Why this program?
UPSC is reducing the number of days between Prelims and Mains. For IAS Mains you have to prepare for 7 papers and the syllabus is vast. If you are not well prepared for IAS Mains before attempting prelims, your chances to clear IAS Mains are very less. So, do not waste your precious time. With this program you can cover the General Studies Syllabus within 21 weeks.
Only reading books and notes is not enough to score good marks in IAS mains exam. Following are 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.
With this program, you can cover the General Studies syllabus within 21 weeks. Program also includes 8 Revision tests.
HOW IT WILL WORK?
Students will receive 2 Questions based on the sub topic of the day at 9AM daily.
Then, students can attempt those two questions on a plain A4 size sheet of papers with margins on both sides or you can download it here.
After attempting questions, students should scan it as PDF and send this to telegram account or upscsupersimplified@gmail.com
Answers will be evaluated within 24 hours after you submit the answer.
Copies are evaluated by our well experienced team members, who earlier worked with various reputed IAS coaching institutes.
If you have any difficulty in answer writing, you can talk to mentors anytime.

This program made my mains preparation more stronger. Though I regret I joined it late .
Thank you sir and the team !
Binshad Ali
Arunima Aggrawal
I could actually notice a change in my note making strategy in just a month’s time. I was now better equipped to know which areas of the topics I should primarily focus upon.
I would recommend everyone to join the programme, at least for a month, to inculcate in oneself consistency and discipline. Further, one would also get self-assessed as to where one stands in the preparation.
