The TLP Philosophy – Build Excellence, One Answer at a Time!
At IASbaba, we believe that consistent answer writing is the most powerful way to master the UPSC Mains exam. That’s the simple idea behind TLP (Think Learn Perform). By making answer writing a small yet non-negotiable part of your daily routine, TLP helps you improve steadily and sustainably – not overnight, but every single day. But that’s not all — TLP also helps you master one of the most underrated aspects of UPSC Mains – Time Management!
Writing 5 questions daily under time-bound conditions trains your mind to think, structure, and express within strict limits, just like in the actual exam. Over time, you’ll find yourself writing better answers in less time — a skill that separates qualifiers from toppers.
The effectiveness of TLP isn’t just theory. It has played a crucial role in the success of hundreds of UPSC toppers, including Rank 1 (Kanishak Kataria, 2018) and many others who have publicly acknowledged how TLP transformed their preparation. Discipline. Feedback. Daily Improvement. That’s what made the difference for them. And it can, for you too..
FEATURES OF TLP
- Daily Five Questions: We will be posting 5 Questions before 9 AM Everyday (Including Sunday’s)
- Synopsis: We provide comprehensive synopsis for each General Studies question posted under the TLP initiative, designed to serve as a ready reference. These model answers are crafted to help you prepare entire topics effectively and are published daily by 8 PM, ensuring timely learning and revision
-
Evaluation: To encourage accountability and timely improvement, your answers are evaluated daily by IASbaba, giving priority to students who submit their answers earlier in the day. This encourages discipline and time management - both crucial traits for UPSC success.
In addition, we strongly promote a peer-review culture. By engaging with fellow aspirants, reviewing each other's answers, and offering constructive feedback, we aim to build a collaborative and enriching learning ecosystem. This practice not only helps improve answer quality but also cultivates analytical thinking by viewing answers through an evaluator’s lens. - Essays: We will be covering Theme-Based and Philosophical Essays every weekend
- Current Affairs & PYQ’s: As part of the daily practice, Current Affairs & PYQs will be systematically covered.
- Access to Mains Simulators: We will provide free access to write 2 cycles of Full-Length Mains Mocks.
This year onwards TLP will be posted on our website (iasbaba.com). The website will help you stay focused and keep your preparation streamlined. The are no separate registrations required to access and answer the questions. You can answer the questions by taking images of the written answer and uploading them in the comment section.
As you know we put in a lot of effort in every single initiative that we launch. We do not make questions just for the sake of it. Questions are well researched and are on the lines of UPSC pattern. The above testimonials from toppers are a proof of that.
Answer writing is an art that can not be learnt in a single day. So don’t get bogged down by strict reviews. You are not on the platform to appease anyone, but to improve every single day. Write the answers everyday and learn from the comments of the IASbaba mentors and the feedback of your peers. We can assure you, by the end of the process, you will internalise the process of answer writing. Not only this, you will develop a muscle memory of several answers that you will find the actual UPSC exam. Many of the questions that we have asked on TLP, have been asked directly by UPSC.
On this note, we wish you all the best and hope that the process will help you in becoming a topper.
All the Best
IASbaba Team
