Guide
How to use an UPSC planner
UPSC preparation is a long stretch of syllabus coverage, revision, answer writing and current affairs. A UPSC planner breaks the year into phases and topics, and keeps a daily record, so you can see what's done and what still needs another round.
Shade the phase plan
Mark which months go to prelims, mains, your optional, current affairs, mock tests and revision.
Track the syllabus
List each paper and topic with your sources, then tick off coverage and two revision rounds.
Write answers every day
The answer writing log has date, question, paper, time taken, word count and feedback.
Take mock tests
Log past papers and mock tests with scores and weak areas to revisit.
Plan each week
The weekly study planner and habit tracker keep newspaper reading, revision and answer writing on track.
What to include in an UPSC planner
A UPSC study planner should show coverage and revision at a glance. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Dated month calendars and a weekly page for each week. No daily pages; weekly study planners do the detailed planning.

Theme
Starts in this look.
Dark Academia
Dark mode with warm brown leather and old-library gold.
Prefer something else? Pick from 13 themes, including dark mode and an e-ink theme, and change the accent colour.
See all themesDoes it include the official exam dates?
No. Write the dates from the official UPSC calendar onto the month pages when it's published, as they can change from year to year.
Can I change the subjects?
Yes. The defaults are common GS areas; type your own subjects, including your optional, in the builder.
Is there a free UPSC planner?
You can build this UPSC planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the UPSC planner?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the UPSC planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
Is the UPSC planner dated or undated?
Dated by default, starting in January 2027. You can pick any start month and year (including this month), a length from 3 months to 5 years, and Monday or Sunday weeks. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself, so a skipped week isn't wasted.
Does the AI fill in the UPSC planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the UPSC planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 227 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the UPSC Prep, Study, Habits and Monthly Reviews pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
