Satyam Gandhi’s UPSC AIR 10: First-Attempt Preparation Lessons
According to media reports at the time, Satyam Gandhi secured AIR 10 in UPSC CSE 2020 on his first attempt through largely self-directed preparation. His approach combined standard books, personal notes, a strong prelims focus and around 120 mock tests. He did not join coaching for prelims or mains preparation, but used an online platform for mock tests and interview guidance.
