IASbaba's Prelims Strategy, Important Updates
The day you’ve been preparing for is finally here — UPSC Prelims 2025. You’ve studied hard, revised endlessly, and taken countless tests. But the real question is — are you mentally ready for the exam that could define your future?
In this powerful video, Mohan Sir (Founder, IASbaba) speaks directly to you, sharing practical advice and time-tested strategies to help you manage your mindset and emotions on the most important day of your UPSC journey — the day of the Prelims (from 9 AM to 4:30 PM).
This isn’t just another strategy video. It’s your mental checklist for success, built from years of mentoring successful aspirants like yourself.
What You’ll Take Away
Mohan Sir helps you build the ideal mindset to carry into the exam hall — one that’s calm, focused, and confident. He explains how you can stay composed during both GS Paper 1 and CSAT, especially when pressure peaks and doubts creep in.
You’ll also understand how many questions you should attempt in each paper, based on logic, risk management, and your current preparation level. These insights could help you avoid the trap of over-attempting or playing too safe.
Worried about what to do during the break between the two papers? He’s got you covered. You’ll learn what to avoid during that crucial window — like postmortem discussions of Paper 1 — and how to reset your mind before tackling CSAT.
More importantly, you’ll be prepared to avoid last-minute blunders — be it silly mistakes while marking answers, mismanaging time, or getting overwhelmed by tricky questions.
Above all, this video is a reminder of something critical — your emotional control and presence of mind can make all the difference. Mohan Sir’s final golden advice is about staying grounded, trusting yourself, and believing in the journey you’ve walked so far.
As he says, “Many fail not because they didn’t know enough, but because they couldn’t stay calm when it mattered most.”
All the best!
