UPSC IAS Strategy
UPSC IAS Strategy
Our strategy is centered on furnishing candidates with the essential direction and expertise required to facilitate efficient preparation for the examination.
Phase 1
-
Paper 1 (general studies) - 200 Marks
-
Paper 2 (CSAT) - 200 Marks
In the prelims, Paper 1 plays a crucial role in determining the cutoff, while Paper 2 is considered qualifying. Paper 1 focuses on General Studies, comprising a total of 100 questions. Analysis of past years’ papers indicates that a significant portion of the questions is drawn from The Hindu newspaper, current affairs at the national and international levels, science and technology, environmental ecology, art and culture, government schemes, physical geography, economics, history, and polity.
Therefore, prioritizing these subjects and maintaining touch with other relevant topics can greatly enhance one’s chances of clearing the prelims with diligent preparation. In addition to studying, it is essential to practice solving a maximum number of questions on each topic to build confidence for the exam. We also offer test series tailored to the trends observed in UPSC exams.
Phase 2 - MAINS
Mains is a written examination that necessitates extensive practice in writing. Right from the inception of UPSC preparation, emphasis should be placed on enhancing writing speed and content quality. To excel in the mains, thorough examination of solved previous papers and practice in writing new questions from NCERT and standard reference books in relevant subjects is imperative.
Mains evaluation transcends conventional subjects like history, geography, polity, and economy. The pattern has evolved, demanding a nuanced understanding of concepts to deliver precise, high-quality answers within specified word limits.
Phase 3 - INTERVIEW
A successful interview hinges on confidence. With a blend of confidence and knowledge, one can confidently navigate the interview process and secure commendable marks.
