I was so confused - 106 CAA to pass ho chuka tha. These were voting on 131 CAB. Asked AI : Without today's bill: Wait for 2027 census → delimitation → women's reservation maybe by 2034-35 With today's bill: Use 2011 census → do delimitation now → women's reservation possibly by 2029 The government framed it as "we're trying to implement women's reservation faster." The opposition said "you're using that as cover to redraw India's electoral map in your favour right now." In BC ko khali election ka mudda chahiye. TN etc k lok sabha seats m badlaav hoga. Agle lok sabha k liye stunt h - AUR KUCH NI HAI

Maybe nari shakti vandan was just an excuse to get delimitation passed - why 2023 Act deliberately tied women's reservation to delimitation, when it didn't need to — reservation could have been implemented using existing seat numbers. Now they will just blame opposition rather than discuss meaningful delimitation. A failed political strategy to reshape India's electoral map in favour of the ruling party's stronghold regions @upscseeproanalytics

Response to RTI by UPSC regarding new restrictions on improvement attempts. If you have been selected through any list in 2025 or earlier, one improvement attempt will be there in 2026 or 2027.

Why syllabus keywords and PYQs are important - for mains and prelims both ? • They are the only guiding light in this ocean of knowledge. You can learn all about Bahmani Sultans, Yadava kingdoms etc but if UPSC is not asking them - they are irrelevant. • Coachings with their foundation programmes are actively sabotaging their own customers. They have incentive to prolong the preparpation of candidates. Why does a well educated graduate need foundation for general studies ? I mean - answer writing, elimination techniques need guidance - but giving 10 tons of material for SnT - cryogenic rockets and deep subject specific tidbits in an exam that rewards breadth rather than depth is mind boggling • Circling back to the first point - PYQ and syllabus tell us what is expected and how much. If Food processing industries is there in GS3, we just use PYQs to analyse what all dimensions have been asked from this topic. Thus, notes can be prepared very easiliy using good prompts or by following topper notes. • Also, syllabus keywords should be memorised by heart. If you are reading a newspaper - you can easily filter out CA if it doesn't fit any syllabus domain. So it acts as the ultimate BS filter too. • Similarly, if you are writing an ethics answer - just add one dimension in the answer each from - attitude, aptitude, EI, Ethics in IR, Public service values and your answer looks all encompassing now. Thus syllabus is the ultimate template - and if you can exploit every syllabus keyword as dimension - like using GS1,2,3 and 4 keywords for opening dimensions - you are almost sorted. Only value addition/CA annotation is required. • So please don't ignore syllabus keywords and PYQs. Never. @upscseeproanalytics

PrelimsTips#4 In the hall, when you get the paper, the first thing that you should do is to skim through the paper, assess the difficulty of the paper and DETERMINE how many questions you are going to attempt . Just write down the difficulty - easy medium complex on the top margin after skimming through the paper. Reason is, if you attempt too much in a difficult paper, you are going to get a lot of negatives. If you attempt too less in an easy paper then also it hampers your chances as your competitors would attempt maximum possible. In my personal opinion,the sweet spot to attempt the the paper is between 80 to 85 in a hard paper like 2021/2023 . If the paper is moderate like 2022/2024 then 85 to 90 and if the paper is easy, then 90+. Now these brackets might vary - and we highly recommend you calibrate them through the FLTs etc you are solving. Most importantly, after you have solved the paper for 45 minutes to 1 hour - YOU SHOULD RE-CALIBRATE the paper's difficulty and decide the final number you are going to attempt. Sometimes the earlier assessment might be wrong because you started in a patch of difficult questions, didn't skim the paper fully. But solving for 1 hour should give you a much better idea. This re-assessment will come handy in your final passes and stop your urge of marking questions carelessely. You should decide this number and this thinking on your feet will probably a very important decision you make in those two hours. Happy Studying !! PG @upscseeproanalytics @upscproanalytics
