Description
What is a Mindmap
- A mind map can turn a long list of boring information into a colourful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brainโs natural way of doing things.
- A mind map is hierarchical and reflects relationships among pieces of the whole.
- Whenever you make notes from books or newspapers, instead of writing paragraphs or bullet points, you can make a mind map for the big-picture analysis and better recall.
- How to make a mind map?
- Step 1: Write the main concept at the centre of the page.
- Step 2: Write sub-topics around the main concept and link them together.
- Step 3: Write the key points under each-subtopics.
- Step 4: Mark relationship (if any) between different points in the mind map.
- Above is the example mind map from our article on the statue of unity issue. Here,
- Statue of unity โ the Main concept
- Why in news? Who is Patel? Etc โ Sub-topics
- Then the nodes that branch out from sub-topics are key points.

Thank you.
Vikas Hooda (verified owner) –
To be really honest I haven’t seen or found any platform on the internet which could match the output ratio of IAS express, this platform is just unbelievably amazing and very effective in quick revision.
Why do I like this platform?
1) very very low cost for notes of all the (pre + mains ) subjects add to that CA topics analysis from various newspapers on hot topics.
2) notes are designed in such a way that help you to recollect more while revising rather than just reading them.
3) most of the notes from standard books i.e NCERT, Laxmikanth, Ramesh Singh, Tamilnadu history books.
4) IAS Express responds to emails immediately.
This is the first time writing feedback on any website simply because of the reason that I have liked it very very very much.
Thank you
Santhosh Kumar –
Thank you so much, Vikas for making the time to provide such a nice review. And thanks for all the feedbacks and updates that you’ve frequently suggested to me. I’m working on it. IAS EXPRESS will become a one-stop destination for UPSC aspirants in no time. Thanks for being a member.

I would like to tell everyone one should invest in this site and you will not regret it after taking membership. thank you iasexpress for doing such a great job.

I wanted to thank you for the mindmaps as they have been very useful while studying.
Santhosh Kumar –
You’re welcome. And thanks for the positive review.
Mohan (verified owner) –
A great way to retain the subject with crisp points. A single book strategy for a subject ends up in a score around the cutoff. In some perspective, “Too much materials seems to be dangerous”. Studying more and more books of same subject also leads to confusion at the last minute. IE’s approach of balancing these two strategies is definitely a saviour for last minute revision and face the exam with more confidence.
Santhosh Kumar –
Thank you Mohan for making time to write such a nice review. I’m glad IE helps in your preparation.

Great Content.
naveen (verified owner) –
Love it and the effort put in shows but I have 3 requests.
1.Add more pictures to the mind map because something visual can be memorized quicker and will not be monotonous to study.
2.Some points in the mind map are very vague so we can’t under the logic or the context so please elaborate on that like some note attached to mind map or something.
3.please add a feature or editable file where I can add some points as the mind map might lack my points or I can remove some points so as to make them more crisp.
Again thank you for your efforts.

I’m not sure whether it is sufficient for prelims (though I believe no other sources are sufficient). But it is more than sufficient for mains… I give five stars for your efforts… Thank you so much
Santhosh Kumar –
You cannot find any source sufficient because UPSC may ask questions from any source they want. But we work really hard to reach the sufficiency (you can see that from prelims CA mindmaps and mains articles itself). Thank you for the feedback. Good luck with your exams.

Sorry. It would be unproductive to make articles on each and every topic which is not important for the mains exam. You can cover those topics in prelims CA mindmaps itself as a brief. The analysis is only provided for important issues for mains only.

Iasexpress’s work is really praise worthy. I remembered in 2021 prelims I was able to answer one question about Hyderabad as a tree city nd published by Abor foundation etc.. which I had read in iasexpress current affairs where they have given in a very crisp mindmap . I could have answered more current affairs easily if I had covered monthly magazines thoroughly. Your work is making our preparation bit easier in many ways. Please keep doing this work .
