Questions about the UPSC ESE Civil study plan
How do I make a study plan for UPSC ESE Civil?
Enter the date you are aiming for and the hours you can study each day. The plan spreads the 192 chapters across the weeks you have, gives every chapter its test, then leaves time for revision and the 20 full mocks before the exam.
What if I have very little time before UPSC ESE Civil?
With under two weeks the plan switches to a crash plan: the highest-weight chapters first, then mocks. When the time cannot cover every chapter, it says so and tells you how many hours a day would.
Do I have to tick off tasks myself?
No. Once the plan is saved to your free account, a chapter is marked done as soon as you attempt its test. Only revision lines are ticked by hand.
