UPSC Civil Services Prelims Exam, A 6-Month Strategy (Dec-June).

Source – www.pagalguy.com

UPSC conducts the examination every year in the month of June. The official notification of the examination date is released by the commission in the month of February. This competitive exam is very tough and in a common scenario, an aspirant spends years preparing for it.  But is it really required?

Well, UPSC is the only examination that requires a person to have both smart study and hard work. With the right strategies in hand and complete dedication, one can clear the examination in just 6 month preparation.

We have mapped down a few points for you to use as a strategy for UPSC preparation.

  • Prepare a BASE– UPSC requires an aspirant to study the NCERT books which were once a part of your very curriculum. Go through the syllabus thoroughly and segregate the topics on priority basis. Make a schedule to cover these topics before the month of January ends. Do not miss the NCERT books as few questions asked by UPSC are directly picked from here. Along with this you will surely have to cover the current affairs you have missed up until December. There are many online sources and publications which release monthly and yearly current affairs compilation which you can use for preparation.
  • Combine with your pre knowledge– UPSC syllabus covers everything and anything under the sun. This means that your graduation syllabus is also included in it. Combine both your existing knowledge and the portion that you have studied in the last months. Revise these on a day to day basis (Subject wise). Along with this, enrol in the preliminary mock quizzes to test your knowledge and preparation. If you are able to successfully do this, you are probably 50% closer to your target.
  • No time for extra- In the 6 month preparation course you cannot spend time on learning new things every day. Do not feel overwhelmed by seeing other aspirant’s preparation styles. Focus on the content you have covered and keep revising it. UPSC also asks questions from the previous papers, so circle back in time and practice all the past papers.
  • Analyse – The month of April is all about analysing your mistakes and building on it. One can easily do this by giving mock tests. The scores are not your permanent scores but they do give a rough idea of how your actual results would be. Do not take these scores lightly, analyse your weaknesses and strengths from here. Make a strategy on how can you use your strengths and overcome the weakness. Remember, UPSC has a negative marking pattern, so not answering the question would be more favourable than marking the wrong ones.
  • CSAT– CSAT is the Part B of the UPSC’s preliminary examination. Many aspirants take CSAT lightly, however, they often fail this as well. Even though the examination is just qualifying in nature, it does require preparation. Go through the past papers and give at least one hour for it. (Study for it during the break between two General studies subject). By the time you reach May end, all you have to focus is on the positives. Do not sit in last minute comparison, focus on your wits.

Final Getaway!

Many aspirants believe that UPSC is the toughest examination and cannot be cleared in 6 months preparation. Nonetheless, this is not the reality, if one is determined and is good at smart study. \

They can easily clear the UPSC Civil Services preliminary exam within 6 months. But this would be just the beginning there is a lot more in the store that the UPSC aspirant has to cover for the Mains preparation, so buckle up aspirants, let’s get set study!

UPSC IAS Interview 2019 Preparation Tips: Tricky Questions to Check Mental Alertness, Presence of Mind, Reasoning Ability & their Answers.

Source – jagranjosh.com

UPSC Civil Services Exam is considered amongst one of the toughest exams of the world. Every year lakhs of aspirants appear for the exam but only a few hundreds can make it to the final selection list. The final selection of a candidate is decided after he qualifies all the three stages of the process i;e Prelims, Mains and Personal Interview. 

The 2019 Prelims and Mains exam have already been conducted and now the last stage, Personal Interview is bound to happen in the month of February. The interview conducted by UPSC is unlike any other interviews you previously appeared for. Many aspirants have a misconception that the personal interview is a knowledge test, however this not true. 

Personal Interview is a Personality Test 

UPSC tests your knowledge skills in the first two phases of the Prelims & Mains exam, and the interview is conducted to check your logical reasoning, presence of mind and decision-making capabilities in pressure situations. The panelists test your personality on various parameters and ask questions not just on the information you filled in DAF but also ask out of the box questions to test your logical reasoning and presence of mind. 

Nervous is Normal

UPSC Civil Service Exam carries a weightage of 275 marks and averagely an interview lasts for 30 to 35 minutes. From the moment you enter the interview room until the end, the board members test your skills on various levels. For better understanding, we have segregated these questions into 4 broad categories- Personal, Academic, Work Profile & Psychological Competence. We will talk about Psychological Competence here:

In the interview room, your mental alertness & behavior impacts the impression you create on the panelists. It is normal to be a little nervous on the day of the interview but panicking is out of the question. You need to keep your temperament cool and composed before appearing for the interview. The interviewer may ask some questions which could provoke you but you have to remain calm and answer each question with accurate diplomacy and politeness. 

When the interviewer asked, “What is that Mister?”

A candidate nervously entered the interview room and wiped his face by a hankey. As he approached the board, the board chairman pointed a finger towards his pocket and questioned: “What is that Mr.?” The candidate looked at his pocket and saw the hankey hanging from his pocket. He got embarrassed but confidently replied to the board “That sir… is a demonstrative pronoun.” The board was impressed by the answer. So no matter how nervous you never lose your calm and understand the question carefully before answering. 

The Key to Provoking questions is Patience 

Once an unmarried female candidate was asked: “what if one morning you wake up and find you’re pregnant?” The candidate very calmly answered: Sir, I will be very excited and would take an off to celebrate the good news with my husband.” The panelists were impressed by her answer. The question was asked irrespective of the time period and the candidate understood it well. Any person would have got offended or nervous if such a question was asked from them but she used her logic and presence of mind to understand the question and its context and answered it accordingly. 

When the interview panelist asked, “What will you do if I run away with your sister?”

Similarly, another candidate was asked, “What will you do if I run away with your sister?” The candidate smartly replied, “Sir, I will never find a better match than you for my sister.” In such situations where the panelists ask you a question that can be provocative and may sound offensive, it is necessary to understand the context and gist of the question and answer the same accordingly with patience and presence of mind. Such questions are asked to test your ability to work in unfavorable conditions and to test your temperament maintaining skills. 

The real test of your Mental Alertness 

A candidate was asked “Twenty years back, there was a plane which crashed from nearly 20,000 feet over Germany. It is important to remember that Germany at that period was partitioned as East Germany and West Germany. In that incident where would you bury the survivors? In East Germany? West Germany? Or no man’s island?”

The candidate answered “Sir, survivors aren’t buried” The answer reveals the attentiveness and alertness of the candidate while hearing the question and the use of the presence of mind to present the answer. Hence you must include this practice in your daily routine and be alert about your surroundings. 

Situational Questions to understand your thought process

Sometimes the interviewer asks a question based on a certain situation to test your decision making capability and presence of mind. Like a candidate was asked “You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night,

it’s raining heavily when suddenly you pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for a bus:

An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.

An old friend who once saved your life.

The perfect partner you have been dreaming about.

Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing very well that there could only be one passenger in your car?

In answer, the candidate replied “I would give the car keys to my Old friend and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the partner of my dreams” 

Here, the candidate showcased his spontaneity in decision making and the presence of mind to analyze the situation.

When a candidate was asked, “Bay of Bengal is in which state?”

Once a candidate was asked a question “In which state is the Bay of Bengal?” The candidate answered “Liquid state.” Interviewers often ask questions that make you think out of the box. For example, the answer to this question was not related to the 29 states of India, but from the concept of science.

Logic with Common Sense

Along with logic, it is also important to use your common sense. Your answer should be valid according to the situation. Like when a candidate was asked “If a red house is made from red bricks, pink house … from pink bricks, blue house … from blue bricks, and black house … from black bricks, then what is greenhouse made from? “

So in response to this, he said that “Greenhouses are made of glass”. Similarly, at that time you need to use logic as well as common sense to answer the question.

So as we stated in the beginning, the personal interview of UPSC Civil Services is conducted to test the qualities of a future IAS, rather than testing the factual knowledge of a candidate. For this, it is important that you stay alert and listen and understand every question carefully. Some questions will confuse and puzzle you, but if you remain calm and answer the questions with common sense, then your selection is confirmed.

UPSC IAS 2020: How to prepare for current affairs in UPSC Civil Services exam.

Source – indiatoday.in

PSC IAS 2020: Since the changes in the UPSC exam pattern, current affairs has become a very prominent component in Civil services examination as many questions at every stage of the three-tier examination are asked from this section. Most of the aspirants whether they are beginners or veterans of the exam are still skeptical about Civil Services exam preparation.

Current Affairs is a dynamic and undefined part of the UPSC Syllabus that puts aspirants in a dilemma thinking how and from where to start current affairs preparations for IAS.

To clear all the doubts and give aspirants’ a fair idea on how to deal with the current affairs, GS SCORE presents a strategy on how to cover the current affairs part of the UPSC Syllabus for UPSC 2020 aspirants.

Identify sources: There is a deluge of reading material both online and offline on current affairs which makes it difficult for the aspirants to understand what to read.

Aspirants are pilling CSR, Pratiyogita Darpan, EPW, Chronicle, Yojana and every random magazine you can name on their desks and never opening them due to paucity of time. This exercise is definitely counter-productive. You should choose quality over quantity.

Current Affair sources:

  • Daily Newspapers
  • GS SCORE Weekly Current Affairs Compilation
  • All India Radio
  • GS SCORE gist of RSTV’s Big Picture, India’s World, Yojana, Kurukshetra, PIB, and PRS India
  • Internet

Don’t waste much time on Current Affairs: The problem with most aspirants is not that they neglect newspapers, but they overplay its importance. Some read newspapers for almost 3-4 hours a day, leaving them with no time to read other subjects. Current affairs are important; newspapers are important, but not so much that you invest time disproportionately. Ideally one should finish reading day’s current affairs in 1-2 hours.

Strategy for current affairs preparation consists of:

Prelims study:

  • Practice 50 MCQs on current affairs daily (Practice GS SCORE Weekly Current Affairs MCQs)
  • When the exam is nearer practice 100 MCQs daily (Join GS SCORE PT Test Series)
  • Revise at the end of the month

Mains study:

  • Newspaper reading (30-45 min) – every day
  • Look for issues and make notes on them (one or two a day)
  • Weekly or monthly current affairs compilation is a useful aid in this regard that compiles all the dimensions and developments on a topic in a lucid manner.

Weekly and monthly revision

Cover issues and not news: Civil servants aspirants should look beyond news and headlines. They must have a nose for issues. UPSC generally asks questions on issues that are in news. So you must understand the issues in news thoroughly and make notes on them. Usually, coaching institutions cover issues comprehensively and current affairs compilation is the best among them.

Usability: UPSC aspirants must develop the ability about the usability of the information and data they are obtaining from current affairs.

Note making: Making notes online or offline comes handy during exams as they help in quick revisions. Therefore, it is advised that aspirants must make short notes for the revisions.

Revisions: Mark Twain said that there is nothing as good as re-writing. With the same token clause, there is nothing as good as revision in the civil service preparation. The aforementioned methods will ensure that you capture 90-95 per cent of current affairs in a manner relevant to this exam. But current affairs are a continuous and evolving field that keeps piling up by the day. The best way to retain the content is through constant revision.

Answer-writing practice: There is no substitute for answer-writing. It is a craft as well as art. You must learn it before it is too late. Academic, newspaper and article writing is different from answer writing for UPSC examination.

Your answer should represent an IAS officer in the making and to learn that you must not skip test series which provides at affordable costs with easy accessibility across the country.

UPSC 2018: 50% successful IAS-IPS candidates had Hindi as mother tongue.

Source – business-standard.com

As many as 485 candidates who had chosen Hindi as mother tongue were selected through the civil services examination in 2018, the government said on Thursday.

A total of 812 candidates were recommended for central civil services on the basis of the 2018 test. Of these, 485 chose Hindi and the rest had opted for other regional languages as their mother tongue, it said.

The civil services examination is conducted annually by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) to select officers of Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS) and Indian Police Service (IPS) among others.

The examination is conducted in three stages — preliminary, main and interview.

During the 2017 exam, 1,056 candidates were recommended for different services. Of them, 633 had chosen Hindi as their mother tongue, according to data given by Minister of State for Personnel Jitendra Singh in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha.

Out of the 1,209 candidates selected in the civil services exam in 2016, 664 had Hindi as their mother tongue. In the 2015 examination, 643 had claimed Hindi as their mother tongue as against 743 such candidates who were selected in the 2014 test.

A total of 1,164 and 1,363 candidates were recommended in civil services examination in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

“The government strives to have a workforce which reflects gender balance and women candidates are encouraged to apply and participate in civil services. Female candidates are exempted from payment of fee for civil services examination,” the minister said.

Further, relaxation of age up to 35 years (up to 40 years for members of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes) is given to widows, divorced women and women judicially separated from their husbands who are not re-married for employment to Group ‘C’ and erstwhile Group ‘D’ posts that already exist, Singh said.

Similar relaxation also exists for Group A’ and Group B’ posts except where recruitment is made through open competitive examination, he said.

“It is, however, stated that these instructions are applicable only to central government civilian employees holding civil posts,” the minister said.

A senior Personnel Ministry official said a significant number of people with Hindi as the mother tongue have been selected through the civil services examination which is an encouraging trend.

“It is an encouraging trend to see that significant number of people with Hindi as their mother tongue are getting selected for civil services through the civil services examination,” he said.
