What changed in this attempt to get you in the final list?
"I joined the Sleepy Classes GS Mains Crash Course in 2025, from where I extracted useful points, practised consistently, took the test series, got my answers checked, and received mentorship."
Dr. Ritika Aima
AIR 33 · UPSC CSE 2023
Followed Sleepy Classes IAS for 2+ Years
Here's a snippet from her strategy to prepare GS-2 Polity:
"I followed Ayush Raina Sir's Polity videos for two years, especially his videos on 50 most important Polity topics and answer writing.
Ayush Sir explains Polity very well, especially how to integrate Polity with current affairs in Mains answers.
Ayush Sir makes dedicated videos on important areas like Supreme Court judgments and landmark judgments. By watching these videos and adding those points to my notes, I was able to use such judgments in multiple answers."
