COURSE OBJECTIVES
COURSE COMPONENTS & FOCUS AREAS OF LEARNING
Rau’s IAS Study Circle | GS MTS + QIP for UPSC Mains 2021 3
It is a targeted course and most suitable for aspirants who have a good handle on basics. Every
serious aspirant will benefit immensely from the modus operandi of this exam-centric course.
It is exam-centric and targeted because we keenly focus on such themes which have high
chances of being asked in the Mains exam. We do that by:
o picking the most relevant topics by analysing the current issues and mapping them to
syllabus, and
o identifying the static themes by examining the trends in previous years’ question papers.
Then, our approach is to help you to develop multi-dimensional perspective across them and
improve your answer writing skills.
