Hello Everyone,
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..
Join our bandwagon, you won’t regret it.
