How I Secured One of the Highest Marks in UPSC CSE’s Essay Paper: IAS Officer

UPSC CSE: IAS officer T Prateek Rao scored one of the highest marks in the Essay paper of UPSC Mains. Here's his strategy.

How I Secured One of the Highest Marks in UPSC CSE’s Essay Paper: IAS Officer

C learing the Union Public Service Commission’s (UPSC) Civil Service Examination (CSE) was both a personal and professional victory for T Prateek Rao. A graduate of NIT Surathkal and Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Calcutta, Prateek attempted the examination four times and cleared two of the four times.

Speaking to The Better India , Prateek says, “Attempting the UPSC CSE and thereafter being a part of the administrative services is one that requires an aspirant to put a lot of thought into it. Before one embarks on this journey, having a very clear-cut reason for wanting to be a part of the services will help keep the motivation levels high.”

He continues, “This examination tests your strategy, not necessarily only your knowledge.”

Standing in the academy flanked by post-its. Essay high scorer.

For Prateek, his role model was his father, who was also part of the Indian Administrative Service (IAS). “To follow in his footsteps was a dream that I nurtured for a very long time. Unfortunately, when I was just 21, I lost both my parents in an accident and life as I knew it had changed. What remained was my determination to succeed in the UPSC CSE and make my parents proud.”

Prateek attempted the CSE four times, beginning in 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020. In CSE 2019 he got a rank of 724 and got allotted to Indian Railway Traffic Service (IRTS) and in CSE 2020 he secured a rank of 459 with a high score of 147 in the essay paper.

Prateek’s tips to approach the essay:

1. Do not be overconfident in your method:

“Most aspirants have an average to above-average hold on their essay writing skills. However, no matter how good you think you are, it is only repeated practice and regular third-party evaluation that will help you get better,” says Prateek. He reiterates the importance of getting an external person to evaluate and give you feedback on your essay. He also asks aspirants to steer clear of self-evaluation and go to friends to check the essay.

2. Showcase your personality in your writing:

“Remember that the essay question is the same for everyone and the distinction you can bring about in your essay is how you showcase your personality in it. For example, I had written a poem about women and if I had the opportunity I would incorporate the poem in my essay. Embellishing the essay with relevant quotes that you have read will also help in ensuring your essay gets more marks,” says Prateek.

3. Test of flow not of knowledge:

“Ensure that you grab the attention of the examiner right at the beginning. Your arguments must be put forward succinctly. Also, keep in mind that the examiner is reading multiple essays throughout the day and therefore to impress the examiner you must have a great flow to the essay. Give them a ‘wow’ moment just as they start reading your essay,” he says.

4. Make the essay relatable:

“As much as possible include anecdotes and real-life incidents in your essay. Making the essay relatable to the examiner is sure to fetch additional marks. Adding such anecdotes acts as a hook to keep the examiner interested in your essay,” adds Prateek. Adding to this he says that after a few paragraphs, the examiner must be used to the aspirant’s style of writing and that will make it stand apart.

5. Manage your time:

IAS officers outside the LBSNAA academy in Mussorie.

It is easy for an aspirant to lose track of time while attempting the essay and it is important to keep a close eye on that. In the three hours you have, Prateek says that spending between 5 to 10 minutes on choosing both topics you wish to attempt is the first step. He says, “Once you have chosen the topics, spend between 20 to 25 minutes brainstorming and making rough notes that you can use.” He says keeping aside an hour to attempt the essay is good.

He continues,” Go on to brainstorm for the second essay only after you have attempted the first one. The sense of completion after the first essay is done is a great motivator.”

6. Be creative:

The essay paper is the only one that allows aspirants to show their creative side. “Showcasing your creative side is also a sure-shot way of breaking the monotony and boredom that the examiner might be going through reading so many essays,” he says. Having said that, he also urges aspirants to stay away from using flowcharts and diagrams in the essay. “If you feel compelled to use it do not add more than one flowchart/diagram in your essay,” he adds.

7. Work on presentation skills:

“Work on ensuring that the essay is presentable – this means having a proper structure , adding sub-heads as and when needed and also a strong conclusion. You can also be as creative as possible in your writing the sub-heads. Your conclusion can also be solution-oriented and futuristic,” he says. Make sure it is easy for the examiner to read your essay, which will play a major role in determining the marks allotted to it.

8. Read to write better:

“To be able to write well, one must read. That is the first step in ensuring that your writing keeps getting better,” says Prateek. He urges aspirants to pick up Yojana and read the first article in the magazine to get a sense of how governmental essays are written. “Use plain and easy-to-understand language in such a way that it encompasses all the points. Reading of any nature will be beneficial in writing the essay. Keep compiling these points to be used later,” he says.

In conclusion, he says, “Most people know what to do, but fail to do it. So while all aspirants know what to read and how to make notes, only a handful do it diligently and those aspirants manage to clear the UPSC CSE. With respect to this examination, cut the clutter and you’ll see how well it works for you.”

Dear Student,

We are delighted to announce that we are back with our innovative Foundation Program (and more…) for our prospective students at Delhi! We present to you the brain child of Vinay Sir: SUPER OGP 2025 !

Before we begin, we would like to make it very clear that this program is NOT for:

  • Students who are looking for ready-made printed material and handouts
  • Students who are looking for classes where they are spoon-fed
  • Students who are looking for shortcuts and are allergic to hard work
  • Students who are averse to writing regularly
  • Students who expect more from others than from themselves

This program is meant solely for:

  • Students who are open-minded and curious
  • Students who possess critical thinking
  • Students who are not afraid to make mistakes in the journey of learning
  • Students who are willing to put in the work that this exam demands with single-minded focus
  • Students who believe in themselves and in our roadmap to attaining success in this exam
  • Students who are determined to clear the exam in 1 attempt  with a TOP RANK(If it is your dream to get a TOP RANK, then  this program is for YOU!)
  • This program is designed to cater to the needs of aspirants who are starting from scratch. It is ideal for those who want to thoroughly read NCERTs, start writing practice right from day one, and improve their prelims scores . Even if you have prior experience, you can treat yourself as a fresher and benefit from the course.
  • Who have given Mains but never practiced answer-writing or solving prelims tests
  • Those who are in need of a clear road map with an actionable plan and personalized mentorship
  • This program is meant for serious students only : if you have done a bit of basics, work hard, are coachable and are determined to clear UPSC CSE 2025, then please continue reading!
  • The batch will be conducted in the Offline & Online mode 
  • This is a unique and the first-of-its-kind program : SUPER OGP is an Integrated Foundation Course(OGP-Offline & Online Guidance Program) coupled with Integrated Revision & Prelims-cum-Mains Test Series(IRPM)

Introduction

It has been a long wait! We have received countless enquiries as to when we would commence our Foundation program at Delhi! Your wait ends now! We started our unique OGP Program back in 2017 and it has given us wonderful results in the years since- AIR-5(Jeydev) , AIR-24, AIR-31 , etc. Based on the success of OGP in Bengaluru, we wanted to further innovate for our students in Delhi and in 2023 we launched a new and improved version of it known as SUPER OGP for UPSC CSE 2024.  Our dedication to innovate has yielded impressive results, as the feedback we have received has been nothing short of exceptional!

And now, we are delighted to present the 2025 edition (with further improvements…)  of our innovative program for Delhi: SUPER OGP: An Intensive Integrated Foundation Program with Focus on Revision & Practice for UPSC CSE 2025.

Unlike most coaching institutes that focus on stuffing students with heaps of information through monotonous lectures or printed materials, we believe in a more effective and efficient approach . While the run-of-the -mill programs may benefit a select few who find it difficult to study on their own, we recognize that this method is time-consuming and doesn’t foster confidence in aspirants or make them exam-ready .

It’s an open secret that attending such classes in Delhi hardly leaves any time for self-study or practice – vital aspects of passing the UPSC CSE exam. We’ve heard countless accounts from students currently attending or previously enrolled in such programs, expressing that they rarely find sufficient time for self-study in Delhi. The majority of their time is consumed by sitting through lectures during class hours.

To excel in this rigorous exam, one needs a supportive environment and serious peers to engage in healthy competition . Some aspirants can study and succeed from the comfort of their homes, provided they are determined and have reliable sources of inspiration and motivation. Some toppers in the past and present have used the free initiative on our website ( Secure for Mains Answer Writing , Quizzes, Daily CA , Weekly Essay Challenge , etc.) to hone their skills in order to conquer the UPSC CSE.   However , we firmly believe that the best preparation for this exam is achieved in a conducive study environment .

WHY SUPER OGP?

We’ve identified a crucial gap in the available programs for UPSC Preparation : a comprehensive program that can guide students through every step of the preparation process, from start to finish .

There remains a gap in guidance for those starting fresh, those who have completed coaching but struggle to streamline their preparation, and those who have given Mains but never received guidance for answer writing . It’s disheartening to come across students who have spent years in Delhi but haven’t written a single answer or essay , or those who have given multiple Mains but struggle to score well in General Studies and Essay Papers.

To fill this gap , we’re introducing our comprehensive program: SUPER OGP , designed to provide genuine guidance to aspirants at every step of the way . Whether you’re a fresher, a coaching graduate, or a Mains veteran, our program will assist you meaningfully in your exam preparation. We can assure you that our guidance is unparalleled and authentic.

What is SUPER OGP all about?

  • It is a combination of our Integrated Foundation Program: OGP (Offline & Online Guidance Program) & our flagship integrated test series IRPM (integrated Revision Prelims-cum-Mains) Test Series. While the OGP Program has produced ranks like AIR-5(Jeydev) among others, our IPM Test series has been  utilized by toppers such as  Yash Jaluka (AIR-4 2021)   and  Meera K (AIR-6 2021) among several others.
  • Thus, you get the best of both worlds in SUPER OGP :
  • In the OGP: Teaching of the various subjects in a structured format by our renowned faculties with daily and weekly tests
  • In the IRPM: Regular testing through our high-quality prelims & mains test series. This is in addition to our daily tests & weekly tests which are conducted in the OGP Program.

To fulfil your goal of clearing the exam in 1 attempt, we have designed a  Holistic and Intensive Classroom program.  It is a  full-fledged program for UPSC CSE (Prelims + Mains + Interview)  which keeps you occupied for  9 months through classes, prelims and mains tests.

Our Unique Approach to EQUIP you for Success through SUPER OGP:

Our entire strategy for the SUPER OGP classroom program is driven by the unique  EQUIP strategy and the EBS(Essential, Breakthrough & Simulation Approach) strategy of taking tests .

What is the EQUIP Strategy?

E – Explanation of Basic Concepts  by faculties

Q – Quest: A daily mini-test comprising of MCQs and Mains Question- to help you  apply  the acquired knowledge

U – Understand:  The best form of understanding will be to internalize knowledge gained and enhance retention through test discussions after every class

I – Interact:  Real-time interaction with teachers contributes to qualitative learning with instant clearance of doubts

P – Perform:   Taking tests every alternate day & on a weekly basis, will ensure that it becomes a part of your routine, preparing you to  perform well  in every test without the usual accompanying jitters

essay topper upsc 2019

What is the EBS (Essential, Breakthrough & Simulation)  Strategy of taking tests in the IRPM Test Series ?

It is designed to ensure that you will complete every subject in 3 rounds

  • Round 1: ESSENTIAL  approach- emphasizes on  building the basics
  • Round 2: BREAKTHROUGH  approach- tests the ability to  link facts and concepts with Current Affairs. You will apply knowledge and skills to solve the questions
  • Round3: SIMULATION  approach- tests aspirants in an exam like environment to help them consolidate and  finally put to test  the  effectiveness of their preparation. Papers will mimic UPSC Papers preparing you to tackle any kind of question.

– Simulation Tests  will have GS as well as CSAT on the same day so that you get acclimatized to the UPSC Prelims exam.

– The MAINS examination in the simulation round will be conducted in 2 sets after UPSC CSE Prelims 2025 exam.

What your daily & weekly plan will look like in SUPER OGP:

  • This program is designed in such a way that preparation for the Prelims Exam and Mains answer writing are integrated without causing you any confusion . As classes will be based on Prelims and Mains syllabus and important issues of the day, your prelims and mains preparation will be streamlined. Things you study for prelims will be useful in writing and practicing Mains answers in class.
  • This approach will be more productive and instils confidence in you. A class + group discussion+ test + test discussion  will seal that day’s topic in your memory for long duration.

Other Components of the SUPER OGP:

Please Note: The number of views for recorded classes will be limited with some buffer time to navigate through the video.

Aim and Objectives of This Program:

At our core, we aim to empower serious UPSC CSE aspirants by providing them with the best possible environment to study independently and confidently.

We firmly believe that consistency is key to success , and we are committed to providing consistent guidance to ensure that your preparation is consistent as well . The UPSC CSE exam journey can be a tumultuous one, and we understand that aspirants need honest mentors to keep them on track and help them realize their dreams. Our program is designed to efficiently fill this gap.

Every aspirant who enrolls with us dreams of getting a rank, but our ultimate goal is to help you make this attempt your first and last . We are looking for aspirants who are willing to put in sincere hard work over a period of one year in a rigorous training environment under able guidance. Only the strongest can withstand such training, but if you are committed to achieving a top rank, we are confident that our program will provide the necessary foundation.

We promise that within a month of enrolling, you will notice a significant positive change in your preparation.

What do we expect from you?

We want to stress the importance of having unwavering faith in yourself and in our guidance . Without trust and faith, it will be difficult for us to achieve success together. We ask that you come to us with an open mind and a willingness to learn from your mistakes, improve every day , and ultimately achieve your goal of getting a rank that will make your loved ones proud.

We understand that ego, arrogance, and cynicism can hinder your progress. That’s why we encourage you to leave those traits behind and focus on your growth. We promise to provide you with the best possible environment to study independently and confidently, but it’s up to you to put in the hard work and trust our guidance.

We firmly believe that with trust, hard work, and our guidance, you can achieve the rank you’ve been dreaming of . So, take a leap of faith and join us on this journey towards success.

We hope to see you among our selected candidates.

It is kept low and affordable in comparison to the other steeply priced programs in the market. Please remember that this program combines a full-fledged Integrated Foundation Program: OGP (Offline and Online Guidance Program) and an Integrated-Revision Prelims-cum-Mains Test Series (IRPM).
