Urgent : Candidature Cancellation
The UPSC has again started sending out notices cancelling candidatures of several students based on EWS related document issues.
I have received several emails, calls, and messages regarding the same.
Would be studying the matter for a day, and calling for a video conference for the affected candidates.
In a previous instance, we were able to get a SC order before the Mains 2023 to allow a set of other candidates to appear in the Mains this year. These students are different from the ones who are getting the cancellation notices now and the issues with respect to EWS documents are also different.
Prior to that, we also engaged in an earlier issue of several students whose candidatures were cancelled post them appearing for the interview in 2023.
However, this points to a larger issue of lack of cohesiveness with respect to implementation of EWS policy.
I will seek details of students tomorrow by circulating a form, and then set up a conference call this weekend itself.
Prima facie, we would have to undertake legal recourse; and as always, we would be taking this up pro bono.
Thank you,
Atish Mathur
Handout 2 : Magna Carta Foundation 2024 : Module 1 : Polity & Governance : Theme 1 : Introduction to Law & Policy : Topic - 6
Important : Given the high utility of this topic for both the Prelims and the Mains as well as the non availability of any source that deals with this topic effectively, I have deliberately written this handout in a descriptive manner.
These personally written handwritten notes, serve as a single source for the respective topics along with PYQ Analysis & PYQs.
Thank you.

Update : Mains 2023 Admit Cards
The UPSC has started sending out communication to candidates whose admit cards have been withheld.
Some of you may be able to download admit cards now while some of you would have got communication stating your candidature has been cancelled. It also means that the process is in process. Some of you may have also not recieved any communication and also might not be able to download admit cards.
In any case, we have to start getting prepped. In response to a lot of emails, please fill the form below if the issue affects you directly, so that we can start getting organised with our efforts given the limited amount of time left for the Mains 2023.
Again, please do not panic, do not let these difficult times affect the last few days to core Mains Prep.
Whatever needs to be done, shall be done.

Urgent : Mains 2023 Admit Cards
Hello,
I have recieved a lot of emails stating that students are not able to download their admit cards for the Mains 2023.
Please read this carefully.
1. You may be seeing an error that asks you to fill your details correctly.
2. You may just just be seeing an error without any justification.
There could be the following reasons for the above :
A. There might be a technical back end issue.
B. There might be an issue with your DAF I, wherein the UPSC might ask for a clarification.
This is what we are going to do :
1. You will write an email to UPSC marking the subject as urgent and ask for a formal status. You will keep writing one email every 2 days as a follow up to the prevoius email.
2. You will try and call them whenever you take a break from your preparation, and though it does have much legal significance, please try and record that conversation you have the helpline number.
3. If you are unable to view or download your admit card, please immediately let me know at contact@atishmathur.com with the subject line : Mains 2023 Admit Card. This would help immensely immediately and later as well.
4. For those of you who are in Delhi, you or your guardians can try and speak to the UPSC Counter situated in the building campus. Please try to take every information in writing if you do so.
5. For those of you who are not in Delhi, please let me know, I would go and enquire on your behalf personally.
If you do not get your admit cards within a week or so, we will move alternate recourse inlcuding but not limiting to approaching the apex court and ensure that you are able to write the Mains.
Most importantly, please do not panic or worry. We have faced similar situations over the last 3 years, and have been able to ensure students have been able to write the Mains every year.
Good Morning,
The IR final open lecture for Mains 2023 shall be conducted on 9th August 2023 at 11 a.m. This will be followed by the final lecture lecture on Social Issues covering Vulnerable Sections, Poverty & Hunger at 2 p.m with a lunch break at 1:30 p.m.
This is due to a change in venue. The lecture shall be held at the new Unacademy Classroom at Tiwai House, Pusa, Road, Old Rajinder Nagar. It is on the main road itself and the location for the same is https://maps.app.goo.gl/NGTHfAgwoNCSzg2J9?g_st=iw. The nearest metro station is Rajinder Place.
