So the #UPSC Civil Services 2023 notification is out...
Things to be prioritised now...
1. At whatever stage of mains you are,now stop there and start prelims preparation.(Seniors can manage it in two months too)
Remember, without passing prelims, there is no entry for mains.
2. Around 120 days you have got for the prelims.
Manage them in such a way as to get atleast two revisions.
E.g.
I gave around 50 days for first basic reading of the syllabus.
Then 30 days for first revision,
Then 25 days for second revision.
Last 15 days for rapid 3rd revision
You can adjust your days for any possible combinations based on preparation.
3.while completing your first reading, it is advisable that you also go through sectional tests.
Simply,
If I am reading modern India,then I will simultaneously solve Test on Modern India, like 50 qstn
Every day.
It will help you revise the part you are studying at that time.
Also ,you can solve PYQs during that time.
4. Current affairs is a crucial part. Start giving some time everyday. If you can't give time for news papers, then use some good CA magazines..
5. CSAT is 'The' killer. Give some time for it.
If you feel weak about it,then join any crash course.
Solve Previous year papers. Also , I advise ,if possible, solve Maharashtra PCS CSAT paper of last 5-6 years, specially the comprehensive part. MH papers are good.
Lastly,
This time vacancies are 1105...
Make the best of your time and efforts....
