Hard Work, Focussed Approach And Faith In God Are Instrumental In Achieving Your Goal - Santosh Kumar Misra,
IAS Topper2000 (2nd Rank)
1. Focus on Mains : Always target the Mains Exam and make passing the Prelims a critical but incidental objective. If you always focus on Prelims result and don't think of Mains till the Prelims result are out, you will end up as a loser because there is hardly any time left for a thorough preparation. So always aim at the Mains.
2. Revision is a must : Always remember anything you could not revise prior to the examination is as good as not having prepared at all So always make sure that you able to revise whatever you've prepared just prior to the examination.
3. Practice, Practice and Practice (Especially for maths) : Go through the unsolved papers of the previous years and solve them.Try to monitor you speed. Speed is of utmost importance in this examination
4. Have a Small Group : Preparing alone is extremely boring and at times frustrating. So form a small group with your friends, and have regular discussions, e.g. in History, Polity, etc. it helps to keep your tempo up.
5. Dare-to-Bare Attitude for your Personality Test : Given the extremely short time (25-30 minutes) in which your personality is assessed, it is your responsibility to bring out your very best in front of the board.
Hard Work, Good Planning, positive Approach and Faith In God Ensure Success -Vinod K.Jacob, IAS Topper 200 (5th Rank) A civil servant is one of the most balanced and normal personalities in a country. He/she need not be an expert, a genius or a super-specialist, he/she has to be an average man/woman of pleasing nature and personality with a flair for leadership and administration. This dictum should guide every IAS aspirant throughout the 3 stages- Prelims, Mains and Interview.. Explain all the differing and opposing schools of thought and with logical reasoning explain your viewpoint.
Target : 1150 to 1250/2000.
General Studies, I believe, makes or mars your chances. Interview : A civil servant is not born. But he is not made one overnight. Hence, one should aim at projection an optimistic outlook. Humility is a quality that has no peers. Our arguments should not resemble rhetoric but should be persuasive. Taking part in debates and extempores is a must. I even took classes in Law in my M.L. one should spend atleast 2 hours a day in reading the newspapers. One should be prepared for analysing any issue of current importance. But, we should never try to give ad.hoc or quick.fix solutions. Remember, stalling for time is a very good way of overcoming a problem. In Civil Services Examination, Emotional Quotient (E. Q.) is as important as I.Q. hence, you should stay focussed, calm, patient and in a proper frame of mind. Remember, he who rules the mind is greater than he who rules the city.
Adding Fun
I feel that it is the performance in General Studies paper that tilts the scales. My observation has been that he candidates are extremely thorough with their Optionals and level of knowledge is improving s the years pass by. Hence General Studies alone makes or mars one's' chances.
