Details of Entrance cum Scholarship Test are given below
Hello Dear Student!
There are barely 3 months to go for 2022 to end! Time is running out for the UPSC CSE Exam 2023. Before you know it- it will be 2023, the notification will be out, revision would’ve started and Prelims will be here! Time flies! But worry not, we are here with our much loved initiative to enhance the effectiveness of your preparation and point you in the right direction- towards your goal.
Insights IAS is delighted to announce that we are back with an opportunity to join our pioneering initiative that has given our institute several top ranks since its inception: the much-acclaimed SUPER CORE BATCH!
But wait, we have more exciting news! We will be conducting an entrance-cum-scholarship test for the SUPER CORE BATCH 2023 on 9th Oct. 2022 in both online & offline mode (at all our branches: Bengaluru, Delhi, Hyderabad, Lucknow & Srinagar).
Read till the end to know more about the scholarship test!
How does one write great answers? Have you ever thought about this? Are you one amongst the majority-who believes that you should finish the entire syllabus before you decide to put pen to paper? (The day you “finish” the syllabus will never come!). Are you afraid of writing less-than-perfect answers? Do you keep planning to write & then procrastinate till “tomorrow”? Tomorrow never comes, does it? Do you want to shed your old attitude & habits, and cultivate the winning mindset and strategies? Are you looking for something that will point you in the right direction? Well, LOOK NO FURTHER! We have just the right program for you: the SUPER CORE BATCH!
Our founder & director, Vinay Sir, always believed in “learning by doing”. The (SUPER) CORE BATCH is the embodiment of this philosophy. Our very first offline batch in 2014 had just 40 students and we got 5 ranks from it–Ranks 8,26,36,97,392 from 15 odd students who remained (sustained) till the end of the program. We dared to be different from the herd, emphasized that it is practice that matters, not just reading and introduced this as an intensive answer writing program!
Based on our vast experience of conducting thousands of Mains tests and giving personal feedback to toppers; & at the same time gaining insights from students’ feedback – who have been associated with us for long time, the Super Core Batch -2023 Program is going to be a very ambitious initiative meant for ambitious aspirants -where we will deliver definite results.
The fundamental principle that makes core batch unique is its focus on intensive and regular answer writing in a timed manner. Incremental improvement is the mantra of the program! This helps in increasing GS+Essay scores so as to nullify any adverse marks one may get at the Interview (personality stage). Almost everyone who have joined our core batches, especially those who had written mains but had scored less in GS+ Essay, have seen great improvements in their scores- resulting in ranks. There are numerous instances where toppers from InsightsIAS have improved their essay scores from 80s to 140s, 100 to 150s kind of scores; and 70-80 marks improvement in overall GS scores (you can read this in their testimonials).
WHAT MAKES IT SUPER?
- The UPSC CSE MAINS 2022 exam has shown us the dynamic and evolving nature of the paper and how presence of mind and time management are crucial to ace the exam. This batch will make you practice intensively and help you improve in an incremental manner.
- This period from October onwards is very crucial: you need to revise all that you have studied till now and practice by writing. In a few months, you will have to start dedicated studies for the Prelims Exam. Thus, the right time to revise and practice answer writing for Mains is NOW!
TOPPERS FROM CORE BATCHES:
Since its inception in 2014, the Core Batch has been instrumental in creating many toppers, Rank-1 in CSE-2016 (Nandini K R), Rank-17 in CSE-2018 (Rahul Sankanur), Rank-5 in CSE-2019 (Jeydev CS), Rank 40(Anant Dwivedi – Delhi Core Batch), Rank 77(Akshay Simha ) in UPSC CSE 2020 & AIR 31(Avinash) in UPSC CSE 2021.

FEEDBACK ON THE CORE BATCH |
| NITISH K | 8 (UPSC CSE 2014) | “The rigorous schedule of Insights for test series enabled us to complete syllabus in time and also strengthen our answer writing skills. Vinay Sir always used to tell you would get in top 50 .” |
| NEHA KUMARI | 26 (2014) | “I was fortunate enough to manage to get enrolled in the Mains offline program of Insights which did not include any conventional classroom program like typical coaching institutes. We were given daily targets to read for the various topics in CSE Mains exam and we were expected to answer them in the limited time. This was extremely strenuous and needed 100% concentration and dedication. Vinay Sir would always say –“If you are able to handle this pressure, you will surely come out successful.” |
| DK BALAJI | 36 (2014) | “I wrote all Insights tests religiously without missing a single test.The jam-packed preparation for 3.5 months made me confident about Mains. Insights guided and motivated me very much during this phase.The role of insightsonindia.com’s offline test series in helping me score well in this exam is immense. With below average GS scores in previous attempt, I have now ended up with above-average GS scores in this attempt, across all papers. This is not a eulogy. I must say, I would not have even got into the list, without this test series, not to mention of getting fantastic Rank 36.”
|
| Nandini KR | 1 (UPSC CSE 2016) | “The responsibility of writing tests made me more efficient in time management. I improved my speed of writing. This was one of the reasons why I had lost marks in my previous attempt. I focused on improving both quality and speed. At Insights, we had to answer ten questions in one hour. Initially, I struggled to answer 5-6 answers. But, I was pushed to answer more and more at Insights. In the end I could easily answer all 20 questions in 3hours without diluting quality of answers. Writing so many GS tests also improved my speed in optional subject.” |
| Sachin Gupta | 3 (UPSC CSE 2017) | “Fortunately at Insights I was pushed to write tests in a disciplined manner. Slowly after 8-10 tests, one is able to find what to do and what no to do, how to write an answer. I use to interact with Vinay Sir a lot to understand this. But actual struggle after that to internalize the answer writing pattern in your heart & soul and make it a natural way of answer writing. For that one should do intensive answer writing practice.” |
| Jeydev CS | 5 (UPSC CSE 2019) | “The bulk of my preparation for mains revolved around writing answers in a timed setting(I used Insights). In the beginning, I’d aim to write 7 questions (15 marks, 250 words) in 1 hour. Once that aim was met, I set my sights on 3-hour full syllabus mock tests. With time and practice, I was able to complete those papers without leaving any questions.” |
| Avinash | 31 (UPSC CSE 2021) | Was a student of OGP-2021 & CORE BATCH. |
