Time is power! Graduation ke 3 saal me aap UPSC ke liye foundation, depth, aur revision – sab kuch kar sakte ho. Ye roadmap aapko hamesha focused rakhega aur random ghoomna band hoga.

 Consistency + Direction = Success 

●YEAR 1: Foundation Building (First Year of Graduation) Target: Syllabus understanding + NCERT + Current Affairs Habit

NCERTs: Class 6–12 History, Polity, Geography, Economy (Quality over quantity) .

Answer Writing: Basic practice start karo. 1 question daily likhne ki aadat daalo atleast 20 - 30 words . 

Syllabus: UPSC Prelims + Mains syllabus line by line samjho (yahi game changer hai!). 

Current Affairs: Newspaper ya monthly compilation read karna start karo. 

Optional Subject: Graduation subject me interest ho toh usko optional banao – research karo

Basic YouTube Videos: PWOnlyIAS, StudyIQ, Sleepy Classes jaise channels se clarity lo 

Fun Tip: UPSC me success chahiye toh NCERT aapke sabse loyal dost hain.

● YEAR 2: Core Preparation (Second Year of Graduation) Target: Standard Books + Answer Writing Start

Standard Books: Laxmikanth (Polity), Spectrum (Modern History), GC Leong (Geography), Shankar IAS (Environment), Nitin Singhania (Art & Culture).

Answer Writing: improve karna start karo 2–3 questions daily likhne ki aadat daalo. 

Test Series: NCERT based mini tests ya prelims mock shuru karo.

Notes Making: Smart notes banao (short & crisp).

Optional Prep: Optional subject ke liye deeper reading aur past year questions dekho 

Fun Tip: Har week ka ek revision day rakho – memory bhi bachegi aur stress bhi nahi hoga.

● YEAR 3: Revision + Mock Tests + PYQs (Third Year of Graduation) Target: Full preparation mode – UPSC attempt ready!

Full Length Mocks: Prelims + Mains test series shuru karo.

PYQs: Past 10 years ke question papers solve karo – samajh aayega UPSC ka pattern 

Essay Practice: Har month 1–2 essay likhne ki practice.

Interview Prep: Start watching topper interviews + build opinion on issues.

Time Management: Daily 6–8 hours study with breaks and active revision

☆How to Balance Graduation + UPSC☆

• Use College Timetable: Free lectures me UPSC reading.

• Target : set your daily , weekly and monthly Targets for your goal.

• Weekend Booster: Full focus on reading + revision.

• Digital Minimalism: Social media detox kar lo thoda.

• Use Tech: Notes app, YouTube playlists, PDFs – sabko wisely use karo 

☆ Mistakes to Avoid☆

Sirf YouTube dekhte rehna, khud kuch na likhna Book hoarding – 20 books padhne se better hai 6 books revise karna UPSC ki journey ko short-cut samajhna – patience chahiye boss! 

My Pro Tip: "Main personally PWOnlyIAS ke YouTube videos prefer karti hoon NCERTs aur standard books ke liye. Aap chahein toh dekh sakte ho – warna aapki marzi!"

☆Tools & Resources☆

YouTube Channels: PWOnlyIAS, StudyIQ, Unacademy Books: Laxmikanth, Spectrum, GC Leong, NCERTs Test Series: Insights, Vision IAS, Drishti Notes App: Notion, Evernote, Google Keep
