Hi Vikram, How are you? Hope you are good and enjoying cold European winters! I am Shweta this side, Preparing for UPSC2022! This will be last (2nd) chance and I am aiming for IFS! I have been following you quite a long for guidance and thanks for the great blogs, quite useful and to be honest some are really funny! I had great time while reading some! Keep writing! I have messaged you here to ask about the test series. As I am preparing my own, it's quite a tedious job to find the good test series which can be exam oriented! Definitely, every year UPSC changing the pattern, so its hard to find the perfect one but to be honest, I really need help in that! In my first attempt, I lagged solving test series to a optimum no. where I can get confidence and this time, I want to rectify that mistake! Please do share your views on it ! I know, you might be busy but it will be great help! Hoping for positive response!

Best Regards,
Shweta

"ESSAY KAISE? " by Vikram Grewal AIR 51 UPSC CSE 2018

'Brevity is the soul of wit,' they say. UPSC loves brevity. And if you can pour a little wit in it, their day is made. Before we delve into the ESSAY paper for Civil Services Exam, I would just like to point out that this article is going to be brief. I won't really instruct or implore you to follow any guidelines or apply any 'tips and tricks', my dear friend. *Because essay is a matter of the heart and mind. And every pair is as beautiful and insightful. So we'll talk about the 'soul' instead. (*Note: never start a sentence with 'because'- a teacher once told me.) (**Also note: question all advice- nothing is sacred. THIS PAPER gives you room to experiment.)    I scored 161 Marks in Essay this year. Although I respect the fact that without these marks my rank would've been 'not-so-good', yet I view it as a considerably minor issue when compared to the amount of fun I had while writing those 2 essays. (Or in fact most o...

The UPSC Book of Anything and Everything (mostly)- by Vikram Grewal (AIR 51)

These notes were made by me for Value addition to Mains answer-writing. They are arranged in the order of 'factual nuggets' or 'keywords' that can be sprinkled in your answer to either fight the mental block that we usually face while writing GS answers or just basically enhance the quality and uniqueness of the answers. Some parts like Cases, Laws, Vocab are such that they can fit anywhere in answers related to various themes. I hope you find these useful. Best wishes, V.G. List: 1. Important Political Thinkers (Page 2) 2. Some Sociologists (Page 12) 3. Greek Thinkers (Page 15) 4. ETHICS (Page 18)     ...Issues     ...Dilemmas     ...Keywords     ...Examples 5. QUOTES (Page 26) 6. Ethics Case Study Format (Page 36) 7. Law Comm. Reports (Page 38) 8. COMMITTEE REPORTS (Page 39) 9. Facts and Stats (Page 42) 10. Rights of the Vulnerable sections (Page 53) 11. 2nd ARC REPORT (Page 56) 12. Economic Survey 2017-18 (Page 61) 1...

The Complete UPSC Mains Notes Omnibus of Vikram Grewal (AIR 51)

Here I present to you the result of my efforts at making notes for Mains 2018. They are quite crisp and laden with Keywords. I have treated all GS papers as one comprehensive paper. Also, I have adopted a strictly 'One issue, One page' policy to enhance the effectiveness of answer writing. Apologies in advance if you find them unorganized or don't like my handwriting (or both). But well, that's how dynamic things are nowadays. What to do, dear friend? What to do!  Best wishes, V.G. There is an INDEX attached below- to scroll to specific topics. INDEX (Page no. ---- Topic) 3...Office of Governor 4...National Food Security Act (2013) 5...Solid Waste Management 6...List of National Policies      ...Double Burden of Nutrition 7...IBC amendments 8...Payment of Gratuity Amendments      ...Caste 9...Violence Against Women 10...Social Media Menace     ...Plastic Pollution 11...Lateral Entry in Bureaucracy 12...Problem ...
