No, we at UPSC Pathshala do not provide notes or any physical material. This is to encourage you to make your own notes while watching the videos. You can share the same with the mentor who will assess them for you.

The videos have been compiled by referring many newspapers at a time. So you do not need to refer to newspaper completely if you are watching the videos. But we do recommend you read the editorials regurlarly.

• Checkpoint questions after every video to help check your understanding of the concept taught.
• Modulewise tests at regular intervals to help track your progress.
• Full length test for both Prelims and Mains for to help you get the feel of UPSC
