UPPSC 2024 (PRELIMS + MAINS) INTEGRATED STRATEGY

(By IAS PCS Pathshala)

How to use this plan?

• This is a tentative schedule for all those who are preparing for UPPSC 2024. You
can modify it according to your need, but the most crucial thing is “PLEASE
MAKE SURE TO PREPARE A PLAN AND TIMETABLE” as without proper plan your
preparation would easily get derailed.
• The Schedule is prepared keeping in mind that your UPPSC 2024 PRELIMS
would commence around June 1ST or 2ND week.
• Study Hours – 6 to 7 hours per day.
• GOLDEN RULE – MINIMUM RESOURCES, MAXIMUM REVISION (Sound Cliché
but यही सत्य वचन है)

SOME PREREQUISITE BEFORE YOU FULLY DIVE IN

• Printout of UPPSC Syllabus
• Previous Years Question Papers of both PRELIMS & MAINS.
• Before starting any subject, please see the PYQ asked from it.
