I’m a Mentor of Prelims Guidance Program. Ask me anything about Prelims Preparation.

  What is your biggest Prelims Fear?  

  • Stuck in the vicious cycle of Prelims failure
  • Preparation Without Mentorship
  • Static subjects & Current Affairs
  • CSAT
  • Revision
  • FOMO & Exam pressure

      

Most UPSC aspirants believe that if they study more, they will clear Prelims. That’s not true.

Prelims is not about how much you know.   Prelims is about:  

  • PYQ pattern familiarity & current affairs consolidation
  • Repeated revision of limited sources
  • Ruthless mock test discipline & strict time management
  • Mindful MCQ Solving byovercoming silly mistakes
  • Sharp option-elimination practice

      

  Many students fail because:  

  • They read randomly (No Direction)
  • They revise without structure (No strategy)
  • They fail to learn from mistakes (No guidance)


Hard work without direction is the biggest trap in UPSC.

       


Mentors in Prelims Guidance Program help students understand what to focus on and how to approach Prelims in a more structured way. If you’re working hard but still feeling stuck, it’s usually a direction problem, not a capability problem.

Hello Shyam

Prelims Sprint is a one stop solution for your prelims preparation that includes Content Building Classes, SFG Level 2+FLTs, PYQs Analysis Classes and Exclusive Prelims Current Affairs Classes where as PGP is a Mentor led Program.

Considering your Marks, you need to have a one on one session with a Mentor for detailed discussion and further strategy formulation.

Same here... And I don't want this to repeat in my 4th attempt.


After careful introspection, I realised my mistakes- 1. Two many sources and 2. Lack of proper revision.

Full-fledged one-to-one prelims mentorship is not part of the program.

However, y
ou will get guidance through live test discussions and doubt-clearing sessions.

Prelims isn’t about selecting the best. It’s about decisively eliminating the rest.
