180-Day UPSC Prelims Study Plan (GS + CSAT)
This 180-day UPSC Prelims study plan is built for aspirants preparing for GS Paper 1 and CSAT with a fixed exam-day target. It structures your remaining months into three phases — syllabus coverage, current affairs integration, and test-series-driven revision — so static subjects (History, Geography, Polity, Economy, Environment) are completed early enough to leave the final 6-8 weeks entirely for mock tests, previous year question analysis, and rapid revision.
Each week includes a dedicated revision day to reinforce what's covered, and CSAT practice is built in throughout rather than left for the end, since it remains a qualifying-but-decisive paper.
Copy this plan to your tracker, adjust the start date to match your exam year, and customize the daily hours to fit your pace.
