So I've seen many toppers clearing this mains year after year and always thought whether Mains too has some formula/trend/thread/mechanics etc like in Prelims,or is it really a blind-game??Is there anything toppers do to pass the mains assuredly each time?I have cleared 2 prelims and wrote mains too(couldn't clear 2024 one),but somewhat underconfident when it comes to mains!!!!Anything?
