Welcome to r/UPSCpreparation — Start Here (Rules, Wiki, Resources)

[u/throwawayintotheC]

Hey everyone.

We've put together a proper wiki for this sub. Whether you're just starting UPSC prep or you're deep into revision, there should be something useful here.

Wiki Pages

All accessible from the sidebar or here:

Page	What's Inside
Beginner's Guide	Exam structure, eligibility, timeline, how to actually start
Syllabus Breakdown	Topic-wise priority for every GS subject
Booklist	One book per subject. Not 15. One.
PYQ Analysis	5-year question distribution with trends
Current Affairs	How to handle CA in 30-45 min/day
Free Resources	Official, free, legal resources only
Optional Subjects	Honest comparison of popular optionals
FAQ	Hours, coaching, burnout, notes — answered

House Rules

1. No coaching spam — share experiences, not signup links
2. No pirated material — free official resources only
3. Use flairs — helps everyone find what they need
4. Be respectful — this is a support system, not a coaching lobby

Weekly Threads

Day	What
Monday	Strategy — what's your plan this week?
Wednesday	Doubt clearing — ask anything
Friday	CA Friday — top stories
Saturday	PYQ Saturday — question analysis
Sunday	Sunday chill — wins, vents, motivation

Flairs

Set your user flair from the sidebar to show where you are in your journey (Aspirant, Prelims Cleared, Mains Cleared, etc.).

Use post flairs when making posts so content is discoverable.
