Civil services exam is one of the toughest exams and
requires rigorous preparation. Apart from acquiring adequate knowledge on conventional topics including history, geography, Indian economy, government policies, and programs, a special significance should also be given on improving your general knowledge base.
Often students leave no stone unturned while preparing
for the civil services exam but miss to attain strong command in general studies which constitutes the major portion of IAS question paper.
As per the recent calculations, 600 marks in the GS
paper, 200 in the essay, and 300 in interview are based on your general knowledge base. Another paper in the administration is more like a GS paper 3, which means a total of 1100 to 1400 marks depend directly on your general knowledge ability.
If you are appearing for the civil services exam this
year, it is suggested that you must work hard on general studies which comprise of two parts. One that comprises of conventional topics while other is more about gaining a thorough knowledge of current affairs and the things happening around.
But before you go into the book and start your
preparation process, here are a few essential points you must remember while preparing for the civil services exam.
1. While studying any topic, make notes as your read or
revise the topic. This practice will save your time during revision as you will not have to scroll pages of the book to get a particular topic. 2. The basic approach while preparing for the exam should be to study, learn, revise and improvise. You must study the topic thoroughly. And try to seek as much information as you wish, revise at least twice, thrice as much as you can before the exam. 3. Don't just rely on guide, standard preparatory material or NCERT textbooks. Come up with you own ideas, and thoughts to understand the concepts. 4. You can refer the previous years question papers to check if you have missed any topic. 5. Prepare thoroughly for subjective exams. Note down important facts and points for prelims as you make descriptive notes to study at an eleventh hour.
