PSIR Optional Foundation Batch 2027

By Chandan Kumar Sir

Political Science & International Relations (PSIR) is one of the most preferred optional subjects in UPSC due to its overlap with General Studies, relevance in current affairs, and scoring potential. However, success in PSIR depends on conceptual clarity, linking static topics with contemporary issues, and effective answer writing. The PSIR Optional Foundation 2027 at LevelUp IAS is designed to help aspirants build a strong, exam-oriented foundation with a structured and focused approach.

Chandan Kumar Sir brings a method that emphasizes time-bound syllabus coverage, interactive discussions, and integration of current affairs, along with dedicated focus on PYQs and answer writing practice. With 8 class tests, weekly doubt-solving and mentoring sessions, and concise printed notes, the course ensures clarity, consistency, and readiness for UPSC CSE 2027.
