Re: Tips to Clear IES Exam in 1st Attempt
As you asked about some tips to clear IES exam in 1st attempt, I am mentioning some of them below Go over the syllabus and select important subjects: You should have a very strong idea of the syllabus. Identify the subjects which carry the majority marks, start preparing with the ones that carry the highest marks Solve Past year questions: The most important measure you need to take. This guarantees you have an idea of what you need to know, what you already know, and identify the pockets where you need to work on. Set your own targets and limits: Accurately note down the subject/chapter/topic you intend to study in say a week/day. Test yourself to meet the set target within the decided deadline. This will ensure you have a steady pace while preparing. Get a study mate: I am not a big fan of Group studies: they produce more noise than results, but having a study mate can occasionally be helpful. You can monitor each other’s' progress, discuss doubts, create a healthy constructive competition between each other. Make thorough, well thought of, clean notes: They are very helpful while last minute revision. Join a test series/ coaching centre if possible. Do not freak out if you cannot. For English and GS, solve past years' questions from IES, IFS, NDA examinations. Remember that they carry only 200 marks while the technical part is of 800 marks- your priority should always be to get the technical part straight first. Here are some books that you can use for the preparation: Arihant Publication - General Studies Upkar Publication - General Studies RPH Editorials Made Easy Publishers Disha Publication - Disha Experts RS Agrawal GK Publication Lucent Publication - General Studies The Hindu - Daily New Paper for Current Affairs Economic Times Economic Survey Chronicle Magazine |
