Never distract yourselves. Keep daily, weekly, and monthly target portions to be achieved. And, reaffirm the topics are completed. But it is important not to rush for mere satisfaction, and not to be stuck over the topics!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Syllabus<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Remember the quote of Abraham Lincoln &#8211; Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe!!<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/entri.app\/blog\/upsc-prelims-syllabus-exam-pattern\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UPSC syllabus<\/a> is the main focus of the examination. The vast syllabus to be covered for the prelims, mains make the exam more challenging. The time period available will not be proportional to that be studied. The static GK and current affairs updations along with practicing mocks and attempting previous question papers are really backbreaking. So, for sure without proper planning candidates will not be able to crack the exam\u2019<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Get an Idea of Cut Off Marks<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Candidates should focus on previous cut scores, so that, they can fix an expected cut-off while attempting mock or previous papers.

GS Paper-II was of qualifying nature with 33% marks as per Rule-15 of Civil Services Examination, 2025. And, that of the Mains Cut off marks subject to 10% marks in each of the seven competitive papers i.e. Essay, GS-I, GS-II, GS-III, GS-IV, Optional-I, and Optional-II.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Be Aware of the Number of <\/strong><strong>possible\u00a0<\/strong><strong>Attempts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many candidates lose their chances, without being aware of the restricted number of attempts for the UPSC CSE. Those candidates who exceed the maximum, will not be further able to attend the exam. That is the chance once missed will not be added again. So, proper preparation is very much essential. Check the possible number of attempts for each category:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>General category \u2013 6 attempts<\/li>\n<li>OBC category &#8211; 9 attempts<\/li>\n<li>SC\/ST candidates \u2013 Not restricted<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Source for preparations should be Limited<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Don\u2019t go for all the books available in the market. Be selective in the case of study materials. The list of must references are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Current Affairs<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A newspaper such as The Hindu or Indian Express \u2013 Read thoroughly to improve language skills, note important news.

Leong &#8211; Physical Geography, Laxmikant &#8211; Indian Polity, Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh, The Indian Economy by Sanjiv Verma, Economy Survey Summary, Science Reporter Magazine.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Mock Tests, Previous Papers, and Revisions<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Candidates should practice mock tests regularly to follow the points or topics learned.

While attempting any competitive exam, it is a mantra that, be confident with portions you have covered. Try to devote the last 2 months before the exam only for revisions.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Don\u2019t give UP<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Perseverance is required as you are going through an effortful process. Sometimes the result may be delayed. But be calm, and do your part. Remember the cure for bad times is patience!<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Check the Don\u2019ts while preparing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid a large number of books! Narrow your reference to the required and apt selection of study materials<\/li>\n<li>Listening to success stories \u2013 To an extend this helps to boost confidence.
