DECODING UPSC

Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing well. I know this post-August phase is probably one of the least productive phases for most aspirants. But honestly, this is also the phase that can quietly seal your fate before you even fill the next CSE form in February. Lately, I’ve been receiving a lot of doubts and queries about how to actually utilise these Golden 90 Days till the end of December. I’ll soon address these questions and share my honest suggestions on what to focus on, what to avoid, and how to manage multiple priorities in the coming weeks. These are some of the broad areas around which I’ve been getting queries: • How to become Mains-ready by December • How to manage UPSC + UPPSC/other State PCS together • Balancing Mains, Optional and Prelims • CSAT fear — what, how and when to start • Interview preparation — DAF, hobbies, current affairs, etc. • 2026 Mains analysis — expected cut-off, result date and what to do afterwards • Plan B and the upcoming changes in UPSC I’ll try to address these in the coming days. And if there’s something else that you feel is genuinely worth discussing at this stage, feel free to DM me. I’ll try my best to help you figure things out — like a brother, not just as a mentor.
