The #UPSCPrelims2022 Results were declared yesterday.Out of the nearly 11.52 lakh people who had applied for it, 13,090 have qualified for Mains. Lakhs of aspirants are disheartened as they failed to qualify.

How should we embrace failures & move forward in life?

A thread đŸ§”:
Despite working hard,if things didn’t work out, it’s natural to be upset. But failure isn’t the end. You just missed accomplishing a task. An exam isn’t life & it doesn’t determine your identity.

“Failure is delay,not defeat. It’s a temporary detour,not a dead-end.”Denis Waitley
If you’re planning to take another attempt: ANALYSE your mistakes, improve upon your weaknesses & speak to a mentor for the right guidance.

“All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride.”Sophocles

We’re here with thread 3 on how to #AceTheMains in the #UPSC exam. #Upscprelims2022 was a screening test only & the marks obtained in it aren’t counted for determining the final order of merit.The real test is the Mains stage with 1750 marks. How to write a great answer?A thread
As per the 71st annual report released by #UPSC, 574980 aspirants appeared for CS(P) including IFoS(P),11474 candidates appeared in CS Mains 2019,2302 made it to the interview & finally 922 were recommended. To be one among the 2000+ candidates, your answers must stand out. How?
1. USE TIMELINES:
Whenever you’re showing a chronology of events (Eg.: independence movements or the evolution of art in GS1 or how a doctrine evolved in GS2 or how technology progressed,etc.) draw a simple timeline- showing the progression of years & associated events. Simple?

We’re here with thread 2 on how to #AceTheMains in the #UPSC exam. #Upscprelims2022 was a means to filter out aspirants,the marks aren’t counted once one qualifies.The real game which determines your rank is the Mains stage with 1750 marks. How to write a great answer? A thread:
1. Read the question. Sounds basic? You’ll be surprised at how many misread the question,fail to read all parts of it or just don’t understand what is asked. Read it twice & keep circling back to it while writing your answer. Be relevant & answer what is asked. Not many do that.
2. Your best guide, again? The #UPSC syllabus copy! Write down a simple 3 line definition of every topic & add them to your notes. This will greatly help in giving an introduction quickly in any answer, rather than wasting time thinking during the exam. Time is scarce & precious.

Now that #UPSCPrelims2022 is done & dusted,it’s time to head back into the preparation mode with renewed vigour after a well-deserved break.Irrespective of the cut-offs, if you’re giving this or the next #UPSC attempt,it’s time to prepare for Mains. How to ace the mains?Thread 1:
1. Read the #UPSC notification. Didn’t expect that, did you? They clearly mention the demand of the exam. “The main exam is intended to assess the overall intellectual traits and depth of understanding of candidates rather than merely the range of their information and memory.”
2. Approach to Study? “The questions are likely to test the candidate’s basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyse.” Focus on understanding an issue in all its facets, the context behind it, & know how to interlink & analyse it from multiple dimensions.

Have you got into the habit of delaying your happiness?As a #UPSC aspirant or even otherwise in life,we tend to believe that only when we accomplish a task,we’re entitled to feel happy.“If I clear #UPSCPrelims2022 or get X job,only then I can be happy.”Why do we delay it?A thread
Is happiness dependent on external factors?When we make our happiness contingent on getting that job,rank,salary or relationship-we are ensuring that we will never be in a state of happiness permanently.Why? Coz we will always want more-the next promotion,a bigger car,more money.
Don’t allow yourself to be dictated by the ‘ifs’, ‘whens’ or ‘buts’ in life or wait for an outcome in the future to be happy.Aspirants pin all their hopes on the #upscresult every year,delaying their happiness constantly.While we wait for an outcome,life continues to pass us by.

#UPSCPrelims2022 was conducted yesterday. Now begins the seemingly long & frustrating wait for the results. Many may be filled with regrets:that they should’ve studied harder,marked ‘X’ option, not second guessed,focused on CSAT,etc. #Regrets over the past plague us all.A thread:
Why do we regret certain events or the mistakes of the past? “I wish things would’ve gone better, wish I had got that job,wish that relationship had gone right, wish I had spent more time with ‘X’, wish I’d been better back then”- we are filled with an infinite list of regrets.
But most of these things are not under our control. We may term several things in our past as mistakes,but that’s only in hindsight. Sometimes we did what we did because that seemed to be the right option at that point. As we grow, our perception changes & we become wiser,better.

Today lakhs of aspirants will be writing the #UPSCPrelims2022. For many, it will be their first attempt,but for many others it will be their Nth attempt. No matter which attempt-most will be engulfed by similar feelings of fear & nervousness. Why? Due to the uncertainty.A thread:
Why does uncertainty unsettle us?We are the happiest when we get an outcome we expect with everything in life.We want the assurance that we will achieve any task that we undertake,else we may feel that there’s no incentive to invest in it. But uncertainty in outcomes is certain.
Trying & failing at something doesn’t mean that one has wasted time(#UPSC aspirants who have been in this cycle for a long time may have heard it several times that they’ve wasted their ‘prime time’). Instead,we must view an experience through the prism of learning,not outcomes.
