Tanya Singh joined FIRST IAS INSTITUTE knowing Paper II could separate her from the crowd. Faculty essay workshops became her weekly priority.

She built a bank of introductions, examples, and conclusions for recurring themes—security, governance, and social issues—without memorising entire essays.

Paper I GS stayed on a tight revision loop with sectional tests. Mentors flagged overconfidence in familiar topics that still produce silly errors.

ITBP selection matched her preference for a challenging field force environment.

Tanya believes CAPF aspirants often undertrain Paper II; deliberate essay practice can be a decisive advantage.

“Paper II was my differentiator. Weekly essay feedback turned average writing into exam-ready structure.”
