"Cracking the UPSC Code” is a dedicated initiative that fosters the ambitions of individuals aspiring to join the civil services. Our mission is to cultivate a nurturing environment that empowers students to realize their potential and achieve their UPSC goals.
Our program offers direct access to the invaluable wisdom of seasoned public service officers through a series of engaging speaker sessions. These are further augmented by comprehensive blogs and video recordings, meticulously curated to address the most relevant questions and concerns faced by aspirants.
This multifaceted approach ensures that our students receive a well-rounded understanding of the intricacies involved in civil services preparation. We pride ourselves on being a supportive platform where doubts are dispelled, and a culture of collective learning is actively promoted.
This is a very good initiative. At our time, KGP was the institute that had very less numbers of selected candidates as compared to other IITs. I found no less talent in our college as such. It’s just that, I think, there is less exposure and availability of proper guidance. But luckily, now that online resources are available, you can get good resources. However, the guidance aspect is still missing. So, such kind of initiatives will help you out in getting proper guidance. People like me are always there to help you out in any manner we can. Keep up the good work.

I appreciate this initiative, which was not there during our times. This will help many of the students I feel because I face this problem that I couldn't find many people, alumni who have cleared or prepared for this kind of service. So I would like to say this kind of platform is a really good initiative.

The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) Preliminary Examination is a crucial first step in the Civil Services Examination process in India. It serves as a screening test, designed to assess a candidate’s general knowledge and analytical skills, covering a wide range of topics including history, geography, economics, politics, science, and current affairs. It consists of two papers: GS Paper I and GS Paper II (also known as CSAT).
The UPSC Mains Examination is the second stage of the Civil Services Examination process in India. It consists of nine papers, including two qualifying papers (one in a compulsory Indian language and one in English), four General Studies papers, an essay paper, and two papers on an optional subject chosen by the candidate. The Mains exam is descriptive in nature and tests a candidate’s in-depth knowledge and understanding of various subjects.
This is the final stage of the Civil Services Examination. This consists of an interview, a face-to-face interaction with a panel of experts who assess the candidate’s personality, mental acuity, social traits, leadership skills, intellectual curiosity, intellectual and moral integrity and balance of judgment. The whole exam pattern of the UPSC CSE is comprehensive, and the competition is intense. The interview carries 275 marks out of the total of 2025 marks. The marks obtained in the interview are added to the marks obtained in the Mains Examination, and the final rank is decided based on these cumulative marks.
The UPSC result is not just a list of names, but a testament to the perseverance, dedication, and hard work of those who have cleared one of the toughest examinations in India. It opens the door to a multitude of prestigious services such as IAS, IFS, IPS, and Central Civil Services (Group ‘A’ and ‘B’), each offering a unique opportunity to serve the nation and make a difference. Remember, every rank earned is a step towards shaping India’s future. So, keep striving; your dream service awaits!
