UPSC Essay Test Series 2026 by Vajiram & Ravi

The Essay paper in the UPSC Mains Exam is a golden opportunity. With small, consistent efforts, this paper can significantly enhance a candidate's overall score, potentially making the difference in securing the rank of their choice.

Yet, many aspirants do not give this paper the focused attention it requires.

• Mental Block and Inertia: Many aspirants want to practice essay writing but struggle to take the first step due to a lack of routine or discipline.
• Lack of Objective Evaluation: Even after writing an essay, candidates often lack feedback on the quality and effectiveness of their writing.
• Absence of Course Correction: Without proper evaluation, students do not know how to improve or what to focus on in their next essay.
• Decline in Motivation: Irregular practice and lack of constructive feedback can cause a decline in motivation to write future essays.

These challenges often turn the Essay paper into a guessing game for many students, rather than an opportunity to score high and differentiate themselves.
