About the Course:

MAINS PYQsAstra is a practical and focused course designed for serious UPSC aspirants who want to understand the UPSC Mains exam deeply and improve their answer writing skills.

UPSC Mains is not about how much you know — it’s about how well you apply what you know in a structured, logical, and clear manner. Many aspirants struggle with this because of some common problems.

Core Problems in UPSC Mains Answer Writing

If you’re someone who face -

1. Not using data or examples – Writing general points without support from facts, stats, or schemes.
2. Limited dimensions – Missing out on social, political, economic, or administrative points.
3. No connection between static and current affairs – Answers feel one-sided or outdated.
4. Weak structure – No clear Introduction, Body, or Conclusion. Random flow and missing headings.
5. Confusing openings and endings – Vague intros and conclusions that don’t match the question
