There will TWO Rounds of Revision. In first round, revise as much as possible. If something is left over, you can cover the
same during Second round of revision . Try to be as intense as possible during the first round. Dont get scared looking at the
timetable. Yes, its difficult to read whole book in one day, but its NOT IMPOSSIBLE. Try your best. Even if you cant
complete, you can complete it in second round. But give your 100%.
You can also skip Optional and Secure if you are going to read below sources for the first time, or if you are a slow
reader. Give more importance to prelims preparation.
If you really want to experience how real exam preparation should be, try to achieve the targets given in the below timetable
On Time, Every Time.
Wish you all the best. We hope this year you will get a very good rank and end this UPSC journey.
Note:
1. Both Prelims (MCQs) and Mains questions will be posted next day based on previous days Topics.
2. Timings given in the Timetable are indicative. Please modify it according to your convenience.
We look forward to your valuable comments and feedback. Thank you.
