Hi guys, so the fear around essay and drop in marks (including mine) is real. I tried to analyse why and found some answers. This content is based on self analysis of 50+ toppers copies and my learning from so many years Hope you like it. People who are giving mains do not repeat the mistakes, and people preparing learn this approach abhi se. Thinking to do entire essay course for free on YouTube, depending on your reactions. https://youtu.be/fAvx0uML92A?si=R_VEkkP3S_7mu_XG

Life update (Been long time) So three months back on may 13, i had joined Prayas AI (a very good paying job) and for some unavoidable circumstances the company shut down! Over the last three months, i lived at the boss’s home, some days at friends home, shifting here and there! And then i took up a gamble by starting my own venture in form of Aspirants hub (big financial gamble too), employed more than 30 people, bleeding money at the start! My dad kept on saying in last few months (especially the days were sales looked dim) “Tension nhi lene ka, You failed at UPSC and within a year started earning decently, landed a top job which in today’s job market even Science background students may struggle at (i come from arts background so my brother use to always tease me) so meri bacchi ye bhi ek aur phase hain manage hojayega, Baki kuch nhi bhi hua toh main hoon na” He kept supporting me through all phases with his kind words! I don’t know what future holds but just few days back found myself an apartment to live in! Yes Happy House warming to me! (Infact, After shifting My dad ordered me, let me pay the rent for you here for a while, which i politely declined, you know how sometimes we have our own Zidd of doing it by our own and not asking for help until life is about to break you apart)! Regardless guys, Shifted here now, and once settled told my dad and mom to come and live here with me for a few days, it’s comfortable, will cook for you. He told me “You start excersing first only then i will come, last three months have taken a toll on your health” (He is a doctor and reads blood tests very well)! And this line from him made me feel loved, just wanted to tell you all when you feel Loved cherish it! Only I know how past three months have passed (writing this at 3:45 a.m- Might post at some other time) Thank you all of you to be standing with me! Love you all! Hopefully will post a family photo when my family visits (of-course only once i start exercising) - Ajju

If I am posting any question it is to only test your basics, to give you a confidence boost that even easy questions get wrong by 50% plus people! All we need to do is do basics right!

FOR PRELIMS 2027 ASPIRANTS: THE CURRENT AFFAIRS PROBLEM 📰 If current affairs is the part of your preparation that quietly keeps collapsing: newspapers piling up, half-read monthly magazines, "CA baad me cover kar lenge" I want to show you something. Not sell you something. Show you. There is a system, and it is deliberately unglamorous: ✅ 2 pages a day — 10 minutes ✅ Sunday revision — 30 minutes ✅ Monthly booklet revision — 1 hour ✅ 60 MCQs every month — 50 minutes Barely 8 hours a month. That is the entire system. And what do those 8 hours buy? Last year, 25 questions in Prelims were hit from these very notes. In just 273 pages, 25 questions, unlike most institues 2000+ pages. I am not asking you to believe me: the hits document is public, question by question. Open it and count yourself: t.me/CAmadeeasyy/481 Right now, the daily 2-pagers are open in the group for everyone: no payment. But one honest condition before you join. This system does not work for people who collect resources. It works for people who show up. 10 minutes a day sounds so easy that everyone believes they will do it. Easy is what gets postponed, "Kal se pakka" And tomorrow never comes. So join only if you can give it 10 disciplined minutes a day. 👉 t.me/CAmadeeasyy (Prelims 2027 Prep has begun) ~ Shubham Ajmera

My Mains Result!!! Hello all, this is Prashant Gupta. Many of you have texted me asking for my mains result. Since I have been actively sending posts regarding CSE preparation, it's only fair that i share my mains result. I didn't clear Mains 2024. This was my fourth attempt and third mains. To be honest, I was expecting a positive outcome this time. Of all the attempts, this one was the most intense and most passionate one. On my part, I did all that an ideal student would do. I made proper notes, incorporated diagrams, prepared beforehand Introduction and conclusions, did PYQ analysis and everything else. I cannot conclusively say what did not work. Maybe it was Optional. Maybe it was not. Who knows. Only when the marksheet is released after 4-5 months will I be better able to analyse. Anyway, this mains result is a grim reminder that even if you do everything right, chances are that you might encounter a failure. Nevertheless, working hard and giving efforts minimises the randomness associated with the result. What should you do? Should you just leave the matter to luck? Absolutely not. You should work even harder and with more dedication. But also acknowledge that certain things are beyond your control. Keep faith in your efforts and keep grinding. Be courageous to face all the failures. Things may not work out in your first attempt, or in your second attempt or even worse would happen. But, somehow someday everything will align just perfectly and you will see your dreams come true. Till the time you are facing failures, face them as if you had infinite ability to bear pain and disappointment. Am I quitting? No.In the words of Nietzsche, "He who has a Why to live, can bear almost any "how". I did not enter this journey only to give up midway. I did not enter this journey because I wanted to earn good money or gain power or to make my parents' proud. Neither did I start preparing because I wished for high status in society. I began preparation because I wanted to make an impact. I am doing this for my contentment (maybe I'm selfish in some sense). The question of giving up does not arise at this point. There's only a slight shift in approach that i would also focus on State PCS exams. Those who are worried about being labelled a failure, you need to hear this. You are not defined by your failures. You are not someone who didn't clear Prelims or Mains. You are someone who fought with courage. You will be defined by your passion, your hard work, your grit and your resilience. You will be seen as someone who remained focussed when everything around you seemed to crumble. You are the Jon Snow of "This Battle Of Bastards". You should fight even if you are the last one standing and you've lost everything already.

Can be seen as a Stop Gap arrangement for some or Plan B turned plan A for others. Last date tomorrow
