OVERVIEW:

The ultimate program meticulously designed for truly dedicated aspirants to bank upon for being Mains 2022 & 2023 Ready

The main Examination is intended to assess the overall intellectual traits and depth of understanding of candidates rather than merely the range of their information and memory. The questions are likely to test the candidate’s basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyze, and take a view on conflicting socio-economic goals, objectives and demands. ‘Mains’ assesses the quality of thoughts and content of one’s mind. These will enter subconsciously into one’s answer sheets.

Further, Instances of serious aspirants failing to clear the Mains hurdle, despite having good knowledge and being extensively read and doing all the hard work, are very common in the circles of UPSC CSE preparation.

It is 'LEARN, REVISE & PRACTICE, TEST, IMPROVE, SUCCEED'.

This highly innovative course has been strategically designed for serious aspirants to make them exam ready by strategically steering their preparation in the right direction and imparting them a mix of enhancement of knowledge, improvement in skills, personalized mentorship and extensive practice and revision.

Aspirants can 'Learn & Enrich' their preparation with this targeted, exam-oriented complementary component by super specialized faculty who follow a systematic approach with special focus on application of knowledge to help aspirants hone their skills and skyrocket their mains marks.

Scoring well in Ethics paper can give an aspirant a well needed edge of 20-30 marks. This can be gauged from the fact that in CSE 2017 most of the toppers’ scores in Ethics hovered around 90 to 100 marks whereas only a few aspirants scored above 105. One aspirant scored 134….getting the edge of around 30 marks in one single paper!!!

Similarly, Essay is considered to be very dicey paper as one year a candidate may score 155 and the following year the score may drop to 100. Further, the range of marks varies from as low as 70 to around 165.
