Dear Aspirants,
We have finally come to the end of the Be Mains Ready (BMR) program. We hope that this program has been helpful to you. If you have practiced answer writing in this program on a regular basis then you would have covered a lot of topics. Now is the time when we would advise that you revise and consolidate whatever you have learned in this program. For this purpose, we have prepared a BMR PDF consolidation that you can easily download, print, share etc. Combine this PDF with your reading sources to make revision easier, faster and more thorough.
Also, for continued preparation for the Mains Examination, from now on, we will continue with our Mains Answer Writing Practice program -
we will share 2 questions and their solutions daily, from Monday to Friday and Essay topics every Saturday. We hope aspirants aiming for UPSC 2020 or later, will find this program extremely helpful. All the best!
Regards,
Team Drishti -
