Prelims Plus Test Series 2026

The Preliminary Examination of the UPSC Civil Services Examination is the most decisive and unforgiving stage of the selection process. Designed primarily as a screening test, it demands not only conceptual clarity but also exam temperament, precision, speed, and strategic decision-making.

Experience has repeatedly shown that consistent testing, timely feedback, and structured improvement are far more critical at this stage than passive reading or multiple revisions alone.

Keeping this reality at the core, Vajiram & Ravi has developed the Prelims PLUS Test Series 2026—a carefully designed programme that mirrors the UPSC syllabus, evolving question trends, and exam conditions, enabling aspirants to consolidate preparation and maximise their performance in the actual examination.

Aspirants often discover that despite strong conceptual preparation, the UPSC Prelims remains elusive due to lack of structured practice and exam-specific refinement.

Over the years, Vajiram & Ravi has observed that many capable aspirants remain stuck at the Prelims stage because they:

• Focus excessively on strengths while ignoring weak areas
• Lack familiarity with UPSC’s evolving question patterns
• Struggle to manage 100 questions in 2 hours consistently
• Take unnecessary risks and lose marks due to poor elimination strategy

The Prelims Plus Test Series directly addresses these challenges through disciplined testing, analysis, and correction.

This Test Series is ideal for aspirants who aim to:

• Develop effective time-management skills
• Minimise losses due to negative marking
• Identify and strengthen weak areas
• Improve speed, accuracy, and decision-making
• Overcome exam anxiety and pressure

It is especially beneficial for aspirants who want to convert preparation into performance and enhance their chances of clearing the Prelims cut-off.

The programme enables aspirants to:

• Begin early and efficient revisions
• Practise realistic strategies for tackling difficult questions
• Get accustomed to exam pressure and unpredictability
• Fine-tune attempt strategy well before the actual exam
• Build confidence through repeated simulation of the Prelims environment
