As Results of UPSC Mains are around the corner, so those who are selected for the interview can DM me with their admit card to be added to Interview preparation group that I created for last year also.
Mostly what the group does is-
1) provide a forum to directly reach out to me for clearing any doubt on DAF 2 filling or any interview topic/hobby clearance.
2) provide opportunities for interview candidates to discuss with each other in a group with no spam and no distractions and no issues of privacy (as I have very strict policy of no DM to female members and quite frequently I block the nuisance)
3) I try to organize some discussion session on interview which is exclusive for interview candidates. Last year I got so many messages to thank me for it.

Last but not the least is strictly 'No credit in your selection' last year almost dozens of people messaged personally thanking me after their selection, which remain buried in my DM and never put up to any platform for ulterior motives. I will never take credit for your hardwork.

Wishing the best for Mains results.

🛑🛑Takeaway from Session On answer writing (Noted by a group member)

👉Ans writing and Knowledge are different things(learn d art/skill of writing)
👉Spacing, writing, speed, legibility and other things matter, it does compensate for your content
👉write in the way, u are communicating with an evaluator
👉Work on speed(content is useless if u are not completing ans)
👉Language is important
👉simple answer, not complicated words, avoid showoff in GS
👉Writing skills matter in Essay/Ethics
👉Ans will be checked by people who has age of 60+,write according to his thoughts(avoid radical ideas)
👉break question into parts nd sub parts(short answer, diverse points)
👉write the expected answer in point form(else write in Para)
👉Point form attract mind(facts data)
👉Para attracts heart(emotional topics)
👉Intro:Quote,facts,Recent news(prepare intro on themes)
👉Write data/facts and mention source too
👉Use MOCKS to improve your skills of Ans writing

🛑How to Read:
👉1st reading,cover everything
👉2nd/3rd reading for mains and to write Answer
👉4th reading prelims oriented
👉Complete Essay nd Ethics before Prelims
🛑Prelims
👉Focus on prelims(keep giving mocks,don't just target for last 3 month)

🛑When to start Ans writing
👉You can try attempting insight secure type of initiative in start (sort our time,paper completion issues)
👉Go for Test series gradually (full fledged mock)
👉Try writing more n more mocks 40-50s
👉Not to make notes for mains :History,Geo,Art nd culture,World history
👉Dont take time separately to think. think while writing answer itself.
