Rahul Chavan IPS, GS-3 strategy

CSE Mains 2021 Experience explained by 

Rahul Chavan, IPS'20

UPSC CSE'19 AIR 109.


General studies paper 3 


How I attempted:- Started with 15 markers ..First economics (4Q) , then Environment and Disaster management (2Q) , then Internal security (2Q) and last Science and tech (2Q).And then attempted 10 marker from 1 to 10 .


Analysis- Some tricky 15 marker questions ..

Q13 ..On NFSA 2013 , need to write specific points ..

Q15..On achievement in applied biotechnology..( if one have notes on this topic .. it's easy to attempt but without notes ..on the spot .. it's difficult to write )..

Q16- On Blue LED .. unconventional Q ..even though it was there in CA .. thought upsc won't ask on such topics so neglected and upsc didn't disappoint and as usual surprised🤠

Apart from S&T , other Qs were moderate and attemptable.


Some 10 marker tricky questions..


Q1 - On GDP .. Couldn't get more than 4 points..same with almost all people.

Q5 - On S400 ..even here also less specific points.

Q7-On WHO ..it was there in CA ..but didn't read ..so  general answer ..

Most of the 10 markers were specific Qs ..so moderate to difficult.


How to prepare-As there are many factual information based questions , for Economics, keep resources and intensity same as  prelims for mains too ..For S&T , Environment , DM , and Internal Security ..Mostly Current based questions so CA will be enough.

Utkarsh Dwivedi AIR-5 PSIR Notes, Strategy and ANSWER COPIES

Utkarsh Dwivedi IAS   air-5 UPsc cse 2021 PSIR STRATEGY, NOTES AND MY ANSWER COPIES If there is one factor that has helped me achieve a single digit rank in CSE, it is my optional. I have scored 168 in paper 1 and 146 in paper 2, making it 314 in total. I have still not come across somebody with a score more than this and hence a comfortable claim can be made that this is one of the highest score this year. In this blog, I would mention what helped me achieve this score.  I DID NOT refer to any other source than Shubhra Ma'am's notes. There are two reasons to it.  Firstly, since I had reached the interview stage in all my three attempts, I never had the luxury of time to refer to any book.  Secondly, I believe Ma'am's notes are more than enough to form the core aspect of the subject's preparation. I did value addition from multiple sources so as to get an edge in my answers: I referred to copies of toppers of the respective tests that I attempted during my mains ...
