UPSC 2014 - Finally !!


Dear All, 

A sigh of relief finally !!

GoI has arrived at a conclusion after over a month long chaos on the fate of GS II towards Prelims. 

The exam would be held as per schedule - on 24th August.

Let's not opine now - whether the decision was worthy or could be improved or .......because such scholarly debates may raise the TRP of TV shows but is of hardly any use to the aspirants. 

And we too believe that the aspirants should focus and concentrate on "the" day. 

However, we are not reticent to admit that we feel validated & vindicated - as no substantial change has been incorporated - and our original suggestion to the aspirants to stay calm and carry on with their preparations - has stood the test of time. 

Now at the final hour, we have further suggestions:

1. Let's forget about the so-called changes in GS II or CSAT !!

Only 9-10 Comprehension questions whose translation is not provided have been affected - that is - marks won't be counted for merit determination - but some minimum qualifying criteria would hopefully be attached. 

Say, out of 25 marks or so, may be 7.5 marks need to be scored !! However, that's not explicitly clear - so, why bang our heads for it ??

Let's keep in mind that NOTHING substantial has changed and we have to attempt 80  or so questions in GS II and make the maximum. 

GS I - by God's grace, remains untouched !!

2. So, how does our strategy change?? It remains as is & as was.....

3. Please REVISE & ONLY REVISE

4. Don't stretch - don't study anything extravagant. 

5. Solve 2 - 3 Full Length questions papers. 

6. Sleep Well !! Eat healthy....and stay fit to give the best on 24th 

With loads of wishes .............

UPSC 2014: From the Director's Desk


Dear All, 

A confusion has emerged that the Prelims exams might be postponed. Moreover, there are talks of a change in pattern - English Ya Vinglish !!

This is unfortunate, no doubt. 

However, our message to all the genuine aspirants in this unstable atmosphere is: 

"Please DO NOT panic. Please DO NOT lose motivation. These are temporary jitters. These small waves should NOT & must NOT bother you. To ride over uncertainties is part of a bureaucrat's career."

As regards to preparation is concerned, we suggest you please carry on with your normal mode of preparations without losing the enthusiasm. 

Firstly, any drastic change in the pattern is unexpected. And, if there is/are any changes, it shouldn't [rather couldn't] be so dramatic so as to affect your preparations that you've been undergoing for the last 1 - 2 years !

So, maintain the momentum, and don't be distracted because of unnecessary rumours. In fact, please avoid rumour-mongers. 

Let UPSC & GoI/DoPT come out with clarity. Till then, let's not jump our guns !!

Wish you ALL the BEST for PRELIMS 2014.
