Government & Defence Entrance Exam

Hi Mohith!
Civil services exams like UPSC are not really a tough exam to crack. Every year many candidates clear this exam in single attempt. It all depends how many mistakes you avoid during your preparation. It's easy if you make very few mistakes and follow right things consistently throughout preparation. All you need is following requirements:
1. Strong motivation - Why you want to be an IAS or IPS officer? - If your desire is strong and if it has solid motivation (hopefully, a good one), this takes care of sustaining your preparation momentum
2. Right Guidance - There are thousands of sources to follow. Choose the best ONE and follow it. Many people fail because of wrong or bad guidance. This exam is very easy if you get correct guidance to guide you.
3. Right Environment - Be where competition is there. You should be in an environment where people around you are competing.
4. Keep it Simple: Don't complicate by resorting to too many sources, materials and guides. Too many cooks spoil the broth.
5. Be consistent - One-year plans turn out to be five-year plans due to lack of consistency. Changing strategies, changing jobs, changing locations, changing options, changing guides all kill your chances. Be faithful to ONE right thing. The probability of getting what you want will be high. Finally, be ready to face all hurdles beforehand. And then take the plunge.
