Mains answer writing
That’s a good question. There are umpteen coachings that provide Mains answer writing courses for UPSC CSE. Since I have qualified Prelims this year and will be sitting for Mains, I myself was searching for one such course and came across SUGAM. SUGAM is an answer writing course for beginners that helps them write good answers with utmost brevity. It spans 16 weeks. One can opt for either one paper a month or for all the papers in one go. Herein, students are first shown model answers so that they can get an idea of how to write logically conclusive answers.
Structure of Mains Answer Writing
I love how SUGAM is structure. Incorporating each of the papers along with the important topics is what Eden follows. Every day, students are made to write 4 questions which helps them to understand the art of answer writing. By the end of each week, 6 questions are to be attempted by the enroll students. And guess what, all these papers are evaluate by the experts of Eden IAS within 72 hours. These papers are returns back to the students with individual feedback. The most tedious part of the Mains examination is the General Studies IV or Ethics paper. Here, the Ethics paper is taken care of by the best Ethics faculty member – Mr. Tirthankar Roychowdhary. With a good command of Integrity, Ethics, and Aptitude, Tirthankar sir makes sure that students grasp the technicalities and the Faculties of the subject well. Well, practice isn’t the only thing that makes an aspirant perfect. And this is the reason why Eden takes a lot of tests. The frequency of mock tests is usually weekly and monthly. They grind you to such a great extent that you will clear the Mains examination with flying colors.
So, in my opinion, you can enhance Mains answer writing skills via this program. It has been very beneficial in my case.
The period between Prelim and Mains is the golden time for writing practice, and even if you haven’t practiced much beforehand, a serious effort in those 3 months can be a game changer.
Let’s divide the main works into 3 parts and discuss them separately.
