Doston,

I've put together a short PSIR form ahead of the upcoming workshop.

Your responses will help me understand the group's key challenges, preparation gaps, and questions. I'll use them to shape the workshop agenda and prioritise the issues that matter most to you.

It should take about ~5 minutes to fill.

IPS Cadre Allocation for Last Year’s Selected Candidates

This is what makes a teacher very happy 😊

That is what I keep telling all my students that Sleepy’s known for its content …

And instead of calling sleepy’s content GS, we shall call it GS+

As it not only helps in acing UPSC CSE but because we keep track of what all is happening in so many other exams like CDS, CAPF, EPFO, APFC, State PSCs (like those of Punjab, Haryana, UPPSC, Uttarakhand, MPPSC, WBPSC, and others), and include their questions and PYQs in our content, our content also helps you ace these exams in addition to UPSC CSE

But in the end, we are just a bunch of teachers… providing the best of the content and classes… everything, literally everything is done by the student 🙏🙏

And that’s why we want to invite and reach all the students who are ready

And for that we are forever grateful to god that we’ve been able to reach hardworking students who value our content and get top ranks with their hardwork 🙏🙏

Touchwood , this shall never stop🤞

There’s a star in the sky… the first star of the evening sky.. the one that makes all our wishes come true…

(as seen outside Sleepy’s offline center today evening)

Bhai log aaj ka question coming up, get your pen paper ready…

Simple input to improve Mains marks 🙏

Today a beautiful thing happened in our Sociology Live Answer Writing Class

A student saw the words “non-positivist methodologies” in the question and immediately began writing

He had written the answer really well, but I told him, it won't get him marks

He must have been shocked
But here is the problem

The actual question was:

“Evaluate non-positivist methodologies in addressing sociology’s modern challenges”

He had answered the first half of the question beautifully
But he missed the second half entirely

That the question in fact demanded how those methodologies have been used in "addressing sociology’s modern challenges"

When I pointed it out, there was a brief silence
Then he wrote oh yes, yes :)

As a teacher I absolutely love such moments of realisation
Which every serious aspirant eventually experiences

That in UPSC, while knowledge is important,
But attention is equally important.

That so many students lose marks not because they don’t know the answer, but because they answer a question that wasn’t actually asked 🥲

It's just always a missing keyword
Or a neglected directive
Or, an ignored context

And, suddenly a 6/10 answer becomes a 3/10 answer

Guys, these are small mistakes
But never forget that selection is often decided by small margins

So, while yes sometimes students do need more content, but at times someone sitting beside them, catching these little errors can go a long way in making a deep impact

And, that is one of the quiet purposes of answer writing practice,
That I do not merely wish to improve what you know, but to improve what you notice

And often, that makes all the difference 😊
