Why finish UPSC Mains answer writing by December
UPSC Prelims 2027 is on 23 May and Mains begins on 20 August. Once January ends, most aspirants switch to Prelims and answer writing stops for four months. This programme puts all of the Mains writing, testing and feedback in the four months before that switch, so after Prelims you revise answers you have already written and had corrected.
