Many a time it is seen that students preparing from past 3 to 4 years are unable to clear the exam, then how can I clear in my first attempt?

The idea behind those students not clearing the exam from past 3 to 4 years is their weakness in a particular field like they may be weak in their optional subject or they might be weak in scoring in mains Or unable to clear the prelims itself, so the thumb rule for this exam is do not compare your studies with others.

Can you please elaborate the standard way of preparation?

Although there is no fixed strategy to prepare for UPSC, there are some steps which you can adopt to make your concepts clear.

You need five set of Strategy:

  • Standard Reference books (SRB): The most important part of your preparation is to refer NCERT books. NCERTs are important because many questions in the preliminary exam, are directly or indirectly asked from them � History, geography, science, and economics. If you�re appearing for State PSC exams, then use NCERTs and also Use State Education Board textbooks (History, Geography, Social Science). They are designed with the main objective of explaining the underlying concept/principle of topic.
  • Newspaper

Why is it important to read the newspaper?

Because in the Civil Services exams, at all three stages (preliminary, Mains and interview), questions related to current affairs are asked. To write a decent essay, you need facts and viewpoints. For this you need "Fodder", points and newspapers are best sources for the fodder material.

Which are the most recommended newspapers?

The Hindu, Indian Express, Business Standard, Economic Times, are some of the most important papers that should be referred to.

How Much time should be given in reading newspapers?

There is no fix timing for reading paper. It all depends upon your speed and understanding. But atleast 1-2 hours is suggested.

Can I just use Vision IAS/ Insights IAS/ IAS baba or any other coachings monthly magazine?

Such magazines only serve as "supplement" and not as "substitute" for the newspapers. Why? Because the magazines have the page limit, they cannot give justice to every single topic, even if they wish to.

What are the important items in a newspaper?

First go through the old question papers of UPSC (at least last three years), that will give you a rough idea about what questions are asked directly or indirectly from newspaper. And then read the newspaper keeping that in mind.
Press conference of government, Various bills, minutes of Cabinet meetings. The big full-page advertisements given by govt, about their achievements, Election related items..

Is it possible to clear this exam in first attempt?

YES, you can easily clear this exam in your first attempt itself, provided you are very serious throughout your preparation. Many examples are there in this regard like 2016 topper Tina daabi.
