 STRATEGIES FOR BEGINNERS
This is an attempt to awaken the beginners to the ideas which are crucial in the preparation
for Civil Services Examination.

In fact we intend to focus upon some practical realities of the preparation. Much has been
written on how to prepare for the Civil Service Examination but little attention has been
given to the fundamental facets of preparation in the beginning.

The beginners have varied perceptions about the preparation and a good number of them
are not aware of the realities of the same. They begin but on wrong lines, they go astray
and meet failures in initial attempts. It takes them a year or years to be conscious of the
realities and that too, at the cost of some attempts. Some take attempts without
preparation just to gain some experiences because they do not have a good guide to
suggest them that attempts are precious and must not be wasted this way. This article has
relevance in the above-mentioned context.

All the beginners have a great problem when they embark upon the preparation
that is how to begin. We provide you step-by-step guidelines as regards how to go
in for the preparation for the Civil Services Examination.

1. Go through the syllabus of the optional subjects — consider five things in selection of
optional subjects.
i. The Subject interests you
ii. You have familiarity or background
iii. Subjects (two optional subjects) have common areas
iv. Subjects help you in General Studies
v. You get proper guidance for them (the most important)

2. Buy the booklets containing previous years' questions of those subjects, both compulsory
and optional, and go through them. Proper idea of the questions will also help you decide
optional subjects.

3. After doing all these you come to know all about the examination, the subjects, the
nature of questions and of course what you have to study. This way you take the first step
in the direction of preparation which is very significant.

4. Study on the basis of the syllabus and previous years' questions. Just do not finish topics,
as this is eventually meaningless and make sure that study enables you to write good and
standard answers. This is essence of preparation.

5. Practice writing answers. Create answer formats of typical questions.

HOW TO SELECT OPTIONAL SUBJECTS

New aspirants are usually in a dilemma in selecting the optional subjects. After embarking
upon the preparation, this state of dilemma is quite natural as well. Impact of mixed
opinions like opinion on the part of the friends, seniors, teachers, coaching institute etc
bewilder them and they are not in a position to take a right decision. Above-mentioned
opinions are at times influenced by individual outlook, at times by wrong perception, at
times by personal experiences, at times by prejudice or bias and at times by vested
interests.

We are presenting some of these opinions which new aspirants come across and
which do not have any rational basis. We are presenting the explanation and the
rational basis related to such opinions as well.

1. Some subjects are very lengthy and their preparation takes a lot of time. The truth is
that the syllabus of almost all subjects is equally vast and comprehensive. FPSC does not
discriminate among subjects. The commission has determined a standard for each subject
and has incorporated all important topics into the syllabus of each subject. All popular
subjects selected by the candidates like History, Sociology, Geography, Public
Administration, Political Science etc. have comprehensive syllabus.

2. Two such subjects (having lengthy syllabus) should not be chosen like History & Political
Science, Geography & Psychology, History and Geography The rational view is that there
are other criteria to select the optional subjects for the syllabus of almost all subjects are
lengthy.

3. Some subjects are more scoring like Sociology and Journalism or some are not like
Sciences and Literatures. The truth is that the Commission / Examiner does not discriminate
among subjects in giving marks. Fetching of good marks solely depends upon one's
performance, not the subject. One can get good marks in any subject. The results of the
Civil Services Examination every year too establish the same fact. The only rational criteria
for the subjects being more scoring or less scoring are the stream they are associated with.
Subjects associated with science may be more scoring than those of humanities because of
greater objectivity. Likewise subjects from humanities may be more scoring than literature.

4. One should not opt for subjects like Commerce & Accountancy, Economics, etc. because
candidates do not get marks in these subjects or candidates do not qualify with these
subjects. The truth is that one can opt for any subject, provided one fulfills certain criteria.
Basis of selection is not subject rather performance in a particular subject.

5. One should give a serious thought to the selection of the optional subjects. A wrong
decision in the beginning might prove an obstacle in one's success. There are a good
number of candidates who were capable of qualifying but only because of wrong selection of
the optional subjects they eventually failed. Optional subjects play a decisive and crucial
role in qualifying Examinations. Don't be in a hurry in selection, consider properly and give
time to it.

There are certain rational criteria for selecting the optional subjects. We are
putting them forward in point form.

1. Every subject is good.

2. The syllabus of almost every subject is equally lengthy and demand equal amount of
labour.
3. The syllabus of all popular subjects like History, Geography, Political Science etc. are
equally vast.
4. One can get satisfactory level of marks (required to make one successful) in all subjects
through proper guidance and adequate labour.
5. One may take into consideration one's interests in the subject but this is not important.
Success of many candidates has proved it.
6. One might take into consideration one's background in the subject.
7. One might take into consideration the similarities of topics of subjects for example
History and Political Science, Commerce & Accountancy and Public Administration etc. This
lessens the burden of the candidates. This is an important criterion.
8. Go through the syllabus and previous years' questions of the subjects, you are
considering opting.
9. One might take into consideration the fact that to what extent the optional subjects help
a candidate in General Studies. Subjects like History, Public Administration, Political Science
etc. play significant role in this context.
10. The most important criteria is the guidance one gets in the subjects. Guidance makes
subject / subjects easy and enables candidates to write standard answers. Experiences of a
large number of candidates have established the truth that any subject is a good subject
provided one gets a good guidance for that subject. A good guidance does not mean
teaching of topics, rather teaching in such a way so that one comprehends all the topics,
one has adequate and quality content and more significantly one is in a position to write
good & standard answers - which is the essence of the preparations.

HOW TO PREPARE
