Dear Aspirants,
As the Civil Services Main Exams approach, beginning on 20th September 2024, I want to extend my heartfelt wishes and encouragement to all of you. You have worked tirelessly to reach this point, and now the time has come to showcase the dedication, perseverance, and knowledge you have acquired over months of preparation.
The journey towards the Civil Services is not an easy one. It demands discipline, hard work, and unwavering focus. I have witnessed the remarkable efforts you have put into mastering every subject, honing your skills, and developing the mindset required to excel in these exams. Now, it’s your moment to shine.
The UPSC Mains 2024 exams will span from 20th September to 29th September. Here’s a quick look at the timetable:

This is a rigorous schedule, but I am confident that your hard work and our comprehensive preparation will see you through successfully.
At Career Strategists IAS, we have worked diligently to equip you with the best tools and techniques. Our classroom coaching, live classes, and daily practice sessions were all designed with your success in mind. To sharpen your essay writing skills, we provided 40 model essays in both Hindi and English, covering potential topics, from 30th June to 19th September. This initiative aimed to strengthen your ability to articulate thoughts clearly and precisely, a crucial skill in the Mains.
We also organized daily question-answer practice sessions under our special series, Today’s Questions, where we encouraged you to submit your answers for evaluation. Not only did Career Strategists’ students benefit, but many aspirants from other institutions and cities also participated, submitting their work for review. Our expert faculty evaluated each submission thoroughly, offering detailed feedback to help you improve your approach and writing style. This rigorous preparation has been instrumental in building your confidence and refining your answer-writing techniques.
Now, with the exams just days away, it is time for you to put all of that preparation to the test. Remember, the exams are not just about what you have memorized; they are about how you apply your knowledge, your analytical thinking, and your ability to present information in a clear, structured manner.
Take one paper at a time, maintain your composure, and remain focused. The Civil Services exam is as much a test of endurance and calm as it is of knowledge. Be mindful of your time management, especially during the General Studies papers, where precision and concise expression will set you apart.
You have already demonstrated exceptional commitment by preparing for one of the toughest examinations in the country. The journey ahead will challenge you further, but I am confident that you are more than ready to take it on. Trust in your preparation, trust in your abilities, and trust in the process.
At Career Strategists IAS, we believe in your potential, and we are proud to have been a part of your journey. As you step into the examination hall, carry with you the confidence that you have done your best and that success will follow.
I wish you all the best for the Civil Services Mains 2024. Perform to the best of your abilities, and let your hard work pay off.
