The essay is a crucial component of the UPSC Civil Service Main Examination. It holds significant weightage and can greatly enhance your overall mains score, in conjunction with your optional subject. Several individuals have achieved commendable ranks solely by obtaining a high score in the essay paper, along with decent scores in other subjects.

As you are all aware, the nature and scoring of the Essay paper have changed since the 2021 mains examination. The topics now are primarily philosophical in nature, making essay writing more challenging, and consequently, overall scores have dipped. In previous years, with sufficient efforts, scores of 140 and above, even reaching 150+, could be attained. However, in the past two years, surpassing the 130+ mark has become a formidable task.

Staying true to its motto of Simplifying UPSC preparation, InsightsIAS is delighted to announce the launch of the Essay Edge Course by its expert faculty, Mr. Farees Rahman. This course is designed to help you conquer the challenges in essay writing and master the art of crafting exceptional essays.

“I first wrote an essay some 4 years back and calling it bad is an understatement. It is Farees sir who corrected me then and read the next 100-odd essays it took for me to get to the other side. Writing an essay is the only thing in UPSC that needs someone who constantly evaluates and guides you in the process. In this regard, Farees sir was and is my Dronacharya and my Pir(guide). Especially concerning the philosophical essays, it is Sir who made me realise that writing an essay philosophically is different from dumping philosophies in an essay. The unique insights sir brings not only help us in writing an essay to the demand but also to get a cutting edge which is becoming the need of the hour these days. Thus, it is with my utmost faith in Farees sir’s abilities with which I have been acquainted for years I can testify to the utility and necessity of this course.”
