Why This Program Is Different?
We help you build your own notes
As medical graduates, you have already studied these subjects and have your own material. Topic-wise video lectures would only cost you time. So we do not give topic videos or ready-made notes.
Instead, we pinpoint exactly where your notes fall short of the PYQ trend and help you refine and enrich them. We supplement your hard work with the extra edge that earns marks.
An approach lecture for every subject
Before you open a single book, you will know exactly what to read and why. Every approach lecture covers:
- Weightage and importance: how much the subject carries and where it sits in Paper I or Paper II
- PYQ trends: how questions have evolved and which themes UPSC keeps returning to
- Recent developments: new guidelines, programmes and advances linked to the subject
Smart topic segregation
Every subject is broken down into three groups, so you know where to put your time:
| Most frequently asked | Unasked but important | Specific must-prepare points |
| High-yield topics you cannot afford to miss | Topics not yet tested that are likely to appear | Exact sub-topics and facts to master in each topic |
Key Features of the Test Series
- Kishan Ram’s strategy for each subject and each paper, shared personally
- 20+ years of PYQ brainstorming: every previous year question discussed, covering how to think, frame and answer
- 19 time-bound tests in real exam conditions: subject-wise, sectional and full length
- Evaluation within a maximum of 5 days of submission
- Personalised checking, never outsourced: every copy is checked in-house, with feedback specific to you
- Test discussion video after every test: model answers, approach and common mistakes
- One-to-one mentorship call after each paper to pinpoint your gaps and help you improve
How Every Subject Runs?
Each subject follows the same five-step cycle:
| 1. Read | 2. PYQ Brainstorming | 3. Self-Revision | 4. PYQ Test | 5. Evaluation |
| Guided reading days as per the timetable | Live discussion of the subject’s PYQs | Consolidate, update your own notes and revise | A time-bound, subject-wise test | Discussion video plus a one-to-one mentorship call |
After every section, a 3-day revision buffer is followed by a sectional test on the fourth day.
