Hi Aspirant,

Yes friend, you can do the preparation of civil service without taking coaching classes, but you need to work very hard for the preparation.

You should have clear all the topics.

Friend you can also join the coaching institute for a short while to get proper direction and clear doubt.

This will be much helpful for you. As you know Civil service exam is the toughest exam of India.

Civil service exam is conducted for the most reputed job of India like IAS, IPS or IRS.

So you have just need of very hard work of the preparation.

First I mention the syllabus of Civil service exam

Preliminary exam ( 400 marks)


CSE prelims.JPG




Mains exam ( 2300 marks)

In preliminary exam you will have to do the study of GS, Quantitative aptitude and verbal or non-verbal reasoning.

So for the preparation of GS section you should read newspaper daily and listen news and makes notes of them.

You can also gather the data of GS from competitive magazine like pratiyogita darpan.

In mains exam you will have to choose two optional subject and there is 9 paper in mains exam including essay paper.

For the preparation of essay you should do writing practice and enhance your writing skill.

Study with reference books and go through deep study.

Practice previous year model question paper to know exam pattern.

Best of Luck�

If you don�t join a class

#1: don�t feel guilty
#2: Self control
#3: Company

These points are well explained below.
If you don�t join a class

That is- you�re doing self preparation.
#1: don�t feel guilty

• First of all, throw away any doubt, guilt or inferiority complex that you have e.g.�I�m not going to Delhi so my success chances are less.�
• Don�t think in that manner. please avoid company of people who�re thinking in that manner. Because negative vibes are infectious. It creates demotivation and affects your studies.
• And once you�ve decided, then don�t doubt your decision or caliber.
• Success is very much possible, without coaching.

#2: Self control

• If you goto gym, you see other people are doing more exercise, and got better body than yours. It automatically motivates you to do exercise further.
• But if you�re at home, it is easy to lose track, and become complacent about preparation e.g. koi nai, thik hai, there are still many months left before the exam, I�ll �manage�
• Sorry you can�t manage. Weeks and months will pass like this and just 30 days before the exam, you�ll realize that you haven�t really prepared much throughout the year. Then you start looking for shortcuts i.e. readymade current affairs material etc. = #epicfail.
• Don�t let your mood dictate your studies. Spend majority of your day with books, magazines and newspapers only. (if you�re not a working professional).

#3: Company

• Make a few friends from the field, either in real life or on internet. Peer pressure helps in keeping the �tempo� and motivation for studies.
• More time Management tips are given separately in the later part of this article.

I hope the coaching doubt is clear.
