I hope you all are aware of GPT and using it judiciously. If not, Highly recommend to Integrate ChatGPT in your preparation:

1. For Mains,
   - Generate facts/insightful dimensions on PYQs and different sub topics of syllabus
   - Generate Introductions for all sub topics
   - Give it sample PYQs and syllabus of last few years, and based on it ask it to Predict questions in context of current affairs of last two years
   - Generate ethics case study and give solutions in multiple dimensions
   - Generate quotes/reports/committees
   - Generate insights from pdf’s etc

2. For Personality Test,
   - Prompt GPT to simulate your interview board and ask you questions and answer it also.

If you need to take subscription of GPT 4 which can browse internet and can answer more accurately, I will advise it’s a valuable investment in your preparation (share the subscription in your study group).

If I was preparing today, I would have definitely done the above. All the very best.
