Rajah Mohaideen (Anthropology), AIR 10 Ujjwal Priyank (Sociology), and AIR 17 Chitwan Jain (Philosophy) join Dr. Mrunal Patel (UPSC Educator and Economy Subject Expert), Pratik Nayak sir, and Sudarshan Gurjar Sir (@sudarshangurjar ) for a tactical Mains 2026 podcast. GS Paper 1: Handle bouncer questions on World History and Indian Society by connecting to real-life examples. Sociology optional is not required for Indian Society answers. Read Geography before Environment. GS Paper 2: Link static Polity to recent court orders and newspaper editorials. For IR, memorise 4-5 keywords per theme (strategic autonomy, bargaining diplomacy, Smart Power). Quote Dr. Jaishankar's book for value addition. GS Paper 3: Economy and Agriculture answers rely on data and committee recommendations. ChatGPT helps generate keywords — always fact-check. Environment answers must connect to Geography fundamentals first. Answer Writing: Intro-Body-Conclusion format with a forward-looking conclusion. Diagrams add roughly half a mark per question. Build speed through full-length mock tests — at least 6-8 essays and 2 full-length GS papers before Mains. Hybrid physical-digital notes work best.
