You need a new strategy for UPSC 2020; Old-School Methods may not work now!

The traditional methods of coaching may not work anymore unless they adapt to the new requirements of UPSC. Check the question areas of UPSC CSE in recent years. Questions you get directly from NCERTs or Standard Textbooks are not much.

Our intention is to help our enrolled students clear UPSC CSE Prelims – irrespective of the UPSC question difficulty.

As part of ClearIAS fail-proof strategy, conventional and unconventional areas are given equal importance in our test series.

Aspirants should realise that just covering textbooks (traditional areas) is not enough to clear UPSC anymore. Candidates should take an intelligent interest in the events which are happening around them (we shall, of course, give guidance).

ClearIAS has always emphasised that success in UPSC = 50% Knowledge and 50% Exam-Skills.

As part of ClearIAS strategy, special care is given regarding the continuous development of analytical skills in aspirants. Questions, answer choices, and explanations are framed in such a way to cultivate the thinking process of Intelligent Elimination of wrong answers.
