In this video, Shivali Thakur, AIR 52 (R) UPSC ’24, explains that UPSC preparation should be structured, phase-wise, and focused on exam demand rather than endless studying. She advises first building strong core concepts from standard books without making bulky notes, then using previous year questions to identify important recurring themes and prepare selective notes. The next step is improving Mains answer writing through proper structure, value addition, and better presentation. Closer to Prelims, focus should shift to PYQ-based MCQ practice and elimination techniques. Finally, the interview stage requires balanced opinions and honesty. Her key message is that UPSC is cleared through smart strategy, revision, and practice—not by studying everything.
