Go To APSC Interview – Tips, Question & Guidance (All you need to know)

 

STEP 3 –  Prelims Preparation

If Preparation started 9 – 12 months before expected APSC CC (Prelim) Exam

Start with the General Studies (GS) paper and CSAT paper for Prelim Exam. Initially, read thoroughly standard books (like NCERT books, Laxmikant etc.) and other details study materials so that it helps in both Prelims and Mains Exam, and try to finish the entire syllabus. Read and revise; read and revise as many times as time permits.

By this, before the Prelims Exam, you should have completed at least 40-50% of your Mains GS syllabus (It will be of immense help if the time gap between Prelims and Mains Exam is less).

CSAT paper is of qualifying nature and thus you should focus only enough to comfortably fetch you qualifying marks. Click to see APSC Prelims CSAT Preparation Strategy

If started 3-4 months before expected APSC CC (Prelim) Exam

  • Start your exclusively Prelim preparation for GS paper and CSAT paper.
  • Focus on either your notes or readymade materials which are very concise.
  • Try to cover the whole Prelims syllabus through must-read books and readymade concise materials.
  • Do NOT try to read all standard books available in the markets.
  • Read and revise as many times as time permits.

Join Adhikary Education’s APSC Prelims Test Series, if possible (highly recommended), as these will help in assessing your preparation level.

“The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining” – John F. Kennedy

For beginners, recommended basic Books for GS Paper I

Additional standard Books for GS Paper

  • Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth
  • Indian Economy by Ramesh Singh
  • India’s Struggle For Independence by Bipan Chandra

Books List for GS Paper II (CSAT)

  • Verbal & Non-Verbal Reasoning – R. S. Aggarwal
  • CSAT Paper – 2 Manual by TMH
  • Analytical Reasoning – M. K. Pandey

STEP 4 – Mains Preparation

Based on your attempts in Prelim, you think there is even a slight chance of clearing the Prelim, Immediately start Mains Exam Preparation.

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds that you plant.” – Robert Louis Stevenson


If you have started preparation 9 – 12 months before Prelim Exam, it’s very safe to assume that you should have completed at least 30-40% of your Mains GS syllabus. And now, you are left with 60% of GS paper and the optional of Mains Exam.

Normally, Time gap between APSC Prelims and Mains Exam is of 5-6 months, and the new GS section is very vast, no accordingly allocation more time for GS Papers and the optional subject of the Mains.


If you have started preparation only 3-5 months before Prelim Exam, then it can be assumed that you would have completed around 30-35% of your Mains GS syllabus.

Immediately after APSC Prelims Exam, start right there, don’t waste any time. Normally, Time gap between APSC Prelims and Mains Exam is of 5-6 months, and the new GS section is very vast, no accordingly allocation more time for GS Papers and the optional subject of the Mains.

Join some APSC Mains Test Series, if possible (highly recommended), online or offline, as these will improve your answer writing practice and helps in time management.


After APSC Mains Exam Schedule is out

Mains Exam schedule is released approximately one month before the start of the exam and afterward, you should make study plan and time allotment among the GS, English and the optional subjects, based on the exam date of each paper and how much to be covered.

STEP 5 –  Viva-voce (Interview) Preparation

Go to APSC Interview – Tips, Question & Guidance (All you need to know)

Interview is the phase where questions are asked without any syllabus and also it’s the place where you can show your specific skills and justify why you are best suited for the post.

Anyway, for an non-extra-ordinary interview session, try prepare answers for the following questions (remember, there is no syllabus and questions can come from anywhere, about anything)

  1. Know who you are? Including all you have done and gone through after you were born.
  2. Know Assam and it’s main problems, prospects (Political, Socio-economical, Geographic etc.)?
  3. Why you fought the ‘War of APSC Combined Competitive Exam’?
  4. Why want to join Assam Civil Service (or any specific service) and justify your suitability for the posts?

STEP 6 – Relax (Not exactly!)

See yourself achieving the cherished dream.

Let the Game begins….

Disclaimer: This is a plan best only by our perspective; it may NOT be suitable to many aspirants. Best plan is what you develop by having SWOT analysis of yourself.

 

“A deliberate plan is not always necessary for the highest art; it emerges.” ― Paul Johnson
