I want to purchase mindmaps
Your membership is already active. Thanks for the purchase.
Sir, I have taken membership, how can I access mindmaps?
Just use the menu to navigate to different pages. Or visit the home page for quick links.
Sir, do u provide static mind map of all subjects?
Yes. Visit the homepage. All links are available there. Or you can also click the menu for links.
Will I get previous mindmapstoo if I join any of these plans?
Yes, you will.
Sir..Is it possible to add our own points in the static mindmaps?
Yes. There is an “Add Notes” button on every page that is visible after you log-in. Click it to add notes and it’ll be saved in our database forever. To read them, just open that page and click that button again.
Nice
Thank you.
If I take subscription will I be able to access past content?
Yes, You can access both both past and future contents until expiry.
Why I’m not able to log in even though I have a subscription
Your membership is currently active = you can log in without any issues. Try clearing your browser cookie/cache and login again. It’ll work.
If I have renewed my plan now , when will it activate? Today or after expiry of current plan. Coz I don’t want to lose remaining 2 month’s period.
Today itself. But renewal will add extra months rather than replacing months of the current plan. So you will not lose months of your current plan. Rest assured. But upgrade would replace the current plan’s validity.
Sir, Is this help us for preparing ISS?
I don’t know much about ISS. But our mindmaps are helpful for any exams which have the general studies portion.
Sir
Is there any mechanism for evaluation of the answers of the questions that you provided under “test yourself”?
No. Not yet.

Anything for free
50% Mains Current Articles and some chapters in static mindmaps are free. Also, free materials like ncert, nios, yojana, TN books, etc are compiled and organised at https://www.iasexpress.net/upsc-study-materials/.
before your mindmaps reading, we have to read any standard books ? or simply read your mindmaps to score good marks in objective question paper for state public service commision exams.
You can read our mindmaps for the first read itself as our mindmaps explain concepts better than books itself in a simple manner. But it’s better to keep the book beside you to refer to any topic that are confusing to read in the mindmap format.
