POLITICAL SCIENCE & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
Why you should choose our program
- Innovative method of teaching:
- PSIR optional is reduced to a theoretical proposition by teachers in Delhi. However, our methodology and pedagogy are different. We use schematics, diagrams, and maps to make concepts easy and scientific so that even students with non-human backgrounds can understand the subject in the easiest manner.
- Art of making short note:
- Every topper mentioned that they had prepared short notes. And it's true that no one can secure top ranks without short notes. No traditional institute or teacher discusses or tells students the art of making short notes.
- Mentorship Facility by Faculty:
- Answer writing is one of the most critical skills in your exam. Therefore, we focus on regular live sessions to develop writing skills along with the classes.
- Live classroom-based answer writing session:
- Mentorship facility is available directly with the faculty (not intermediate). Regular teacher-student interaction is a critical aspect of our pedagogy. Moreover, this facility will be available to each student after completing the syllabus.
• General Features:
- Course Duration:
- A course duration of approximately 5.5-6 months allows students enough time to learn and effectively cover the entire syllabus.
- Class Schedule:
- Classes are held for 2.5 hours, 6 days a week—approximately 350 hours of live classroom teaching.
- Doubt clearance:
- Regular live doubt sessions so that every student can understand each concept in a comprehensive as well as nuanced manner.
- Syllabus Coverage:
- Every topic will be covered in depth so that students can easily grasp the concepts and interlink one topic with the others.
- Regular test
- Test is the only way to understand the understanding of the concepts. Therefore, we rely on many mini and full-length tests.
- Comprehensive Study Materials:
- Comprehensive study materials comprise classroom handouts, booklets, and class notes containing lucid explanations and up-to-date information. The purpose is to eliminate the need to refer to many books.
Why is optional the most critical element in your selection?
Selecting the appropriate optional subject is significant in the UPSC CSE due to its greater potential for achieving higher marks compared to the General Studies (GS).
- Comprehensive Study Materials:
- Despite the General Studies (GS) carrying a weightage of 1000 marks, in the last 10 years, the scores of all India toppers typically range from 475 to 510 (on only one occasion) out of 1000, representing less than 50% of the total marks.
- Conversely, top scorers in optional subjects often achieve scores ranging from 330 to 370 out of 500, equating to more than 70% of the total marks.
Therefore, the chances of scoring optionally are much greater compared to GS. Also, the effort-to-output ratio of optional is much greater than GS. No wonder why toppers say optional is maker or breaker
The best suggestion is to prepare the optional and the GS in one go and then dedicate the remaining time to mastering the subject. Answer writing skill development requires time and patience, and only good answers fetch good marks. Moreover, optional indeed is the only way to secure a good rank. If optional performance is suboptimal, then the chances of selection are very low.
