Youtube channels useful for UPSC preparation

Youtube channels I found incredibly useful during my preparation:

1. Bookstawa: For History and Polity

2. Amit Sengupta Sir's videos for Geography

3. Mrunal Patel Sir's videos for Economy and GS-3 topics

4. Parcham Classes for Environment (especially for factual information)

5. Clarity for UPSC by Dr. Shivin Choudhary for Science and Tech

6. Daily news analysis of Byjus and Rau's IAS for Current affairs

For motivation and UPSC guidance:

1. UnderStand UPSC by Satyam Jain Sir has been a huge source of inspiration

2. Mental Health and UPSC by Dr. Shivin

3. UPSCprep by Abhijeet Yadav Sir (especially the mistakes to be avoided during UPSC prep and lessons from his journey)

4. Once in a while Toppers Talk from various platforms like Vision IAS etc.

Note: I owe a lot to YouTube channels. I never did any formal coaching, so whatever clarity I would get from these videos, I'd take them. I would also exercise discretion with respect to the advice given. I never followed advice blindly, but I did try to incorporate basic principles if I found them to be sound and common across platforms.

With that being said, I am so thankful to these channels for being so generous with their knowledge and experience. They stand for the decentralisation of influence from Delhi and allow people from small places some hope. Continually blessed to be part of a world in which teachers and guides like them exist. 🙏🤍
