In this section of the blog, I would like to categorically elaborate on the many benefits of solving the UPSC prelims question papers of the past years and the previous year papers and talk about how to use the previous year papers.

So basically, the best way to study for the IAS exam would be to first practice on a random previous year question paper. With that done, you’ll be able to gauge your strengths and weaknesses.

Then, according to those, you can begin covering the UPSC syllabus in a way where you’d first cover the topics that you are weak at, and then eventually go over to the ones you are strong at.

There are other criteria of eligibility for UPSC as well that you definitely need to look into before applying for the IAS exam online.

Now, let’s look into the final section of this blog where I’ll explain how to download the UPSC admit card.

Before we continue any further, I would like to bring to your attention that the UPSC admit card for the 2021 Mains exam, which is going to be held from 7th January 2022 onwards, will be out on the UPSC’s official website. 

The UPSC admit cards are electronic in nature. That means it will not be sent to you by post, rather you’d have to download it from the official website of the UPSC and take a printout of it.

So, the first thing that you need to know about UPSC preparation is that it is not possible to succeed by just being a bookworm. 

Along with being a bookworm, you’d also need to be well-read, socially and politically aware, and also confident as a person. Along with all of that you’d also need to have an assertive yet pleasing personality.

Then comes the second phase as per the examination pattern or the Mains round, which is basically the core of the UPSC exams and the most important step of selection.  

Lastly, comes the third stage as per the examination pattern, or the Personal interview round, which is designed to test your personality and your acumen as a bureaucrat.
