Hello guys good morning!
As you know, two more weeks have passed in our prelims 2025 plan that we’re following @StepforPrelims2025.

As promised, at the end of every 2 weeks, there will be an active recall session. So we will have an Active Recall session today!

Date - 15 Feb (today)
Time - 8:30 PM
LIVE on Youtube
Topics - Modern History and Geography

See you there!

Ps - most people will skip it. In January, most people are enthusiastic when they start the prelims prep. Feb and March are low months, and finally people wake up in April. If you want to make it, be as consistent as possible. Even if there are some backlogs in modern history and geography let us do the revision session properly. Atleast it will help us identify our gaps. Don’t let up, don’t relax right now. Pain of regret is much worse than pain of discipline.

Just got done with my last lecture of economics in PRP (with the exception of the lecture on budget on YouTube tomorrow).

When I decided to start teaching economics, I decided that I would learn it from scratch. I read the Oxford and Cambridge books, books from optional, the IGNOU BA material and much more. It took immense, immense effort.

But atleast on a personal level, I can say the effort paid off. My favourite moments were when we read the entire 14 chapters’ preview of the economic survey in class and we were able to understand. When we did a critique of Jobless growth in India, and when we understood the Inflation Reduction Act of the USA.

I’m so thankful to everyone who took the time out to watch these lectures, to put trust in me, and to learn with me. This feeling will always be special and pure to me, more pure than any other joy.

Extremely grateful to you for everything. I Promise (and henceforth create a liability) that I will do Justice to the opportunity cost of Resigning from the IRS to teach, so that I can frontload information and cause a non inflationary growth of knowledge and value in your prep. Thanks for everything.

Yours,
Forever in your debt (and deficit :P)

Hello all. Now that the dust has settled, a few important announcements.
The forms are out, which means that we have to fill them soon enough to get the center of our choice.

However, you are supposed to fill service preferences this time with the prelims form.

This is something that requires depth, knowledge and experience. Today itself, i will be uploading a video on all services, their conditions, nature of work etc. These are not hypotheticals, this is what I know from my experience in the service itself and from the experiences of my batchmates as well as seniors like Mudit sir.

So that you can take a well informed decision, please watch this video today and then fill service preferences.

Video will be up soon.

Hey guys. Firstly, thank you for the immense, immense support i got. It means the world to me. In the last 2 days I introspected and realised that sometimes, we lose sight of our true purpose in the noise of everything that is happening around. I asked myself, why I wanted to come to teaching full time, and the answer was simple - I love teaching and I think I can add value to people’s prep. I feel that it was important to remind myself of that. I’m here, I will emerge stronger.

In the last two days which were definitely not my best, I read all the comments and messages I got. The support that you guys gave me was simply overwhelming. Although I’m cautiously aware that ours is not a transactional relationship, I will ensure that I pay back this support with effort, hardwork and most importantly, by creating value in your preparation journey in UPSC and beyond. Will post a video on the 31st detailing everything that I’ve thought about, past and future.

In the end though, i’d like to reiterate what i’ve said before - it’s okay not to be okay sometimes. But it’s always important to reach out and admit if we’re not okay. Thank you for giving me the strength and opportunity to express myself when I needed it most. I hope I can give you the same gift when you need it.

See you on YouTube on the 31st.

Forever in your debt
(and I mean this with all the earnestness in my heart)

Hey. I’m not feeling great. I’m not okay, either. As i look back over this year, it has been a fairly topsy turvy one. I think there are a lot of things i did right, but there were many things i could have done better. And I know it might look from the outside that I have no reason to be low, but I still am. Whenever there is something big in my life, when I achieve a feat or complete something, I share it here. It’s only fair that I share my low moments too. This message is just to tell you that it can happen to the best of us. There can be times when you just feel like crying, where you just feel worthless, where you feel that doing your best will not be enough and it doesn’t count, either. It might not be the case, but it is what I feel right now. I feel depressed. And it’s okay. It can happen. Sharing this to just let you all know that mental health matters, and in the worst moments of our lives we are not alone. I’m here. I’m listening. I’ll talk about this in a video too, as I look back on my year and evaluate everything I did. But rest assured, i’m here. And I will be, long term. I know mains ready by December could’ve been executed better. I know some things were not optimal. They are bothering me. Maybe in the video i’ll tell you guys everything and how it panned out, but my core message is this - you are NOT alone. I might take longer to reach you, but i’m never away. Just as I am sure that you are here for me too.

Regards.
Shivin.

Hello All!
As we approach the interview stage, we are starting our interview guidance program.
This Program is divided into 3 phases, as per the demand of the exam.

Step 1 : Filling the DAF.
Here, we will have one on one and group sessions on how to fill the DAF. This is the key step in our interview preparation, as a lot of questions get asked from the DAF. I along with Varun Jain sir will be taking these sessions.

Step 2 : Preparing for the personality test.
This is the area which is often ignored. Here we will be focusing on preparing the likely questions on our DAF and reading relevant current affairs.
Here, we will be having 1 on 1 DAF sessions in both offline and online mode, Daily and Weekly Current Affairs sessions and Sessions by senior civil servants on how to prepare for the Interview.

The first such session will be taken by Shri Navneet Wasan, (IPS retd) Former UPSC Panel Member and ex- Special Director, National Investigation Agency. He will be speaking on what are the expectations of the UPSC interview board. This will be an offline interactive session.

Step 3 : Online Mock Interviews with Current and Former Civil Servants.

Here, we will have instant feedback, as well as recordings of the sessions and an approximation of marks.

We've tried to design a one stop solution for the interview, the same way we had done for the Mains Examination.

To register, Please fill this form :
https://forms.gle/9mrQvE2sFfXiXWhc7

Thank you, Best wishes in this final lap!

We will start this Program from 14th December, with an OPEN DAF session at our OFFLINE Center in ORN, Delhi.

UPSC 2026 Aspirants – Start Early!

Success in UPSC is not just about intelligence; it's about starting early.

Building a strong foundation now means smoother revisions and a head start on Prelims later.

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to have everything figured out today. The journey is long, but the key is to start.

Don’t let fear or excuses hold you back. Every successful candidate started when it was uncomfortable.

The perfect moment doesn’t exist—just start.

Take the leap. Begin reading, note-taking, and building momentum.

Your UPSC journey begins now.

6 attempts in UPSC. Missed the final list by 6 marks. He did not make it to the final list, but his spirit was indomitable. He refused to bow down. Mentored countless aspirants, I’m happy to say I was one of them. I owe him my selection and so much more. This series is about the story of Varun Jain sir, someone who has inspired me to no end. This exam can teach you how to keep working and always work to your fullest.

This series is all about his journey. We’ve seen a lot of series on UPSC success, but this one admits that failure is just a temporary setback, if you don’t stop working.

4. People who have given mains before 2024

Lots and lots of repetition from PYQs and Write Smart. 3 Questions of Gs-3 have been asked in Gs-2, some questions of Gs-3 have been asked in GS-1 also. Will do a full analysis video in the upcoming week.

Essay paper, CSM 2024.
In my opinion, a bit easier than before. Atleast 1 non philosophical topic in each section (social media / forests).

To all those who gave this paper today :
Please don’t discuss it on telegram. Focus on tomorrow’s GS1 and GS2 papers.

Personally, i would have chosen topic 4 (doubter - man of science) and topic 5 (social media)

What I’ve understood is, most of us aren’t studying at the moment. Mark my words, this time will cost you. The moment december comes, everyone startes studying for prelims. It’s only till then that you can gain a competitive edge.
