Now that #UPSCPrelims2023 is done & dusted, it’s time to head back into the preparation mode with renewed vigour & determination.

Irrespective of the results, if you’re giving this or the next #UPSC attempt, it’s time to prepare for Mains. How to ace the mains?

A thread 🧵:
1. Read the #UPSC notification.

Didn’t expect that, did you? They clearly mention the demand of the exam. “The main exam is intended to assess the overall intellectual traits and depth of understanding of candidates rather than merely the range of their information and memory.”
2. Approach to Study?

“The questions are likely to test the candidate’s basic understanding of all relevant issues, and ability to analyse.”
Focus on understanding an issue in all its facets, the context behind it, & know how to interlink & analyse it from multiple dimensions.

#UPSCPrelimResult2023

It's a thread for those who couldn't clear #Prelims even after ≥2nd GOOD attempt.

-----------

"लगातार कोशिश करते रहो, सफलता जरूर मिलेगी"

Such lines sound good in Motivational videos, but may be disastrous for the life of many #UPSC aspirants.

(1/n) Image
I know a lot of "erstwhile" aspirants who invested their entire youth (20s & early 30s) in #UPSC preparation, but were left empty-handed after exhausting their age/attempts. Thus, destroying their potentials.

So, realising when to quit this exam is extremely critical.

(2/n)
3 thoughts which prevent aspirants from taking such decision:

💭1. Gambler's Fallacy: "I've invested time & energy for this exam, & have accumulated so much Knowledge. It will all get wasted if I quit. I cannot fail everytime. Better to try once more, probably i will succeed." Image

#7जुन

दिन खास है क्योंकि आज के ही दिन एक अदने से अश्वेत को एक ट्रेन से धकिया कर प्लेटफार्म पर पटक दिया गया। साफ शब्दों में अश्वेतों को उनकी औकात याद दिलाई गयी।

फिर वही छोटू #दीवार बन गया। शोषितों और शोषकों के बीच, दुनिया की सबसे मजबूत दीवार। आज भी #संघर्ष देख लो, उसके तरीके ही
पूरे दुनिया में कापी पेस्ट हो रहे। आगे अलग अलग देशों के राष्ट्रनायकों से लेकर अल्बर्ट आइन्सटीन तक '#हीरो' मानने लगे, "#मसीहा" बोलने लगे। अरे उसने कब कहा कि उसे ये सब बोलो?

तुम नहीं जानते, मत जानो।
जो तुम नहीं मानते, तो मत मानो।
#बोस ने "#राष्ट्रपिता" बोल दिया।पाप तो नहीं किया कोई पर ये बात दूसरे पक्ष के बर्दाश्त के एकदम बाहर।

तुम्हें पिछले 5-10 सालों में #व्हाटसएप्प और #फेसबुक के माध्यम से अपना राजनीतिक हित साधने के उद्देश्य से ये बताया गया कि वो #बंटवारे का जिम्मेदार है और सारी परेशानियों की जड़ है.

#பார்ப்பனியம் #பார்ப்பன_தந்திரங்கள்

பெட்டிக்கடை வைப்பது அவமானமா என்று நம்மை நோக்கித்தான் கேட்பார்கள். ஆனால் அவர்கள் செய்ய மாட்டார்கள்.

#UPSC தேர்வுகூட எழுதாமல் அரசு செயலர் ஆவார்கள். மக்கள் மன்றம் செல்லாமல் மந்திரி ஆவார்கள்.

சூத்திர அண்ணாமலையை வேலையை விடச் சொல்லி
முன்னுதாரணம் காட்டுவார்கள். ஆனால் ஒரு பார்ப்பானும் தன் வேலையை விட மாட்டான்.

உங்களைப் பக்கோடாக் கடை போடச் சொல்லுவான். ஆனால் வெளிநாட்டு தூதரகங்கள் முழுக்க அவனே உட்கார்ந்திருப்பான்.

படித்தால் வேலை கிடைக்குமா சுயதொழில் தொடங்குங்கள் என்பார்கள். ஒரு பார்ப்பனர் எவரும் படிப்பதைக்
கைவிடவே மாட்டார்கள்.

தேசபக்தியைப் பற்றிப் பாடம் நடத்துவார்கள். கால்வான் பள்ளத்தாக்கில் நாடகம் போடுவார்கள்.

சமஸ்கிருதம் படிக்கச் சொல்லுவார்கள். ஆனால் அதை வைத்துப் பிழைக்கும் கருவறையை ஒருபோதும் விட்டுத்தர மாட்டார்கள்.

தப்பித்தவறி நீ படித்து முன்னேறினாலும் உன்னைத் தகுதி நீக்கம்
