UPSC mind maps for GS 1 chapters

IAS Labs has 58 ready-made UPSC mind maps, one for each GS 1 chapter. Each puts a chapter on one picture. In recall mode the branches hide and you say each one before it appears, which is revision, not rereading. The GS 1 maps are free, and you can try one below.

How it works

  1. Walk: Go branch by branch to learn the chapter's shape.
  2. Recall: The branches hide, and you say each one before revealing it.
  3. Edit: Add your own notes so the map matches what you studied.

Questions

Are the UPSC mind maps free?
The 58 GS 1 chapter maps are free, and so is making your own. The 220+ maps across GS 1 to GS 4 come with the paid plan.
What is recall mode?
The branches of a map hide, and you say each one before revealing it. Recalling a branch is what makes it stick; looking at a finished map is rereading in a new shape.
Can I use mind maps for Mains answers?
Yes. A map's branches are a ready answer structure: an intro from the centre, then one paragraph per branch.
Are there maps for GS 2?
Ready-made GS 2 chapter mind maps come with the paid plan. You can make your own map for any paper for free; folders to organise them come with the paid plan.
How many maps should I revise in a day?
Two or three in recall mode is plenty. Recall is tiring, and that is why it works.
