Why you should join Integrated Programme
Preparing
for civil services exam is one of the most challenging and rewarding
endeavours in India. The exam consists of three stages: Preliminary,
Main, and Interview and took almost one and half year time as Prelims
exam in May/June then Mains in September and followed by Interviews in
February/March and final result comes May.
Hence civil services exam preparation requires a lot of hard work, dedication, perseverance, and strategy. The
syllabus is vast and covers a wide range of topics, such as history,
geography, polity, economy, science, environment, current affairs,
ethics, etc. The candidates have to read and revise multiple
sources of information, such as NCERT books, standard reference books,
newspapers, magazines, reports, etc. They also have to practice
writing answers, essays, and summaries in a clear, concise, and
coherent manner. They have to develop their analytical, logical, and
critical thinking skills, as well as their communication and
interpersonal skills. They have to manage their time, stress, and
emotions effectively, and cope with the pressure and uncertainty of the
exam.
If above
process is executed in silos like 'my strategy and plan for GS' and
strategy and plan for Optional and Essay it will be duplication of work
and decreases your efficiency.
With our unique Integrated GS plus PSIR integrated programme you can maximise your concentrated effort into success.
