APPSC, Important Updates, Prelims Exclusive Programme (PEP)
Dear Students,
The majority of Group 2 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. Add to this the complexities brought in by the unpredictability of the Prelims exam. 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.
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 APPSC, there will always be few thousand candidates clearing Prelims. It boils down to not trying to be the best amongst the lot but to mastering 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) for UPSC aspirants. In its 4 years of being, PEP has helped hundreds of candidates clear the UPSC Prelims exam. We had also conducted a similar course for TSPSC Group-1 and the response is overwhelming. Now, due to many requests from students we are bringing this successful programme to make sure thousands of aspirants of Andhra Pradesh clear the Group 2 prelims. The battery of high calibre faculty members provides the best guidance and tools to crack the exam.
The APPSC Prelims Exclusive Programme (PEP) starts from 1st Janury.
