What is the UPSC Civil Services Examination?

The UPSC Civil Services Examination is an exam conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) in India. It selects candidates for various civil services positions, including the Indian Administrative Service (IAS), Indian Foreign Service (IFS), and Indian Police Service (IPS), among others. The examination consists of three stages: the Preliminary examination, the Mains examination, and a Personality Test (Interview). This rigorous selection process aims to identify the most qualified individuals for public service roles, ensuring that they possess not only knowledge but also critical thinking and decision-making abilities.

Each year, the UPSC releases a notification for the examination, attracting thousands of candidates who start preparation months and sometimes even years in advance. The competition is fierce, with a success rate of approximately 0.1% to 0.3%. Candidates must be well-versed in a variety of subjects, from current affairs and history to politics and ethics, making comprehensive preparation essential for success in this challenging exam.

What were the preparation strategies employed by Ishan Sinha?

Ishan Sinha's approach to preparation for the UPSC CSE was systematic and thorough. He emphasized the importance of a well-structured study plan that included regular revisions and practice tests. This involved dedicating specific hours each day to reading newspapers, current affairs, and NCERT textbooks, which are fundamental for building a strong foundation in various subjects. Moreover, he utilized online resources and coaching classes that provided guidance and mentorship, helping him clarify concepts and strategize effectively for the examination.

In addition to academic preparation, Ishan also focused on stress management and maintaining a balanced lifestyle. He highlighted the significance of physical well-being and mental health during the preparation phase. Activities such as yoga, meditation, and regular exercise played a critical role in managing anxiety and keeping him motivated throughout his journey. This holistic approach enabled him to approach the exam with a clear mind and increased confidence.

What challenges did Ishan face during his UPSC preparation?

The path to becoming an IPS officer is fraught with challenges, and Ishan Sinha was no exception. Like many aspirants, he faced moments of self-doubt and overwhelming pressure, particularly during the examination periods. The extensive syllabus and the need for deep understanding in various subjects often made the journey daunting. Additionally, balancing time between studies and personal commitments posed a considerable challenge for him. These hurdles are common among UPSC aspirants, as the stakes are high and the competition is intense.

To overcome these challenges, Ishan developed resilience and learned to manage his time better. He sought support from family and friends who encouraged him during tough times. Additionally, he engaged in peer discussions and study groups, which not only provided motivation but also helped clarify doubts and enhance understanding of complex topics. This social support network is vital for many candidates navigating the challenging landscape of UPSC preparation.

This engagement encourages a collective learning environment, where tips and insights can be exchanged freely. His journey demonstrates the power of social media in education and how it can be beneficial for motivational support and sharing valuable information regarding competitive examinations.

What advice does Ishan Sinha give to future UPSC aspirants?

Ishan emphasizes the importance of perseverance and self-belief for aspirants preparing for the UPSC examination. One of his key pieces of advice is to develop a strong study plan that encompasses a balanced approach towards all subjects while allowing room for regular revisions. Consistency is vital; therefore, candidates should aim to study daily, adhering to their schedule as much as possible. He also encourages aspirants to tackle previous year papers to gain insights into the examination pattern and identify areas that require more focus.

Apart from academics, Ishan advises future aspirants to take care of their mental and physical health. This includes engaging in activities that relieve stress, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies that bring joy and relaxation. He believes that maintaining a healthy balance between study and personal time can enhance productivity and help aspiring officers sustain their motivation through the rigorous preparation journey.

Jai hind everyone!

My phone will not be available with me for the next one week, as I have a few attachments coming up. So all the best in advance to all of you for the prelims.

Remember to stay calm during the exam, no matter what you feel before. Once the paper is in hand, anxiety should not drive your choices.

Remember to go with your gut instinct, and don't second guess your choices.

Most of all, remember that prelims is more of a mind game. If you win that battle, you will win the war.

You have studied, you have prepared well. Trust in your preparation, trust in the almighty, and go and give the exam. Hopefully you will come out on the other side!

All the best!

Have confidence in yourself, in your preparation and your ability, and you will be writing the mains. This might solve hollow, but it does work. It worked for me.

All the best! This is the last mile; just push through it!

Last one month strategy for UPSC CSE Prelims 2023:

Jai hind everyone!

I have received lots of queries regarding the last one month preparation. Although it's less than a month remaining for the exam now, the strategy will more or less remain the same.

Revision:
More than tests, it is this what matters the most. I used to follow a cycle of 3 days to complete revision of all subjects, which included 2 subjects in a day.

1. Pair a larger subject with a smaller one. Like I used to pair polity with geography, environment with S&T etc. Make these pairs at your convenience. I had history optional, so for me history was a smaller subject, for others it might be a difficult one.
Remember, this is only for the last one month, when you should have completed and revised the syllabus at least twice. If not, then do that first.

2. I made smaller notes of important and minute facts from different subjects so I could revise them frequently without referring to the books.

3. Current affairs revision is a tricky business. I would suggest to revise from the prelims compilations when they come if you have not made notes. If you have, then revise from them only.
I did not dedicate any extra time for current affairs at all. I just read the newspapers. But please do not follow my method, it wasn't the best.

4. Dedicate some time to revise your subject wise mocks. No need to go through all of the questions, just the questions you had no idea about, or the ones where you learn a new concept etc.

Do not, at any cost, go for a new source at this point of time. Whatever source you have, that is the best source for you. Revise from that only.

Tests:

Hopefully you must have started giving full length tests now. If not, then do start.

1. Do not bother about the marks in the tests. I never got more than 90-95 in the mocks, and yet I scored above 100 each time in the prelims.

2. Full length tests should be from different coachings, not the same one. I used to solve 2 from 4 different coaching centres. These 2 used to be mostly the first 2 full length mocks they conducted, because they were more on the easier side.
Do not give the free mocks available in the market. You will get low marks, and that will demotivate you no end.

3. Analysis of the tests are more important. For each test, analyse how many questions you were sure and still got wrong, how many you made silly mistakes, in how many the first guess was correct and you changed it later on etc. This last one is the most important, because I noticed I would get nearly 9-10 questions right if I just went with my first instinct.

4. Stop giving mocks 7 days before the prelims. After that, just revise. Do not even think of attempting a mock in that crucial phase.

PYQs

Solve and revise PYQs on repeat. Spend more time on this rather than on mocks. In the last 7 days, this should be your mock tests.

If you think questions are not repeated, then please look through the question papers again. At least 3-4 questions were repeated verbatim in the last few years.

Mapping:

Keep practicing mapping. Look at the Atlas for 10-15 mins everyday. I used to start my day with this, so in a way it was my warmup before starting to study.
I have shared my mapping notes on the channel. You can refer to those as well. Check the pinned link.

CSAT:

If you still haven't practised it, please do. Solve the PYQs and look at some basic concepts like profit and loss, time and distance, clock, average etc. I have said before also to revise permutations and combinations and probability, so please do that also. You can refer to YouTube videos for this. There are lots of them available, some even solve the PYQs of UPSC.

Lastly, prelims is a mental game. I have given and qualified 3 prelims, and yet I was never sure about it. The one thing that always worked for me was to not second guess myself in the hall. Once I marked a question in the question paper, I wouldn't change the answer in the OMR unless I had made some blunder.

Jai hind everyone!

This is a small message for those who could not find their name on the final list of CSE 2023.

I know how it feels. I've been on the other side, twice. You feel empty, blank, aimless. You don't know where to start from, what mistakes happened. You stare at the pdf for a few minutes, rechecking it.

Then you see your marks, and still it doesn't make sense. Subjects in which you had performed well turn out to be the devil. You relook at the papers, and then start questioning yourself.

This is how the examination is. It tests your belief in yourself, in your own capabilities, in your own hard work. It makes you question the decisions you took on the path to the exam. You stop trusting yourself, you forget to tune out the criticism, and you feel as if they were right all along.

Remember the courage it took to start preparing for this exam in the first place. Remember the belief you had the first time, that feeling of 'If I study, I'll be able to pass it.' Remember why you started to prepare for civil services in the first place. This 'why' is what carried me through two failed attempts.

Do what you need to do. Cry, if you need to. Call and talk to your friends and family. There are always people who root for you, regardless of how many times you fall. Talk to them, and remember that if even one person believes in your capabilities, that's because they must have seen something in you. Remember that when you begin to question yourself.

Remember that the rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that must precede the victory.

I used to recite these few lines in my worst days:

जब तुम अपने मस्तक पर,
बर्फ़ का पहला तूफ़ान झेलोगे
और कापोगे नही,
तब तुम पाओगे कि,
कोई फ़र्क नहीं सब कुछ जीत लेने में,
और अंत तक हिम्मत न हारने में।
