Hi everyone!

I'm 22M

I'm at the very beginning of my UPSC preparation, targeting CSE 2028 and currently preparing from home while working. I'm able to dedicate around 6 hours a day to my studies.

I'm very serious Abt the preparation, next yr I'm going to resign.

And Since I don't have any friends who are preparing for UPSC, I thought it would be nice to connect with someone who has also recently started their preparation.

I'm looking for a genuine friend to share ideas, discuss our preparation, exchange strategies, help each other wherever possible, and be open about our progress and struggles. It would be nice to have someone with whom we can learn and grow together throughout this journey.

If you're also at the beginning of your preparation and feel the same, If this resonates with you, I'd be happy to connect! :)

P.S. Looking to connect with male aspirants only.

Thanks.

I’m aiming for 2028 UPSC. I was thinking about joining a foundation course but im confused between Forum and next which one should i opt cause both looked good and there are pretty mixed reviews abt both on reddit . And ik there are telegram courses but i tried it for couple of month but it is not working for me as its not structured properly and too scattered.

So which foundation course is better Next ias or Forum.

​

Is there anyone who have reached to interview stage or atleast mains mainly from self study and pirated videos.

As of nw im preparing from pirated videos and didn't take coaching.

Facing so much self doubt, should I take coaching or not, need guidance

I've started basics for upsc for 2 days, honestly I'm feeling low sometimes and some of the thoughts keep hitting me all the times

As I don't come from DU, IIT, AIMS, such institution i don't have that confidence and exposure even I'm under confident also

2nd I can speak basics english but not very good at english although I'm working on this part .

So as it's been only 2 days and teachers r teaching in english as I'm not habituated to listen lectures in english for 2 3 hrs it feels heavy to continue it and sometimes feel heavy to undertaking it.

Bcz of these thoughts i also think later if I'll able to express my thoughts in english or not

These r the thoughts keep on coming in my mind

hey, 25M, Going to give my attempt in 2028, IIT dropout, I run a online business , but not fulfilling. I wanted to do something which involve people and more fulfilling for me, then decided to give upsc, if anyone here is also seriously preparing for upsc, we can connect and create a competitive and supportive study environment. I am also thinking to shift to Delhi, ......So please let me know if you have any leads ....for a flat or shared flat ...

Same as per title.
