A thread 🧵:
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.”

“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.
