Hey, UPSC aspirant. Let’s be honest for a sec.
Let me ask you why?
Whatever the reason, you chose History. And what did you do next?
You bought 3 books. Watched 40 hours of lectures. Downloaded every PDF from Telegram.
And now you’re here — searching for one more resource to finally “start”.
After all that…
Can you write a 10-marker on Mauryan administration right now, without Googling?
If yes — congrats. Close this tab.
If no — you don’t have a knowledge problem. You have a retention problem.
And sitting through another 2-hour class won’t fix it.
If this hits you, good news: I have a solution.
I built Micro-Learning because I was you. I couldn’t sit through 2.5-hour lectures. I’d finish one feeling smart. 2 weeks later, blank.
So my advice: Don’t strain yourself. Be calm and paced. Paced learning brings consistency and peace of mind.
We meet in 4 different 10-min videos a day. That’s it.
Malayalam-English mix when I explain. English when you write.
The lectures are based on UPSC priority themes. You need not waste your time mugging up irrelevant things in History for the exam. UPSC has a pattern. Through this journey, we’ll learn the pattern and build on it.
Nothing works if you ignore answer writing. So we have a paced system for that too.
You’ll write at least one answer outline every week. I’ll check it. Not with a “good” tick mark. With red pen.
I deliberately limited the student intake to 15 because I can’t hide behind a batch of 100.
Now why wait, let's check whether we can go together in this journey.

Without a single all-nighter

Ancient, Medieval, Modern. Because we plan for forgetting
PDFs that look like answer booklets, not textbooks. PYQs 2013-2025 with my solutions. A booklist that tells you what to skip.
I’m Chinju. I was a UPSC aspirant with History Optional. After 2 years of prep, I cleared UGC-NET with JRF.
I quit UPSC, worked as Assistant Professor in History, then resigned to do my PhD — because I got obsessed with digging up the ‘unwanted’ things. The footnotes nobody reads.
For that work, I was awarded the Swiss National Science Foundation Grant and published internationally. Now I’m saturated.
So I turned my attention to UPSC aspirants who took History Optional and found no one to actually guide them. Not just dump lectures.
But honestly, that doesn’t matter. What matters is if this 10-min format clicks for you.
Try 3 sessions. If you still prefer 2-hour lectures, I’ll refund you.
I’d rather have 15 students who love the method than 50 who ghost after a month.

Why 15 seats? Because I grade 15 answers every night. That’s my limit.

This isn’t for everyone. If you want notes dumped on you, there’s YouTube.
If you want to remember History and write like it’s second nature, I’ll see you in class.
