CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLES

Jo control mein usse control karna chahiye, vo bit gya, jisko change nhi kar sakte uspe rone se kuch nhi hota. If we meet with an accident, we don't crib/cry, instead immediately we start to take control over the controllables, i.e damage minimisation or first aid.

So, if you wish to remain in this preparation further, start with optional asap. Irrespective what marks you are getting

I used to clear "every mains", because, I was good at nerve control. I tried to utilise these days before result, which students usually waste in discussing cutoff and answers.

So, "the best" way to control the things now is to complete your 70% of optional before result(may be around 10 june). 70% means all the "easy" chapters and all the manageable chapters, leaving only tough chapters for later on.

If you do this, you get a direct edge of 20 marks directly using academic prowess or indirectly reducing mental pain.

I understand it is tough, but this is, how it is. You chose this exam, so you have to bear with this.

Paper kaisa bhi tha, 14000 type jo bhi chahiye, utne log toh mil hi jayege. Vo objective fact hai. Change nhi hoga. Also, mains mein ~80-85 din hai. Ye bhi objective fact hai. Change nhi hoga.

"Mausam badal raha hai", toh tumhe bhi kapde badlne honge ab. Garmi me garmi ke kapde, sardi mein sardi ke.

Aur ye 15 din vo "golden hours" hai, jo ki disaster ka pehla 1 hour hota h, disaster management strategy mein. Most powerful, yet most ignored. Baad me recovery almost impossible hai. Rarely person qualifies for interview. Scary, but truth.

Aur ye baat mujhe Isley pta hai, ki mene ye time ko "khud jiya" hai, aur utilise bhi kiya hai.
Brace yourself Cheetahs 🐆
Time to Hunt!!!

Jo log ye puch rhe, GS-1 ke 85 score ko 105, GS-2 ke 90 score ko 120, GS-3 ke 70 se 95, GS-4 ke 88 score ko 120 kaise karna hai, ye baat kewal vahi bta sakta hai, jo "khud" laya ho.

Kya likhne se 85 aate hai, kya likhne se 120 aate hai, ye dono baat pta hongi tabhi score "change" hoga.

Aur ye baat vahi bta sakta, jisse "sach bhi pta hai, or jhooth bhi"
Kis raste par kya khatre hai, kya challenges hai, kya opportunities hai, ye kewal vo bta sakta hai, jo khud uss raste se kabhi guzra ho, aur zinda vapas bhi lota ho!!!

Start identifying differences between Truth & False!!!

Those asking "Changes required for Prelims Strategy for 2027".

Prelims mein padhai related kuch nhi badla h. Ab bhi vahi PYRAMID hi lagega jo pehle btaya tha.

Bas 2 kam explicit ho gye hai, jo pehle implicit the
1. Time management skills
2. Nerve management skills.
I don't think academic level par kuch bhi change karna hai. I can't do sugar coating. This is, what it is.

Vo utt patang question puchega, toh utt patang padhne nhi jauga mein..mujhe mains ka bhi padhna hai, interview ka bhi.

There is a reason why those utt patang questions are asked. Instead of reading that faltu content,
1. Understand the reason and develop associated skills.
2. Develop a morphology framework, which helps to answer questions in case the situation gets out of control.

Kuch bhi nhi badla hai mere hisab se. Aaj bhi vahi sab valid hai!!!

1 kadwi baat aur sunlo.
Agar kisi ne interview pehle nhi diya hua, or vo border marks par hai. Toh,
1. Mains likhne ki toh, fir bhi kuch probability hogi 50-60%, shyd likhne ko mil jaye, kripa rahi toh,
2. Lekin agar ye 12 din waste kardiye na, toh interview dene ko toh pakka nhi milega. Uski probability pakka 0 ho jayegi!!!!

Chance vs No chance ka khel ho jayega. Aur jab tak insaan interview nahi deta, usse exam ka process samjh nhi aata!!
