Prompt: UPSC GS Macro & Micro-Tagging Builder

Here’s a reusable prompt that will help aspirants create their own Level 1 (macro) and Level 2 (micro) tagging of the GS syllabus for both Prelims and Mains:

Instruction to ChatGPT:

"I am preparing for the UPSC exam. Help me create a structured tagging framework for my GS preparation.

1️⃣ Level 1: Macro-Tagging

• Break the GS syllabus into broad subject buckets (e.g., Polity, Economy, Environment, etc.).

• For each subject, classify topics as Prelims-heavy, Mains-heavy, Current-affairs-dependent, or Foundation/Reservoir (NCERT-based).

2️⃣ Level 2: Micro-Tagging

• For each topic within a subject, create a table with these columns:

  • Topic Name

  • Exam Orientation (Prelims / Mains / Both)

  • Current Affairs Link (Yes/No)

  • Foundation Tag (Core NCERT, Applied, Analytical)

  • My Strength Level (Strong / Moderate / Weak — I will fill this)

  • Notes/Instructions (Give reflective prompts to help me think why this topic matters, not just memorize it.)

3️⃣ Customization:

• Ask me to feed my own syllabus/topic list (or pick one subject at a time).

• Add a reflective space to mark why a topic is important for governance, not just for exam scoring.

⚠️ Note: The goal is to make me understand the tagging logic, not just give a chart. Always include a short explainer of why each tag matters strategically."

✅ How to Use

• Copy the entire above prompt into ChatGPT.

• Feed one subject at a time (e.g., “Start with Economy”).

• Update “My Strength Level” yourself after self-assessment.

• Over time, create a personal syllabus map that acts as both a content planner and a reflection tool.
