SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
How the Civitas Training System Works
CivitasIAS is not a content platform or a conventional test series. It is a discipline-conditioning system designed around how UPSC actually filters candidates.
EXAM LOGIC
How UPSC Actually Filters Candidates
PRELIMS · DECISION FILTER
- Decision-making under uncertainty
- Risk management with negative marking
- Elimination over blind recall
- Letting go as a trained skill
MAINS · EXECUTION FILTER
- Structured articulation of ideas
- Directive awareness in answers
- Stamina under cognitive fatigue
- Clarity, not content volume
TRAINING UNITS
What Civitas Actually Trains
Silly Mistakes
Errors caused by haste, misreading, or loss of focus
Risky Attempts
Low-probability guesses taken under pressure
Knowledge Gaps
Conceptual blind spots exposed by real questions
Revision Failures
Known content not retrievable at the right moment
CONSTRAINT ENGINE
Discipline by Design, Not Convenience
Offline OMR & Writing
Designed for the exam hall, not screen comfort
Fixed Time Windows
No pause, no resume — attempt under constraints
Manual Submission
Effort-based workflows filter seriousness automatically
Manual Error Classification
You analyse mistakes; the system records patterns
SYSTEM ENGINE
The Attempt → Outcome → Reflection Loop
STEP 1
Attempt
You attempt a test or answer under fixed constraints to generate authentic performance data.
STEP 2
Outcome
Scores, time taken, and question-level results are captured as neutral data.
STEP 3
Reflection
Every error is classified into Civitas categories to expose behavioural patterns.
STEP 4
Adjustment
Preparation strategy is modified based on visible patterns, not intuition.
