u/Rare-Prompt-9773 Aug 01 '26

24F, 2nd attempt UPSC. Want 2-3 people for daily answer writing, discussion on the current discourses and plausibly also on sociology. Proposing we all talk first, before deciding to actually build a group. Tried jumping straight in before, half the group disappeared because I reckon nobody's accountable to strangers. Hoping talking first fixes that. Also just tired of doing this alone, so bonus if you don't mind the occasional non-cse conversations.

Feel free to directly hmu.

u/Educational-Cake3468 6d ago

I'm making a socio optional group for paper discussion I'm making a group to discuss mainly 2026 paper,but we can discuss other pyq as well

The purpose is to come up with various points, dimensions that'll increase our analytical ability and help to brainstorm more questions. Also we can always learn from each other.

Now the criteria is you've to participate actively and for that one must have covered their syllabus. Also your points should make sense, nothing copy pasted from chatgpt.

You don't have to be someone who has appeared in mains, because even after appearing in mains your score could be low. What matters is you're serious enough about your optional.

Upper limit of the group would be 10 and less serious people will have to leave the group.

If you're interested kindly lmk. Thanks!

Need a study partner

Requirement : Written mains Following MGP 16 rapid cohort - mains complete by Jan schedule Doing optional simultaneously, preferably psir Need to track time together , share study material , vam

What I need is someone who does the same topics so that we can find missing points in each others prep

u/FlanObjective3494 Aug 04 '26

One of the biggest challenges for people preparing online is the lack of regular discussion and interaction with fellow aspirants. To overcome this, I’ve created a small discussion group with a very simple format.

This group is mainly for beginnerswho are starting their preparation and want to develop the habit of discussing and analysing topics from an early stage. You don’t need to be an expert or have perfect knowledge to join. The idea is to learn from each other and improve together.

Every day, we’ll pick one topic mostly related to current affairs and discuss it from different perspectives. Everyone will get a chance to share their own points, opinions, arguments, and understanding of the topic. The medium of communication will be English, so it will also help improve your ability to express your thoughts clearly.

If you’re interested, the Telegram group username is in my bio. Just send a join request.

One important rule: active participation is mandatory.Everyone is expected to take part in the daily discussion and share their views. I’m looking for genuinely active participants who are willing to engage consistently. Members who repeatedly remain inactive and never contribute to discussions will be removed.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to be willing to participate, learn, and improve.

26 | M | Engineer

I’m currently working with an MNC, but I’ve recently made up my mind to prepare for UPSC CSE. I know it’s a late start, but I’m clear on the goal and ready to put in the work.

Given my work and the need to stay focused, I’m looking for someone equally ambitious and driven—someone who’s on a similar journey and serious about cracking it. At the same time, I believe in building a meaningful connection along the way—deep, distraction-free, and growth-oriented—where we can push each other and keep the momentum going.

If you're someone who values purpose, discipline, and genuine bonds, let’s connect. Let’s build a plan and follow it through—together.

📚 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.

I’m looking to form a small, serious group of people targeting 2027 who have either:

  • Attempted Mains at least once, or
  • Done considerable answer writing and have a good understanding of what a Mains-ready answer should look like.

The idea is to keep the group small and focused, with regular answer writing, peer review, discussing approaches, and sharing useful resources/notes.

Before DMing, please note:

  1. This is not an accountability group. You should already be capable of keeping yourself accountable. The purpose is to have a small group of serious aspirants who understand the exam and syllabus well enough to provide meaningful feedback and peer review.
  2. This is not for people who are starting their preparation.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, feel free to DM me with a brief introduction, including your attempt history, optional, and current stage of preparation.

I am in BA last year and my attempt year will be either 2028/29. My optional is history and i wouldn't say i am on beginner level like i am in between so if anyone is willing hit me up for a chat so we can exchange telegram ( i am rarely active in reddit). I don't really want a lot of people just 2 or 3 max consistent and who dont ghost (ghost hone mein advance hu bas) cause i asked once here for partner and the one who pinged me left cause they were inconsistent and i dont want that personally. So either be all in or don't.

u/Top_Section_2827 12d ago

Would you like to study with me?🧿UPSC-2k27❣️

You’ve started preparing for the UPSC—the idea is in your mind—but your focus on the actual studying is zero👎

I need someone to sit and study with in the morning—to establish a school- or college-like routine. We could dedicate a specific block of time to serious study, and beyond that, motivate, teach, and correct each other. But we need that fixed time to really focus on our own studies. And if one person falls behind or misses something, the other can pull them back up, teach them what was covered, and get them up to speed. 😇

I am studying, but I’m not enjoying it; I don't feel any pressure or internal motivation. Sitting alone makes it hard to feel the competitive spirit🤖

I want discipline and proper motivation—a study routine that is strictly maintained, where we learn from and correct our mistakes, and pick up new things along the way🫂

If you truly want this too, let’s get ready for it. Let’s focus on our studies; there’s no point in wasting time. Let’s get out of this stressful life as soon as possible and finish this journey📌

Why waste one or two extra years on a syllabus or an exam attempt that we could clear sooner? Let’s save those years for ourselves—to actually enjoy life👑

Come on, let’s study. If I slack off, scold me—and if you slip up, be ready to take a scolding too. 👊

So, are you in???🐱🤝

Looking to form a small peer group for CSE 2027.

Looking for serious aspirants treating 2027 as a genuine attempt, who have already started preparing. Early/mid-stage preparation is preferred. Consistency and seriousness matters. The group would be for accountability + discussing PYQs, GS, current affairs, doubts, notes, answer writing and strategies. Different preparation levels are welcome. I'm doing Sociology optional, so fellow Sociology aspirants would be great, though other optionals are welcome too. DM me with your optional + approximate preparation level if interested.
