UPSC Prelims 2021 

The prelims exam consists of two parts: static and dynamic. Dynamic includes the current affairs based questions. Let us first deal with how to approach this part. 

DYNAMIC PART:  

Aspirants should keep in mind that the current affairs from at least Prelims 2020 till March 2021 have to be covered for the prelims exam. 

There will be two categories of aspirants: 

• One who have been thoroughly following Current Affairs both on daily and monthly basis and have been revising too. To further strengthen their preparation, they should go through the compilations of IASGYAN- IAS GAZETTE, Prelims Xpress and attempt mocks.
• The second category is of aspirants who have not been able to read Current Affairs properly. They need not worry. Now is the time to clear their back logs. Make a plan and follow it to the letter. Go through the monthly compilations.
• Always remember that Current Affairs is a very dynamic area. It is imperative for the aspirants to follow a well- crafted and structured strategy. For prelims 2021, the aspirants should attempt as many mocks as possible now and for mains should practice answer writing to hone the skills required. Also one should remember that to prepare current affairs and to develop linkages, conceptual clarity is a must and thus, aspirant should never compromise on referring to standard text books like NCERT.

STATIC PART:

• There should be not a single topic of the syllabus which now should be left.
• Basics should be very clear. Revise the NCERT and the standard books multiple times.
• The key here is to do multiple revisions and keep giving as many mocks as possible.
• Previous year questions become very important at this juncture. The best strategy is to revise a particular subject and then do PYQs asked from it.
• There must be some grey areas of preparation. Resolve them at the earliest and strengthen your strong areas.

Remember the basic rules of preparation remain the same:

• Revise and re-revise
• Write more and more mocks and solve them like real exam
• Integrate reading with question solving
• SWOT of your performance and try to improve on the mistakes/ weaknesses and minimize them
• Will make honest effort

Following the mantra of ‘LEARN-REVISE-TEST-SUCCEED’, we have already introduced Prelims Xpress Program, Prelims Test Series, Prelims Full Length Tests, Prakhar (All India Open Mocks), separate test series for Polity and Economy.

Always remember UPSC exam is a rigorous exercise that requires continuous perseverance, hard work, practice and smart preparation toasted the success. Learning is incomplete without failure and failure is never a waste provided you make the best out of it by learning to overcome the flaws. And when you do that you win, you win big.

HAPPY LEARNING!!!
