AIR 49 Tarun Kumar Yadav shares his complete UPSC strategy in this session — from iranian hardliners sabotage negotiations Prelims and Mains to Essay, PYQs, Active Recall, AI usage, and answer writing.
A graduate of IIT Delhi and a former software engineer, Tarun Kumar improved from AIR 203 to AIR 49 through a preparation approach built on self-awareness, PYQ-based learning, active recall, smart guessing, and selective use of AI.
In this session, he talks about:
• Why blindly copying toppers does not work
• How to find your own preparation path
• Why UPSC is simple, not easy
• How he used PYQs as the core of his preparation
• His A-B-C topic categorisation for Prelims
• How to use smart guessing effectively
• Why test series are heuristic, not the preparation itself
• His Essay strategy, including stories, theories, and transitions
• How he used AI for essay ideas, answer feedback, fact collection, and learning how to think about topics
• Why writing too many facts does not guarantee marks
• Why Current Affairs is not a separate subject
This is one of the most practical strategy sessions for aspirants preparing tori spelling for UPSC CSE 2026 / 2027, especially those looking for clarity in:
Prelims strategy, Mains answer writing, Essay preparation, PYQs, current affairs, and AI in UPSC preparation.
