General rules

Always structure the answer in all papers. When you do this below exercise it is seen that you never
miss any subpart of the questions .

Try to give examples with each point like divya mishra does

Also when you write a definition in intro, here to give an example. Like below, after defining
social mobility you could give example of poor dalit becoming an IAS
Infact whenever the word “explain” comes, always define and substantiate with an example.
when there are multiple points in a single point Can write like this
Write better conclusions-

Content is the KING!

Give less space to intro and conclusion and more to core demand
Core demand must have 7-8 points
You can write short points to increase the number of points
Divyanshu nigam 104 in GS3 —>7-8 points needed
Jagriti awasti- see the number of points written.
It is good that you have increased the number of points in your answers
If you are short of points and large space remains, don’t leave it blank. Write a large
conclusion to fill the space
Writing features

When there are two technical words in question , first define both
If question is about khilafat and NCM and their merger, first define both the
movements

assertion has been made.
If consfused . Ex- the PMO is weilding immense political power. Explain both - Why and How of it
 Answer WHY HR must be respected by nations. Give reason to the assertion!

Answer WHY an independent judiciary is needed. Rather you wrote the implications of not
having independent judiciary! The implication is already written that constitution becomes
a statement of empty promises.

This is an assertion that presidential system is a better way.

Give reasoning as to WHY presidential system is better.
What are the challenges in a presidential system

writing the second part properly.

Examples cannot be independent points. They must be used to support your arguments . Here you
have given example as a point.
In this question core demand of question is relevance and not what gandhi’s secularism was. There is no
need of writing gandhi’s secularism in 3 points. Just mention briefly and elaborate on. relevance
