Anthropology Strategy Resources: 1. Foundation Course notes- I did my Anthro Foundation course from Sosin IAS Academy, Hyderabad. 2. Anthropology Crash Course and test series in 2025 from Level Up IAS 3. Vivek Bhasme sir's book, Akshat Jain sir's book 4. Toppers notes- Laghima Tiwari mam notes for Ch:2-5,10-12 paper-1, Mandar Patki sir's notes for most of the chapter in Paper 2,Narayan Amit sir's notes for Ch-6 paper-1. Strategy: 1. Try to complete 1 basic reading and get a broad understanding of the subject. 2. Look at PYQs and identify important chapters. 3. Try to consolidate the notes and focus on value addition and revision 4. Instead of rote learning focus on understanding the concepts. This will help you in interlinking different chapters and also your answers will stand out from the rest. 5. I focussed more on PYQs and brainstorming this time. 6. I wrote some mock tests but faced time management issues in them- helped me remain extra cautious during mains. 7. Making very short notes especially for Paper 2 will help you to revise in those 5 days before exam and also 2 hrs gap between 2 papers. Yarasi Tusharika AIR 393 UPSC CSE 2025
