UPSC Civil Services 2012 Examination: Strategy Simplifying IAS Exam




One must go through the complete syllabus and previous year questions prior to reading the please take an overview of the UPSC Civil Service Pre Syllabus

To be successful in the Civil Services Exam, applicants requires proper strategy to manage the preparation of the examination. Following strategy can be the recopies for cracking the CS(P) Exam in time-framed manner.

Divide the task:
Applicant needs to break the UPSC CSAT EXAM preparation in smaller areas/topics. There are II papers in CSP Examination, saying General Studies (GS) and General Aptitude.  

After proper analysis, and repetitive plans, one needs to decide in favour of dividing the GS (General Studies) syllabus in Eight Equal Parts:

First four parts of GS, is the Foundation of your preparatory drive

  1. Economics and Social Development
  2. Indian Polity (Special place to Constitution of Union of India)
  3. Geography
  4. History


Other four parts of GS, are also very important for main as well as interview


  1. General Issues: Environment, Bio-Diversity and Climate Change
  2. Current Affairs
  3. General Knowledge
  4. General Science 


Now, let’s see Paper II of UPSC CSAT Exam, basically, it looks that UPSC is judging personality and behavioral aspects of the applicants in the changing scenario. (You will need lot of practice to master this paper II) 

We can divide General Aptitude roughly in Five Equal Parts (note that, division in GS section seems superior!):-

1. English and Comprehension
2. Interpersonal skills including communication skills
3. Logical reasoning and analytical ability
4. Decision making and problem solving
5. Aptitude including DI

Student need to work on their strength to crack the paper after getting minimum knowledge of every segment.


here is the key:

Students does commit mistakes in the examination hall where they don't have any retake opportunity ,It is obvious that even the single mistake has the potential to ruin your Year.

Although CSAT is qualifying in nature but failure led to disaster for the serious applicants so it cant be played lightly.

It is always advisable that candidates must create examination condition at their home and go for model paper solving.

The above practice will make them capable to minimize the mistake in live examination however if student work on their mistake while solving model answer they will able to ratify it in time and it will increase its probability to crack the paper more.

Knowledge does not matter in the examination until it delivered so applicant must work on delivery part because here most of the failed students falls.

So one need to focus on this part because it is the most neglected zone by applicant most of the time the invests in knowledge getting and after examination they complains ..I was knowing this answer but committed mistake in examination......

Lack of delivery technique will cost you more ....
