I enrolled myself in the Forum Mains Guidance Program+ for GS and Essay Test series. The answer writing practice and written feedback from Forum along with "Best answers" and topper’s copies provided helped me improve my answers and get a high score in my General Studies papers. Ayush sir’s regular articles were also fun and encouraging reads. I thank the ForumIAS team for their guidance during my two-year association with them.
ForumIAS has been an integral part of my UPSC Journey right from my very
first attempt. The prelims and Mains test series have helped me a lot and I
have referred to them in all my three attempts. One on one Session with
Ayush sir for interview was beneficial too. Always enjoy reading his
articles on the forumIAS blog.
Best Wishes

I was a part of ForumIAS MGP (Mains Guidance program) and Essay Test Series. The detailed evaluation with remarks helped me immensely in improving my performance over the previous attempt. MGP comprises of sectional test for each portion of GS papers. This insured that I didn’t leave any part of the syllabus. I am grateful to the entire ForumIAS team for their help and timely evaluation and uploading of answer sheets.

ForumIAS has been my friend philosopher and guide during my tedious UPSC journey. I joined the Mains Guidance Program (MGP) and Current Affairs (Online) classes. The presence of mentors like Ayush sir and Dipin sir acts as a bonus. I am truly for the entire ForumIAS team for being the building block of my preparation.

Hello Forum!
I wrote 8 FLTs of Forum MGP 2019 (Two tests of each GS paper). The
questions, evaluation and the marking pattern were very good. I found the
model answers very useful, and apart from the FLTs, I also referred to the
model answer of the sectional tests on some selective areas like Geography,
History and Ethics.

Mains Guidance Program by ForumIAS
In this new age of competition and content overload, the true picture is often missed by aspirants of Civil Service Exam. What is required, is mentioned in CSE Notification ie. intellectual traits and depth of understanding rather than merely range of information and memory. ForumIAS MGP is the most sought after program for CSE Mains by aspirants as well as those who are already selected but want to improve their ranks and the results and acknowledgement by toppers is a testimony of the same.
Remember the approach of UPSC CSE, "The questions will be such as to test a candidate’s general awareness of a variety of subjects, which will have relevance for a career in Civil Services. The questions are likely to test the candidate’s basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyze, and take a view on conflicting socio-economic goals, objectives and demands. The candidates must give relevant, meaningful and succinct answers."
