• *Advice for candidates who are sure of clearing prelims & those on the borderline* : The period of the next 80 days is the most crucial time of your preparation. So, don't wait for prelims-result. The need of this hour is to make your focus input centric instead of worrying about results. You can complete the remaining portions of the syllabus (like ethics, optional etc.) in the next 10-12 days. Make the best use of each & every second of this crucial phase. Just start the preparation for the mains asap. Do hard work + Smart Work equally. If you're not in this time, then it's okay.. stay motivated, your ultimate aim is to make it onto the list & to join the civil services. If you get yourself fully indulged in Mains preparation, then believe me - your hardwork will not go in vain. It will definitely pay you in the end. Wishing you all the very best & we are waiting to celebrate your success with us.
