Lakhs of students appear every year for the exam but few of them get selected.
The only thing that is required is complete preparation strategy, determination and focus.
Things to be kept in mind while preparing for clearing the UPSC entrance examination-
● Planned approach
● Coaching
● Right Study Material
● IAS Test Series
● Revision
● Optional Subject
Planned Approach-
A goal without proper planning remains a mere dream. This is also true in the case of civil services. Before starting preparation you should go through the Syllabus of both prelims and mains exam. Every student has their own approach to preparing but only the most effective plan will help an aspirant sail through the exam.The exam is conducted in 3 phases in a 12 month tenure. So a complete strategy will definitely help you.
Coaching-
Coaching institutes help in preparing for the exam in a focussed and strategize manner.The selection of right coaching is must for the excellent preparation. If classroom IAS coaching is focused, according to the latest requirements of the UPSC, this approach can quickly place aspirants on the right path.
Also one can study and prepare for upsc exams at home with some help from online coaching and books.
Right Study Material-
It is very important to know the syllabus of the exam precisely. Preparation is always based on the syllabus so know the syllabus first. Paste it in front of your study table. Mark your strong and weak points. Always trust your teachers and mentors rather than on searching by your own. Studying from the wrong syllabus and preferring the wrong study material would prove a disaster for you. Always prefer the stand sources for all the topics.
IAS Test Series-
Clearing exams of CA & CS is not an easy task and not everyone's cup of tea. It requires comprehensive preparation right from conceptual basis. And attempting the test series will give you practice, confidence and self analysis of yourself. Several IAS institutions conduct monthly test series which can benefit you in your preparation along with providing you the stature where you stand in the exam.
Revision-
Revision is considered a must do for an exam .
Even though exams seem like a few months away, the earlier you start your revision, the more prepared you will be.i personally suggest that you can even put these posters up on your bedroom wall so they become a part of everyday life and get absorbed more deeply.
There’s a whole load of practice papers available online to download and use, or teachers can provide tests from previous years. Our top tip is to make sure they’re completed under timed conditions.
Optional Subject-
Precisely select the optional subject. Because 2optional subjects contain 500 marks in the sum total. The optional subjects should not contain extensive syllabus.
The IAS exam is cleared by many irrespective of backgrounds – engineers, government servants, doctors, teachers, students, science graduates, humanities graduates, etc so optional subjects should be chosen according to the related field or area of interest.
