Important Updates, TLP-UPSC Mains Answer Writing
Dear Friends,
If you are a fan of quality web content, you might have watched ‘Kota Factory’, a light-hearted series of 5 episodes, depicting the life and struggles of an IIT aspirant who has come to Kota to prepare for the entrance examination. Somehow, the depiction of Vaibhav, the main protagonist of the series, resonates quite well with the journey of an UPSC aspirant.
Perhaps, one day a series will be made on the life of a UPSC aspirant as well. But that’s not the point here. What we want to point out is a beautiful monologue given by Jeetu Bhiya, the physics teacher in Kota Factory. While he says many things about the harsh and testing journey of an aspirant, what stands out is his statement on the power of habit. He says that if one can sustain an activity for 21 continuous days, it becomes a habit eventually. Even the most repelling and fearsome activities of the day start to fall in place once a habit is developed. Habit is important, perhaps more important than anything.
In UPSC also, you need to develop certain habits. Today, we are talking about the habit of answer writing. It has become a cliche in IASbaba to say that the ultimate instrument to impress the examiner in the QCA or the Question Cum Answer booklet. Your months of preparation, numerous sleepless nights and strained relationships won’t matter to the evaluator. You have to reflect yourself in the QCA, that’s it. What image you create of yourself is the question. What impression do you create will depend upon your mastery on the craft of answer writing. Unfortunately, just like swimming, driving or horse riding, you can attain mastery in answer writing only through practice.
That is why, since day 1, we have been insisting on the significance of answer writing. 2021 is going to be our 7th year. In the past 6 years, no other initiative has been given as much attention as TLP. From preparing high-quality questions to crafting synopsis for your quick reference, we have invested a lot of time and energy on this initiative, for a simple reason – it is really important. It can create the difference between your selection and failure.
TLP has evolved as a brand in itself. When aspirants talk about quality answer writing initiative, TLP is the first name that comes in mind. We take pride in the fact that years after years UPSC toppers have recommended TLP as an excellent platform to practice answer writing and hone your presentation skills.
The testimony and recommendation of toppers and a hit ratio of more than 82% in Mains (in the last 4 Years) speak volumes about the quality of questions that IASbaba frames
