GS 3


Check the quality of questions

If we consider the marks in the Essay and the four GS papers, many aspirants are still in the race while many are already out of it.

However, the real game begins now. After the Optional paper, those who may not appear strong based on Essay and GS performance can surge ahead of others and secure an interview call.

Mark my words — the Optional paper has always been a game changer, and it will be the same this year too.

So, prepare your Optional thoroughly. Even if you feel your GS and Essay marks may not be very high, a strong performance in the Optional can not only keep you in the race but also help you secure a rank.

All the best!

Article on the Need for Representation of Women in the Supreme Court as Judges

Since 1950, only 11 women have been elevated to the Supreme Court.

The presence of women in the judiciary not only enhances gender parity but also brings diverse perspectives in delivering judgments, shaped by their personal and professional experiences with law.

This is crucial for society, the judiciary, and the cause of gender equality.
