UPSC CSE: IAS officer T Prateek Rao scored one of the highest marks in the Essay paper of UPSC Mains. Here's his strategy.

Last few days before the UPSC CSE 2020 - what should you do? Newspaper, notes, mock paper, MCQ's, time-table, and more.

“Preparing for the UPSC exams can be stressful, and through it all, one must find ways to stay motivated. There will be moments when we lose focus, feel disarrayed, and even disoriented, but it’s important to find something that keeps you going.”

“It is also important that aspirants attempt as many mock tests as possible before the actual exam. This will not only help you brush up on your concepts but will evaluate yourself and revise accordingly.”

“We both have derived a lot of strength and support from each other,” she shares.

“The public perception that one requires many years of preparation to clear the examination has been proved wrong in our case. If we can do it, I can confidently say, so can you,” says Pankaj.

What Piyush realised through his interaction with the jawans was their unshakeable love for the country. “It is just pure love and a sense of deep respect for the motherland which keeps them going,” he shares.
