Stepping Stones 2026: A Structured GS Mains Answer Writing Plan
Stepping Stones 2026 is a 6-month structured initiative by IAS RAW designed for serious aspirants targeting UPSC CSE Mains 2026. The plan offers a day- wise approach to systematically cover the entire GS1, GS2, GS3, and GS4 syllabus through daily answer writing.
Each weekday, we post three questions — two 10-markers and one 15-marker — by 12 PM. The questions follow a paper-wise sequence: starting with GS2, then GS3, GS1, and finally GS4. This helps aspirants build conceptual clarity and develop consistency without feeling overwhelmed.
For each question, we share:
-
A structured approach to understand and frame the answer
-
Relevant sources for content enrichment
-
A concise, handwritten answer (exam-oriented)
-
A detailed, digital answer (learning-oriented)
Additionally, Essay practice and Prelims-focused MCQs are included on alternate Sundays, offering a well-rounded preparation cycle.
The entire initiative is completely free — no fees, no registrations. It’s a sincere effort to help aspirants stay grounded, stay consistent, and master the art of answer writing, one step at a time.
Join us and start building your Mains readiness from today.
