GS-1 Salient features of Indian Society, Diversity of India.

GS-4 Case Studies.

Question 1)

“Buddhism was more of a social movement under the backing of a religion”. Elucidate. 10 marks

Question 2)

The Election Commission of India has a much wider mandate than its counterpart in the U.S. and this has ensured the smoother power transfer in the U.S. In light of this compare the powers of two commissions and explain how it helped in consolidating democracy. 10 marks

Question 3)

India needs an organic economic growth based on innovation and competitiveness instead of focusing specific sector in export-driven growth. Comment. 10 marks

Question 4)

Due to the contemporary developments in the information technology and convergence, the accesses of adults and children to media including variety of entertainment have increased. The children have impressionable minds and the quality of entertainment would have a bearing on them even when they grow adults. One moderately rich family has two children who have given mobile phones to their children with internet connection so that they can complement their studies with huge amount of information and aids available on the internet. Father encourage children to ‘grow with the technology of their times’ and rather than ‘forcing discipline’ on them. However, there is also misuse of information technology. The students are engaging in many undesirable activities outside the school, especially their exposure to many computer games (Blue Whale Challenge, Dead Space 2, Mortal Kombat, Medal of Honour, Call of Duty Black OPS, New Vegas etc.), which are known to be fatal and addictive, impinging on their education and value systems. In this context, what steps parents can take to stop such new and pervasive kind of menace due to the unrestricted use of the computers and mobile phones? Also discuss importance of “forced discipline” in this case. 10 marks

Adapt to the expectations of UPSC, bury old ways of preparation | Fill Samanvaya for IAS 2021 to know how.
Do you know what UPSC expects from an aspirant? Have you had a look at Pre 2020 paper? It can be taken as a watershed moment. If you feel you’re at the crossroads this is for you.

Talk to senior mentors from Civilsdaily : Click here and fill Samanvaya form for IAS 2021

The Prelims 2020 in many ways was a watershed moment for IAS aspirants. It shocked veterans and baffled the first-timers. If anything this paper has taught is that you need to adapt to the expectations of UPSC and adopt a new approach.

UPSC is changing. No more is it about isolating yourself and just doing current affairs, static, attending random classes, or reading a plethora of books. It’s time to bury the old ways for IAS preparation, for good.

We’ve had a discussion with around 2700 IAS aspirants (beginners and veterans) last month and all of them had doubts related to either sources and books or answer writing and even essays and interviews.

To borrow from the parable of ‘blind men and the elephant’ almost all of these aspirants were trying to make sense of UPSC but unable to look at the whole picture. You need to tackle that ‘elephant in the room’. Look at the holistic picture. First, understand what it stands for, what expectations do they have from you, then understand how to fulfill them, then plan and move forward.

Broadly, six factors determine your success in cracking this prestigious IAS exam and the most important being understanding the expectations of UPSC and according to that planning and strategizing; other being Learning – Knowledge and information; Analyzing – making linkages, connections, etc.; Executing and utilizing information; and Constant course correction – because mistakes are inevitable, need to rectify them asap.

But how to do that?

Failing to tackle any one of them, feeds into a vicious cycle. Without guidance or mentoring, understanding where the problem lies in and how to rectify it becomes problematic.
