Common mistakes while preparing for UPSC


1.     Depending only on offline material - In the era of internet, if you aren’t aware of the latest development on web related to ias preparation , you might feel left out in the race.

2.     Ignoring current affairs - Ira Singhal, AIR 1, 2014, has said in her interview that ignoring current affairs was the biggest mistake she committed during her preparation. Look at the previous question papers. Most of the questions in prelims and mains are centered around current affairs.




3.     Failing to revise - If you fail to revise, there is no use in preparation at all. You may read 24*7*365 days, but what you recollect on the eve of the exam determines your performance. Hence, reading without revision = NOT READING AT ALL.
            How to revise and how to make notes?


4.     Preparing without a plan - UPSC is marathon-like race. Without a proper study plan, monthly targets, periodic assessment, clearing it is impossible.



5.     Sourcing too many materials - Every day a new book is released in the market under the name "MUST READ FOR EVERY IAS ASPIRANT" / "SECRET TO TOP 2016" etc..Be wise. Be selective in buying materials.

6.     Preparing without looking into previous question papers - This is the biggest mistake in my view. Unless you have seen the pattern of questions asked in the previous years, you will not be able to guide your own preparation. It s just like starting on a journey without knowing about the destination! Result could only be an accident!

7.     No writing practice - Failing to write whiling preparing for mains, is a mistake which every candidate realizes after the results come out. For mains "writing practice" is the most important.

8.     Selecting on optional- Selecting a wrong optional is another commonly committed mistake.

Sincerely hoping none of you to commit the above,

All the best.

  4. Very interesting and ironic content. This blog will be helpful for many students to know the facts and get prepared. I am also preparing IAS at Dhyeya IAS coaching center at Bhubaneswar branch. Also, one of the best IAS Coaching Institute in Bhubaneswar. Initially, I was unaware of many common mistakes regarding IAS exams, and then one of my senior suggested me to have demo classes at Dhyeya IAS institute. And from then it has been easy for me to know more and study well by the help of notes and materials provided by the institute.

  7. “Plain and simple, Benjamin Lee is the nicest person and the best loan officer at his service. We had a very bumpy road during our entire Business renovation process, due to circumstances out of funds. Mr Ben stayed on top of all parties to make sure everything stayed on track in order to meet our tight deadline to close our loan. We appreciate everything he did for us and we highly recommend him and his loan company to anyone looking to obtain financing. Thanks again  Mr Ben.

  16. UPSC is the dream of many aspirants to clear it and achieve their respected services like IAS, IPS, and IFS. UPSC demands sacrifice and dedication, so you must be fully aware of world study, Indian culture, and history. World Map is the best source to cover geographical locations. World Political Map helps you to remember the name of countries, and so on

  21. <Investment is one of the best ways to achieve financial freedom. For a beginner there are so many challenges you face. It’s hard to know how to get started. Trading the Crypto market has really been a life changer for me. I almost gave up on crypto currency at some point not until I got a proficient trader Bernie Doran, he gave me all the information required to succeed in trading. I made more profit than I could ever imagine. I’m not here to converse much but to share my testimony, I invested $2000.00 and got back $21,500.00 within 5 days of investment. His strategies and signals are the best and I have gained more knowledge.
    If you are new to cryptocurrency. You can reach to him on Telegram: @BERNIE_FX
    Or through Email : Bernie.doranfx01@gmail.com
