Option 1 is sufficient as it covers 100% of the syllabus, including course content and previous year questions (PYQs). All the material is well-structured and available on our online Learning Management System (LMS), so there is no requirement for Printed Books from a coverage perspective.
However, we offer Printed Books separately to help reduce your screen time. Our objective is to ensure that you can study comfortably with printed books without always needing to sit in front of a computer screen.
There are total of 24 Books. For each of 12 units, there is 1 book on the syllabus covergae and 1 on PYQs of last 25 years.

It is five-step process. Let us take any keyword from the syllabus, such as “Line Balancing” from unit of Production and Operations Management.
1. Video Lecture: Start by watching the video lecture on the topic of “Line Balancing.” This will give you a foundational understanding.
2. Read Content: Next, read the content related to “Line Balancing” either from Printed Books or online on the LMS.
3. Review PYQs: Then review and solve all the Previous Year Questions (PYQs) related to “Line Balancing” that have appeared in exams since 2000. You can do this either from Printed Books or on the Online LMS.
4. Unit-wise Tests: Once you have completed the entire unit of Production and Operations Management, get in touch with us. We will send you two sectional tests of 45 minutes each. Attempt the tests, share your answers with us, and we will schedule a Google Meet session to analyse your answer writing.
5. Mock Tests: Once you are done with all 12 units of the syllabus, you will go through full-length mock test papers. The detailed process is explained below in another FAQ.
Human Peritus will support and mentor you during your journey in the following four ways to ensure personalized guidance:
1. Once you enroll, we will set up a Google Meet session to guide you on where to start, which areas to focus more or less on, what to study from books and what from videos, how to make a timetable, plan your coverage, and notes making.
2. Every 20 days, you will get in touch with us for a Google Meet session to review your study progress.
3. As soon as you complete any one unit, we will provide you with a 45-minute sectional test. You will write the answers, share them with us, and then we will set up a Google Meet session to discuss your answer writing.
4. Once your syllabus is completed, we will set up a Google Meet session to analyse full-length mock tests. The detailed process of mock tests is explained in another FAQ below.

The following are the steps for the Mock Test Series conducted by Human Peritus:
- You will receive 6 full-length tests in printed format via courier. Each test will contain two papers (Paper-I and Paper-II), resulting in a total of 12 papers.
- For each paper, you will receive three things: (i) Question Paper (ii) Answer Writing Sheet as per UPSC format (iii) Model Answers with detailed solutions.
- Before attempting any test, ensure that you have at least two graph papers and four distribution tables (standard normal, F test, t test, and Chi Square). You can download them from here and take a printout. Download Graph Papers and Distribution Tables.
- Once written, you can send your test to us for evaluation via email as a scanned PDF or by courier. Our teachers will evaluate and send you the marks and comments via email or courier. Although you have both options (PDF or courier), we advise sending it via courier.
- You can send as many tests as you want and as many times as you want. Our maximum turnaround time will be 10 days.
- Once you receive your evaluated test, analyze your performance and review the model answers to understand where you can improve.
- Additionally, for a given test, we will conduct one-on-one online sessions with our teachers. During these sessions, we will discuss:
- Answer writing
- Selecting 5 questions out of 8
- Identifying subjects/topics areas where you need improvement
- How to represent the same answer with better diagrams or better examples.
- There will be 4 one-on-one sessions with each student, discussing any two tests of your choice (four papers).
