1. Wrong time management: The upsc has gifted quite a large
syllabus to the aspirants. It would take eternity to finish fully all the
subjects.You gotta fix this by allotting time based on needs.
2 Wrong advices: The only thing that is free is advice. And
the advice that is very freely available is wrong advice. Take your time and
analyse what you can do rather than believing the advices given.
3 Wrong books: “You went to buy books and you brought the
whole book store”. This is what most mothers say to their son who studies for
IAS. In few months after you start preparation she would shoot another punch
dialogue “There is not place for anything in this house except for your books!”.
To avoid these dialogues choose your book carefully. Its more important to
thoroughly read a book and use others for small references. There is no need
for buying a whole book store. Also an innovation called photocopying would
help reduce the effort.
4. Wrong coaching: Why do people run coaching institutes?.
For the staff in the coaching institutes to have daily bread and butter. They
aren’t bound to tell you all truth about their institutes especially if the
truth hurts. Its for you to discover which coaching institute to select .
Surely i am writing 2 or 3 articles on that topic, which would help you
understand some of the cool marketing techniques used by coaching institutions
so that they can have chicken along with bread and butter.
5.Wrong optional selection: the common dialogue when a
topper is aked “Why you selected Subject X while you graduated in Subject Y ?”
is “I was deeply interested in it and the knowledge is needed for nation
building!!!. The simple answer is, He or she wanted to score maximum marks. So
when you go after love ( i mean love for a subject), see that it scores. As far
as love in IAS exam is concerned, if you love subject that scores then its
better. If you love physics but cant understand the intricacies of the subject,
then better find another love. And once you start loving(scorability+interest+availability)
a subject don’t shift to another. There are lot of aspirants who after 3
attempts have changed 4 optionals. This isn’t a welcome move.
