It has to be combined with a jack-of-all-subjects kind of approach. We hope you will indeed take your IAS Preparations very seriously. The first step towards that is obviously the choice of subjects. Do choose them wisely.


    Tips For IAS Preparation

    Strategy to tackle IAS/IPS exams 

    The Civil Services Mains examination is no more the same since 2013. Aspirants who are thinking of taking this exam in 2014 should make their strategy from now to tackle this exam. Needless to say a sound planning would go a long distance handing this exam with the daftness it deserves to be handled.
    Changes in Mains
    The Civil Services Main exam since 2013 has become different in more ways than one as some major changes has been introduced.
    What are the changes being made?
    1. There will be four general studies papers each will carry 250 marks each. Total marks -1000
    2. A candidate now has to choose one optional subject from the list of subjects. There will be two papers for the optional subject carrying 250 marks each. Total -500 marks
    3. There will be one paper on Essay of 300 marks.
    4. There will be compulsory English and language paper whose marks will not be counted but are of qualifying nature.
    What it Means?
    Earlier, there were 600 marks for general studies (GS) and 1200 marks for two optional subjects with 600 marks each. It meant GS carried half the marks of the optional subjects that enjoyed two-thirds weightage in the exam. Therefore, selection of a candidate depended a lot on marks in the optional subjects rather on the General studies. This did not create a level-playing field among candidates as some optional subjects helped candidates secure more marks than the others. This paradigm now has changed.
    Now with four papers on General Studies with sections on Indian heritage, ethics, integrity and aptitude, GS has become more contextual now. The case study method in aptitude paper aims to evaluate mental alertness, analytical and decision-making powers and the administrative ability of a candidate.
    All this reflects the idea that candidate from all streams, should be on par with each other. An attempt is being made to attain homogeneity among the selected candidates and to have a similar world views. This will also give the examiners more freedom to evaluate a candidate.
    Cheer for the aspirants
    The new changes are welcome change for the aspirants. The syllabus is better defined now and will help them prepare better. They do not have to struggle focusing on the optional paper, rather the focus has now to be shifted to the general studies. Since GS covers most of the major topics, it becomes relevant for preparing the essay paper. All this has leveled the ground for the candidates preparing for this examination.
    Choosing Optional Subject
    The new shift in Civil Services Main examination has not resolved the dilemma of choosing the optional subject. The candidates keep on asking what subject they may take as optional in order to score more marks.
    The popular choices among candidates are; Public Administration, Sociology, Geography, History, Political Science and Philosophy. More than 80% of the test-takers opt for these subjects. This is because all these subjects overlap with general studies and most candidates opt for them. Among them Public Administration is the most popular choice.
    Numbers Game
    The Civil Services aspirants should know the number game in this competition. This is essential to pull up their socks for the preparation of 2014 examination.
    There were about 5, 36,506, candidates applied for the prelims exam in 2012, out of which 2, 71,422 candidates actually wrote the test. Out of that about 13,092 candidates qualified for writing the Civil Services Main exam. Of which 2,674 candidates were selected for the personality test. Finally, 998 candidates found place in the merit list.
    All this intends to say that preparing for the Prelims is equally important as preparing for the mains examination. The preparation of both has to be done simultaneously because the two Prelim papers overlap with the mains GS papers. However, minimum 90 days has to be given exclusively for the preparation of the Prelim examination. This because qualifying Prelims is must to join the Civil Services jobs.
    Conclusion
    The preparation of Civil Services examination is one of the most grueling tasks. It is spread to almost 365 days. The candidates after writing the Prelims have wait for a month or so to know the results. Those who qualify get about three months to write the main exams. The result of the main exams comes after three months. The qualified students get about a month to appear for the interview/ personality test. The final merit list is announced after a month of the interview. So it's a long haul. A good planning and sound strategy is essential for qualifying the Civil Services exam.

    UPSC aspirants now get two more attempts


    UPSC aspirants now get two more attempts

    NEW DELHI: The government has announced that two additional attempts with a consequential age relaxation be given to all candidates appearing for the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) examinations.
    The Ministry of Personnel in an order said: 'The central government has approved two additional attempts to all categories of candidates with effect from Civil Services Examination 2014, with consequential age relaxation of maximum age for all categories of candidates, if required.'
    This move comes after Rahul Gandhi met aspirants of civil services examination, who demanded that they be given age relaxation and a chance for three fresh attempts.
    As per the existing rules, a candidate appearing for the UPSC exams is permitted four attempts with the age limit being 30 years.
    This order comes as a boon for candidates who belong to the general category as such aspirants will get two more attempts to till the age of 32 to crack the prestigious exams.
    The candidates from Other Backward Classes are permitted to take seven attempts. There is no restriction on the number of attempts by candidates who belong to the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes categories.

    Tips for Interview


    The Kothari Committee of the UPSC, has listed the qualities that should be rated in the interview as, ''clarity of expression, grasp of narrative and argument, reasoning ability, appreciation of different points of view, awareness and concern for socio-economic problems, ranges and depth of interests and personal attributes relevant to interaction with people.''
    The Interview for the civil services examination also known as the Personality Test is exactly that. It is aimed at assessing the candidate’s personality, whether he is suitable to be a competent administrator or not. The candidate is tested not only for his/her intelligence but also for his/her overall personality development, his/her attentiveness, balance of judgement and qualities of honesty, integrity and leadership. Therefore preparation for the Interview requires proper planning.
    The selectors look out for some attributes in the candidate and decide whether he/she is suited for a career in civil services or not. For this,the candidate should have a positive attitude, should have an alert mind with quick reflexes, should be free from any sort of prejudice, should be good at making quick decisions and should have the ability to act under stress and to handle difficult situations.


    Preparation for the Interview is a continuous process. This involves a wide reading of books, journals, magazines and at least two newspapers. One should try to improve his/her conversational skills with the right pronunciation. The candidate should be prepared to answer questions on his background, hobbies and extra curricular activities. It is a good idea to discuss current affairs and recent issues with friends. One good way of rehearsing possible questions would be to have mock interviews and discussion groups. The candidate should make a self analysis of his strengths and weaknesses and make a conscious effort to play on his strengths.


    Some useful tips for a successful interview at UPSC are:

    1. To have a positive body language
    2. To have a good personal turnout and ensuring the right posture
    3. To answer questions clearly and confidently
    4. Try to remain calm and composed even when faced with provocative questions
    5. Try not getting into long winded explanations and answer to the point.

    Things To Be Avoided at the UPSC Interview

    • Avoid the expression, 'I am sorry.'
    • Avoid conversational cliches, like: 'as you know', 'that's correct', 'of course', 'indeed', 'obviously', etc.
    • Avoid technical jargon. However, if a member continues to probe you in any technical field, you can use technical expressions.
    • Maintain a cheerful disposition. Now and then you can appear serious; but most of the time keep smiling or look cheerful and composed. One caution here: if the board laughs, you should only smile. It is only when you maintain some amount of distance that the board begins to wonder about the depth of your personality.
    • Do not give long introductions. Come straight to the heart of the matter.
    • Show human concern whenever possible in your answers.
    • You should be logically consistent and analyse things rationally while talking. You are supposed to defend what you say, but with due respect to the views of the board. Stop trying to defend an answer if it becomes difficult to do so logically and fairly.
    • Do not make hasty or sweeping generalisations.
    According to UPSC report, it has been observed that from 1979 onwards, 90 percent of the candidates who qualify for interview hover around the minimal percentage of 55 percent that is prescribed for the test. However to be assured of a Class I service, one has to generally obtain about 58 percent marks. It has been noticed that only those, securing 60 percent and above are sure of getting a service of their own choice. The figures clearly reveal that the marks in the interview test play a determining role in final selection of candidates.

    Types of questions asked at the UPSC interview.

    • Relating to your name. Any famous personality who has a similar or same name or surname.
    • Your career choice. Why you want to opt for the civilservices.
    • Your Hobbies. Why you pursue such a hobby or questions related to your hobby. So reasearch well on your hobby.
    • Hot topics of recent days like the Bird Flu and Tamiflu, Office of Profit, Sahara airlines deal and the growing airlines,Terror attacks in India, India US Nuclear deal, Commonwealth games, Saurav Ganguly etc. Keep reading and watching the news. If the recent headlines have something to do with your subject then specially revise those portions. For example if you are a veterinary doctor, Bird flu may go on to other animal diseases that can infect men. If you are an MBBS, then you might be asked about human to human spread of epidemics or any other epidemics and precautions etc. You may even be asked about the influence of MNC or drug manufacturers responsible for the spread of fear etc. If you are from an economy background, the same topic will veer towards the economic implications of the Bird flu.
    • How you are going to use your specific knowledge(like if you are a doctor, lawyer, engineer etc) in the services.
    • Situational questions. Like If you were the collector/SP of Varanasi, what would you do after the Bomb Blast?
    • Choice of services. The order of your choice of services can raise questions too.
    • About your institution and related.If you have studies at IIM you may be asked about the rising salaries, if from IGNOU then even about Indira Gandhi and so on.
    • From your form. You must go through the form you have filled because most questions will arise from there. If you have changed subjects, mentioned anything out of the way, watch out for questions on them. Interviewers take cue from the form you have filled.

    Some actual questions asked of UPSC candidates.

    • Don't you think you can serve your country better by remaining a doctor and treating poor patients? Why do you want to be a civil servant?"
      It would be best to answer this question very practically rather than emotionally saying you want to serve the country, because even a doctor serves the people. A doctor from Kerala was asked this Question and her reply was - "Because I want to treat the primary malady that afflicts our country, that creates so many poor in India. As a doctor I can treat only secondary maladies." She even came up with exact statistics and suggestions on a rubber plantation for poverty alleviation indicating that she had spent considerable time and thoughts on her future plans. She was awarded a score of 85 per cent.
    • "What are the problems faced by wheat cultivators in your state?" an M.Sc. (Agriculture) student from Palanpur was once asked. "The problem is not so much to do with agronomy but with the lack of a seed bank in Palanpur," came the reply and the candidate walked away with an 80 per cent score.
    • "Is there a law in physics, which is relevant to administration?" a law graduate was prompted. "Yes. Newton's third law of motion: for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." He scored a cool 80 per cent. The above questions can give you an idea of how relevant questions are asked from your subjects even as they are not directly from the syllabus.
