Every year nearly 10 lakh aspirants apply for the UPSC Civil Services Examination, but only a few hundred finally make it to the civil services. Why does this happen?

In this special UPSC Masterclass for Beginners, Vijender Chauhan explains the real structure of the UPSC examination and the mindset required to prepare effectively. This session goes beyond motivation and focuses on understanding how the UPSC exam actually works.

The biggest mistake many aspirants make is preparing for UPSC like a university examination- focusing only on completing the syllabus. But the truth is that UPSC is designed as an elimination examination, where the goal is not only to test knowledge but also to identify candidates who can think critically, write analytically, and demonstrate administrative personality.

In this lecture, Vijender Chauhan breaks down the three core layers of UPSC preparation:

1️⃣ Knowledge Architecture
Understanding concepts, facts, and their critical analysis. UPSC no longer rewards rote learning — it expects aspirants to understand, apply, and critique ideas.

2️⃣ Exam Craft (Prelims & Mains Strategy)
UPSC Prelims requires mastering MCQ elimination techniques, time management, and handling negative marking.
UPSC Mains requires mastering the craft of answer writing, because knowing answers alone is not enough.

3️⃣ Personality & Psychological Preparation
The Civil Services Examination is also a psychological journey. Aspirants must build communication skills, analytical ability, and a balanced personality from the very beginning of preparation.

Vijender Chauhan also explains why revision should take 40–50% of your preparation time, why comparison with other aspirants can be harmful, and how to develop a long-term preparation mindset for UPSC.

If you are preparing for UPSC 2027, or starting your Civil Services preparation, this masterclass will help you understand the real strategy behind cracking the UPSC examination.

Watch till the end to understand how to build the right mental framework, exam strategy, and preparation ecosystem for UPSC.
