.
  2. While everything else happens, the most important or rather the most obvious thing to do is- answer writing practice. Even if you have studied from the best possible sources and have the confidence to answer any question under the sun, without practising answer writing, things are going to be difficult. While writing in Mains, you must be at ease, as if you are doing the most routine and mundane thing.
  3. During your preparation, you must know whether you are on the right track. Only practising answer writing is not sufficient. There are many candidates who answer all the questions, fill in all the pages of the QCA and yet score really low marks. Reason? They are just writing, without giving adequate attention to context, content and construction of an answer.  
  4. Innovation is needed to make your level a notch or two above others. If your answers don’t shine amongst the numerous others, the examiner will hardly be impressed. What it means is that you need to learn to display novelty in your answers. While everyone else is writing the same spoon fed content, you must learn to think original and make the examiner believe that you possess higher order thinking skills.
 

How is IASbaba going to help you?

The name TLP doesn’t need any introduction. For the past 3 years, TLP has become synonymous with quality and effectiveness. The testimony and recommendation of toppers speak volumes about the quality of questions that IASbaba frames. In TLP, you will get a mix of thought provoking, opinion oriented, highly analytical and most probable questions apart from few direct questions to prepare you for any scenario that UPSC can throw at you.

 

TLP Programme has become the most trusted name when it comes to answer writing practice for UPSC Mains. You can see it yourself here: 

Mains 2018: General Studies Paper: How IASbaba was Helpful in Answering More than 85 Percent of UPSC GS Mains Papers!

Few Testimonials:

In the words of Kanishak Katria, Rank 1 UPSC CSE 2018, the feedback on ONLINE platforms:

  1. Unacademy: tried in my 1st month of preparation. Didn’t find it relevant for me. Sometimes had a look if I had to find some information. NOT A REGULAR LEARNER.
  2. IASbaba: Followed TLP Platform for Answer Writing Practice (AWP) after Prelims. It helped me get into the AWP groove. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to those who want to get started with AWP. Quality of Questions is good. But feedback is difficult as many people upload their answers. If you are able to get in touch with 3-4 people, it’ll certainly be mutually beneficial. Otherwise you might get a little lost.
  3. Insightsonindia: utilised for prelims (as explained earlier). Didn’t find Mains answer writing platform relevant for me. Preferred IASbaba more for their quality of questions.
  4. ForumIAS: ustilised for prelims and few offline tests at home.
 

Dr. NEHA JAIN, AIR 14 - CSE 2017 (ILP Student)

The most important part of my own mains preparation was TLP initiative. I used to religiously and diligently practice every day writing 5 questions on the website. If there's one initiative I truly followed despite even on days when I didn't feel like studying, it was definitely TLP.

The questions are thoughtful and completely in sync with the dynamic trends covering the syllabus in a timely manner. There are legit regular breaks which make this initiative actually workable and realistic so one can have time for optional/ revision/ rest.

I can say that for myself that I truly and honestly give my thanks to IASBABA and specially TLP for being such an important part of my journey. Thanks:) and All the best wishes for future.

1. Think Learn and Perform (TLP) 2019 Phase II   (ONLINE) - a FREE initiative

As you all know, IASbaba the only one to have a Dedicated Platform for UPSC Mains Answer writing, something which is unparalleled. It gives your preparation a personalised touch. Just like any social media platform, you can have your personalised account wherein you can upload your answers, get the reviews and feedback and separate everything else from your Mains preparation.

TLP runs on 3 simple principles: high quality questions, high quality synopsis and high quality engagement amongst the student’s community. These principles, although simple and logical, are hard to implement. However, we have been consistently delivering on these principles and the rock solid validation of this comes from the fact that since the evening of Prelims, we have received hundreds of mails from the aspirants to declare the schedule of TLP for Mains 2019.

So here we are, with yet another edition of the high quality TLP. This time, there are few changes, however. For example, on request of many aspirants, we have synced the schedule of TLP (Online) with TLP (Offline), our another flagship offline/ online initiative for Mains answer writing.

Moreover, to ensure more focus and streamlined coverage of syllabus, the TLP schedule shall have one paper per week.

Now, for those who are newcomers in the domain of UPSC preparation, we are providing the features of TLP below:
