Best PSIR Optional Foundation Programme for UPSC CSE 2027
PSIR Optional is one of the most popular optional subjects in the Civil Services Examination. UPSC's own annual report shows 1,863 candidates appeared in the CSE Mains with PSIR Optional in 2020, the highest count among all optionals that year. The subject also overlaps closely with GS Paper I, II, III, IV and Essay, making every hour of preparation count in more than one place. Our Foundation Programme, led by Dr. Vivek Kaushik, builds conceptual clarity in Political Theory and International Relations, sharpens answer writing through regular practice, and backs every attempt with detailed, personalised feedback.
