Many aspirants dream of becoming a civil servant. However, the majority of aspirants get stuck in the Prelims stage for years. Even if they clear the Prelims, they struggle to clear the Mains Exam for a variety of reasons, including answer writing, time management, the ability to write extensively, switch between topics of various subjects, and answer writing. The competitive nature of the UPSC CSE Exam requires, to put it mildly, at least a year of committed and diligent preparation.

According to our observation, most aspirants encounter the following significant challenges:

• Aspirants lack a thorough understanding of the Preliminary and Mains UPSC CSE Syllabus.
• Aspirants prepare for the Main Exam after clearing the Prelims Exam, which results in a disjointed and ineffective preparation.
• Aspirants lack a fundamental knowledge of the essential subjects.
• Aspirants lack discipline when it comes to their preparation.
• Aspirants lack the dedication needed to fully master the extensive and dynamic UPSC CSE syllabus, despite their determination.
• The subjects covered in the lectures are not repeatedly revisited and revised by aspirants.
• Even aspirants with strong educational backgrounds struggle to deliver, use, and answer questions in an effective and efficient manner.
• Despite having a strong foundation and strong writing abilities, aspirants struggle to finish all 20 questions of each Mains Paper on time.

• Aspirants who are either in their third year of college graduation or have already graduated.
• Aspirants who are either in their post-graduate programme or have already completed it.
• Aspirants who plan to take the UPSC CSE in the following year, i.e., 2026.
• Aspirants who want to lay a solid and comprehensive foundation for the Prelims and Mains.
• Aspirants who wish to increase their chances of successfully clearing the Preliminary and Mains Exams in 2026.
