| Dear Aspirants, "Is it the right time to focus completely on UPSC Prelims 2025?" asked an aspirant in his email last week. Well, it depends on your approach and how prepared you think you are for the upcoming stage of the exam. Prelims go beyond factual knowledge—they demand conceptual clarity and a strategy different from other exams. Veterans suggest that Prelims and Mains preparation should go hand in hand. However, as the Prelims date approaches, you should devote more time to solving test papers, CSAT, and GS, with revision taking the lead. At the UPSC Essentials of The Indian Express, we don’t see the two stages as separate; value addition continues at every stage, every month—just like we did last week. Here's everything that we covered last week for you: - New! International Women's Day Special issue of the magazine: Click here to read the March 2025 issue of the UPSC Essentials monthly magazine.
