SUCCESS TILISM FOR UPSC EXAM

1. Always remember that there is simple difference between one who qualifies and one who does not qualify. This simple difference is created by the aspirants themselves. Both the qualified and non qualified students are really labourious and even those candidates who have not qualified, certain time are more labourious than the qualified candidates. Then question arises why after being so labourious one is unable to qualify this exam. The answer lies in the mode of preparation. The non qualified candidates labour really hard because he is not the directed one. He goes here and there and collects information in a wayward manner for that reason he invest/waste a lot of energy, time and finances in this way, for which he get no returns. He labours hard really because he has not been given a proper direction and is not enlightened as far the UPSC examination and its nature is concern. Because of this his preparation is not targeted one. On the other hand, the directed aspirants who has identified the nature and purpose of the UPSC examination goes to hit the target straight forward without going wayward and wasting his energies, time and finances. Remember your age (which decides your enthusiasm) and the attempts in UPSC (which decides the pressure on your mind) and your financial health (which decides your career) are very crucial considerations for this exam if you are loosing them at your prime age then there can be no fill-gap mechanism left for you. So the crux is that you make yourself directed one with a proper guidance mechanism for you at every stage of the examination.

2. Proper guidance can be acquired by you if you are able to know the UPSC examination through the study mechanism by your own.

3. You can acquire the proper guidance for you by interacting with those persons who are already in process of preparing for this exam or through the candidates who have cleared prelim or main at least once.

4. Circle of your friends and those with whom you are interacting with are also one of the deciding factors in your success so try to be with those who are knowledgeable enough to contribute to your knowledge which can help you in enhancing your knowledge base, for the UPSC examination.

5. Entertain yourself with all means, see movies, roam the parks, enjoy the entertaining talks with your friends but remember that from everywhere you have to come out with something which contributes to the overall growth of your personality.

6. As far the study is concern study only few basic books and study materials, which has been selected section and topic wise and has been mentioned in the Kohinoor guidelines which has been distributed among you through Project Kohinoor.

7. Classify previous year’s questions topic wise and try to understand their nature, background, source and their importance so that the UPSC’s perspective of selecting the facts could be clear to you. This step is very necessary for your success in the preliminary examination.

8. Once you are able to identify the nature and the background of the questions asked in the last year’s exams, you can easily identify which information is important for the exam and can collect them thereof in your note book.

9. You can make your own collection of facts in registers so that it would be easy for you to refer them easily whenever you required.

10. There is a lot of confusion regarding how much time an aspirant has to give for the study. Here the simple answer from Kohinoor fraternity would be that the study time should be decided by the two factors; one is that it has to depend on the physical capacity of the candidates, second is that it has to be decided by the mental capability of the candidate also. So the time management can vary from person to person but the prime concern should always have to be to know how to cover the vast syllabus at our disposal. One person can study three hours to mug up 100 informations, for others it may take six hours. So in this field your mental and physical capacities have prime importance in deciding the time than to copy other persons.

11. Always be attached to the ground realities and be down to earth person. Be polite to others. And always guide the Youngers who are coming to you to get certain information regarding you and UPSC.

12. Always try to attach or incorporate positive things to your personality which will help you in the UPSC interview and will also help you to be positively charged for the UPSC examination.

13. Read the interviews of the toppers of the Civil Services Examination. The reading and the information given over there by the topper will energize you and will give you the idea that the students who had qualified the Civil Services Examination are just like you but had labour hard during their attempt and on that basis they have finally been selected.

14. Try to identify certain things which are common within you and the toppers. And through the prism of proper comparision try to assess and evaluate yourself in the field of the UPSC.

15. always remember the mantra of success i.e. “harder you work luckier you become”, so the key to the success in the UPSC examination is nothing but the labour you are going to put in this field but you also need to keep in mind that labour only is not the last word in the field of success, proper guidance and direction are as much needed as the all important labour from your side. So make a proper balance of all thing to command a winning edge for UPSC.
