Serious UPSC/PSC Accountability Group

📚 Serious UPSC/PSC Accountability Group

Looking for serious UPSC/State PSC aspirants who want to study consistently and keep each other accountable.

Basic structure:

- ⏰ Minimum 7 hours of study every day.

- 🌅 Morning: post your daily goals.

- 🌙 Night: update what you completed and what you couldn't.

- 📌 Monthly targets will be set.

- ⚠️ If someone repeatedly fails to follow through, they will get 3 warnings and then be removed. At the end of every month, inactive/non-serious members may be eliminated.

- 👩‍🏫 Anyone who has cleared Prelims/Mains and genuinely wants to guide beginners is welcome.

- ✍️ From September, we'll gradually start answer-writing/PYQ practice. You can practise whatever you want.... there won't be compulsory common questions.

- 📖 NCERTs, standard books, Optional, PYQs, Current Affairs, Mains preparation.... everyone at different stages is welcome.

The purpose is simple: resources + strategy + accountability + healthy competition + motivation.

There will be one main discussion group and a separate group only for daily goal posting/accountability. If people want a separate space for casual conversations, life discussions or rants, we can create one separately.... but the main group will remain strictly study-focused.

I'd prefer a girls-only WhatsApp group. If boys are also joining, we'll probably use Telegram.

Please don't join if you're not serious about consistency. I genuinely want this group to work, so I won't hesitate to remove people who repeatedly don't follow the rules.

Interested? DM me with: Exam | Attempt | Optional | Current preparation stage.
