For Mains Exam Your Goal is to master the methodology of producing an effective answer.
-
Use of Diagrams, rough Maps, Keywords, Quotations, genuine facts make your answer holistic and impressive.

Remember that all candidates who are appearing for Mains Exam have studied and consulted more or less the same textbooks and recommended sources. The main challenge is to draft your answer in such a way that it appears unique from other candidates.

So apart from reading textbooks, also focus on special panel discussions on platforms like RSTV where experts from different sectors come and present their opinions. You can note down their perspective, analyse it and then use it as per your need in your Answer Writing.
-
Read the question at least thrice before framing an answer for it. This is because UPSC has the tendency to play with words and it often uses tricky language to allure the candidates to go off the track while attempting the answer.
-
Make a short rough draft of all the points that you remember in one go, and then organize them in a synchronized manner while writing your answer.
-
Don’t panic. Sometimes the question may appear difficult to answer. In this case, attempt the answer logically and try to relate with some real-life examples. Remember that, it’s best to attempt an unknown question with a logical approach rather than skipping it.
