Your 75 Days to Crack UPSC Prelims
Dear UPSC Aspirant, imagine transforming your preparation in just 75 days, starting today, to confidently face the Prelims on May 25, 2025. We, your guides from a reputable coaching team, are here to support you with a straightforward and effective plan. We understand the challenges—long hours, intense pressure, and your aspirations driving you forward. Allow us to simplify General Studies (GS), CSAT, mock tests, and Previous Year Questions (PYQs) into a clear strategy. With our guidance, we will keep you focused and prepared.
Phase 1: Getting the Basics Right (First 45 Days)
The first 45 days are crucial as they lay the foundation for the entire preparation. Think of them like setting up the base for a house—the stronger it is, the more solid the rest will be. During this phase, we focus on learning the basics across all GS subjects and understanding how the Prelims exam works. Aim to study 8-10 hours a day, with 5-6 hours dedicated to GS subjects. It sounds like a lot, but we'll guide you through it step by step to make it manageable.
We begin with Polity, which is often a goldmine for easy marks. The key book for this is Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth. Spend 5-6 days on it, breaking it down into chunks. Day 1 focuses on the Constitution’s origins, Day 2 on the President and Prime Minister, and by Day 6, you should be familiar with everything from Parliament to local governance. UPSC loves questions on topics like Article 21 (Right to Life) and the differences between rights and state goals, so make sure you’re clear on these.
Next, devote 5-6 days to A Brief History of Modern India by Spectrum. Focus on major events and movements such as the 1857 Revolt, the rise of the Congress, and key moments in the struggle for independence. It’s helpful to think of this like a timeline movie, from 1857 to 1947, highlighting important events like the Swadeshi Movement in 1905. Make sure to touch on aspects of art and culture, such as Indian temples or dances, as these topics often asked in the exam.
Geography is an important subject that also tests your map skills. Spend 5-6 days reading through the relevant chapters in the NCERTs, focusing on Class 11 (Physical Geography) and Class 12 (Indian Geography). Read two chapters a day, focusing on key concepts like monsoons and river systems. Get an Atlas (Oxford is a good one) and make it a habit to mark 5-10 geographical locations daily. This helps with map-related questions that are common in UPSC exams.
Spend 5-6 days on Economics, using the NCERT Class 11 book Indian Economic Development. This book will provide a solid foundation on concepts like GDP, inflation, poverty, and employment. Make sure you grasp simple yet crucial topics like the economic planning process and schemes such as MGNREGA. Economy-related questions are often linked with current affairs, so this foundation will help you connect the dots later when you bring in recent economic developments like the Budget 2025.
Environment and Science are often intertwined in the UPSC exam. Dedicate 5-6 days to Environment, using Shankar IAS. Cover three chapters a day, with topics like climate change, wildlife conservation, and environmental agreements like the Paris Agreement. Follow this up with some NCERT Science (Class 6-10) to brush up on basics such as plant growth and laws of motion. Given the growing importance of science and tech in the UPSC exams, being well-versed in topics like ISRO rockets or renewable energy sources is essential.
Set aside 5-6 days to go over current affairs from June 2024 to March 2025. Use a resource like PT365 and tie each news event to the relevant GS subjects. For instance, if there’s a new wildlife law, link it to your Environment studies. This keeps your preparation alive and tied to the latest developments, helping you stay relevant with the current exam trends.
Quick Notes to Save You: Every day, spend 30 minutes making concise notes—just 1-2 pages per subject. For Polity, jot down key Articles and landmark cases like Kesavananda. For History, note down important events and leaders like Gandhi. Keep the notes simple with keywords such as “Monsoon” or “GDP.” These will act as your quick-reference cheat sheets when you're revising later.
Old Questions: UPSC’s Secrets: Solve 15-20 previous year questions (PYQs) daily from 2015-2024 for each subject. This is crucial because it gives you insight into the kind of questions UPSC asks. For instance, in Polity, you might focus on rights or the functioning of Parliament. In Geography, you could be solving map-based questions. Use these questions to spot trends and fine-tune your preparation.
Fixing Mistakes: Spend 30 minutes reviewing your mistakes after solving the PYQs. If you confused Article 32 with Article 226, write it down and make sure you remember the difference. This process helps you learn from your mistakes and solidifies your understanding.
Numbers Made Fun: CSAT doesn’t need to be intimidating. Spend 1-2 hours daily for 10-12 days working through Quantitative Aptitude by RS Aggarwal. Focus on solving 20 questions daily, including percentage, profit-loss, and speed-related problems. Time yourself to answer each question within a minute and track where you struggle.
Logic and Puzzles: Spend another 10-12 days on Analytical Reasoning by MK Pandey. Solve 15 daily puzzles, aiming for 5-7 minutes per puzzle. The more you practice, the faster and more accurate you'll get at solving logical reasoning questions.
Reading Smart: Dedicate 10-12 days to reading one article from The Hindu daily (20 minutes). Afterward, solve five short reading comprehension passages from a CSAT book, aiming to get 4 out of 5 right. This will help you sharpen your reading skills, which is vital for the exam.
Mixing It All: In the last 3-4 days of Phase 1, blend your CSAT practice: 10 number questions, 10 logic questions, and 1 passage daily. This mini-CSAT test will help you get accustomed to switching between different skills quickly.
Weekly Check-Ins: Every 5-7 days, take a GS practice test at 9:30 AM—100 questions in 2 hours. It’s a mock exam that builds your stamina for the real thing. Analyze your mistakes and make sure to address weak areas, such as “Science: technology” or “Polity: court cases.” This continuous review process keeps your preparation sharp.
Phase 2: Practice and Polish (Last 30 Days)
The final 30 days are about refining your strengths, fixing weak spots, and boosting your exam confidence. Stick to 8-10 hours of study a day, with 4-5 hours dedicated to GS revision. This phase is all about speed and accuracy, so get ready for intense practice.
Revisit Polity for 3-4 days, focusing on the tricky areas from your practice tests. Solve 30 old questions daily (from 2020-2024). A quick minute per question should suffice. With consistent practice, topics like Articles 21 or the functioning of Parliament will become second nature.
Devote 3-4 days to History, revisiting key events from 1857 to 1947, such as the Swadeshi Movement and Quit India. Solve 20 old questions daily, especially those related to culture and art. This ensures you’re deeply familiar with the subject, helping it stick in your memory for good.
Spend 3-4 days reworking the NCERTs and focusing on your Atlas skills. Mark 10 locations daily, whether it’s mountain ranges or rivers. Solve 15 map-based questions along with 10 regular ones to get comfortable with the geographical aspects of the exam.
Spend 3-4 days revisiting your Economics notes along with updates from the 2025 Budget. Make sure you solve 20 old questions daily, focusing on topics like GDP and inflation. This helps you connect the basics with the latest economic developments.
For 3-4 days, revise Environment-related topics with Shankar IAS, paying attention to agreements like COP26 and species conservation. Solve 15 questions daily, and make sure you’re aware of key environmental issues being discussed globally.
In the last month, spend 3-4 days revisiting your Science basics and updating them with the latest news on tech developments, such as DRDO advancements or new vaccines. Solve 15 old questions daily to connect theoretical knowledge with current technological innovations.
In the final week, review the news from April-May 2025. Focus on how these developments tie into your GS subjects, like new scientific technologies or environmental policies. This ensures you stay on top of the latest trends.
Dedicate one hour each day to revisiting weak areas, such as topics that have caused confusion in past practice tests. Whether it’s polishing your History facts or going over complex economic concepts, this step ensures no topic is left behind.
Practice with CSAT regularly. Every 5-7 days, take a full CSAT test in the morning, aiming for 100+ marks in 90 minutes. Analyze your performance and note areas where you can improve speed or accuracy, such as with logic puzzles or reading comprehension.
In the final 10 days, focus on one GS + CSAT test daily. Aim for high marks in both—120+ in GS and 100+ in CSAT. Analyze these tests thoroughly, noting down any patterns in mistakes and revising them immediately.
Last 10 Days: Test Every Day
In the final 10 days, take one GS + CSAT test every day, aiming for 120+ in GS and 100+ in CSAT. Use the same day to analyze your mistakes and adjust your strategy.
Last 2-3 Days: Chill and Shine
In the final days, focus on reviewing small notes and catching up with current affairs. Rest is equally important—sleep well, stay active with walks, and keep your mind relaxed. With enough preparation, you’ll enter the exam hall feeling confident and ready for exam.
Final advice
Hey, these 75 days are your chance to stand out. You’re not just chasing a rank—you’re crafting something incredible. Tiredness might sneak in, doubts might whisper—feel them, then push them away. Every page you turn, every test you ace, is you proving, “I’ve got this.” Stay disciplined, stick to the plan, and let nothing derail your focus—your future deserves it.
