What to Think When You Think About The UPSC-CSE
Do you find the idea of working as a bureaucrat and serving the country fascinating? Each year, between 1,000,000 to 12,000,000 individuals apply for the UPSC-CSE exam. The number goes up to 14,000,000 in certain years. Only 10,000 to 15,000 of those students pass the first stage (Prelims).
What distinguishes the chosen applicants from the rest? Their attention to planning, diligence and execution. It’s worth thinking on the following lines:
-
BUILD THE FOUNDATION
- Understand The Exam: Through the latest CSE Notification
- Understand The Syllabus: Mentioned in the CSE Notification
- Plan: It’s All In The Finer Details
-

Choose a good set of resource materials for the Static and Current sections of the syllabus and stick to them. RICE IAS offers the best set of printed notes and class handouts along with the monthly current affairs. The RICE IAS library is well-stocked with the books you need to refer to.
