This program is based on the concept of the Compounding effect. The compound effect is the strategy of reaping huge rewards from small, seemingly insignificant actions. Writing 2 answers daily may seem a very small task. But in the long run it will drastically improve your answer quality and help in clearing IAS Mains exam. |
Features of program
- Daily 2 questions based on predefined plan
- 8 sectional half length general studies tests and 4 sectional essay tests
- Time bound copy evaluation
- Cover the Essay and General Studies Syllabus within 20 weeks
- One on one session with mentors
- Evaluation by well experienced team
- Well experienced mentors for doubt clearance and guidance
- Approach answers for revision
- Answer enriching tips, keywords, examples, case studies, statistics
Why this program?
UPSC is reducing the number of days between Prelims and Mains. For IAS Mains students have to prepare for 7 papers and the syllabus is vast. If a student is not well prepared for IAS Mains before attempting prelims, chances to clear IAS Mains are very less. So, do not waste precious time. With this program, you can cover the Essay and General Studies Syllabus within 20 weeks.
Only reading books and notes is not enough to score good marks in the IAS mains exam. Following are the main dimensions of High Scoring Answer–
- Context
- Structuring
- Presentation
- Introduction
- Conclusion
- Language Skills
- Handwriting
- Content
Most coaching institutions and students invest the majority of their time in developing Content i.e. reading more and more books, notes, PDFs. So, other dimensions remain neglected. With a daily answer writing program, we will help you to develop all dimensions.
HOW IT WILL WORK?
- Students will receive 2 Questions based on the sub-topic of the day at 9 AM daily.
- Then, students can attempt those questions on a plain A4 size sheet of paper with margins on both sides or you can use the QcA booklet provided by us.
- After attempting questions, students should scan it as a PDF and send this to us on telegram.
- Answers will be evaluated within 24 hours after you submit the answer.
- Copies are evaluated by our well-experienced team members, who earlier appeared in CSE interviews.
- If you have any difficulty in answer writing, you can talk to mentors anytime.
