HOW TO START UPSC PREPARATION FROM ZERO LEVEL

Who will say “no” to serve the Indian government? I guess most people won't say no to serving the Indian government, so the competition is high to get a job in the Indian government. The Union Public Service Commission, commonly abbreviated as UPSC, is India's premier central recruiting agency for central government public servants. It is responsible for appointments to and examinations for Group A and Group B posts under the civil services cadre and defence services cadre of the union government. All the aspirants for the Indian government jobs will appear on the UPSC exam, one who cracks all the exams will get the job with the Indian government. If you are new to this competition or anyone who doesn’t know how to prepare properly for the exams of UPSC. Here is the strategy of how one can start UPSC preparation from zero level. All you need about UPSC exams and how to crack the exams is in this one post.

The followings are some points on how to start UPSC preparation from zero level:

1. DESIRED AIM ON UPSC EXAMS

2. STICK TO A NEW LIFESTYLE

3. MAKE A SCHEDULE

4. KNOW THE UPSC EXAMS

5. KNOW THE SYLLABUS

6. FOLLOW CURRENT AFFAIRS

7. REVISE NCERT

8. SOLVING PREVIOUS YEAR QUESTION BANK

9. MOCK TEST SERIES

10. GOVERNMENT RESOURCES

11. REVISION

12. STAY POSITIVE                                                                                                                                                                                                                    DESIRED AIM ON UPSC EXAMS:
    Don’t waste time competing in UPSC exams preparations, just because you can’t find the path to your desired career. Be ready to invest your fullest efforts to earn a better outcome. Cracking the UPSC exams won’t be an easy task like eating your favorite foods, it needs hard work and consistency throughout the process like getting six-packs. Don’t get demotivated rather than have a strongly desired aim on cracking UPSC exams, when you give yourself to anything, then nothing seems a barrier on the way. So be focused and have the belief, to be successful in cracking UPSC exams.
    
    STICK TO A NEW LIFESTYLE:
    Wake up early, do yoga or exercises to be active all day, spend some time in nature, and fill your stomach with healthy foods at the proper frequency of time. Also, engage in a night of proper sleep. All those mentioned are mandatory things a person should follow every day, in addition, everyone should focus on improving their skills and work on achieving their desired aims and needs in their life.
    
    MAKE A SCHEDULE:
    Know your lifestyle, make a schedule for your day-to-day activities, eliminate the unnecessary time involved and create a simplified timetable to follow up each day. Try to have more time available for your UPSC exam preparations in the timetable while preparing it. I don’t suggest you run your life on the timetable available on the internet, because you only know your life better, so when you make a timetable for yourself, then it’s easy to follow every day. Otherwise, you will find it difficult to follow the timetable.
    
    KNOW THE UPSC EXAMS:
    There are many exams conducted by UPSC for the recruitment of central government job posts. All the posts of UPSC fell under the three categories and they are All India Civil Services, Group ‘A’ Civil Services, and Group ‘B’ Civil Services. The followings are the various posts under those three categories:

    Group ‘B’ Civil Services

    DANICS
    DANIPS

The UPSC has presented the syllabus for the Civil Services Preliminary and Main examination in an elaborate manner. Applicants should know and follow the syllabus for UPSC civil service examination. Understanding the syllabus will assist you to choose appropriate study materials, prioritize the subjects, etc.
