One tip wrt Prelims

Those who are preparing ancient India, focus more on Jainism and Buddhism. In the last few years I see one or two questions asked from these topics. Your NCERT’s knowledge won't be helpful here. So dig deeper. Spend few hours in analyzing about these religions. Buddhism is a favourite topic for UPSC. Don't spend a whole day behind the topics. Just 2 hrs of research is enough. Solve the PYQP of UPSC prelims on these topics. All the very best

Since this is a one way communication channel I'll post regular polls here. It'll be helpful for me to understand the type of aspirants and their demands. So please answer these polls whenever they are posted.

Hi all
I m Dharmala shri.
This s my 5th attempt.
My suggestions to those who r appearing this year :

DON'TS :

1.Comparing your last year's marks, whether it is high r low, whether prelims, mains or interview.
Situation of past is different from this year.

2. Giving less priority to any subjects. It will cost very dear.

3. Avoid reading any new materials now onwards. New facts are completely fine. But not material.


4.writing too many marks. Few Will be confident. Not suits for many. Instead try to read those mocks with solutions. But be specific. Don't worry about the Marks. Focus on your mistakes.

5. Don't read in depth now. It will eat our time. Give revision whether it is conventional or current affairs.

DO'S:
1.
Keep your material very precise.
Basic books are more than enough.
Keep Atleast 4-5hrs daily for this.

2. Take only one CURRENT AFFAIRS material. If u had any own written notes, or any online source familiar to you better.
Try to cover one month per day from now onwards.
So two revisions are completely possible. - 3-4 hrs daily.

3. Revise the test series questions which you did this year. This is most important. Take one r two question paper and read with solutions. Spend 2-3hrs daily.

4. Whenever you want to relax, solve one previous year question paper. Vishal or wizard will be better. But revise it next day with your friends or alone.

5. Read one chapter from introduction to fine arts n give glimpse in India year book.

6. Spend 1-2hrs for csat. Solving previous year qstns are enough.

7.spend 30mins for map before sleep.

Take care of your health. Avoid dehydration. Eat healthy.
Sleep 7hrs.
All the best
