Topic Tests : In online test series, INDIANCIVILS.COM will provide a login/password in their web portal where you will be able to download question papers of the tests as and when the test was published
Mock Tests : Question paper cum Answer Booklet will be posted to your postal address, and the student has to answer the same by Sunday and scan and upload through mobile App(CamScanner) into our webportal
Once the student uploads the scanned answer sheets, our Lecutrers will download the same and correct it and give you back the corrected answersheets into the same portal where you will be able to download the corrected sheet for feedback
There will be dedicated live interactive online video sessions at the specified time in the test plan by the same faculty
All the topic tests will be solved in the live interactive online classes
For mock tests, doubt clarification cum typical problem solutions in the live classes will be there
Topic tests covers most of the problems from the previous year question papers of UPSC-Optional
Mock tests covers Some of the problems from the previous year question papers of UPSC-Optional and some extra models will be provided
