In this Video Siddhi Ma’am explains a clear, step-by-step 18-month preparation strategy for UPSC CSE 2027, designed especially for beginners and those restarting seriously. She emphasizes that UPSC is not a rote-learning exam, but one that rewards conceptual clarity, logical reasoning, and consistent revision.

She breaks the journey into four well-defined phases—building strong foundations in History, Geography, Polity, and Economy; followed by revision, testing, and optional preparation; then an intensive Mains-focused phase using PYQs, microthemes, and answer structuring; and finally a Prelims-exclusive phase centered on tests, analysis, CSAT, and current affairs. Siddhi Ma’am stresses starting early, avoiding strategy overload, using NCERTs intelligently, and aligning preparation strictly with UPSC demand through PYQ analysis, ensuring confidence and control by the time Prelims and Mains arrive.
