Schedule for the CSM, 2015 and CSP, 2016:

Dear Friends,

At the outset, I hope that all of you must have written the CSP, 2015 very well which makes you eligible to appear for CSM, 2015. As a serious aspirant of Civil Services, you must have started your preparation for CSM, without waiting for result. At this juncture, I would like to support you by way of sharing notes and conducting test series as delineated below.

Generally, some of the aspirants waste time waiting for result, which is not correct and mistake of a highest order. You are hardly left with anytime after the result.  I hope, none of you are in that category. If so, start your Main preparation today itself.

If some of you are not able to score around 105, as widely speculated to be cut-off mark for writing the Main exam, then also, it is advisable to take the Main test series with prudence and foresight. It will immensely help you in your CSP, 2016. It is to be noted that if you prepare for interview, CSM will become easier for you and similarly if you prepare for CSM, CSP would become much easier for you.  Further, it would be of great help to you in your CSM preparation in 2016. Please take it seriously and with confidence friends. Please note friends, no experience can be purchased and it can only be acquired through experience alone. You aim shall be getting top rank in UPSC final list, not simply to quality Prelims or Mains.

Schedule for CSM General Studies:

We will try to give some important questions in all 4 GS papers subject wise and you will be given 2 to 3 days time to write the answers on your own. Then model answers would be placed in the blog. Some important notes also will be shared with you in the blog. This will start from 1^st week of October, 2015.

CSM, Optional: Anthropology:

I would like to guide the students with Anthropology as optional. I will be giving 2 to 3 complete QP [both Paper I and paper II] with expected questions based on the analysis of previous years question papers. You will be given a week’s time to write the answers on your own. Then model answers or guide-lines how to write answer, would be provided to you in the blog. If any followers of the group, desire that I would evaluate their answer sheets and return to them, such requests would be considered on a specific case to case basis.

Civil Services Preliminary, 2016:

You can follow the schedule given last year and practice the subject wise tests placed in my blog for CSP, 2015. This task, you can complete on or before 15^th February, 2016. This year we will conduct test series with 10 CSP exams of GS I, similarly on UPSC pattern. In the GS-I, the first 3 to 4 test papers will focus mostly on basics, especially from NCERT and others similar sources. You will be tested with basic knowledge on each and every subject in these tests. Then 3 to 4 tests would be really testing your depth in the subjects. The remaining tests would be exactly on UPSC pattern. It means that out of 100 questions, 30 to 40 easy and simple questions which can be attempted by any fairly prepared aspirants; about 30 to 40 deeper questions set both on factual and applications which can be attempted by those aspirants who have mugged up the facts and understood the concepts and remaining 20 to 30 questions which are really difficult to answer, but experienced or skillful aspirants who really understood the subject with minute details and can make intelligent guess-work, would be able to answer.

It is pleasure to get a feedback from some of the followers of the blog over phone and through blog that our last year test series helped in a big way. I hope this schedule also would help you in your endeavor and get you an edge over others.  

Note: Due to paucity of time and busy schedule of my office, there may be short or more delay in implementing the above exam schedule. Otherwise, every effort would be made to stick to the schedule.

Wish you best of luck.  

Yours friendly
