UPSC Bible: 15 Steps to Clear UPSC Exam

How was this guide made?


● This guide has been made by EduRev experts with interviews with

their following students: Anudeep Durishetty (AIR 1, 2017), Srushti

Deshmukh (AIR 5, 2018), Junaid Ahmad (AIR 3, 2018), Akshat Jain

(AIR 2, 2018), and a few others.

● Special thanks to Divey Sethi (IRS, AIR 295) and Bhupesh Satija

(IRS, AIR 386) for reviewing the final drafts.

Why did EduRev make this guide?


● We wanted to answer the question "How to Prepare for UPSC" once

and for all in the best / perfect way possible.


● Since students waste a large amount of time, effort, and money while

preparing for UPSC just because of a lack of the right direction. We

believe it will be very very valuable for every UPSC aspirant.

● This guide was made to teach in a guided way so that you can clear

your UPSC exam with the least amount of time, effort, and money

spent, by just making sure you Study What Matters.

Step 0: Before you begin your UPSC

preparation
Best thing you can do for yourself for your UPSC preparation is give time to

read this guide and then check at different steps to see if you are in the right

direction.

● Set goals and devote time effectively: Before starting your

preparation, it is important to prepare yourself mentally and physically

for the examination. Set goals and devote time effectively.

● Analyze and chart a plan: Whether you are working or studying or

just preparing for UPSC, analyze accordingly how you would devote

time for studies and chart a plan. Today, with technology like the

internet, it is possible to balance your life and preparation with ease.

● Make a Timetable: Firstly, to become an IAS officer, it is necessary to

be like an officer with a well-organized daily routine. Set proper

deadlines, and you would work better and complete the syllabus

faster.
● Focus on Micro Planning: Planning is equally important as studying.

Plan how to study. Focus on micro-planning i.e. make daily plans, set

weekly targets, and make a broad vision for the entire month.

● Stay Motivated: Lastly, ask yourself why you want to be an IAS officer

because this will become the most important step by the time you reach

Step 14.

Akshat Jain (AIR 2, 2018) gave 2 prelims. While preparing for the first prelims

he had studied well but ended up just short of one mark from qualifying

prelims because of not having a strategy, and had to wait another year. He
was unable to crack how to attempt the paper but he was having knowledge.

Hence, combining knowledge and strategy to crack the paper is important.

When should you start preparing for UPSC?


Some people have cleared it in the first year but mostly it takes a minimum of

two years and people took 5 years to clear the exam. But no matter what start

at least one year before you intend to take the Prelim exam

Even Anudeep Durishetty got AIR 1 after attempting UPSC exam for 5 years

Step 1: Understand the UPSC Syllabus


● UPSC syllabus is the guiding light for you. Knowing the syllabus is the

foremost thing to do before you go through your preparation journey.

● Syllabus will help you to choose relevant study materials, prioritize the

subjects, etc.

● Read through the notification of the UPSC exam carefully in order to

acquaint yourself with the exam syllabus, exam pattern, exam timeline,

and eligibility criteria. Here's a link to the UPSC CSE Official

Notification.

● Understanding dates, timelines, and the pattern is critical for you to plan

YOUR timelines and strategy.

● Click here for the complete UPSC Syllabus for Prelims & Mains Exam

and get to know the detailed syllabus, pattern, and every other

information required for both UPSC Prelims and UPSC Mains exam.
Step 2: Understand Previous Year Questions

(PYQs)
● Once you’re through the syllabus, pick up the previous year's papers

and skim through them to get an understanding of what is actually

asked in the exam.

● You need to devote 2 to 4 weeks to analyze the syllabus and PYQs

alone, this will help you understand what UPSC is asking and what is

the demand.

● PYQs are important. You should look for that source that gives

topic-wise questions of previous years. So that you can have a

complete understanding of the topic and the type of questions asked.

● Instead of Year-wise PYQs, you can take topic-wise PYQs of previous

25 years as sometimes questions can be repeated.

You can find topic-wise PYQs of 25 years for prelims here.

● Lastly, you can refer to them again as they are a good source of

self-assessment in your UPSC/IAS preparation.

Check out the previous year's question papers of UPSC here.

Almost all the top rankers whom we spoke to spent over 2 weeks to just

analyse the syllabus and previous year question papers. But this helped them

in saving a considerable amount of time through their preparation journey and

they were successful in getting ranks as well.


Step 3: Build your foundation with NCERTs

● Cover your basic NCERTs first that will make a base. Reading

NCERTs will cover your base like history geography polity many

things will be covered from NCERTs.

● You have to be thorough with your NCERTs and should not just read

them but should cover them in a good manner. The first thing you

should start with is NCERTs.

● These books provide the information very coherently. Moreover, they

are reliable too as the source is the government itself.

● So, NCERTs are undoubtedly the best books to begin your IAS

preparation with. You can get a complete list of NCERTs subjectwise

for the UPSC exam here.


Why read NCERTs?

● NCERTs are the key to most of the questions asked in prelims

● Very important to build the basic concepts and understanding in each

subject

● Basic terminologies get cleared by reading them

● In previous years, few questions are asked DIRECTLY from NCERT

● The NCERT textbooks from classes six to twelve play a very

significant role in IAS exam preparation.

Subject wise NCERTs to read:

● History: Class 6 to class 12 NCERTs. You can find all of them here.

● Geography: Class 6 to 12 NCERTs. You can find all of them here.

The most recommended NCERT book for Geography is:

NCERT Class XI Fundamentals of Physical Geography

● Economics: Class 9 to 12 NCERTs. You can find all of them here.

● Polity: Class 9 to 12 NCERTs. Class 9 and 10 are having a very basic

portion but covering Class 11 and Class 12 NCERTs is important. You

can find all of them here

The most recommended NCERT book for Polity is:

Indian constitution at work: Class 11 NCERT

● Science and Tech: Class 6 to class 10 NCERTs are more than enough

for Science and Tech do not go for Class 11 and 12. You can find all of

them here.
● Must Read Old & New NCERTs: You can go through must-read old

and new NCERTs by referring to the course here and can get all the

most recommended old NCERT books like World history NCERT books

for ancient, medieval history & NCERT Fine Artbooks at one place.

What should you keep in mind while reading NCERTs?

● Do speed reading of NCERTs you can not rely only on them. Need to

explore other books too. Try relating NCERT books with other books

like M. Laxmikanth and other sources. Listen to the same things from

different sources.

Time Saving Tip: Read Summaries of NCERT (ideally after first reading). You

can find NCERT summaries here.

● Have a preliminary or basic kind of reading once to get a basic idea

and content and idea on how the syllabus has been covered.

● After initial reading go ahead with as many readings as the time

allows.

● Notes making of NCERT is important. You need to use the exact

language written in NCERT do not go for note-making in the first

reading. Read them at least twice before making any notes.


Muskan Jindal who got AIR 87 in 2019, first completed NCERTs of every

subject, then saw Past Years Papers of that subject, then took 2nd reading of

NCERT and after clearing concepts, referred to standard books.

Step 4: Current Affairs / Newspaper


● The questions asked in the civil services exam are directly or

indirectly connected with current affairs. Hence, it is very important to

follow the relevant news items in your daily newspaper.

● So, at this time, you should also start reading the newspaper. You can

check this article to understand How to Study Current Affairs for

UPSC Preparation with EduRev App

● We also cover on a daily basis what to read in the newspaper. You

can find the same here.


● But remember, a part of the Current Affairs questions can be termed

as General Knowledge questions. So, it will be incorrect to assume

that reading newspapers daily will be sufficient to solve such

questions.

We also cover a summary of Weekly & Monthly which are very important for

revision and memorising from a UPSC perspective. You can find weekly

current affairs & monthly current affairs on EduRev.

● Lastly, do make sure you attempt tests on the basis of current affairs

that'll make sure you are covering & learning relevant topics (you can

attempt tests based on Current affairs on EduRev here)

Since your ultimate aim when you are taking the IAS exam is to work for the

Indian government. Naturally, there are many government sources you can

rely on during your preparation.

● Government websites like the PIB, PRS and national television

programs featured on Rajya Sabha TV are very helpful. Read daily

PIB Summary from the course of PIB (Press Information Bureau)

Summary on EduRev.

● Gist of Rajya Sabha TV programs for UPSC is another recommended

source.
Other than government sources:

● Reading Gist of the Monthly Yojana Magazine (English), Kurukshetra,

and Economic & Political Weekly magazines can save a lot of time

and effort.

● They contain important information on topics like polity, governance,

agriculture, economy, etc.

You can go through the EduRev's Current Affairs Course which covers

Important Current affairs & Analysis of Hindu on a Daily basis. All the

exam-relevant news items are covered in a concise manner, you can find the

same here.

Step 5: Standard Reference Books


Apart from the NCERTs, you need to also follow a few other advanced

textbooks. Once you have read all the NCERTs, it’s time to expand your

knowledge by reading the standard books.

But again, remember you must check PYQs first and then check these books.

In our analysis, we found the below common books that are recommended by

almost all the top rankers. To save your time, we have linked them to the

summaries for each.

● Modern History: Spectrum

● Polity: Laxmikanth
● Geography: GC Leong, Atlas

● Art & Culture: Nitin Singhania

● Economics: NCERT + Ramesh Singh

● Environment & Ecology: Shankar IAS notes

● Science and Tech, International Relations, etc: Current Affairs

● Read The Hindu daily and Explained page of Indian Express, and also

PT 365, Mains 365 (for current affairs)

Since there are so many books to read, here is a fast method to save time:

Read Summaries of all these books quickly first or if you have read them

already, you can use the summaries for revision. We have linked each book to

its summary in the course Famous Books for UPSC Exam (Summary & Tests)

Helpful Tips from Toppers for Reference books:


● Read books in which the objective part of the syllabus is more for

example spectrum for history, Laxmikanth, etc

● All these books which contain objective things need to be revised

again and again

● Prepare from NCERTs first and then move to high-level books.

● Build basics and then add more in them with these book summaries

and other sources

● Read the books at least twice and then make your handwritten notes

to be used for answer-writing practice at the later stage!


● You can also watch video lectures on EduRev from the course

Famous Books for UPSC Exam (Summary & Tests).

Step 6: Subject Wise Preparation


There is so much information available but not many questions are asked

from every topic so we research how many questions come from each topic

and teach you in-depth accordingly. It is important to have the right approach

and strategy while preparing subject-wise for UPSC.

How we cover each subject, making sure you Study

What Matters:
● For each subject, we have structured the learning material based on

extensive Previous Year Questions Research & a deep Paper

Pattern analysis

● We have covered Famous Books Summaries for all standard

reference books that are important,

● Each Course contains Learning Notes, Revision Notes & Learning

Videos

● Related NCERTs, NCERT summaries & NCERT Tests for each topic

within the same section

● Topic-wise tests for each and every topic have been covered so you

go through at least 5000 questions before your sit for the actual exam.
Refer to the subject wise sections below and get a complete idea of how

to ace individual subjects for UPSC with EduRev:

● Syllabus, & Strategy to study Science & Technology

● We have covered Science & Tech as mentioned above in this Course

here

Timeline Tip: First reading of GS and optional should be completed atleast 8

months before and second reading atleast 5 months before the Prelims.

Step 7: Organization of Notes


● The organization of notes is very important. The separation of topics

and notes is very important for your UPSC preparation.

Always Prepare same set of notes for prelims and mains but when you are

preparing for prelims focus on that portion which is relevant for prelims.

● Keep everything you read like notes of a particular subject, you read

about that subject online, you get some other material of that.
● Keep everything in one folder of that subject. So that your time doesn’t

get wasted and during revision, you are able to get everything you have

ever read about in that subject at a particular place.

EduRev notes are by default arranged in Courses (like folders) so you don't

have to find/buy books again and again.

● Revision and note-making are important and one should revise from

notes only. Don’t look for the book again and again

Other than being one of the greatest set of content, another advantage is that

you can access all through One App anywhere even when you are out of your

house and even while travelling.

Step 8: Give Regular Tests


Don’t plan that you will first "complete the syllabus" and only then give tests.

This is the wrong approach. Instead, practicing more and more tests as early

as possible will make you better. The syllabus never gets "completed", so you

must focus on Tests from the start.


Test giving is important for multiple reasons:

1. Even when you are going through NCERTs, you need to give tests to

learn/retain them better. You can access tests for all NCERTs here.

2. When you are studying a subject topic-wise, giving tests at the same

point is equally important, else you cannot be sure if you have really

understood that topic.

3. Also a very important factor and guiding light in your preparation is the

All India Ranking (AIR) since, in the end, UPSC is a competitive

exam.

4. Even if you read everything you need to judge your preparation

through the All India ranking you get in EduRev tests which is an

important guiding factor.


After every EduRev test (topic-wise/sectional/full mocks) you get your national

ranking (AIR) which is extremely helpful to understand where you stand in the

competition.

Detailed Analysis after Tests

● As with mock tests, it is important to analyze your topic-wise tests for

mistakes and improve accordingly in every test.

● Always understand the nature of your mistakes

● Spot Patterns like the type of mistakes you are doing, whether you are

taking unnecessary risks or if you are weak in some foundational topics.

● Always work on the nature of your mistake.

EduRev is the only source where you will get tests for each and every topic

(topic-wise), NCERTs, subject wise tests and even full mock tests/series. Find

the test series covering everything here.

Step 9: Revise
Since the UPSC syllabus is vast and diverse, covering multifarious subjects, it

is natural to forget things that you had studied earlier. To avoid this, timely

revision is a must.

● Ideally, finish your first reading at least 8 months before the Prelims

exam.
● Then try to quickly finish your second reading/revision 5 months before

the Prelims.

● During your 2nd reading, develop the habit of note-making. Make your

own notes of subjects, books as well as current affairs.

Concise the things so that you do not have to refer to many things later

● Even revise your Current Affairs notes 3 to 4 times, before prelims.

● Not just Revision but re-revision is very very important. So plan to revise

periodically.

● So ideally, revise at least 3 times.

In our analysis with Toppers, they all concur that GS can be handled with

ease, provided it is approached with proper planning and time management.

Also, here is a course that can help you revise for Prelims completely in 30

days: Crash Course for UPSC

Step 10: Attempt Mock Tests


For last 2-3 months before prelims, you should come in the MCQ mode. Start

attempting mock test series and even practice yourself with as many tests as

possible.

It will give you an exam feel. Once you get acclimatised, it will reduce

exam-time stress.

● The single most effective tool to crack prelims is mock tests.


● Practice one mock test daily in the morning because the exam will be in

the morning and your brain will work faster.

● Try to join test series like the one at EduRev which you can give at any

time you want and not an external schedule so that you are able to

practice/attempt whenever you want. You can find the Mock Test Series

here.

Identify your own strategy for mock tests. Do you value accuracy or speed?

Vaishali Singh attempted 90 to 95 questions in mock tests some students get

good marks by attempting just 75 questions. See and know what works for

you.

How to Attempt Mock Tests

● Solving mock tests within the time limit is a must. Learn to finish in time

both Paper 1 and Paper 2.


● In the two-hour period go through the questions thrice and mark

absolutely sure questions in the first attempt, then those in which you

have doubt, need to keep track of accuracy test series help in achieving

accuracy.

● Sit for an actual exam-like mock test at the same time.

● And then consistently stick to YOUR final paper-solving approach right

till the end.

Subject Wise Tests

● Focus equally on subject-wise tests (initially give sectional test) along

with full syllabus test.

● It is important to take subject-wise tests as they tell you your strength.

● You can attempt subject-wise tests here.

● Ideally, choose prelims test series from two sources, you can use one

like EduRev which gives you the freedom to attempt whenever you want

and you can join one complimentary one with that.

Shubham Aggarwal, AIR 25, 2019 joined test series and gave polity-based

test series only so that he can judge himself and his understandings.

Tests on CSAT

● CSAT is mostly ignored mostly but very critical. We have all seen many

stories where students got rejected because they were not able to

qualify for the CSAT.

● CSAT is generally more challenging for nonscience students as they

have attempted/practiced less for these types of questions in general.


Testing Tip: First without any preparation solve a length previous year paper

in time. If you are scoring greater than 80 marks then no need to prepare for

CSAT. But if you are scoring less than 80 marks practice CSAT questions

regularly till you get better.

● Try to reach the end of the paper never get stuck on a question as easy

questions are there in the end

● For CSAT practice, there is a complete course for practice with tests.

Plus you can also use the Mock Test Series Course to practice for

full-length CSAT tests.

● CSAT: Focus and work on your strengths some students have strong

English some have strong maths, since it is just a qualifying paper, you

need to just work smartly, no need to take extra coaching for the same

as you can easily do by yourself / with EduRev.

● But do not focus on CSAT in just the last month. Try to complete CSAT

well before the exam.

Analyzing Mock Tests

● Analysis of mock tests is absolutely necessary. Self-assessment is an

essential part of UPSC preparation.

● Ideally, analyze Mock tests ASAP after the test

● For wrong attempts understand why you committed the mistakes

● Try to Identify topics/themes where you are going repeatedly wrong

Go to your EduRev Profile (Analysis tab) to see your macro comprehensive

analysis and see if you can patterns in the mistakes that you make.
● Work out ways to eliminate silly errors

● Never forget to analyze correctly attempted questions as well

● Brush up on the concepts of your weak areas that you may have missed

● This will help you in shaping YOUR approach/strategy and even

identifying strengths and weaknesses.

● It will not only help you in anxiety management during the actual exam

but will also prepare you extremely well for the exam!

Any new static knowledge gained add in your notes. And even for current

affairs maintain a separate diary and note down new things learn there.

Step 11: UPSC Mains Preparation


● Start your preparation of Mains from the day you have given Prelims

(after checking the answer key and verifying your qualifying score)

● Even for Mains preparation, you should solve the previous year's

prelims question after you finish the topic.

● Prelims is having two portions static and current affairs. Have a good

command over static portion as current affairs portion can not be

trusted. If you cover the syllabus of mains of static portion then you will

be covering a good portion of prelims too.

Expert Opinion: "EduRev's coverage for the static part is the most

comprehensive and well thought out curriculum available anywhere out there.

Following EduRev's content for static can give you an unfair advantage."

● So, focus on static portion of Mains and try to have a stronghold.


Links to Study What Matters for Paper I, II, III:

● History

● Geography

● Polity

● Economics

● International Relations

Use the same set of notes for prelims and mains but when you are preparing

for Mains focus on that portion which is matching the syllabus of Mains.

Links to Study What Matters for Paper IV, V:

● Science & Technology

● Environment

● Disaster Management

● Ethics, Integrity & Aptitude

Step 12: Answer Writing


While starting the preparation do not focus much on newspapers and answer

writing.

● When you have made a base after reading NCERTs and started off with

other steps mentioned above. You can go for answer writing on

weekends.

● Before that, it will be a futile exercise as you will have to depend on

books for the content of the answer.


Read one topic daily for a week and practice writing answers of that topic on

Sunday.

● UPSC exam is mainly about testing your analytical, critical, and

communicative abilities. It demands you to think with conceptual clarity

and organize your views, perceptions, and thoughts in a flawless

manner.

● Another thing to be kept in mind is the time and space constraints in the

answer booklet. Therefore, candidates have to answer the questions

quickly and effectively, and in minimum words.

● So writing a good answer is not possible without adequate answer

writing practice.

Topper Tip: "Start an Essay with some story or anecdote or some data or

quote". "Brainstorm for 15 minutes to choose an essay."

● All these help you to prepare great answers: Facts, Newspapers,

Definitions, Budget, international indexes, ranking of India, Flowcharts,

Committee reports, Niti Aayog, 3-year agendas, even all the other

government documents.

● Answer writing practice helps very much in the exam as in exam you

can identify the keywords and can write answers based on the

knowledge you have acquired through practicing even if you know

nothing about the questions still you can attempt!


● At this stage, it is also important to incorporate consistent revision. You

should keep your weekends free for a dedicated revision of whatever

new you’ve learned during the week.

You can also check some sample UPSC answers here.

Step 13: Optional Subject


The optional subject accounts for 500 marks in the UPSC final tally.

Hence, you should choose an optional subject wisely and after a thorough

think-through of the pros and cons of the subjects, you have in mind. Some of

the factors to keep in mind before selecting an optional are:

● Interest in the subject

● Prior knowledge in it/academic background

● Comfort in the subject

● Overlap with the GS papers

● Availability of study material/coaching

Before Prelims, only if time permits, you may revise your optional subject.

Else focus on clearing your Prelims and Mains first.

Step 14: UPSC Interview


In Step 0, we asked you to start asking why do you want to become an IAS

officer, that is a very important question and if you have found a true honest

answer that will help you a lot with the interview. This method will keep you

mentally well prepared for the interview days.


Interview or Personality Test being the final stage in the UPSC exam process

is an important stage in the process, and here it is something more than

academics that will help you.

● The first step for the interview starts with filling the Detailed

Application Form (DAF) for UPSC, make sure you fill it attentively.

● Always be well aware of your native place.

● Never bluff and be honest and be yourself during the interview.

● You will be assessed on qualities such as diplomatic skills,

communication skills, presence of mind, reaction to stress, etc.

● You will also be asked questions about your interests, hobbies,

education, and work experience if any. So, you have to brush up on

these aspects.

● While preparing for the interview: Remember Your opinion and

expressiveness matter.

And if you have reached the interview stage and want to connect with the right

mentors, feel free to reach out to us at EduRev and we'll connect you with

relevant civil service officers.

Step 15: Believe in Yourself when giving the

exams
● Without self-belief, you can not perform well in this exam even if you

study a lot.
● Believe in yourself and be consistent.

● The journey is very difficult but if you have strong determination you

will clear the exam. But prepare yourself for failures, there will be

many. You just need to get up from each of them and walk towards

your goal.

● So probably, the most important aspect at the end of your entire

UPSC journey is to stay positive. There are times when it can get

quite hard/overwhelming but remember that happens to the best of


top rankers. You just need to remove negative thoughts from your

head and march forward towards your goal.

Frequently Asked Questions on UPSC

Preparation
Q.1. Is Coaching necessary? Or Can I prepare for UPSC at home with

Self Study?

Ans: Srushthi Deshmukh, AIR 5, UPSC 2018 says, "It is not necessary to

take any coaching or go to Delhi for coaching. Good coaching can give you

direction but you need to walk on the way yourself. So it’s important to get a

good direction from somewhere but it does not mean that you need to travel a

huge distance. Don’t make excuses and work for yourself."

It will tell you what to study and what not to study but if you are confident you

can do without coaching too it’s up to you. This document/guide and even

other content/courses on EduRev on How to Prepare, does that job very well

as well.

Q.2. Is 1 year enough for IAS preparation?

Ans: Yes, 1 year is sufficient for IAS preparation if you prepare diligently. It is

hard but people have done that in the past. In general, most toppers (under

AIR 100) took ~ 2 years to clear the exam though.

Q.3. How can I start my IAS preparation during graduation?


Ans: You can start your IAS preparation during graduation itself. All you must

do is go through the syllabus and chart out a study plan for IAS. Starting early

has many advantages. You will have age on your side since the IAS age limit

will be far away. Also, being young and still a student, you would be in touch

with academics, giving you an extra edge. Also, being in college, you can

make use of your college library for preparation. And, make sure you take part

in college fests and events as this experience will help you develop a

well-rounded personality, and also make up for your lack of work experience in

case you clear the exam right after your graduation!

Q.4. How to prepare for IAS exam after 12th?

Ans: If you are starting your preparation after 12th, you have the advantage of

choosing a subject for graduation that will suit your IAS preparation. You can

opt for graduation in subjects like political science, history, or sociology –

subjects that will help you cover the UPSC syllabus in a better way. This way,

you can easily combine your graduation studies and IAS preparation. Also,

you have enough time to hone your soft skills like communication skills and

also develop a good hobby – both of which would aid you in the interview

stage.

Q.5. How to prepare for IAS while doing engineering?

Ans: Many candidates have cleared the IAS exam preparing for it while they

were engineering students. Even though it can get hectic, it is not impossible.

With a full-fledged plan and the correct guidance, it is possible to crack the

toughest exam in India even while in engineering college.


Q.6. How can I apply for the IAS exam?

Ans: Check UPSC Notifications page regularly. UPSC updates all the relevant

UPSC news and information you need to know. You need to fill in the forms as

per the timelines mentioned by UPSC.
