This year, the UPSC CSE Preliminary Exam is scheduled for 26th May 2024. It can be gauged from the trends of the past years that the questions asked in the exam are becoming very unpredictable and tricky. It includes both General Studies and CSAT papers. The amount of preparation and practice required for this exam is immense. A wise man once said "Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice" and it seems to describe the prerequisite to crack the prelims exam. It is not only the process of learning but practising those learnings through multiple mock tests that gives you the confidence to crack the preliminary exam comfortably. Keeping these things in mind and with a special focus on Prelims, we at Drishti IAS have planned to start the 100 days Drishti Mentorship Programme Prelims - DMP (P) on 5th February 2024.
