Description
What is a Mindmap
- A mind map can turn a long list of boring information into a colourful, memorable and highly organized diagram that works in line with your brain’s natural way of doing things.
- A mind map is hierarchical and reflects relationships among pieces of the whole.
- Whenever you make notes from books or newspapers, instead of writing paragraphs or bullet points, you can make a mind map for the big-picture analysis and better recall.
- How to make a mind map?
- Step 1: Write the main concept at the centre of the page.
- Step 2: Write sub-topics around the main concept and link them together.
- Step 3: Write the key points under each-subtopics.
- Step 4: Mark relationship (if any) between different points in the mind map.
- Above is the example mind map from our article on the statue of unity issue. Here,
- Statue of unity – the Main concept
- Why in news? Who is Patel? Etc – Sub-topics
- Then the nodes that branch out from sub-topics are key points.

Great Content.
naveen (verified owner) –
Love it and the effort put in shows but I have 3 requests.
1.Add more pictures to the mind map because something visual can be memorized quicker and will not be monotonous to study.
2.Some points in the mind map are very vague so we can’t under the logic or the context so please elaborate on that like some note attached to mind map or something.
3.please add a feature or editable file where I can add some points as the mind map might lack my points or I can remove some points so as to make them more crisp.
Again thank you for your efforts.

Only thing I’m unsatisfied is one current affair article per day. Please make it to atleast 5.
Santhosh Kumar (store manager) –
Sorry. It would be unproductive to make articles on each and every topic which is not important for the mains exam. You can cover those topics in prelims CA mindmaps itself as a brief. The analysis is only provided for important issues for mains only.

It will help me alot but it will be nice when you provide only GS current affairs because everyone will read static part and many of them neglect current affairs so if you provide it, it will be too good

The app is really useful. The static part is excellent. But if you could provide daily current affairs updates I think this app will beat out every other civil services app.
Vikas (verified owner) –
Content wise is good.
But opening of mindmap is time taking.
It will be good if mindmap is get opened fully in one go.
Deepak singh bisht (verified owner) –
Reducing 1 star as the contents are the best in the industry and useful for all the state services plus the great upsc but I do think that the printable PDF atleast should be provided to easily revise and recall . This would help the candidate in achieving their dreams at ease and in quick time.

Iasexpress’s work is really praise worthy. I remembered in 2021 prelims I was able to answer one question about Hyderabad as a tree city nd published by Abor foundation etc.. which I had read in iasexpress current affairs where they have given in a very crisp mindmap . I could have answered more current affairs easily if I had covered monthly magazines thoroughly. Your work is making our preparation bit easier in many ways. Please keep doing this work .
Savan (verified owner) –
your mindmaps is really helpful to revise quickly but if you can give an Edit button than it become more helpful and valueable for us who prepared in regional language so we can add terminology in regional language….
