“You
will Become, What you Think About”
Indian Administrative service
(IAS) is the most reputed Job of India. The Officers of this respected Civil
service are recruited through Civil service examination (also called IAS exam)
conducted by UPSC. IAS service though has incomparable power associated with
it, it also brings numerous responsibilities.
Civil services are no bed of roses. For example, An
IAS officer (and also officers of other reputed civil service like IFS, IPS)
has to be diplomatic enough to understand and manage the situations that arise
in the civil services on a regular basis. Thus the UPSC takes full care in
recruitment of the officers that'll manage the steel frame of the country.
There job is to fit the Right man into the Right job
and they are experts in doing it. There are a few qualities that are being
looked for in the candidate during selection process. This is the reason why
the success rate is so low in this exam. Lakhs of students compete every year
for getting into prestigious civil services, but only about less than a
thousand make it.
In order to be successful, a candidate firstly has
to make a right concept in mind about this exam. Success is not very far if
preparation is done on a regular basis. Structurally preparing for every stage
brings the candidate to some milestone in the first attempt itself (or even may
go through). Provided that the new pattern of the IAS exam is likely to give
importance to younger candidates with sharp and agile mind and dedication as
the aptitude factor is the sole criteria now to judge candidates in the prelims
exam.
Consulting any senior and successful candidate,
Reading the toppers testimonials and going through previous IAS exam papers is
always helpful for developing the right concept. It's not necessary to cover
the entire syllabus in the exam, because the expectations of UPSC are not
possible to overcome in real sense. But candidate needs to analyze his
strengths and then to focus upon them to facilitate his success in this exam
rather than trying to prepare everything.
“Things work out best for those who make the best
of how things work out.”
