Introduction

According to the UPSC notification, the upcoming CSE Prelims exam is scheduled for 25th May 2025, which is roughly 8 months away, and the Mains exam will follow about 11 months from now. As time is passing quickly, it's the perfect time for aspirants to intensify their efforts. Time is of the essence; it is high time to gear up and master both Prelims and Mains in a well-coordinated and integrated manner. Avoid common pitfalls and make yourself ready for UPSC CSE 2025 examination through a dedicated Drishti Mentorship Programme (Integrated)-2025 in a targeted approach. This program will help you strategically navigate your preparation, avoid common mistakes, and confidently prepare for success in the 2025 exam. Let's make every moment count towards your dream!

About the Programme:

We are delighted to announce our exclusive Mentorship Programme for the students who are looking for a targeted preparation for the 2025 attempt under experts’ guidance. Drishti IAS is proud to be the pioneer in offering a Mentorship Programme featuring academic and mentor support along with advanced library facilities, strategic guidance, regular test conduction, etc. With our immense experience, we trust our process and are confident of providing you with a comprehensive, holistic, and smart solution/blueprint that not only helps you qualify the Prelims and Mains Examination but also helps you secure an All-India Rank by gaining an advantage. "Join us to unlock your potential and achieve your dreams!"

DMP (I)-2025 is an intensive Mentorship Programme meticulously designed to empower aspirants preparing for UPSC Civil Services Examination 2025. Based on a detailed analysis of the trends of questions (Prelims and Mains), this Programme places a strong emphasis on concept building, in-depth analysis, revision, and rigorous practice, covering the Prelims and Mains syllabus in a targeted and strategic manner.

Why is an Integrated Approach Important for Every Aspirant?

Students often experience a lag in preparing for Mains-specific subjects during this time. As you prepare for the CSE 2025 attempt, it's essential to balance both Prelims and Mains subjects. While studying for the Prelims, most subjects should be approached holistically (Pre+Mains). However, subjects like Ethics, Governance, Society, International Relations, and Internal Security often receive less emphasis during this critical period. Incorporating these subjects into your preparation, along with regular and rigorous test practice, will give you a competitive advantage for next year's attempt and ensure you're Mains-ready.
