3-4 attempt walo ka samaj aata hai soch rahe hoge ek bar aur fail ho jayenge kya hi hoga ab tak fail hi hue hai ek bar aur sahi

Lekin jo beginner hai UPSC me unka sab chaupat kar diya hai vo apne last attempt tak yahi ni samaj payenge what to read how to read what to do what not to do

Kul milakar UPSC ne hardwork se jyada luck ko preference de di hai

Backup me option rakho jo beginner hai aur jo nahi hai unhe kya bolu mai mujhe khud apna kuch nahi pata

✍🏻Directives Words


🌟Discuss: You have to debate on paper by going through the details of the issues concerned by examining each one of them. You have to give reasons for both for and against arguments. And once all the discussion is done, a suitable apt conclusion may be given at the end of the answer.

🌟Comment: It is opinion based question. You have to give your opinion and you also have to justify it. Give evidences, arguments, data to justify you answer.

🌟Highlight: You are expected to ‘draw special attention to’ specific aspects asked in the question.

🌟Elucidate: Elucidate means “to make clear”. In several of the questions, where the examiners use this directive, they present us with a cause-effect linkage asking us to “elucidate”. In such cases, we have to basically bring out the linkage more clearly citing evidence and examples.

🌟Elaborate: When you are asked to elaborate, you need to give detailed information in well organized manner concerning what has already been said.

🌟Explain: Explaining is to make (an idea or situation) clear by describing it in more detail or revealing relevant facts and to give reason so as to justify the stand.

🌟Enumerate: Enumeration means writing down a list of all the points.

🌟Define: When we are asked to define, we need to state or describe exactly the nature, scope, or meaning of the term asked in the question. Definition should mark out the boundary or limits of the concept.

🌟Illustrate: Illustrate refers to explaining or making clear by giving suitable examples.

🌟Examine: It demands you to investigate the topic deeply and bring to light to various aspects of the given topic. It refers to inspecting something closely and bringing out the facts.

🌟Critically Examine: When you are asked to examine, you have to dig deeper into the topic, get into details, and find out the causes or implications if any . When critically is suffixed, you have to highlight the pros and cons and give a balanced conclusion.

🌟Assess: It demands examination and evaluation of the given topic.

🌟Analyze: You need to examine something methodically and in detail, typically in order to explain and interpret it. You are required to take each and every part of the statement and examine them separately and also in relation with other parts.

🌟Clarify: You need to make (a statement or situation) less confused and more comprehensible.

🌟Reflect: Think deeply or carefully about something.

We write down what we know about keywords. But don't forget the main question that has been asked

Name wise

होगा वही जो आप चाहते,

लेकिन तब नहीं जब आप चाहते,

तब जब ये चाहते ||

Data sheets are not very difficult to make. But the real question is about how to use the data. I tried to use the same data in multiple ways.

Eg. ₹2LakhCr is given to Food Subsidies out of a budget of ₹40LakhCr in 22-23. This is a fact.

1. Negative criticism: 5% of of budget is given to food subsidies. How poor fiscal management!

2. Defending in a positive way: For 1.7bn population, the food subsidy is merely ₹2LakhCr. More needs to be done as GHI rank is 107.

3. Writing way forward:
A.Government needs to rationalise subsidies. 5% is too much.
B. Government needs to prioritise subsidies for various issues. Set apart a fixed budget for reducing malnutrition and hunger separately.

Interpret data in as many ways as you can.

For those people who consider 2024 their final attempt

https://theprint.in/ground-reports/upsc-toppers-are-a-catch-for-all-and-coaching-centres-want-their-photos-consent-be-damned/1642104/

Stating the obvious: No one cares if you don't make it. Those who fail to make it by few marks, if not in reserved list are just one more aspirant.

Either you are a sensation or nothing. Cruel ecosystem not cruel exam.

Why you will fail 2024 Prelims?

Please introspect:

Remember the aftermath of Prelims 2023 ? You were heartbroken, angry, confused but also determined to give it back to UPSC in 2024.

You promised the world to yourself, sat down with a pen and paper and made a "super strict" timetable, downloaded scores of productivity apps

And you were successful, albeit for a few days.

You woke up early, studied for 6/8/10 hours, and completed your goals.

But what about now? Be honest

You are back to your usual self, waking up late, doing classes half heartedly, barely making those extra efforts you promised yourself, more or less making the same mistakes which cost you 2023 Prelims

Actually you are not alone, this is the case with 99% of us aspirants

Over promise, under deliver is our USP.

And it's not your fault.

An average aspirant studies seriously for a grand total of 2 1/2 months, here is how

15 days after the Prelims exam in which you failed

15 days after getting excited seeing Mains paper of current exam cycle

15 days after New Year when one makes resolution to study seriously

15 days after notification comes out

and the final 15 days before Prelims

That makes it about 75 days of serious study out of a possible 350 days

Although normal for majority aspirants but when you do this you are disrespecting the statistically toughest examination in the country, and when you do that it punishes you back

UPSC exam or life is not a Rocky movie where you are ready to take on a world champion boxer at the end of a 3 minute motivational montage

To be better in life or at UPSC CSE you need to do the same shit day after day, week after week, month after month, slightly increasing your effort with each sitting

And it's not glamorous, let me tell you beforehand, you will want to break character and go back to the previous life of ease and comfort but it's either this or pain of regret on 26th May, 2024

The 1st failure in Prelims is crushing, the 2nd is heartbreaking but after 3rd, 4th failure you become familiar with failure, complacency sets in, criticism of parents and close ones doesn't matter to you, and you start enjoying the "vicious cycle"

And that is the worst thing that can happen to you, is to enjoy being a failure and romanticising it

Problem is this will all blow in your face once your attempts are exhausted, you have crossed a certain age and your peers have settled down with kids and good pay packet

To counter that start now, start small, but do whatever you are doing daily, increasing the intensity daily, little by little

Remember if you won't give due respect to India's toughest exam, India's toughest exam won't give you the respect back
