 Overview

• Parivartan Mentorship Programme (PMP) is a 13-month integrated Prelims-cum-Mains programme.
• The programme will cover topics in an integrated Mains-oriented format. For example, if we begin with GS Paper II, topics will be covered according to the UPSC syllabus. Subjects such as Polity, which are important for both Prelims and Mains, will include 50 Prelims questions and 5 Mains questions to be attempted within a 2-hour test duration.

GS Paper I

• Ancient, Medieval Art and Culture (AMAC) (Prelims + Mains)
• Modern Indian History (Prelims + Mains)
• Post-Independence India (Mains)
• World History (Mains)
• Geography (Prelims + Mains)
• Indian Society (Mains)

GS Paper II

• Polity and Constitution (Prelims + Mains)
• Governance (Mains)
• Social Justice (Mains)
• International Relations (IR) (Mains)

GS Paper III

• Economy (Prelims + Mains)
• Agriculture (Mains)
• Environment (Prelims + Mains)
• Science and Technology (Prelims + Mains)
• Internal Security (Mains)

GS Paper IV

• Ethics, Integrity, and Aptitude (Mains)

Once Polity is completed, a 100-question Prelims test will be conducted. Thereafter, we will move to the other GS Paper II subjects, namely Governance, Social Justice, and International Relations (IR). Since these are primarily Mains-oriented topics, tests comprising 10 Mains questions will be conducted as per the syllabus division.

After the completion of all GS Paper II subjects, a full-length GS Paper II Mains test consisting of 20 questions to be attempted in 3 hours will be conducted. A similar approach will be followed for GS Paper III and GS Paper IV.

The schedule has been designed in such a way that GS Paper I and CSAT are covered during December, January, and mid-February. This aligns with the transition to a Prelims-focused preparation phase. Even during this period, the integrated Mains-oriented approach will continue. Mains-specific subjects will be covered first, followed by subjects that are important for both Prelims and Mains.

For CSAT, a total of 8 sectional tests have been planned, including:

• 2 tests on Reading Comprehension
• 3 tests on Reasoning
• 3 tests on Quantitative Aptitude (Mathematics)

CSAT tests have also been integrated with certain subjects, such as Indian Society, wherever appropriate.

Current Affairs has been incorporated through 6 sectional tests of 25 questions each, along with subject-wise full-length sectional tests and 2 additional full-length tests of 100 questions each.

After the completion of all paper-wise tests, the programme will shift to Prelims-specific full-length tests. One of the GS Paper 1 tests will comprehensively cover important topics such as the Union Budget, Economic Survey, Ministry Reports, Indices, and Government Schemes.

Detailed information regarding the sectional and full-length tests is available in the brochure. The programme includes 4,000+ Prelims questions and 650+ Mains questions.

For Mains preparation, the focus will primarily be on full-length tests, as sectional tests would have already been covered during the integrated phase. With limited time available before the Mains examination, students generally prefer full-length practice tests. Each test will be followed by a dedicated mentorship session for performance analysis and improvement.

Test Schedule:

• Sunday: Full-Length Test
• Wednesday: Mentorship and Feedback Session
