Why Level Up IAS Prelims Master Program?

We focus on Priority high-yielding topics in every subject.
Our focus is not only on traditional subjects such as Polity, Geography but also on unconventional topics such as Science and Technology, Art & Culture, and Environment. These unconventional subjects will give that extra advantage and confidence to qualify for Prelims examinations in one attempt.
Most of the students have a knowledge base and content, but they may lack a strategy or have some attitudinal problems which inhibit them in qualifying Prelims exam. Level Up IAS is known for individual mentoring. Our expert mentors sit with the student and understand his/her problem and accordingly guide them to conquer their fear, develop a balanced strategy, and come out with flying colours in the Prelims examination.
Because our experts decoded the Prelims examination’s changing pattern, we help the students understand what is required to master the subjects and strategy to crack the Prelims examination.

Offline/Classroom students will “ALSO” have access to Online Recorded classes.
Handouts – Hard Copy for Offline students and Soft Copy for Online Students.
The course validity end date, will be same for all the students, irrespective of their admission date.
Online students can watch each class video a maximum of three times (1 Live + 2 Times Recorded).
Offline students can watch each class video a maximum of two times (2 Times Recorded). Offline students can also attend classes live online if they can’t attend it offline due to any reason.
Each recorded class video will be available on portal within 24 hours of offline class.

Mathematics Yearlong Test Series (MYTS) program is more like a Mini Foundation Course than a test series, focusing on serious aspirants who will appear in the Civil Service examination 2023. The entire syllabus is covered through 15 Sectional Tests and 10 Comprehensive Tests. These periodic tests, followed by discussion, will enhance your understanding of the subject and will also keep your Maths preparation on track throughout the year.

UPSC has increased diversity in questions. Relatively new, tricky but easy questions are being asked in the question paper. For example, error analysis in Numerical Analysis, Normal forms in Computer Programming, Cutting and trimming problems in Linear Programming etc. These new questions are not difficult but these are of course unconventional. So, to bring this diversity, the questions are selected/searched from multiple sources, like,

Standards books from reputed publications (Krishna publication books, S Chand Publication books, PHI Publication, Pearson Books etc)
PYQs (CSE, IFoS, UPPCS, BPSC etc)
Questions collected from online platforms and telegram groups/channels
College/University Tests papers and Tutorials

The questions in the TEST Series will be a mix of basic to some really hard questions. Easy/fundamental questions will ensure that you have the minimum basic knowledge to score at least 260-270 marks. Preparing hard questions in the test series will give you an edge over others. These are those questions that will push your score beyond 350 marks.

Cracking UPSC is more about developing the right attitude than having great aptitude. Students should stick to routine, attempt tests on the scheduled date, continuously identify gaps and fill these gaps on daily basis.
Follow the famous saying by Swami Vivekanand, “Stop not till the goal is reached.”
Don’t get discouraged if you are not able to score high. The Goal is to score maximum in UPSC not in Test Series. The Test series is for revision purposes and to give you a good compilation of questions. By hook or by crook, prepare all the questions of the Test Series. Once you are done with this, be confident and have faith. You have done what could be done.

Best of Luck!
