Over the duration of the program, students will attempt 100 high-quality UPSC-level questions, with one question per day (six days a week). Each question is meticulously designed to test conceptual clarity, analytical depth, and articulation — core skills that define success in the Mains exam.

Every submitted answer is evaluated with detailed qualitative feedback focusing on structure, argumentation, theoretical balance, and presentation. Students also benefit from weekly live Zoom sessions with IFH faculty, where common mistakes, model frameworks, and strategy insights are discussed in an interactive format.
