📣 Words from Our Previous Toppers:

“I am an OGP 2021 student. Insights IAS & Vinay Sir played a significant role in my success. When I entered preparation I had no clue, but at Insights IAS – the institute gives you enough resources. If you use them wisely & strategically, you can clear the exam. Vinay Sir’s guidance for the Essay Paper, in which I scored good marks, was very good. His interview guidance also helped me improve my communication skills.”Avinash, AIR-31, UPSC CSE 2021

“I must place on record my most sincere gratitude to the entire InsightsIAS team, particularly Mr. Vinay Kumar who had been a true bedrock of support. He was extremely patient and would review my writing with feedback on improvements. Without his guidance, and others at InsightsIAS like Mr. Sudeep Kumar, I doubt I would have managed to clear the exam.”Jeydev CS, AIR-5, UPSC CSE 2019

The Civil services examination is considered to be a tough nut to crack. Lakhs of candidates appear for the prelims exam, a few thousand (around 9-11k) write mains, and a few hundred clear the interview stage. But let’s not waste time thinking about our chances of clearing this coveted exam. Instead, let’s focus on HOW TO CLEAR each stage.

There is a common thread that binds most successful aspirants- SYSTEMATIC PRACTICE, the RIGHT GUIDANCE, and HARD WORK. Having guided several hundreds of toppers successfully for nearly a decade *( **Nandini KR** AIR-1, **Jeydev CS AIR-5**, **Avinash** AIR-31, Tejas K AIR 243, Diya Dasgupta AIR 207 , Shobhika Patak AIR 37 ) : click on the names to read/watch their reviews of Insights IAS*), we have understood the demands of this rigorous exam and devised several initiatives that will empower an aspirant to crack the exam easily, provided they put in the required efforts consistently.

To all those embarking on this journey for the very first time: the UPSC CSE is conducted in three stages – Preliminary, Mains, and Interview. Each stage differs in the approach needed to tackle it successfully. This exam requires the right strategy to clear it at the earliest; It is not merely about your brilliance or memory power. We have seen many talented individuals- fritter away their attempts due to a lack of the right guidance and strategy. The huge competition coupled with the vastness of the syllabus, makes it challenging for an aspirant (especially a fresher) to adopt the right strategy for the exam.
