Hello Everyone,

Now that the date of UPSC Prelims Exam 2020 is announced (4^th October), you have to change gears and start moving forward without wasting any time. All your energies should be focused towards one single Goal, that is, to get a single digit rank in UPSC Civil Services Exam – 2020. You need to keep that fire burning if you want your engine to carry you forward.

In the last post as we promised, we are here with an amazing plan to give you a push till the finish line. The plan is called Integrated Revision Plan (IRP). Integrated because we will be covering your mains and prelims syllabus together.

As the date has been pushed to 4th of October, we know that there is a good enough time. Good enough in the sense that it is not enough to start a full fledged mains preparation covering all mains topics but it is too long a time to neglect mains preparation and focus only on prelims preparation.

Now the next big question is, how to balance the two? And this is where IRP is going to help you out. The program will run for 100 days starting from 10th of June.

Daily 5 current affairs questions and 10 topic wise static questions will be posted in quiz format.

Parallel to these prelims questions, GS mains syllabus will be covered. Daily 3 questions will be posted, where 2 Mains (Static) questions will be from the topic similar to prelims portion and one will be from current affairs. This will help you to continue your writing practice and you won’t have to spend extra time in reading something new. This will actually give you a lot of confidence as you’ll see that by the end of it, almost 80% of your GS mains syllabus will be over. Apart from it, it won’t take unnecessary toll on your prelims preparation. Hence you will be able to maintain focus with almost zero distraction.

Apart from it, we will be covering complete ethics syllabus. Right now you have enough time to finish ethics syllabus completely. Every Friday, ethics questions will be published for your practice. Ethics is one paper which is taken very lightly by the candidates. But you need to remember that it is also a 250 mark paper and with almost one third of the effort as compared to paper 1, you can score much higher than the other 3 GS papers.

Your GS answers will be evaluated and feedback will be provided so that you can improve every single day.

We are giving 3 Mains Questions on Daily basis (unlike our regular TLP which has 5 questions) so that every student can actively participate and keep your preparation focused.

Last but not the least, now is also the time for you to work on your Essay skills. Every Saturday, essay topics (General Theme Based and Philosophical) will be posted for your practice. It is advised to write at least one essay a week and make structure for 3 – 4 essays.  By the end of this 100 day program, you will be able to cover almost 40 – 50 topics this way. There is a very high probability that you might get a similar topic in exam.
