First thing first, Civilsdaily it is the best in the market right now in terms of personalized guidance.

I had a joined “XYZ” popular answer writing series after prelims 2018, but there I use to get a generalized checked answer copy and personally no one to point where exactly I was committing mistakes or what was my strength. They just mentioned add this, remove that, but why and how? I was not able to evaluate properly, I needed an personalized approach. So after 2-3 test I dint gave any further mocks thinking that I can practice this on my own by looking at their answer key. And that never happened 😂😂.

I couldn't clear the mains, I barely managed to complete 16-17 question a paper. I realised that lack of answer practice and no personalized guidance was the biggest factor. I was not having the kind of confidence you should have before writing an important exam like upsc mains.

This year I searched a lot and found about Civilsdaily, talked to Sajal sir, and knew this kind of programme will suit my need. He personally helped me in following things:

  1. Personalized and tailor made strategy according to my weakness and strengths.
  2. Pointing me the areas where I was writing unnecessarily and where i should have been writing more words.
  3. He walked me through each and every question. How my answers would be more precise and impactful.
  4. How to divide questions in parts and write accordingly→intro, body and conclusions.
  5. Kind of diagrams, tables etc. required in different type of questions.

Overall it literally helped in boosting my confidence.

PS: Sajal Sir was one of the highest scorer in GS Mains exams, that nudged me to join Civilsdaily guidance programme.
