Why Choose the CSAT Foundation Course 2026?
Many UPSC aspirants tend to focus almost exclusively on General Studies (GS), often dedicating over 80% of their preparation time to it. Only later do they realize the importance of qualifying for the CSAT paper, which requires a minimum score of just 33% to clear. No matter how high their score on the GS Paper-I may be—even a score of 120/200—it will not matter if they fall short on the CSAT Paper.
