Why do you need to prepare for GPSC Exam?

When we are talking about jobs, we always think about job security, pay, services and growth.

Job security:-

If you are doing a job then you must know how the private sector works with employees. When we are asking for promotions and pay rise they either fire us from the job or sometimes we give resigns.

But in the government sector, you get promoted, and pay rises ( yea after quite a long time) but you will. If you are doing your work properly then no one can fire you from your job.

Social Impact:-

One of my friends gets married just after getting his government job (haha). Apart from jocks, you will archive great respect from people around you.

Pay:-

In the beginning, when you start your job, your pay will be medium in some sectors. because they just want to check your ability to work well. and, once you clear that time frame you got promoted with really decent pay.

Apart from this, there are many benefits. But this is enough to start preparing for the GPSC exam.

Things you need to prepare GPSC exam.

One high-tech phone and laptop, one expensive coaching class, and too many books by different authors and friends. These things are senseless.

Good guidance

While preparing for any exam guidance is important from a person who already goes through it. So I think this is the most important thing which is required for preparation.

Authentic material

Just imagine you answer one question in the exam after reading from the book and then you know that the answer is wrong. Not in your exam, in your book.

So authentic material is very important as it’s base of your exam preparation.

If you need suggestions about books or anything you can contact me via email or comment below.

Coaching class

Coaching class is required for just guidance only but you need to prepare it by yourself.

It is a debatable question for the people like you should join or not.

Time & efforts

You must have enough time to prepare for the exam. Because 2 or 3 hours of reading will help you to give exams after 3 to 5 years. So effort and time are very important.

The important roadmap to prepare for the GPSC exam.

Know the exam & syllabus

We always start reading by just reading the syllabus and subjects. But, before that, we have to read and understand the exam and syllabus, what the actual exam is about and what we have to give to pass the exam.

Sometimes the exam is so simple but we made it hard by reading non-important subjects.

Collect and list resources and books

Once you read and understand your syllabus, you will know which subjects are important and which are not. So you have to collect material for all required subjects so you don’t have a reason that “ I don’t have this book so I can’t read this subject “.

Make sure that all material is in hard copy. Which will help you to stay concentrated.

Create study plan

Now you have books, you know what to read and you can start reading. But without a target, you can’t archive anything.

Don’t decide hours in your study plan. Because it will interrupt our studies. Your focus will be on finishing subjects not on understanding subjects.

And prepare one hard and one easy subject at one time.

Make or follow reading strategies

You should follow some fixed reading techniques like Pomodoro or create your own. So you can make a habit of reading. And once you will develop habits your study will do automatically.

Mock test

This step is so important because you can evaluate yourself by this and you will get answers like

How many subjects are clear
Which subject or topic is weak
How you will perform in the exam
Etc

Important one you will need, during preparation.

Motivation. The most important thing that you will need during your preparation. Because at every step you will realise that this exam is not for you, so let’s quiet.

So you should have one solid reason, why you are preparing for.

It may be to feel your parents proud, maybe you have financial issues, maybe social status etc.
