Hello. There is no guarantee for either of those options. But most probably UPSC will try to go back to the normal cycle of conducting the examination. According to our thinking UPSC can very well conduct it in June / July next year. But this is just our opinion 🙂

MGP 2021 can be useful for you if you guide yourself based on its study plan in a disciplined manner.
This contains of Self Assesment Tests in mid week to ensure you are on right path of study plan for the week.
Also, these tests provide you with an answer writing practise before writing the tests that are actually evaluated. They will also serve you the purpose of good question bank.
The launches MGP 2021 ensure that you take up Paper wise and keep completing them and revising them. It seeks out the randomness of taking up any topic and study.
While there will be further batches of MGP 2021 we feel the current plan will complement your preparation the best as it winds up your syllabus revision of 3 times by December and provide you ample time to dedicate to Prelims as well as to generate value addition for your Mains syllabus.

Same query as rohan91. Will there be a new batch of mgp 2021? If not, then I will join the current batch. I can still make up for lost time. Pls provide some clarity as it will help me make a decision.
