Features of our EPW segment

• The EPW has been a favourite with UPSC aspirants because of its good quality and amazing coverage.
• While the original magazine covers a variety of topics and events, only a few are relevant and required for the IAS exam. Students have a hard time picking those exam-worthy articles. Our segment covers only those needed exclusively for IAS.
• Our segment provides a gist of the relevant articles. Students need not waste time reading the entire article or research paper. What we provide is in a crisp and ready-to-read format for the civil services exam.
• In the UPSC exam, students need to write multiple perspectives on issues covering different angles such as social, cultural, legal, economic, political, etc. This segment will analyse the various articles on EPW from different angles and present it in the best possible manner for the UPSC IAS exam.
