IASbaba's Flagship Course: Integrated Learning Programme (ILP) - 2024 Read Details
Dear Students,
There is a framework taught in management course, called the 80:20 rule. It says that 20% of your efforts lead to 80% of the results. This framework is used primarily to get one’s priorities right. When you on a mission, the final success will depend on a lot of factors. However, if you analyse the entire journey, you will realise that there are certain areas that require special attention to ensure your success. This framework fits perfectly in the domain of civil services preparation also.
There are many areas that determine your final success in the civil services examination. However, when it comes to the most vital factor, it is undoubtedly your answer writing skills. Your problem-solving abilities, reasoning skills, personality and communication all matter but you can’t achieve final success unless you have reasonably good answer writing skills. Now, think of the amount of time that you devote to answer writing each day or each week. For most you, the time allocated to practicing answer writing won’t be more than 5-6 hours a week. On an average, you are spending less than 10% of your efforts and time on mastering this skill. This is unacceptable. Remember the 80:20 framework. In our case, if you don’t at least 20% of your study hours and efforts to answer writing, you are seriously diluting 80% of your chance of having your name in the final list. Can you afford it? We don’t think so.
So to help you hone your answer writing skills, give you the right strategy and guidance, here we come up with this new initiative-
