Hello aspirants 🙏

I am sure you’ve heard some toppers say – “I never expected this result!” Well, even they seem to be quite surprised at the way things turned out for them.

Put yourself in the shoes of the greatest emperor that’s ever lived. What would he have thought of this question?

Handling Pressure is one of the important aspects of UPSC Civil Services Preparation. Apart from the regular reading of NCERT books, newspapers, and other materials, aspirants like you should also focus on other essential aspects to overcome the stress factor.

1. Proper Planning

In UPSC Preparation you should have a proper study plan, many aspirants prepare without any study plan, and in the end, they were not able to sail through the exam. Develop a long-term (one year), monthly, and daily study plan. If you have a proper study plan then you can assess your exam preparation progress and you can easily identify your flaws in preparation.If you know, where you are lagging then you can work on that feature. But if you don’t know where you are lagging that adds excess stress in exam preparation. So have a proper study plan.

2. Regular Study Breaks

One cannot read continuously for 8 to 10 hours at a stretch and don’t overburden yourself. Psychological experts say that one cannot read effectively beyond 40 minutes. So take regular study breaks during your study period. Don’t think such breaks are not part of productive study time, in fact, it is part and parcel of your study hours to boost your exam preparation.

3. Stop comparing with others

Many aspirants face that fear factor and feel the pressure because they compare themselves with their friends and peers. Say for example, If your friend has qualified in UPSC exams and don’t compare yourself with him, instead compare your previous performance with the present and analyze what went wrong in your exam preparation.

One of the major reasons for exam stress is comparing it with others. Stop comparing with others from now onwards!

4. Be Positive

At any cost, don’t bring negativity to your exam preparation. Always stay positive. If you think and work with a positive attitude, you will definitely get positive results.

5. Focus on your preparation

There are many resources in this modern era to distract your IAS Preparation. You should not fall into those traps. Try to focus on your reading and exam preparation.

This is like a horse race, you should focus only on the target until you reach there. Never get distracted.

6. Believe in your ability

The other major reason for stress in IAS exam preparation is aspirants like you have self-doubts.

* Am I able to crack the IAS exam?

* Do I have the potential to clear UPSC?

* I am average in studies (school and College), will I able to get succeed in the IAS exam? And so on.

Stop questioning your ability.

Believe in yourself! Develop self-confidence and say to yourself “I will crack the IAS exam this year”

7. Develop a Hobby

Spend some quality time on extracurricular activities to overcome the exam preparation stress. If you don’t have any hobby or interest, try to develop a hobby and spend some quality time on a regular basis during exam preparation. Hobbies give you relaxation and a peaceful mind.

8. Meditation / Yoga

Spend 10 to 15 minutes in the early morning for meditation, it gives positive vibration and also improves your concentration while preparing for exams.

9. Good Sleep

Try to give some quality time for sleeping. Experts advise that a normal human being needs 7 to 8 hours of sleep to rejuvenate his energy.

10. Practice is the key to success

For practice, you can either solve UPSC’s previous year’s question papers or join a mock test to evaluate your exam preparation.

  • 🔖 Also, develop a habit of regular answer writing practice to improve your mains answer writing skills in the UPSC Mains exam.
  • 🔖 Constantly keep asking yourself – what will make me a winner? Am I doing everything that will? What is lacking?
  • 🔖 UPSC Preparation is the toughest journey of your life. You may face many ups and downs, but what matters is your name getting listed in the final merit list.
  • 🔖 Letting go when the time is right for it, and, and re-focussing on attainable goals is what makes a winner in the long run.

📍 * Be the Arjun. Find your Lord Krishna. Go through your own Bhagavad Gita * 📍
