Get FREE Ranker’s Strategy and 1-1 session for UPSC 2024
Given the fierce competition, the extensive and complicated syllabus, and the unpredictable nature of the UPSC, there is some truth to the claim that passing the UPSC exam is a much more difficult task than imagined.
On the other hand, winning this UPSC battle becomes much simpler for those who work hard in the right direction, under a strategy, followed consistently. Remember! UPSC demands absolute perfection in terms of execution.
If you are not enjoying the process of working hard for UPSC prep, it is time to evaluate your prep and simplify it.

Now, Absolute perfection is impossible to achieve in a single day. And for this reason, the adage “Only practice makes a man perfect” is true. However, this statement varies for all UPSC candidates because only perfect practice makes a difference.

What Does Hard Work Mean?
Given an example, taking the UPSC-CSE with 50%, 60%, 70%, or even 85% syllabus coverage will not ensure your success. If you have only finished half of the syllabus, there are many competitors who have revised 3X times. It means they have done 300% preparation for the exam.
To catch up with the competition you have to put in extra hours, extra effort, and a lot of dedication. Day in and day out, you have to cover the syllabus, make linkages, analyze and practice.
And you have to do this for a major part of a year. Consistently. Like a machine.
Why do 99.99% of Aspirants fail to do so?
In the pursuit of success in the UPSC exam, it is not hard work that is the key ingredient separating the winners from the rest, but consistent hard work in the ‘right direction’.
Therefore, it is crucial for an aspirant to adopt a work ethic that emphasizes persistence, determination, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Despite understanding the importance of studying hard and consistently, many UPSC aspirants struggle with burnout. You might have tried to study for UPSC for 10-12 hours/per day for a week or so, only to be unable to continue the following week.
Burnout occurs when aspirants push themselves beyond their limits, leading to physical and mental exhaustion. This can result in a lack of motivation, decreased productivity, and an inability to focus on the task at hand.
The reasons for burnout can vary, including poor time management, lack of a well-structured study plan, unrealistic expectations, and inadequate self-care. To overcome burnout and achieve success in the UPSC exam, it is crucial to address these issues and find a sustainable way of maintaining consistency in your preparation.
Remember, your mental and physical wellness is your entire life, whereas UPSC-CSE is only a step in your life. If you are not enjoying working hard for UPSC-CSE, it is time to consider how you might simplify it for yourself.

How does Samanvaya Mentorship work? Introducing 3 layers of mentorship: Get IAS or UPSC ranker as your mentor
1. We’ll schedule your 1-1 session with an IAS mentor who will get on a detailed on-call discussion around your UPSC prep situation. Understanding your challenges, strengths, weaknesses, time availability, your learning style, etc.
Knowing yourself is very important to do a year-long exam like UPSC-CSE. Why do you want to be an IAS Officer, when you can apply for any other job? Which subjects are your strengths, and which are your weaknesses? What part of the syllabus presents an opportunity to score higher? What are the threats i.e. How is your preparation compared to other aspirants?
There are no one-size-fits-all answers to these questions. What might be your strength, would be a weakness for another. If not preparing for CSAT is your threat, then the same need not be applicable to another aspirant. UPSC-CSE appears to be a competition against others but at its core, it’s a competition with yourself. It’s pushing yourself to be better than what you used to be before. Also, these are very important questions that one needs an answer to, not once but many times during their preparation
