Mains Support Program (MSP) for UPSC 2026 helps aspirants improve answer writing with daily practice, faster evaluation, and personalised mentorship.
Focused on consistency and continuous improvement, MSP is designed to help students convert preparation into better Mains marks.
What Is Edukemy’s Mains Support Program?
The Mains Support Program is a structured post-Prelims initiative created to strengthen Mains performance through guided practice and expert mentorship. It is not a syllabus completion course or a short-term crash batch. The entire framework revolves around one goal: helping aspirants convert preparation into marks.
At Edukemy, the MSP is divided into three dedicated programs:
Geography Optional MSP
Designed for aspirants preparing Geography Optional with focused mentorship, rapid revision, answer writing, and test practice.
GS Mains Support Program
Covers all four GS papers along with Essay preparation through structured tests, discussions, and evaluation.
Essay MSP
Focused exclusively on Essay preparation with dedicated practice, answer evaluation, and feedback sessions.
While each program has its own structure and faculty, all of them follow the same approach — practice-driven preparation backed by continuous feedback.
Who Mentors the Program?
The MSP is mentored by Shabbir Sir (Shabbir A. Bashir), co-founder of Edukemy and a renowned UPSC mentor with 18+ years of experience.
Known for his guidance in Geography Optional and Mains preparation, he has mentored multiple UPSC toppers over the years.
Many successful Geography Optional aspirants have prepared under his mentorship through the Foundation Course and MSP. Some recent examples include:
- Utkarsh — AIR 32 (UPSC CSE 2025)
- Soumya Sharma — AIR 168 (UPSC CSE 2025)
- Divya — AIR 182 (UPSC CSE 2025)
What makes his mentorship stand out is the focus on how UPSC actually rewards answers. The emphasis is not on memorised templates, but on analytical thinking, current affairs integration, and administrative perspective.
Why Edukemy’s MSP Stands Out
1. Designed Specifically for Mains 2026
The Geography MSP includes probable questions for Mains 2026, model answers for the last seven years of PYQs, 130 case studies, and 200 Places in News integrated with current affairs. The material is updated and curated specifically for the upcoming exam cycle instead of being reused generic content.
2. Structured Mains Test Series
The program follows the actual exam pattern through sectional and full-length tests. Every submitted copy is evaluated, followed by detailed discussions and model answers after each test. This helps aspirants identify gaps early and continuously improve answer quality.
3. Serious Mentorship Ecosystem
Unlike programs that stop at content delivery, MSP focuses heavily on mentorship and peer learning. Aspirants participate in live answer writing sessions with toppers and receive feedback from mentors, toppers, and peers.
Students also get access to an exclusive closed mentorship group guided by Shabbir Sir. The group includes qualified, interview-appeared, and mains-appeared aspirants, creating a highly serious and competitive environment. Entry is performance-based and decided through tests.
4. Consistent Answer Writing Practice
Daily answer writing forms the core of the program. The goal is not just to make students write regularly, but to help them write better with every test, discussion, and evaluation cycle.

Another Important Layer: Yooki
Along with MSP, Edukemy also offers Yooki — an AI-powered UPSC self-study platform available at askyooki.com.
Yooki helps aspirants connect daily current affairs with the GS syllabus, practice answer writing, track preparation progress, and maintain consistency throughout the preparation cycle. It works as a 24×7 support system between mentorship sessions and helps aspirants stay disciplined during the crucial months before Mains.
