“Let people say whatever they like, stick to your own convictions, and rest assured, the world will be at your feet. They say, ‘Have faith in this fellow or that fellow’, but I say, ‘Have faith in yourself first’, that’s the way. Have faith in yourself—all power is in you—be conscious and bring it out. Say, ‘I can do everything.’”- Swami Vivekananda. Swami Vivekananda nailed a brutal truth: the loudest noise in your life will always be other people's opinions. We constantly outsource our self-worth to friends, bosses, or strangers, desperately waiting for permission to feel capable. But real confidence doesn’t care about external applause. It lives in your quiet, stubborn convictions. When you stop diluting your choices just to fit in, you unlock an unshakeable inner power. Stop looking for a savior or a cheerleader. Own your path, trust your gut, and realize you already have the tools. Look at the chaos, ignore the critics, and say, "I've got this."

For those who feel they couldn’t do well take a small break. Then make a clear plan and strategy: do you want to continue with UPSC or not? If yes, plan how you will stay engaged throughout the year in a meaningful way. If no, look for an alternative that is suitable and constructive. And even then, if you’ve studied well for UPSC, there’s no point sitting idle and just revising endlessly. Get a healthy engagement alongside, keep revising, and keep your options open. You can always take attempts. If no, then decide a fruitful engaging positive career for yourself and get started for it. कुछ सपनों के मर जाने से जीवन नहीं मरा करता है। Ultimately, it’s your call, All of you. The most important thing: don’t take stress. If you ever feel low, just drop me a message. We’ll talk, we’ll meet. Because staying mentally, physically healthy and happy that matters a lot to me. Remember, I believe in each one of you. Each one of you is very important, to yourself, to your family, to your loved ones. Small setbacks, if any, should never demotivate you. मन का हो तो अच्छा, न हो तो और भी अच्छा। Keep smiling Stay happy Stay healthy लहरों से डर कर नौका पार नहीं होती, कोशिश करने वालों की हार नहीं होती। Thanks and Regards Manjul Kumar Tiwari 9667783823

A very good morning my dear students, My Honest Feedback and Review for UPSC GS Paper 1 and Paper 2 GS Paper 1 Though it was expected that the paper would be factual this year since they have to release the answer key and want to avoid too many challenges, I didn’t expect this type of fact-based questions. Many important core areas like Polity saw a reduced number of questions, which was shocking. In Polity especially, interpretation chances exist due to conflicts between Supreme Court judgments and stated facts, making questions more challenging. So this year, they definitely reduced the quality of questions from that area. Likewise, the other factual questions felt quite different, really very different and were opposite in nature to the type of questions we usually get in the exam. Overall, the paper was lengthy as well. There were few case study-type questions too. Those were relatively easier, but they were lengthy, so students didn’t have the confidence to read through and answer quickly. So overall the paper felt lengthy, different, tough and the cutoff will definitely be low. It will reduce by around fifteen to twenty marks compared to last year. Rest, once the official answer key is out, things will get clearer. A few challenges are also expected since answers will be contested after the key is released. GS Paper 2 “CSAT” At first glance, CSAT seemed difficult and completely different. And honestly, it was introduced differently this year because many committees and voices kept saying that too many Maths questions were making the paper biased towards students with an engineering background. So UPSC changed it. Sometimes when you change something, you don’t always know what the right substitute will be. This year, for the first time since 2011, they asked Interpersonal and Communication Skills questions, the kind typically seen in state PSC exams like UPPSC and UPSC hadn’t asked those before, so this was a fresh introduction. Passages were mixed, some questions were easy because, notably, even from small passages, there were two to three questions. So reading time wasn’t a major challenge. Answering them was okay because options were close. Now, coming to the Maths and Reasoning section, there were around 10-12 questions that were difficult, with 3-4 where there are chances of a mismatch. But unlike 2023 this year’s paper had a large number of doable questions from Maths: Arithmetic, LCM, HCF, Percentage, Ratio & Proportion, Averages, Time Speed & Distance, Unit Digit, Mixtures & Alligations, Partnership. And from Reasoning: Coding-Decoding, Directions, Syllogism and similar topics. The questions asked were very, very easy. I always say, “Selection of questions matters.” If you have covered PYQs, these questions were definitely doable. This time, scoring 160-190 in CSAT? Not impossible, but really difficult. Qualifying, however, was not a challenge at all. Real aptitude was in the selection of questions. I always say: do not leave Maths. And this time, those students who didn’t leave Maths and focused on the Arithmetic section they benefited the most. I have explained and pointed out every such question on YouTube, and they were very easy and simple. One more thing I have been saying again and again that increase your reading speed. In GS Paper 1 too, many students couldn’t finish the paper. Reading speed is something you must consciously build. If you develop it during CSAT preparation, it will reflect in GS as well. Don’t get lost reading slowly, comprehend fast and move forward. So, GS cutoff will be low. For CSAT, many are calling it difficult, but I’d call it a moderate paper. There were many doable questions, direct, basic concept-based questions that anyone who has started CSAT preparation would have covered in classes. Rest, All the very best. Loads of best wishes and blessings to all of you. For those who qualify easily, the cutoff will be clearer once the answer key is out. For those who are around the cutoff, start preparing for Mains right away.

A very good evening my super dear students, UPSC Prelims 2026 — Just 5 Days to Go. Now is not the time to panic or experiment. This is the time to stay relaxed, focused, and confident. Revise. Consolidate. Recall whatever you have already studied. Trust your preparation. Trust your natural instinct in the exam hall. Do not overthink and mark confidently. Whatever strategy has worked for you till now, follow that only. Neither be overconfident nor underconfident. Read every question very carefully. Do not miss a single word, statement, or keyword. Many times the entire meaning of question is changed through one small word. Facts matter a lot. Accuracy matters a lot. And this year even more. So before marking the answer: • Read the question properly • Read every statement carefully • Eliminate wisely • Then mark smartly and timely For CSAT also, stick to your own strategy. If confused, divide your paper into 3 slots: • First 40 minutes → Cover comprehension passages • Next 40 minutes → Solve questions from your strong areas • Last 40 minutes → Attempt the remaining manageable questions Do not waste too much time on one question. Revise Reasoning Topics and Number system thoroughly. Stay hydrated. Drink enough water. Eat light food so that your body feels active and fresh. If you are unable to sleep properly, don’t panic. It happens with almost everyone before the exam. “नींद नहीं आ रही तो ज़बरदस्ती ना करो, और पढ़ो, रात भर पढ़ो और जब थक जाओगे तो नींद आ जाएगी और उस समय 5-6 घंटे की नींद भी असरदार होगी।” Take deep breaths. Do some meditation. Keep your mind calm. For revision: • CSAT → Go through formula sheets and basic concepts of last 6 year’s PYQS • ⁠ • GS → Revise governance acts and schemes PDF shared by me, Bare Act of Constitution, environment, maps, PYQs, art and culture, your own short notes and fact based areas properly. Stay positive. Keep smiling. Believe in yourself. You’re better prepared than you think. All the very best and loads of blessings to all of you. Thanks and Regards Manjul Kumar Tiwari 9667783823

10 days to go: This is not the time to run after new books, new PDFs, or new strategies. This is the time to stay calm, composed, revise smartly, and trust your preparation. Focus on: • PYQs and revision • Static subjects and basics • Environment, Polity, Economy, Mapping • Current affairs consolidation • CSAT practice on alternate days • Mock analysis, not endless mock tests Remember: Accuracy matters more than random attempts. Sleep matters more than stress. A calm mind performs better than a panicked one. UPSC is often cleared not by the most anxious student, but by the one who stays composed in the exam hall. Avoid comparison. Avoid social media noise. Believe in your preparation. These 10 days are powerful. Handle them with clarity, confidence, and discipline and they can shape your career and life. Stay calm Stay relaxed Stay focused Stay positive Stay healthy Stay strong Love you all and loads of love and blessings!

A very good evening, my super dear students. I hope you all are doing fine and enjoying this phase of preparation. Now when around three weeks are left for the UPSC Prelims 2026, those of you who are taking the exam this year must have already covered the syllabus and attempted enough mock papers. Now it is time to revise them properly. Rest well, do meditation and exercises, keep yourself hydrated and fit. And for every query, any doubt, do reach out to me freely. Give your 200% because in these three weeks, yes, you can create a difference of 30+ marks with proper revision. It is important that your static and current affairs notes, whether basic notes or handwritten notes, are covered and revised properly once again. The mock papers you have solved, revise those as well. This is not the time to judge yourself. Ask yourself honestly, if you have devoted the last year sincerely, then you can take the risk, and you should take the risk, unless a very major portion is completely missed or left out. Otherwise, in this exam, Hardly a few people feel too confident. Everyone has some fear, and that is okay. It will always be there, pushing you to prepare even better. So revise at fast pace, and be relaxed. Keep smiling Keep rocking Loads of love and blessings!
