SCALING THE SUMMIT CALLED “IAS”


SCALING THE SUMMIT CALLED “IAS”
As in any endeavour of significance, success in the Civil Services Examination, conducted by the UPSC, requires planning and execution. The test is highly competitive. The cream of educated youth vie for a career in the civil services, and a candidate has to prove his or her superior knowledge, skills and other attributes of suitability over those of the competitions.
It is desirable that the preliminary and main examinations are taken as a single unit for preparation. In the GS paper, questions on anything under the sun can be asked. Since no one can master everything, the focus areas should be carefully selected.
Selection implies judicious elimination of “unimportant” areas as well. With its inexhaustible content, GS demands concentration on the more probable areas from the point of view of the examination. Question papers of the previous examinations are the only sole guide in the matter. The trend may change but the previous question papers can still be an anchor to go ahead with the preparations. But no questions in GS papers have repeated so far is the important thing to be noted in this.
For many candidates, the examination proves to be a test of nerves, since they take it as a life-and-death struggle. For appearing in this examination, one should have confident at first. HARD WORK and SELF CONFIDENCE are the best medicines to clear this examination. Repeated revisions are a must.
