UPSC Civil Services Exam is one of the most prestigious exams in the country. It has three parts, the Prelims exam, the Main exam and the Personality test, which you need to clear in order to become an IAS or IPS officer. All other Group A services of the Government of India recruit people through the UPSC Civil services exam itself and because of this, there is a lot of competition in this exam. Hence, your UPSC preparation should be strategic, informed and well planned.

Your UPSC preparation should not be based on blind adherence to any program. Rather you should give a thought about how your are preparing. The best way to go forward is to study the blogs and tips given by previous year toppers about how to go about UPSC CSE for all three stages of UPSC Prelims, UPSC Mains and the Personality test also known as the UPSC Interview, and then make your UPSC preparation strategy accordingly.

Doing static subjects like polity, economy, environment, geography and history for your UPSC preparation is a solid bet to increase your chances of clearing this exam. But this must all be supplemented by current affairs for best effect.

Thank you sir. I have been following you for my UPSC guidance. Your video content with visualisation and pdf are much appreciated and liked it.

[vikasyadav-wikz]

I have been into the preparation since last 8 months and i can surely tell you that ncerts just familiarise you with the topics and please don’t solely depend upon them and most of the toppers are liars they all were just bragging about their intelligence. For freshers i would suggest that first you guys should get into the preparation and eventually you will find out right and wrong in it. And lastly i would say be practical in this preparation
