Would it not burden the aspirants?
The big problem we all are facing is that there are simply too many questions – a lot of them meaningless – around the Internet. You can either do those questions or clear the Civil Services – but not both.
Daily Mains Marathon questions do not compromise your existing preparation. Instead, it will supplement your efforts;
UPSC Exam Coverage: Many questions asked in the UPSC General Studies papers, even in the 2021 UPSC mains examination, were covered under Mains Marathon. This time also, we would be framing questions, on the same line, as per the demand of the examination.
Habit formation: Attempting the questions daily will form a habit of writing answers with speed and logic.
Daily Manageable questions: No. of questions will be such that everyone can form the habit of answer writing without losing focus on other areas of the syllabus like optional, essay, and prelims. An aspirant will have to just devote half an hour to cover questions.
About the questions and how to cover them?

- You are expected to spend not more than 10-12 minutes on each question – in essence limiting your answer writing time to between 20 -30 minutes.
- Links will be provided – which should be read and digested in another 30 -40 minutes. In essence, the exercise, even when done at a slow pace, should help you do a meaningful Answer Writing Practice in between 1 hour to 90 Minutes, but never more than that.
