Life, UPSC, Plan B and Beyond Hey everyone! We all know how all-consuming the UPSC preparation can be. It often feels like the exam is everything, but it’s so important to remember that there is a vast, fulfilling life beyond the textbooks and test series. I’m hosting a special live session to discuss the things we usually ignore during prep: mental health, physical fitness, maintaining hobbies, building a solid Plan B, and exploring alternative career paths. To give you a well-rounded perspective, I’m bringing in two brilliant friends of mine, who have carved out amazing paths in entirely different fields. 🎙 The Panel: Randip Singh (PhD Scholar, Centre for South Asian Studies, SIS, JNU) – Shedding light on the world of academia, research, and life at JNU. Sangam Badoni (Climate Model Risk Manager, Barclays) – Breaking down specialised corporate careers and transitioning into the private sector. Myself (IAS’2025, WB Cadre) – Sharing my experiences from the prep phase to the Academy, and how to balance the grind. We’ll be sharing honest experiences, answering your questions, and talking about how to keep your sanity intact whether you clear the exam or decide to pivot to another dream. 🗓 Date: 2nd July 🕘 Time: 8PM 📍 Where: Right here on this channel! (@saksham_strategy) Set your alarms and drop any questions you have for Randip, Sangam or me in the comments below. See you all there! ✨ Do share this with your friends whom you think might be interested in joining this session.

Congratulations to all the selected candidates. ❤️ With the way Prelims is evolving, every opportunity to write Mains is a privilege. Make the most of it. Write, revise, improve, repeat. Give it everything you’ve got. And to those who couldn’t make it this time and were near border. Take your time to process it, but don’t let it grow upon you. This prelims was really uncertain but your effort and potential were not. I don’t really want to sympathise because you know you are much better than someone who craves a third persons validation for setbacks. Make a roadmap, stick to it. See you again. Stronger. 🌻

2–3 din baad kuch log kahenge - ‘Paper utna bhi difficult nahi tha…’ ‘Maine centre ke bahar sabke chehre dekhe the…’ Tum bas apne is vichar par ade rehna😂 Jisne woh 2 ghante jeeye hain, asal sach sirf wahi jaanta hai. My take, in exam based circumstances it was indeed a really difficult paper to solve. Take rest for 2-3 days. Wait for UPSC’s official answer key to come. Enjoy to your fullest.

Don’t have much to say. Just remember one thing tomorrow: “One question at a time. Two marks at a time.” That’s all this exam really is. And if, at any point, a mistake happens-don’t let it stay with you for the next question. Forgive yourself immediately and move forward. The ones who recover quickly are the ones who stay in the fight till the very end. Also remember this during those two hours, you are performing far better than your anxious mind will make you believe. Trust yourself a little more. All the best. And when you walk into that examination hall, walk in with the confidence of someone who truly belongs there.

Polity for Prelims Polity questions in Prelims usually come from two types: 1. Conceptual and basic stuff – the kind you can cover directly from Laxmikanth. 2. Contemporary topics – things like bail, types of offences, arrests, etc. These are usually picked from current affairs booklets or newspapers. A combination of both is enough to tackle most questions. Below are the areas UPSC keeps going back to – again and again. No frills, just what you need to focus on: 1. Fundamental Rights – especially Articles 14, 19, and 21 Article 21, in particular, is a favourite. It’s broad and keeps expanding with new judgments – privacy, environment, health, etc. UPSC loves asking tricky and twisted questions from it. If you’re short on time, prioritise this over the rest. 2. Parliament – the whole chapter is important Every bit is relevant – but recently, the Bills section (Money Bill, Finance Bill, Ordinary Bill, etc.) is being explored in depth. Basics like the procedure, roles of both houses, and recent controversies Also the important topics is parliamentary commites. 3. Panchayati Raj and Local Governance It’s picking up steam in Prelims. Focus on the 73rd and 74th Amendments, structure of local bodies, and the role of the State Election Commission. Questions may be basic, but the statements are tricky. 4. Judiciary – SC and HC are favourites Their jurisdiction, powers, qualifications – UPSC goes deep here. Also don’t ignore subordinate courts completely – they can be asked in elimination-type questions. 5. Constitutional and Statutory Bodies CAG, Finance Commission, Election Commission – always important. NHRC too. Know composition, powers, qualifications, tenure, and any recent changes. Make a one-pager to revise quickly. If you don’t revise these properly, you’ll lose marks in easy questions. 6. Federalism – Centre-State Relations, Governor, Emergency This includes topics like President’s Rule, Governor’s discretion, financial relations, and Articles 352, 356, 360. These are often asked with real-life examples or current affairs references. President’s powers also fall under this umbrella. Final Word: Polity is vast, no doubt. But if you’ve done mocks, revised Laxmikanth well, and kept an eye on current affairs, you already know most of it. Just don’t mess up the easy stuff. Read carefully, eliminate smartly, and don’t overthink. Be confident. Don’t make silly mistakes. All the best.

Art & Culture – The Final Stretch Art & Culture is always that one subject that blends into ancient and medieval history, but most prelims questions will have a cultural angle baked into them. That’s the trick. If you’ve done it smartly, it pays off big. So here’s what you really need to focus on — sharp, sorted, and no fluff. 1. Indian Philosophy – Simple and Rewarding From the big ones like Buddhism, Jainism, Charvaka to Samkhya, Nyaya, Yoga, Mimamsa — this area is conceptual and surprisingly high-yield. It’s not complicated. Just get the basics right — who said what, which school believes in what. Also: These help a lot in elimination-based MCQs. Totally worth it. --- 2. Architecture – Whatever You Know is Still Less Honestly, this is huge. From Harappan to Bahadur Shah Zafar, they can pick anything. But some patterns are visible: Gupta era temples (early structural forms), Early medieval like Parmars and Chalukyas, Mughal architecture – you just can’t skip it. Just revise your one source well. Don’t fall for the trap of doing ten different books. And yes: do PYQs — especially architecture-based. Visual recall helps a lot here. 3. Literature – Ancient to Medieval You’ll almost always get a question from this area. Focus on: Big-name works — Kalidasa, Sangam, Banabhatta Bhakti/Sufi poets Biographies and autobiographies – Akbarnama, Baburnama, Ain-i-Akbari And don’t ignore science-related literature like Arthashastra or Charaka Samhita — it’s due for a question. 4. Paintings, Music, Dance – Selective but Important Don’t overkill, but don’t skip either. Read Fine Arts NCERT properly. Whatever is mentioned there (especially pictures), do it once. Classical dances and associated instruments — make a short chart. Also know painting schools: Mughal, Rajput, Pahari, Warli, Kalamkari, Madhubani etc. 5. UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Sites – Most Important Either they ask it directly or it helps you eliminate a wrong option. That’s why it’s gold. Make a list — name, state, year of inclusion. Don’t skip this. (Use CCRT or India Yearbook or some updated coaching summary). 6. Miscellaneous but High-Yield These are the underdogs. Read the names properly — Coins (dynasty + metal + symbols), Foreign travellers and what they wrote about, Ancient ports (Lothal, Muziris, Bharuch), And those small cultural terminologies from the last pages of NCERT (e.g. shikhara, mandapa, gopuram, amalaka). They might seem minor, but they fetch marks. --- Also, don’t ignore places like Ajanta, Ellora, Elephanta, Mathura, Sarnath. Listen carefully: > “Fine Arts ki NCERT me jis bhi cheez ka photo bana hua hai ya jiska special mention hai — usse aaj nahi to 10 saal baad, question aayega.” Do those pictures and side blurbs once properly. Visual memory sticks better. That’s it — History is complete now. And with this, most of the subjects that usually bring confusion and fatigue are done too. Polity and Economy are left — but truth be told, you probably know them better than anyone. These are your most revised areas. You know what you’re doing. So now, just come back to this list a day or two before the exam. Use it to check what’s pending. Clean up the edges. Nothing more. You are ready. Go conquer.

Modern History – The Must-Cover Topics for Prelims Around 3–4 questions from Modern History are expected in the Prelims. For many aspirants, it’s that segment starting from the second half of the 19th century up to independence — and rightly so. But within this broad timeline, UPSC has a clear pattern: it repeatedly draws from specific, high-yield areas. If you’re short on time or prioritizing, do not miss the following: 1. Socio-Religious Reform Movements This is a perennial favourite. Build a timeline matrix: who did what, when, and how. Go beyond the big names—cover the lesser-known reformers too, especially their works and organisations. Understand their ideological leanings: rationalist vs revivalist. Visual tools like maps and charts help immensely for retention. 2. Movements – Tribal, Peasant, Labour From Birsa Munda to Tebhaga, Telangana, Eka, and even Baba Ramchandra — UPSC has dipped into all. This segment often gets ignored, but it consistently throws up questions, directly or through elimination. Use maps and regional linkages to grasp the spread and leadership of these movements. 3. Acts and Laws Memorise the Charter Acts cold. Post-1909, every act needs detailed attention. Focus on 1935 Government of India Act, Cripps Mission, and Cabinet Mission. These are UPSC favourites. Know their features, context, and timeline inside out. Remember that question on the RIN Mutiny vs Cabinet Mission? It’s a reminder that timeline is king here. --- 4. Coming of Europeans & British Consolidation This is gaining visibility again. Yes, the chapters are bulky, especially those with wars and treaties. But do not skip them. Cover at least 7–8 pages of solid notes (preferably from a good coaching compilation). Key events like Carnatic Wars, Battle of Buxar, and Regulating Act 1773 often find indirect mention. 5. Mahatma Gandhi This deserves a separate mention. Gandhi is not just a person; he’s a category in UPSC. Whatever you’ve read — his ideology, movements, pacts, role in specific events — revise and internalise. Even if he doesn’t appear directly in a question, he often helps in elimination. Final Word: Yes, the number of Modern History questions has dipped in recent years. The age of over-investing in this section is fading. But the good news? Whatever is being asked is completely doable from your books and notes. Focused revision will take you through. These are the final days. Load up. Heroes and sheroes — fuel that fire with your effort. Finish strong.

Medieval History- Long, boring but still a part of your syllabus. I know a lot of people say, "Leave Medieval, it’s not worth it." And honestly, if you’ve never touched it till now and you’re low on time—it's okay to skip. But—here’s the thing: what if a really simple, straightforward question comes from this section and you miss it? It hurts more than the tough ones. It can shake your confidence. So, if you’ve got even basic notes or a general idea, then at least cover these areas properly. They don’t take forever, and they’re absolutely worth it. 1. Bhakti and Sufi Movements – You Can’t Afford to Miss This Between the two, Bhakti gets more love from UPSC. Questions often ask about specific saints—their philosophy, the region they came from, time period, and even the kings they were associated with. And yes, UPSC loves to mess around with timelines. What to do: Make a simple table or chart—Saint | Region | Beliefs | Century | Patron. Stick to the famous ones: Kabir, Mirabai, Chaitanya, Basavanna, Alvars, Nayanars, and so on. 2. Delhi Sultanate – Don’t Just Focus on the Rulers Surprisingly, questions here are more about administration, architecture, and weird terminologies. Still, have a general idea of who did what—Alauddin Khilji’s reforms, Iltutmish’s iqta system, Muhammad bin Tughlaq’s experiments, etc. Keep it light—just know the key points. Don’t go too deep. 3. Mughal Administration – This is Still a Hot Zone Every year people say "Akbar is done to death." But guess what? You can still see him swimming in your D day paper in one or another form. Same for Shah Jahan, especially through architecture and art. What to focus on: Policies (Sulh-i-Kul, Din-i-Ilahi) Mansabdari system Art, music, architecture (like Fatehpur Sikri, miniature paintings) Important terms and personalities linked to the court. If you’ve got time to put effort anywhere in Medieval, this is where to do it. 4. Regional Kingdoms – Don’t Try to Do Everything There are tons of small kingdoms and it’s hard to remember them all. But UPSC has its favorites—mainlya Vijayanagara and Bahmani. What to do: Make a rough map + timeline of major ones. For Vijayanagara and Bahmani—read them properly: rulers, architecture, administration, foreign travelers’ accounts, etc. --- Final Word: Yes, there’s a lot. And yes, time is short. But don’t let Medieval History be a complete blind spot. Even doing just these 4 areas can save you from silly mistakes. Also, I know messages are too big and it is taking your precious time. I am just trying to be thorough and to emphasize on what really matters. Let's hope it matters in the end! All the best.

Ancient history 1. Buddhism & Jainism – Goes without saying. Buddhism’s been squeezed dry; UPSC might pivot to Jainism soon. Read both alongside their literature—Tripitakas, Agamas. Questions often mix doctrine with texts. Expect curveballs here. 2. Mauryan Empire – A UPSC darling. Overlap it with Art & Culture—Ashokan pillars, stupas, Mauryan polish. Administrative structure, edicts (cram them), and inscriptions are gold. Learn the terms. They pop up often. 3. Gupta Empire – Think Mauryas, but more cultural. Same pattern—coins, polity, art, literature, and science. Kalidasa to Aryabhata, all fair game. This is where temple architecture begins—link it smartly. 4. Timeline Clarity – Know who ruled when. When did Satavahanas rise (not exact year—century is enough)? What was happening in the south simultaneously (Sangam)? Kushanas—especially Kanishka—deserve attention. 5. Harappan Civilization – Basics, then stop. NCERT + standard terms = enough. Don’t go chasing fringe theories. UPSC may throw a rare-site question, but depth > width. After this, slide into Mahajanapadas basics—just the essentials. 6. Harshavardhana – An emerging favorite. He’s subtle but gaining ground. Look into Xuanzang’s visit, Kannauj, Prayag Sabha, Banabhatta. A small question from here can sneak in easily. 7. Sangam Age – Short but sharp. Get the timeline right (parallel to North India), understand social structure, key terminologies (velirs, kaviyars, etc.), and economic life. UPSC loves cultural juxtapositions here. Cover fast if anything was left out. Medievel, modern coming soon. All the best.

International Relations. Let’s get this straight. IR questions are increasing, and they come in various unpredictable forms. Before jumping into what to do, here’s what not to do: --- What NOT to Do: 1. Don’t cram PT365 blindly. Too much content, too little retention. You don’t need to memorize every bordering country of some obscure place just because it made the news for a day. 2. Don’t go into Mains mode. Analytical understanding is great—but not here. Prelims wants facts, not frameworks. Keep your answers sharp, not smart. --- What You Should Do: 1. Tame the randomness. Watch “Places in News” marathons (e.g., Sudarshan Lodha, UPSC Pathshala). These cover offbeat, low-profile regions—exactly the kind UPSC loves to test. 2. For bilateral relations – focus on pacts, not pages. UPSC cares about agreements, treaties, defence cooperation. You don’t need numbers, but have a rough idea of what, why, and when. 3. Cram key international reports and their organisations. World Bank, IMF, WEF, UNEP, etc. This area has been quiet lately—but trust UPSC to surprise you with a comeback. 4. Know your global groupings. Who’s a member, when was it formed, who joined recently, and—most importantly—is India a part of it or not? Watch out for similar-sounding organisations. 5. Track major global summits & outcomes. Think G20, G7, WTO, COPs of UNFCCC. These often overlap with environment, trade, and diplomacy. 6. Overlay IR with maps. Geography and IR often go hand-in-hand. Trade routes, conflicts, and regional alliances—all have a map story. Map-based recall can unlock an extra edge. --- Pro Tip: UPSC is obsessed with global turmoil—coups, civil wars, famines, invasions, energy crises. Whenever you spot these in the news, flag them. They’re high-probability zones. --- Final Thought: You don’t have to study everything. You just have to study intelligently. Focused prep beats mindless coverage. Stay sharp. Stay confident.

Environment. Environment feels endless. And truth is—2–3 questions will come that are straight above your head. But if you play it smart, you can lock in the rest. Just focus where it matters. Here’s what must be ticked off: --- 1. Basic Concepts – Know Just Enough Medium importance. Don’t get lost. Focus on: ecological niche, ecotone, cycles, ecoline. Source: PMF IAS starting chapters. That’s more than enough. --- 2. Forests – Understated, High Yield Read the latest ISFR report (just key highlights). Understand forest definitions. Mangroves – very important. UPSC loves asking around these. --- 3. Conventions & Laws – Reliable Scoring Zone National + international. Pick any standard source. Give special attention to Forest Rights Act, CAMPA, etc. UPSC asks them in depth—so remember vivid details. --- 4. Pollution – One Clear Question Expected Focus on: Pollution indices (AQI, NAQI, etc.) Chemicals in news (especially banned ones) Pollution rules – biomedical, plastic, etc. --- 5. Climate Change – Interconnected With Everything This topic blends into others. Know all COPs, SDGs, and what India is doing (missions, targets). Keep an eye on key reports and climate indices. --- 6. Biodiversity – The Core of Environment This is where UPSC gets serious. Focus on species behaviour, not just IUCN tags. Learn Schedule 1 & 2 animals under WPA. National Parks – state, major species, any river. Ramsar sites – learn them state-wise. WLS – Just do the important ones. Follow PYQ trend. Don’t try to cover everything. Focus on what’s predictable and scoring. Keep going.

Science and tech can be a goldmine to those who answer it well. Few topics are all time favourite of UPSC. These themes along with your developed intuition can help you alot. 1. Biotechnology & Genetics This is UPSC's all-time favourite—you simply cannot afford to skip it. Cover everything from recombinant DNA, genome editing (CRISPR), bioethics, GM crops to DNA-based vaccines. Don’t forget the medical tech dimension: mRNA, RT-PCR, disease surveillance systems, and vaccine development pipelines. How to prepare: Revise Class 12 NCERT Biology, especially the biotech chapters. Go through a yearly current affairs compilation. If time permits, watch Shivin Sir’s 3-4 hour lecture on YouTube—it’s a concise masterclass. --- 2. Space Technology While not asked every year, this is a high-yield topic—you can expect a question every alternate year. Focus on ISRO’s recent missions, satellite types, launch vehicles, and comparisons with global space programs like NASA, ESA, and Artemis. Pro-tip: Even older satellites and their applications are fair game. Keep a short comparative table for missions ready. --- 3. Emerging Technologies This is where UPSC gets trendy. Think nanotech, robotics, 3D printing, blockchain, IoT, and yes—even when Elon Musk breathes in a new fancy way, UPSC listens. How to prepare: Pick techs in news and understand them in layman terms. Most questions will be direct and conceptual—so don’t complicate. Maintain a list of new-age terms and their real-world applications. --- 4. Defence Technology If Operation Sindoor had occurred a month earlier, this topic might've been your golden ticket. Usually, the trend is 1 question every 3 years, but when it comes, it matters. Don’t get lost in excessive jargon. How to prepare: Watch the Physics Wallah defence tech video—it gives a clean overview. Know key Indian systems (Agni, BrahMos, Akash) and compare with US/Russian counterparts. Focus on indigenous defense tech + global collaborations. --- 5. Advanced Materials This overlaps with other domains but is beloved by UPSC. Think graphene, carbon nanotubes, aerogels, shape memory alloys. These sound complex—but UPSC frames them in easy, conceptual terms. How to prepare: Create a one-pager cheat sheet of common advanced materials. Link each to applications—in energy, electronics, medicine, etc. --- 6. Information and Communication Technology This one is a straight-shooter. Questions revolve around AI, ML, blockchain, cloud computing, deepfakes, and more. How to prepare: Look at concepts from a comparative lens (AI vs ML, blockchain vs traditional databases). Relate tech to governance and ethics—Digital India, cybersecurity, digital payments. --- 7. Energy Arguably the dark horse of this year—quiet but explosively important. From Green Hydrogen, Nuclear Fusion, to Solar Tech and Battery Storage, this domain is where technology meets climate action. How to prepare: Study missions like the National Green Hydrogen Mission. Understand reactor types, storage tech, and India's clean energy commitments. Watch for tech-enabled policy initiatives like PM-KUSUM and ISA. --- Final Word These topics will echo through your exam, directly or in disguised form. Stay alert, be smart, and focus on concept clarity + current relevance. And hey, you’re not on YouTube, but if this roadmap helps, do give it a mental thumbs-up—or even a thumbs-down if it doesn’t serve you. This isn’t about fluff. It’s about getting you what actually matters. All the best. Go work on it. Fast!

Hi. These are the must-revise areas in Geography—refined from years of PYQ patterns and UPSC's evolving focus. Not an exhaustive list, but a highly impactful one. --- 1. Drainage Patterns (Rivers) UPSC has a clear bias towards lesser-known rivers—especially those flowing eastward or westward. Pay attention to: Origin and flow direction. Rivers that form wetlands or feed specific lakes. Interlinking of rivers and catchment areas. Strategy: Study major and minor rivers spatially. Don’t ignore rivers in the Western Ghats or central India—they often show up in surprise questions. --- 2. Natural Vegetation Expect direct, factual questions here. It also overlaps with the Environment section, especially in forest types and biodiversity. Reference: A selective read of GC Leong helps. Hack: Short on time? Watch a reliable explainer video. But whatever you do—understand the logic behind vegetation distribution. --- 3. Soil Types Cover both major and minor soils. Focus on: Crop-soil compatibility. Special traits (e.g., black soil for cotton). NPK composition of soils. Soil degradation and conservation techniques. Pro tip: Link this with Agriculture—UPSC loves crossover questions. --- 4. Minerals & Resources This has become a hotspot for questions lately. Cover both conventional and rare minerals. Focus on distribution, industries, and strategic importance. Study the MMDR Act—questions have been asked straight from it. Watch Tip: Sudarshan Gurjar’s mineral series offers a strong conceptual base. --- 5. Landforms The basics matter more than you think. Fluvial, Aeolian, Glacial landforms. Plate tectonics and types of mountains. Recommendation: NCERT (Class 11 Physical Geography) is more than enough. Don't lose sleep over exotic landform phenomena—but know the fundamental ones cold. --- 6. Mapping (Applied) Mapping is vast—and yes, you can’t “cover it all.” But you can cover the essentials: Seas & Countries: Know your maritime borders. Mountains & Passes: Especially Himalayas, Western Ghats, Northeast. Deserts: Both Indian (Thar) and global. Rivers Across Borders: (e.g., Mekong, Brahmaputra, Nile) Lakes & Wetlands: From Chilika to Lake Victoria. Ports: Old and new, especially those in strategic or economic news. Bonus Tip: Places in news (from IR or Environment prep) often show up here. --- Final Word: You've already likely done Monsoon and Oceanography several times—they’re staples. The purpose of this list is to realign your focus toward high-impact zones that candidates often overlook while over-preparing in silos. It’s not a "cover-all" list—it's a "cover-the-core" list. If it helped, let me know through a thumbs up .Your feedback powers the next layer.

In case you need it, I’m forwarding a few lists of important topics to revise in these last days.These were made by me last year. A lot of things may have changed since then, but the basics usually remain the same. And one more thing- Let Telegram panic, you don’t. Right now, staying calm and revising what you already know is far more valuable than chasing every new PDF and every fearful discussion online.

Read it only when you have time. It’s very normal in these last few days to continuously get “what if” thoughts. “What if CSAT goes crazy this year?” “What if cutoff shoots up?” “What if the questions come from the one area I left?” And suddenly, you start forgetting things as basic as the Preamble. For those who missed last year’s cutoff by 1–2 marks, these thoughts hit even harder. That feeling stays. Coaching discussions, random analyses, “even years mein CSAT tough ho jata hai”, cutoff predictions -all of it slowly occupies your mind. You feel this urge to read everything together, revise everything at once, cover every possible loophole. And then, you realise you cannot read anything at all. Open mocks sometimes add even more anxiety. One bad score and your mind starts preparing for failure before the exam has even happened. But genuinely answer this to yourself, how do these thoughts help you? In my initial attempts, these thoughts mentally paralysed me. Slowly, I entered that phase of: “Ab jo hoga dekha jayega.” And then the more dangerous one: “Agli baar dekhenge.” And strangely, that feels comforting. We slow down. We stop pushing ourselves. We just wait for the exam day to come somehow. If we clear, well and good. But if we don’t, the entire next year is spent regretting these exact 15–20 days. So I genuinely request you, Please stop overprocessing events that haven’t happened yet. The exam is not asking you to become a different person in the next two weeks. It is simply asking you to stay stable. Read whatever gives you confidence. Revise what you already know. Give 2–3 mocks if they help you stay in rhythm. Focus a lot on PYQs. You already know all this. So just do it sincerely. Don’t try to consume new sources now just because fear is making you feel incomplete. No one feels fully prepared before prelims. No one. And after that, let it unfold. Pray that it happens in your favour. That’s all you can really do. Thala has already said it best: “Control the controllables.” Bas wahi karo. All the best. You are far more prepared than your anxiety is allowing you to believe right now.
