NCERT notes PDF – The UPSC paper is becoming complex each year and there is a growing myth that the syllabus incorporates ‘everything under the sun’. We have seen students slogging year after year and making there preparation more complex and harder. There is a deluge of material available online that aspirants continue to download and keep it as repository, with a belief that they will go through it someday. Alas ! that day does not arrive. We have also noticed that aspirants have tendency to ignore basic books like NCERT for UPSC and jump directly to mainstream books. (GC Leong, Laxmikanth etc.).
The KISS principle — Keep It Simple Stupid
“Don’t make the process harder than it is.“ — Jack Welch
The solution lies in keeping your preparation as simple as possible. There is certain key ingredients that will ensure success in the UPSC/PCS exam. The key basic ingredients are as follows:
- Studying NCERT for UPSC books thoroughly.
- Studying (not reading) one national news paper daily (The Hindu, Indian Express – Explained and editorial section).
- Making concise notes.
- Taking tests and answer writing to check your conceptual clarity.
- Revise, revise and revise.
(PS: You need supplementary material for cracking UPSC)
