Do prepare for a question on Election commission in GS2. For the same you can use South Africa's model of a multi partisan panel for appointment as a way forward. #mains26

1. CA till 17th July are updated in CA Playground. We will also add a new tab in CA Playground by end of today - CA Intros. It will have all the one liner CA events that can be used just after the Introduction to emphasize the CA awareness. This is a very good practice and you can see it in all copies ranging from Jagriti Awasthi to Aditya Srivastava to Anuj Agnihotri. Examples : In SHGs, just after intro can use this : Recently, Bibi Fatima's SHG won the United Nations' Equator Prize 2025 Similarly, in Industrial Growth : Recently, WEF announced the establishment of the fourth Industrial Revolution Center in Andhra Pradesh OR in IVC questions : Recently, remains of the 8,000-year-old Harappan civilization were found in Bhirrana HR. CA Intros will be available to premium users of CA Playground. AS we have already listed CA themes here, the one liner intros will complete the entire CA coverage for Mains 2026 - completing the dual use CA framework discussed here. 2. Testing on Pluto underway. @upscseeproanalytics

Now, getting down to brass tacks: • Most people face issues with writing more theory in section A and not linking case studies to theory. Ethics is one paper where EXAMPLES are mandatory. Examples and keywords substantiate your answer. For example, in a question on the doctrine of double effect - if you give the example of the Covid lockdown OR demonetization - you have hit the bull's eye. It gives a clear signal to the examiner that you understand the crux of the question. And when you make the examiner's job easier, your path to securing good marks becomes a lot easier. On the contrary, trying to flex intellectual superiority by using complex words and arguments will almost always result in low score. • Other thing people struggle with are point generation. In ethics, the syllabus is your ultimate framework. To make an answer multidimensional from an ethics point of view - try to see if you can incorporate one point from each part of the syllabus. For example, in a quote-based question - write one point each from attitude, aptitude, emotional intelligence, public service, etc. It will naturally elevate your answers. It can also be used generally. • Also, one mistake people make is not linking theories in case studies. In any case study involving a public position, you can link it to deontology. In cases of compassion, write categorical imperative, etc. Case studies are meant to test your reasoning and problem-solving - but you should demonstrate ethical reasoning while making decisions, and it should show in your case study answer. • Another thing is not writing answers from an ethics point of view. In ethics, you should avoid writing general GS stuff. Instead, adopt an ethics-focused breadth approach. You can always generate more points by using the syllabus as a f/w, also by doing passes in your answer writing - like using a thinker pass (Sutherland, Pestalozzi), religion pass, or quote pass (adding quotes like "Justice is fairness") to add dimensions to your answers. • To do this, once you get the paper, in the first five minutes - try to go over any 2 case studies. Mark the stakeholders, find ethical dilemmas, and write the keywords on the paper. Ideally, the first thing you should do when you receive each paper - write what you must do for each question - at the top - write - use FD/SDG, use committees, use keywords (talking about general GS here). Now go over the questions, and whatever keywords, current affairs, or quotes come to your mind - write them beside the question. This is the flash recall. Once you are in the flow, such fine points will be difficult to recall. Also, as the time crunch comes, the fight-or-flight response will degrade your recall. Thus, having such content already offloaded onto the paper will help you in crunch time. I am adding my sample ethics keyword/ strategy notes for reference. They contain keywords, the passes I had referred to, and the strategies used by toppers. Aditya Srivastava used to vary his first 3-4 answers - in the sense that - in one, he used all examples; in another, he dropped diagrams; in some - he wrote one extra dimension on how to inculcate that particular value. My strategy - distilled - is also included at the end. Hope it helps !! @upscseeproanalytics 2/2

Ethics is one subject where efforts are proportional to marks. Still, many people struggle with ethics as: 1. The exam is positioned on day 3 - when you have already written 4 papers. Exhaustion sets in by then, the body is at its breaking point - and the cumulative effect of sleep deficiency over the days is at its peak. It's common to see people using Volini in the Mains hall to get over the pain in their hands. 2. Despite the peculiar positioning, it's one of the most rigorous papers. It demands a crystal-clear understanding of concepts and contains both applied and theory sections. And to add to that, it is one of the lengthiest papers after the optional. Many people get low marks just because they are unable to complete the paper on time. 3. UPSC has also been varying a few things. In case studies, they have tried to bamboozle candidates by reversing the order of questions. In 2022, in case studies, they asked for the course of action first and then the options. People who have a set way of writing - first intro, then stakeholders, then dilemmas, then options, and finally course of action - felt betrayed by the questions. Still, there is a way to score in ethics. Having personally scored 117 and 121 with no coaching and only the internet - I feel it can be done. In my first attempt, I started prep from January and had left ethics to be completed in the time between Prelims and Mains - and it was enough, I feel. I found Varun Jain's lectures somewhere and just watched them 2-3x. SAME RESOURCE - MULTIPLE TIMES. In the 2024 Mains, I watched Mudit Jain Sir's lectures for case studies and ethics answer writing. Recommended if you have time. @upscseeproanalytics 1/2
