Written UPSC Mains in Just 8 Months | My First Attempt & How I Did It

I wrote UPSC Mains in my very first attempt — after starting my preparation with just 8 months in hand. This video is not a “10-hour study routine” or a list of 50 books you need to read. It is an honest account of how I approached UPSC preparation when I had limited time, what I focused on, what I ignored, what worked, what didn’t, and what I learned after actually sitting for the Mains examination. From the beginning of preparation in December to the long months of studying, answer writing, revision, uncertainty, and finally the Mains examination — this is the journey. If you’re preparing for UPSC CSE, especially if you feel that you’re already late or don’t have enough time, I hope this gives you a realistic perspective. 8 months. One attempt. UPSC Mains. This is how I did it.
