Prelims Booster Tests (PBTs) CSE 2026 for
The Inner Circle
What are Prelims Booster Tests?
Prelims Booster Tests (PBT) is a high-intensity, 3-month program designed to prepare aspirants for the real pressure of the Civil Services (Prelims) Examination 2026. With tests on alternate days, it goes beyond routine practice and builds the discipline, stamina, and accuracy required on exam day.
The program ensures comprehensive syllabus coverage with well-structured, UPSC-aligned tests that integrate PYQs and focus on elimination skills. Most importantly, continuous testing and detailed analysis highlight gaps, reduce blind guesses, and steadily improve accuracy.
Who is Part of Inner Circle?
The PBT Inner Circle is a by-invitation, ecosystem-only initiative, reserved for students already preparing within the NEXT IAS learning framework. This 3-month, high-intensity testing track is designed not as an open test series, but as an internal conditioning program, where serious aspirants stress-test their preparation through structured, disciplined, and relentless evaluation.
Note: Students currently enrolled in the GS Foundation or AIM (CSE 2026) batches do not need to register separately for this program.

PBTs Tests Explained
These half-length, topic-focused tests help you build depth and accuracy within a subject. By testing you soon after study and revision, they highlight conceptual gaps early, improve option elimination, and ensure each subject becomes a strength, not a liability. Conducted on weekdays as per syllabus.
These tests help you consolidate an entire subject in one sitting. They train you to link topics, manage fatigue, and maintain accuracy across a longer paper, exactly what UPSC demands when questions span multiple sub-themes of the same subject. Scheduled on weekends.
FLTs are designed to build the Prelims mindset. They train you in real-time decision-making, what to attempt, what to skip, and how to manage risk under time pressure. These tests are crucial for refining attempt strategy, elimination skills, and time management.
Anubhav recreates the actual UPSC exam environment. Conducted once every month, these tests simulate exam-day pressure, competition, and uncertainty, helping you benchmark yourself nationally and assess true readiness. Dates are communicated well in advance to allow focused preparation.
*Students writing tests (online or offline) only on exam day at specified time will considered for ranklist.
