Prelims Strategy:

• Don’t become an academician or do PhD on a topic.  

Preferred books:

The standard material.  

What to focus on for Mains Prep?

• Answer writing is most important. Just reading books would not help. Start answer writing immediately.
• Focus more answer writing, rather than reading/studying.
• Ultimately, you have to go and write the exam.
• What you finally write in the exam hall is important.   

Tips for students:

• GS pattern has become very dynamic.
• Topics related to contemporary issues are important.
• Focus mainly on Currents Affairs for mains, especially for the dynamic part.
• GS – 2 and GS – 3 is mainly dynamic.

Point to be noted: 

• The Aim should be to complete a topic in minimum time with maximum output, so that one can solve most of the questions from the topic.
• Get a general idea on most relevant topics.
• Think in different dimensions while writing the answers.
• ‘Keywords’ are important. Expand the keywords in exam.
• Try to put maximum number of points in answers.
• Always put a positive conclusion. Have an optimistic outlook and end the answers on a positive note.
