Sir most of the aspirants had a problem of figuring out understanding the syallbus everyone knows what the syllabus is but doesn't know the subtopics of each syallbus So I'm requesting you if you had time please provide what sub topics will come under each topic for every subject. So that everyone can get an idea what to be read and what to be left.
What not to study- 1. EPW 2. PIB 3. ORF 4. IDSA 5. All coaching websites (except what a particular website is good at. For example iasbaba is good at yojna and kurukshetra summary) 6. Vikaspedia 7. Arthapedia (good for certain concepts; can be used as reference for some concepts; can also use Khan Academy for macroeconomics) 8. livemint 9. WEF 10. News on AIR 11. UNEP 12. Studyiq (Don't see all the videos; See only syllabus relevant videos) 13. Editorial videos 14. Down to Earth Books- 1. Plassey to Partition 2. Mastering Modern World History by Norman Lowe
Summary: WHAT NOT TO Read: EPW PIB website-way too much content. Difficult to filter. It's already covered in nwespaper and monthly mags. IDSA ORF Iasbaba, Insights and other similar websites - can't be read in its entirety. Instead only those sections which are good in a particular website should be read, eg: Yojana and Kurukshetra summary. Vikaspedia Arthapedia Down to Earth Livemint. Not even for economy news. World Economic Forum, UNEP Websites - Once in a while is ok. YT Channels - StudyIQ is good but only UPSC related topics should be covered, if at all. Editorial review is a very bad way of learning things. The original editorial should be read and understood. Books : Plassey to partition, World history by Norman Lowe
It is really nice of you to have an elaborate perspective put together in just a comment. But, when Arjun could only see the eye of the fish that doesn't mean that the fish was the whole world for him. It simply implies that all other things, not significant at the time became redundant. That's dedication and focus. So if you may, kindly appreciate people actually dedicating time and resources to this exam for their dream, ambition, passion or anything else irrespective of the relevance and result of it, I will be obliged. Because one should never half-ass anything. Thank you.
you are a kind of person who just understands the feelings of upsc aspirants you just come up with the things which i never expect but you DO so and which prove to be very very helpful to us... now only a very simple & short word comes in my mind for you is that "you are GENIOUS" thanku so much GURU JI :)
Sir please make a video on essay writing .I prepare to 2022 without coching even I can't afford to write test series at any coching center.I follow every video which are most useful to me .So sir keep guiding us as above ,thank you sir
Hello Sir, Thanks for making such a great awareness videos on every topic and also for guiding us in a best way possible. I am a working professional and I have started following you from last 6-7 days as I had started my UPSC journey on 2nd June 2021. Since I started the journey, I saw lots of Topper's videos on strategy, book list, CA, Newspaper reading, etc, but the way you explain the things, it just fits in my mind, it's like you are in front of me and explaining things. Sir I genuinely feel that It's all due to your dedication and hard work that how much you want us to clear UPSC. I am not exaggerating in any way, it's just whatever I am feeling right now after watching some videos of yours, I am writing it. Just a humble request from you sir, "Could you please make a video on Syllabus of UPSC" or "How to go through the topics mentioned in syllabus" , "How to analyze the syllabus" , etc. Thanks in advance Sir. Still so much to learn form you and hope to meet you in person after clearing this examination. :)
These little good deeds will help lot of young aspirants to realise bigger picture behind the whole scheme of exam- a part of small imperceptible changes brought in to conceptulize CSE exam in right way to the minds of new generation.
Thankyou sir soo much... Finally someone is telling honestly.. What to follow or not to follow! I was having same issue regarding many TH-cam channels as well as news sites.. As after reading for a week or so.. I started understanding that.. These are not worth the crucial time.. When preparing for this exam! Thankyou sir
Yes sir you are really true...many toppers say to follow PIB but this is too heavy to follow, just they simply say it but this is very impractical in my mind to crack this exam as these PIB information which are related to UPSC are compiled in the monthly magazine or daily ones also, so better to go with this monthly magazine.

Please make a video like this on following questions. 1.How deep should be learn and read any topic or issues for mains and prelims? 2.Micro timetable. Thankyou sir you are doing great job as you are providing valuable information.
Good afternoon sir,... Sir every time you'r suggesting that "Opinions, Ideas have no place in UPSC". But a question starts with "Do you think/ Will you agree/ What do you know/ How do you elucidate in your point of view etc., " seem to be started with "I think/ I agree... Sir, Could you please elaborate "What is meaning of "OPINION, IDEAS" in your point of view..??
You have to proove every point with a fact not just putting your opinion... suppose if you have to give some suggestions then u should also place some facts regarding that
Never get polarised towards a single idea but write a balanced answer and backup your opinion with facts. Don't start with I think /I agree...first provide a background/overview regarding the topic in abt 50 words
You have lifted 50% of burden from our Head. Of them I had already eliminated 25%. Thanks a lot sir for telling us such a selective and smart way to study. 🙏❤️

Thanks Sir for the video. The only thing I kind of disagree is, newspaper analysis. Newspaper analysis really helps to connect the dots and give the larger picture. As beginners we are not aware of some subjects broadly which these analysis provides. At the same time I also go through one-two newspaper articles daily to form the structure in my mind, mainly international relations part(Because my optional is PSIR). Overall, great video. Thanks, God bless!
