Prcis Writing: Writing a prcis means making an intelligent summary of

a long passage. To write a prcis one should have a clear understanding of
the passage: only then one is able to include all the essential points, tips
and tricks of essay examples in the prcis.

Some general considerations:

1. Learn to shorten your words, text of written work, useful writing tips,
essential thoughts, ideas or fact.

IBPS RRB 2014

2. It is generally accepted that a prcis should be a third of the passage

given. If the original passage has 300 words, the prcis should not be

more than 110 words in length.

3. A prcis should be in the language of the prcis-writer. The original

passage is not to be reduced in length by just removing unimportant or

unnecessary sentences and by reproducing the rest as the prcis. It

4. A prcis should be full i.e. it should contain all the essential thoughts,
ideas or fact in the original passage. It should not contain repetitions or
observations that are not relevant to the main theme of the original.
5. A prcis is always written in Reported Speech. The passage given may
be a speech made by a person in Direct Speech, but the prcis is to be in
Reported Speech or the Third Person or in the Past tense.

lead sentence will help you to see the subject clearly. It will also help you
to think of a title.
Now comes the process of selection. The writer of the prcis writing
passages has to decide what facts or ideas in the passage are essential
and what are of secondary or no importance. Taking the main ideas of the
passages as your point of reference, it should not be too difficult to write
out the important points in the original in a corner of your writing work
sheet.
