Since childhood, there has been a proverb that’s been used time and again at different times.
‘Practice makes a man Perfect!’
Sometimes it encourages us to lift our faces from failure. Sometimes it instills the belief that if we set our mind to something it is absolutely achievable.
And if you have entered the world of UPSC – there’s no way you can escape this step – PRACTICE PRACTICE AND MORE PRACTICE. Raise your hand if you were reminded of the famous song ‘Escape’ by Enrique Iglesias!
You can run…. You can hide… but you cannot escape PRACTICE!”
At least we made you smile
In the dreaded exam cycle of UPSC, the preliminary exam is the first round of screening. This first hurdle appears a small one but is the toughest to crack. Take it from us – You SHOULD not take it lightly!
Many aspirants think along the following lines and never cross this stage – “I’ll focus on Mains and devote just 2-3 months of studies before the prelims. I will easily qualify for Mains.”
So what happens?
Some of them do but most don’t. Why? The answer is simple. UPSC is interested in eliminating 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 for the Prelims! What seems like the most manageable stage of the UPSC cycle, ruins the chances of 98% of the candidates.
If Preparation is an Art, Knowing what and How to Prepare is the Science You Cannot Ignore.
A very important question arises here – Do you know that you have what it takes to crack Prelims? How do you know that you are ready? How do you prepare yourself for the unpredictability that UPSC is known for?
Many begin their preparation by reading standard books, magazines and newspapers. Yes, these are important but not sufficient. You have to test yourself on the yardsticks of UPSC.
