Dear Students,
The majority of civil service aspirants share the same opinion – the Preliminary exam is the most difficult stage in the entire process. This is simple math after all. The number of candidates appearing in Prelims is the highest of all the stages. The success rate in the first stage is ridiculously low. It is difficult to find any other examination on the planet with such low success rate. Add to this the complexities brought in by the unpredictability of the Prelims exam. It is difficult to deduce a ‘trend’ from previous year papers. The surprise element is so huge in the Prelims stage that most of the candidates are taken aback by the nature of questions posed by UPSC. Many times, the paper is skewed towards certain sections of the syllabus while ignoring other important portions completely. But we can hardly complain. The very nature of the Prelims stage is to reject as many candidates as possible. UPSC can take maximum liberty in setting a question paper that most people find unpredictable and difficult.
Does it mean that the candidates have no other choice but to succumb to the pressure? Well, not at all. You must keep in mind that irrespective of the ways the paper is framed by UPSC, there will always be few thousand candidates clearing Prelims. It boils down to not trying to be the best amongst the lot but to master the art of crossing the barrier. Yes, you heard it right. The preparation for the Prelims stage is an art. With the right training and rigorous practice, you can increase your chances of clearing Prelims manifold.
At IASbaba, we have been doing precisely this through our popular Prelims Exclusive Program (PEP). In its 3 years of being, PEP has helped hundreds of candidates clear the Prelims exam. The battery of high calibre mentors and faculty members provide the best guidance and tools to crack the exam.
The Prelims Exclusive Programme (PEP) – 2022 starts from 17th January.
