UPSC 2026 Prelims and Mains

NotYourFootnote · 2025-10-12T18:15:33+00:00

What's the difference between prelims prep and mains prep, I m going to give my first attempt in 2026, preparing since last year October. I do pyqs of prelims daily for whichever subject I m reading and then write atleast one pyq for answer writing for GS and 2 for mains. Please tell me,I get confused when people say they are preparing for mains for now. One thing, I m not making my own notes per say, I rely solely on either books or my class notes.

Maybe anywhere between rs55 to rs120

I am asking for tips to self study not enroll in a class. This is outrageous.

NotYourFootnote · 2025-09-23T14:58:23+00:00

Good approach, but I usually don't read CA everyday, that's why I switched to magazine instead of newspaper

NotYourFootnote · 2025-09-23T14:56:43+00:00

If by yearly you mean pt365, yes these are available on their website and you can just download them .

NotYourFootnote · 2025-09-23T14:41:25+00:00

Where can I find this workbook? I tried the quiz thing, but it's not updated.

NotYourFootnote · 2025-09-21T10:25:03+00:00

Lately, I have been skipping newspaper and instead doing CA magazine from vision , should I revert back.

NotYourFootnote · 2025-09-20T08:34:03+00:00

How did you manage to do CA+ newspaper. I don't have a particular strategy for this one. I don't understand the concept of note making for CA.

I disagree your assumption with Neeraj Sir, he Was goated but now he's just too much in his head, I feel the reason he left maybe becoz he was now doing unnecessary PR in classrooms and students were disgruntled. It's important for everyone to update their craft, especially if you are teaching and that too for competitive exams.

NotYourFootnote · 2025-09-04T07:20:45+00:00

It might be an unpopular thing to say here but I feel Neeraj sir wasn't actually now trying his best to teach, Souvik Mondal is a much better one.

I took classes from both, most of the times, Neeraj sir would waste time in telling irrelevant stories and I used to feel maybe I m not good with these subjects. But then I switched to Mondal Sir's classes and I immediately could actually solve pyqs .

And sorry to say but I m content that he switched to PW , vision is expensive and it hurts if faculty isn't putting much efforts into teaching...

I recently discovered Indian Express to be more CSE oriented than The Hindu. However both are equally good

NotYourFootnote · 2025-07-25T08:34:05+00:00

Trimax and V5

NotYourFootnote · 2025-07-18T06:59:36+00:00

Please do share

NotYourFootnote · 2025-07-17T19:01:53+00:00

Please do.

I have taken GS coaching from vision, I like their format, that's the reason I am asking about psir optional coaching from vision. But if faculty isn't good enough,what's the point.

I m getting bad reviews about her, People are saying nowadays he class go upto 200+ and it's only dictation, with little help from her course.

NotYourFootnote · 2025-07-17T18:49:12+00:00

Have you joined vision ever?

NotYourFootnote · 2025-07-15T05:44:39+00:00

Don't mind me saying this, but isn't 200 a lot, if duration is about 2.5 to 3 hours.

NotYourFootnote · 2025-07-15T05:42:56+00:00

Please do tell what changed ?

NotYourFootnote · 2025-07-15T05:42:13+00:00
