Pavneet Singh is the mind behind UPSC Lal Kitab, founder of TMENTORS UPSC, and the educator through his impactful Pavneet Singh UPSC YouTube channel, where he distils deep insights into practical, result-driven frameworks for aspirants. Drawing from years of teaching and mentorship, he transforms complex theory into clear, actionable steps that have helped thousands redefine their approach and unleash their true potential in civil services examination.
This book burns the rulebook. Lal Kitab is not another “how to crack UPSC” manual written in recycled coaching clichés. It is a war cry against everything the UPSC ecosystem does to confuse, distract, and paralyze you. It tears through the myth that more hours mean more success. It laughs at the idea that toppers are born superhuman. It dismantles the industrial maze of telegram PDFs, one-size-fits-all timetables, and fear-based content marketing that thrives on your anxiety. This is the book that teaches you how to build your own compass. It doesn’t just tell you what to study—it shows you how to know what not to study. You’ll learn how to design your own timeline whether you’re a college student, working aspirant, or full-time candidate. You’ll walk away with a sharp, curated booklist that trims the fat and targets the exam. No more studying what’s available—you’ll study what’s essential. Here, you won’t be told to “just revise more.” You’ll be shown why you can’t revise—and how your own brain sabotages you. You’ll learn how to build a daily system that resists resistance, rewires impulse, and protects your energy from dopamine traps disguised as productivity. This book isn’t about romanticizing hard work. It’s about replacing chaos with cold-blooded clarity. No borrowed quotes. No hollow motivation. Just brutal honesty and battle-tested frameworks. If you’ve ever felt this exam is swallowing your identity, Lal Kitab hands it back—with armour.

Secret History of Selection of Supreme Court Judges
About the book:
The central argument of this book is that despite all established formal constitutional requirements, there are multiple unwritten criteria that are used for appointing judges to the Supreme Court. The book examines the debates surrounding the Indian judicial system and anecdotal evidences and deeply analyses the Indian political developments that resulted in the present 'collegium system' of appointing judges to the Supreme Court of India and brings to the fore the secret and unwritten criteria that have determined the selection of judges to the highest court of law in this country. The National Judicial Appointments Commission's (NJAC) judgment on the appointment of judges to the Supreme Court has been the subject of a deeply polarized debate in the public sphere and academia. This book subsequently analyses the NJAC judgment and provides a rich context to it, in terms of philosophical, comparative, and constitutional issues that underpin it. The book examines the secret constitutional principles behind selecting judges and their application in the NJAC judgment; and comparatively looks at the judicial appointments process in the United Kingdom, South Africa, and Pakistan, enquiring into what makes a good judge and an effective appointments process. The book is a deep dive into the constitutional concepts of judicial independence and separation of powers as discussed in the NJAC judgment.About The Author:
