Download PDF for better visibility – Smash Ethics 2024 Timetable
The Mains GS Paper 4, also known as Ethics, stands out as the most dynamic among all the papers. It defies a singular approach, requiring a nuanced understanding. Drawing from our extensive experience with over 2000 students, we can confidently state that ethics holds the power to reshape one’s UPSC examination journey. Achieving a strong score in the ethics paper becomes an indispensable prerequisite for securing a coveted position in the final selection and attaining one’s desired service.
It’s important to note that the ethics paper assesses “ethical competence” rather than mere knowledge of ethics. It’s worth remembering that General Studies Paper 4 presents a unique opportunity to score 130+ marks effortlessly. The key lies in mastering the static content, relating it to current affairs, and effectively conveying it in writing.
Therefore, excelling in the ethics paper necessitates proficiency in both the art of answer writing and a solid grasp of the static material.
