Prelims from First Principles (PFP) Package · 9 courses

This course covers 1.5 years of current affairs, from January 2026 to 10 May 2027. Each class focuses on the concept a question may test, such as an institution, a law, a scheme, a science topic or a place, and carries its own notes and practice questions.

Topics include Polity and Governance, Economy, Ecology and Environment, Science and Technology, International Relations, Government Schemes, Art and Culture, Reports and Indices, Defence and Internal Security, Places in News, and Summits, Missions and International Organisations.

Live classes run from 17 January to 15 May 2027 in their own slots, so they do not clash with the GS block, CSAT or other modules. Classes close one week before the examination.
