The term ‘preliminary’ sounds so innocuous, isn’t it? In the dreaded exam cycle of UPSC, the preliminary exam is the first round of screening. The impression that most aspirants get when they start their preparation is that they can easily cross the first hurdle. In fact a good number of students start focusing on Mains, thinking that they can devote 2-3 months of their preparation time before the prelims and qualify for the next stage. Some of them do but most don’t. Why? The answer is simple. UPSC is interested in rejecting as many aspirants as it can in the first stage. Imagine the success rate – out of four lakh appearing students, only eight to ten thousand qualify the prelims! What seems like the most manageable stage of the UPSC cycle, ruins the chances of 98% of the candidates. We are trying to make a simple point here – you CAN’T take it easy. You have to invest your time and energy to crack this tricky stage.
