Why you need a Test Series?

Get a hold over nuances of effective and marks-fetching answer writing for the main Examination.

The Civil Service Main Examination assesses your ability to express your knowledge and understanding of the subject matter clearly and logically.

Your performance is evaluated not only on the information you provide but also on how well you organize your thoughts and ideas, constructing a coherent and well-structured answer.

To excel in the Civil Service Main Examination, it is crucial to practice clear and concise writing, which enables you to maximise your scoring potential by presenting your knowledge effectively.

To assist in preparing for the upcoming CSE Main Examination, we offer a Test Series that includes supervised answer-writing practice for questions similar to those in the actual examination, along with feedback and discussion of your responses. Utilising these tools will enhance your presentation skills and enable you to perform to your full potential.

Features of the programme
  1. Limited OFFLINE MODE available: For a limited number of students, the facility to write the tests from the Evolution classroom will be available. Your choice will be noted at the time of admission but preference will be given to the students facing the CSE / IFS Mains 2024. The post-test discussions with the faculty and mentors will be conducted online only.
  2. ONLINE MODE: Students not being able to write the tests in offline mode can opt for online mode. Test-paper upload, answer-script submission, return of the evaluated answer-scripts and live-online discussion of the tests will all be conducted on our learning portal.
  3. Just 50 seats per subject to maximise personal attention and accelerate your improvement.
  4. 8 well planned tests in each programme, in which the questions have been carefully chosen from the most significant topics for the current year's Main Examination.
  5. Access to comprehensive digital study material will be available for your reference until the Main Examination 2024. Please note that these materials are digital and will be accessible on our portal in a non-downloadable format.
    ‍We will not be able to provide them in a downloadable or printed format. Access to this reference material will expire once the Main Examination 2024 has been conducted by the UPSC.
  6. 50 illustrative model answers (6-7 per test) to help you learn the ideal structure of UPSC answers.
    IMPORTANT: Deliberately, we do not provide readymade model answers for every single question in the test but we will teach you the structure and content outline of all the questions.
    We are also providing you the access to comprehensive digital study material for your reference until the Main Examination 2024.
    The test series is an opportunity to learn answer writing by practising under supervision; it is not a means to obtain ready-made answers for rote memorisation. In our experience, rote memorisation does not work for most parts of the Main Examination. Therefore, we limit the provision of model answers to 50, which should offer you insight into constructing an effective answer.
  7. Evaluation of your answer scripts by the faculty member with proper feedback and marking on the lines of UPSC Examiners.
  8. Detailed online discussion by the faculty for every test paper and including advice for ideal answer.
How the Test Series will be conducted
  1. A student opting for the test series in offline mode will be able to come to the Evolution Test Centre at the specified time to take the test.
    The subsequent steps, such as evaluation and feedback discussion, will still be conducted online as per the calendar.
  2. For the students taking the test in online mode,  the question paper and QCA (Question-cum-Answer) booklet for the test will be uploaded to the test portal as per the test plan. You will be downloading them.
    There are two ways to answer the tests: using the QCA booklet or on plain sheets of paper.
    A) To use the QCA booklet, you will first need to download it from the test portal. Then, print it out and write your answers in the space provided in the QCA. After that, scan and upload the QCA as PDF on the test portal.
    B) You may also use plain sheets of paper to write your answers. Once done, you will need to scan your answer script and upload it as PDF on the test portal.
  3. In about 10 days’ time after the submission deadline, the faculty will return the evaluated answer script with comments. The answer script will be uploaded back on the portal.
  4. Shortly after, the faculty will host live-online sessions to discuss the question paper and the answers. These sessions will be hosted on the test portal. You will also have opportunities to ask questions to the faculty. The dates for these sessions will be pre-announced on the Test Portal.
  5. If you miss any live-online session, you will have the recording available on the test portal. The recordings are usually posted within 24 hours of the live session.
  6. Candidates who have registered for the CSE Main Examination will be able to access the test portal till the conclusion of the CSE Main Examination 2024.
  7. The test portal for candidates taking the IFS Main Examination will be open until the conclusion of the IFS Main Examination in 2024.

Smriti Mishra

IAS Rank - 4, 2022

I enrolled in both the Zoology Optional Regular Course and the Zoology Test Series at Evolution, which played an instrumental role in my UPSC preparation.

Evolution enabled me to prepare comprehensive, high-quality Zoology notes which became the backbone of my Main Examination study material. Despite having been a B. Sc. Life Sciences Topper (Rank-2) at Delhi University, the classes at Evolution served to enhance my understanding, added significant value to my existing knowledge base and helped me frame my answers.

I also feel that many topics and questions in the Main Examination are at the Masters level. Thanks to Evolution, I was able to grasp these advanced topics also efficiently.

The classes are consistently meticulously planned and executed, allowing students to master the concepts and facts without wasting time and effort.

Abhishek Sir has been a constant pillar of support throughout my journey. He took the time to patiently check our work and provided us much-needed mentorship. Even two years after completing the course, I was able to reach out to him and the rest of the team and received help and encouragement, which is truly remarkable.

Vishal Khatri

IFS Rank - 5, 2019

I had joined the following courses at Evolution, both in online mode - 1) Interview Preparation Module with  2 in-person mock interview + lectures on Current Affairs and Forestry 2) Prelims modules - Current affairs, Environment and Science-Tech.

Evolution helped me quickly improve my Env preparation from a generalist CSE paper 3 level to the depth required for IFoS. I have seen many of my friends struggle in Env and SciTech due to lack of a good, consolidated source. Evolution's extremely relevant and comprehensive coverage of these topics definitely added value to my preparation.

Abhishek Sir's lectures were rigorous, yet focused and engaging. The narrative format of delivery improved my understanding, as well as retention, reducing the need for revision. His broader guidance on framing of answers (structuring, prioritisation) and IFoS-specific questions was also immensely helpful. Chiranth Sir helped me cover high-scoring areas like Env legislation for Prelims and revising Forestry. I would unhesitatingly recommend these courses to any serious aspirant. I've myself been using them for the coming attempt.

I prepared both my optional subjects with Evolution for the Civil Service and IFS Examinations.

Despite being a B.Tech. in Computer Science, I mastered subjects like Botany with Forestry with reasonable ease and felt confident in the exams.
‍
The classroom course and notes have been exactly in tune with the needs to the examination. For most of my preparation, I relied only on my class-notes.

IFS Rank - 2, 2017

Every member of the Evolution team (Abhishek sir, Suman ma’am, Chiranth sir and others) has been a source of immense help, support, guidance and motivation for me.

In fact, now I identify myself also as a part of it. While many persons & institutions helped me in achieving my & my family’s dream, Evolution’s was the most dominant force …the Optimus Prime. I shall always remain indebted to Evolution. Thanks a lot:)
