UPSC Exams preparation

This blog was created to share resources with aspirants appearing for examinations conducted by UPSC, especially those meant for Civil Services, Engineering Services and Forest Services. Most of the content on preparation for the exams found here was posted before the result came out and thus, is devoid of boastfulness that creeps in on being successful. I hope aspirants find what they are looking for, in the posts that emanate from links below.

As there is much more to learn and to share, new tabs and posts are in order, but without disturbing the exam material.

Many who enter the arena of Civil Services exam preparation think about the need for coaching classes and the much elusive first attempt crack. My take on it :
On coaching and first attempts

In times of self doubt and frustration, the will to continue comes from within.

Reading newspaper is essential to preparing for this exam and also something that requires some skill to extract the relevant and useful.
