Introduction

UPSC has recently released the result of Prelims exam. It must be known to every student that the number of days between this year’s Prelims results, and the Mains Examination are around 80 days only. This mandates a more rigorous and competitive approach to be followed by the students writing Mains this time.

When it comes to the UPSC CSE Main Examination, the target may be big, but the stride is simple. The Mains examination comprises 9 Papers. These 9 papers are as follows: Paper-A (Compulsory Indian Language); Paper-B (English) which are qualifying in nature, while the other papers like Essay, General Studies Papers I, II, III, and IV, and Optional Papers I and II are considered for the final merit.

Faring well in all the papers has become necessary to qualify for the Interview Stage. It might look like a humongous task but we at Drishti IAS are here to support you in this journey through our well-structured programme.
