Paradigm Ias Academy :Tips to cope with stress of Ias Exam


UPSC exam, undoubtedly, is full of cut throat competition and each aspirant has one just one goal: “to clear the exam”. At Paradigm IAS Academy, we suggest that this spirit is good but it shouldn’t be at the cost of the student’s overall health and well being. Many a time’s students ignore the insurmountable pressure on them and keep going on with the preparations. This more often than not leads to stress and ultimately highly decreases the capability and capacity during the days when exam is nearing.
Stress is the silent enemy that erodes you from within mentally, physically, emotionally and intellectually. This emotion has the power to wear and tear your bodies thereby reducing the productivity and efficiency. And no one wishes to witness such situation.
There is a tremendous need that students should be wise at devising strategy to manage stress, anxiety and depression; thus, preventing themselves from poor performance in the exam. Paradigm IAS Academy shares simple tips to keep stress at bay:
1.      Practice simple Yoga, Pranayama (breathing practice) and Meditation ( for 10-15 minutes). These are some of the finest ways to de-stress the mind and gain the ability to manage stress, anxiety and depression. This stress buster not merely calms you down but also increases memory, concentration and grasping power.
2.      Sound sleep is very essential as it has the capacity to freshen you up and enhance your memory and recalling power.
3.      Practice some sports like morning or evening walking, brisk walk (top 10 benefits of Brisk Walk), cycling, swimming, jogging, etc.
4.      Consume well-balanced and nutritious meals, especially green vegetables to gain adequate fibre and roughage thereby preventing the problem of constipation and helping maintain an ideal weight.
5.      Avoid excessive consumption of Tea, Coffee, Smoking, and other stimulants as these increase acidity.
6.      Listen to music, songs, gazal, have time go to movie.

Since the introduction of Ethics Paper in IAS Mains General Studies as GS Paper 4, Civil Services aspirants are in a dilemma. As ethics is not a subject taught in schools/ colleges, it is quite natural from the candidate’s point of view to ponder about the questions to be asked from the ethics. But there is no need to be fear and if properly handled, this could be a scoring subject.
Ethics as a part of IAS Mains has much wider dimensions. Ethics has its roots in Philosophy, Psychology, Sociology and Public Administration. If you will see the UPSC syllabus then it has been mentioned that this paper will include questions to test the candidate’s attitude and approach to issues relating to integrity, probity in public life and his problem solving approach to various issues and conflicts faced by him in dealing with society. Questions utilize the case study approach to determine these aspects.
