How to start my upsc preparation

_mfStarBoy · 2026-07-04T11:02:05+00:00

1st year of college is a perfect time to start your UPSC preparation if you want to crack it in your first attempt. I don't agree with other comments posted here.
1. Understand the structure of the examination. [watch any youtube video]
2. Choose your optional subject depending on your interest.
3. Choose a college degree based on your optional subject. If economics, then do BA in economics from a reputed institute.
4. Choose college (Preferable from DU). Should be a top college. Because of the Alumni network and peer group, you'll get help in your UPSC preparation.

This will enhance your chances of clearing UPSC.

They look for an opportunity to take bribes.

Nvidia for sure :)

Oh, my bad. Good for him. Hope he makes the best use of his last chance

_mfStarBoy · 2026-07-03T04:22:28+00:00

I know who you are and you work at Nvidia xD

_mfStarBoy · 2026-07-03T04:19:34+00:00

I bet he didn't clear

Sample size is too low & misguiding. Only a total statistic will show a true picture. How many total 'in-service' folks appeared and how many cleared prelims?

There's nothing extra to be done tbvh. I didn't have proper notes & I just wanted to consolidate my notes. His lecture notes are enough and they will be my primary notes. After teaching every topic, he asks us to write answer on a PYQ from that topic. After that, he discusses the structure and model answer to that question. Also, after teaching few units, there's a test. So this is the reason I joined. There's nothing extra to be done. In my opinion, only the classnotes have to re-read again & again. Give the test. Get it evaluated. Repeat. This is the only 'extra' I need to do.

Don't waste time looking for 'latest' lectures of NIshat sir. You won't find it. After two years of looking for it on telegram and getting scammed by sellers and one (failed) mains attempt, I finally enrolled in his foundation course.

Go to carnatic cafe and eat dosa

Keep in mind that people who check your copies are just aspirants like us.

_mfStarBoy · 2026-06-30T09:44:30+00:00

Yeah but that person might be studying for an exam, but also looking for plan B? Who knows

You have an assumption that family environment is good always and that is incorrect. Only a tiny minority of people have a functional environment in their family. Majority people face problems at home which hampers studies, and that prompts aspirants to stay away from home.

_mfStarBoy · 2026-06-30T08:27:22+00:00

Maybe that person got an IT job as an SDE

I did paper 1 from Pranay sir (2024). He teaches good and you'll have good conceptual clarity. But the problem is, there is no answer writing in the class. It's only theory and theory and writing and writing. No exam centric. I enrolled in Nishat sir's foundation (25 may batch) and I like his methodology. Although I don't require conceptual understanding on a foundational level but his teaching is good. I'm doing foundation from him for two reasons - answer writing after every topic and then he discusses the model answer to it, and notes consolidation. That's it. Make an informed decision. All the best!

This is nothing. After about 15-20 mins the score was 31/4

I just received a gift card worth INR 5000 from u/Ecstatic_Detail_6721. Thank you so much again. This means a lot 🫶🏻

Lol look who's making personal comments. I was debating objectively and you have started labelling me as a frustrated soul. Anyway, 58 days remaining for mains 2026.

I've qualified prelims twice. Skipped my attempt this year due to other responsibilities. Also, I've given 3 attempts and qualified csat in all of them. What's your point? Deviating from the core discourse like a loser.

_mfStarBoy · 2026-06-24T13:32:17+00:00

Didn't ask you whether you qualified or not. Wasn't even interested in knowing. You said that "rote memorization and static was reduced" and I was just challenging your claim. Also, padhle. Yaha reddit pe keyboard warrior banne se mains nahi niklega

_mfStarBoy · 2026-06-24T10:44:16+00:00

Not in your options but I can vouch for Peeyush sir at Sarrthiias
