IFS officer Himanshu Tyagi has shared a few tips on the social media site ‘X’ to crack the UPSC Prelims 2024.
A 2020-batch IFS officer, Tyagi cleared the UPSC IFS exam in his second attempt with AIR 25.
He said Prelims are the “most unpredictable and difficult stage” of the UPSC exam.
“So, work hard now. 5.5 months left. Focus on prelim prep if you haven’t cleared it yet. Tricks play an important role in prelims. Without them, it is impossible to crack prelims. Tricks would work only if your basics are strong. So, read as much as you can so that your tricks can work,” he wrote.
He also added, “Start solving mock tests and determine your own optimum no. Solve as many mock tests as possible. See what works for you, and what does not. Make your own strategy. No spoonfeeding. Solve an MCQ, and learn all associated concepts. Make notes. Revise them at proper intervals.”
Talking about his success mantra, the IFS officer wrote, “Prelims success = Good knowledge base + Logical reasoning skills + Tricks + Confidence + LUCK… Everything is in your control except luck. So, work hard on what is in your control.”
