AIR 186, UPSC 2018, Shafqat Amna-
1.
Read and understand the UPSC CSE Syllabus thoroughly.
Especially the subtopics- One must read them numerous times that you tend to
learn them.
2.
Start with NCERT’s, especially for Geography and
History and then the standard books which too must be limited and revisions
must be done a number of times. In all, your class notes would be enough for your
preparation, along with the reading and understanding of one standard textbook
for every subject.
3.
Then comes Answer Writing Practice for mains.For
this main problem which aspirants face is of the structure of the answer. For
this, read the question properly, such that the key points and what is being
asked in the question must be inculcated in your answer in a proper structure. Use
maps and diagrams for illustrating the answer. This needs practice and
mentoring.
4.
Practice Daily answer writing and give regular
tests for revision and practice.
5.
Keep yourself motivated, listen to your
teachers, topper’s , friends, and family and stay motivated through the entire journey.
Do not lose hope as getting demotivated sometimes is a part of the journey which
comes to each IAS aspirant, even to the topper’s like us. Stress will come but
learn to overcome it.
6.
Guidance is very important in UPSC CSE exams, so
always take guidance from your teacher’s as they will give you the right path
to get successful in IAS exams.
