Paradigm ias academy : Preparing IAS interview

After all the preparation and hard work comes the final stage i.e., interview. Many a times, students clear the preliminary and the mains but fail at the last stage. Anyhow, nobody wants to end up with this outcome. Hence, it’s important to note that the secret is to start for preparations for the interview along with the written test.

You are required to firmly and confidently put forth your point in the interview. This desires to develop the habit of debating and discussing issues with friends or parents. Listen to the current affairs programmes and learn to organize thoughts the way the participants do. Also, develop interests and hobbies so that you are able to answer convincingly. Understand the current affairs and the issues behind the events. Remember that the interview is not a cross examination but a natural and purposeful conversation. It is an opportunity to reveal the mental qualities of a candidate.

Since the specialized knowledge is already tested in written examination, the idea behind the interview is to analyze the social traits of a person and his personality as suited to a career in the Civil Services. There is a rare chance of you being selected if you lay the impression of a bookworm. The candidate is desired to exhibit an intelligent interest in events happening around him so that he appears to be a complete personality.

Owing to all the above mentioned points, one is bound to think whether to join a coaching centre or not. This is a very frequently asked question and there is a lot of confusion as to which is the best institute to opt for. At, Paradigm IAS Academy, we suggest that joining the best IAS institute in Pune is helpful in the sense that one develops the discipline of attending regular classes. As being Best IAS classes in Pune an instructor may be available who can give an opinion about the answers written by a candidate. At the same time, the candidate will meet like-minded people with whom he can develop the habit of debating and discussion. However, the coaching centre must be chosen with care: the instructor must be erudite enough to be able to guide students. If he is not well read, the chances of guiding others would be diminished.

It must also be remembered that preparation for the optional subjects must be done on one’s own, as it is unlikely that any coaching centre would be able to do justice to all the subjects.

Cracking IAS exam #Tip2 by paradigm IAS Academy

Apprehend the difference between the successful and failure candidate

Students often delve into the thought that why one of their friends cleared the exam and they couldn’t; considering the fact that they both used the same study material for preparation. There would surely be n number of common factors that that were considered by both the successful and unsuccessful candidate while preparing but at the same time there is something unique that made one successful.

We know that all the candidates are having books, all the candidates are dedicated to work and most of them attend coaching institutions, take guidance from seniors and friends but what not necessarily all succeed. Students say they studied for 18 hours and still they couldn’t make mains. Others say they studied only for 8-9 hours and could make mains. Why these differences?

The difference between successful candidates and the failure candidates is same as difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary persons.

One who is able to make mains never counts the hours and how many books he/she has read. But they are very clear on what they have to read, what not to read, how much to read, how to use when required writing the answers.Civil Service exam never wants one to be ideal. It requires creativity, innovativeness within the candidates, who lack to use his/her knowledge properly they feel tough to clear the exam.

Before starting the preparation, acknowledge these points and find out properly what to read, what not to read, what types of question are asked from particular topics. Mere guidance from others won’t work; you ought to put your own strategy as their strategy might not be suitable for you. So strategies well and work smart to achieve success in mains.

Cracking IAS exam #Tip1 Precise knowhow of syllabus

Cracking IAS seems difficult and owing to this many times students jump on to the difficult tasks and topics thinking that it would be of utmost benefit in getting through. The clear answer to this is “No”. Knowing what not to read is as important as the knowledge of what all to study.

To perfect this part,
first go through General Studies syllabus thoroughly and try to be foolproof with the syllabi. If you know syllabus, 20% of your work is over. It helps you what to read and what not to read. Don’t neglect the added syllabus. Always questions will be asked from the new syllabus. Try to think what type of questions may come from particular topic. What is the relevance of particular topic in today’s life?

This year there is change in the syllabus of General-Studies and also optional paper. Don’t get tense when somebody says there is change in syllabus. Civil Service exam tries to select candidates who are creative and innovative and aware of day to day life. Accordingly, syllabus has been changed.

Hence, don’t panic rather step ahead with the confidence which is possible when you have grabbed the important part of the syllabus thoroughly.
