Preparing for UPSC and UPPCS is a long journey that requires patience, consistency, and the right strategy. Many aspirants work hard, but they still fail because of common mistakes that slow down their progress. The biggest mistake is starting preparation without understanding the complete syllabus. Without knowing what to read and what not to read, students waste unnecessary time on irrelevant topics.
Another common issue is switching multiple books and study materials. Using too many sources creates confusion and reduces clarity. Sticking to limited but high-quality books helps build strong concepts. Many aspirants also ignore NCERTs, which are the foundation of both UPSC and UPPCS.
Lack of revision is another major reason for failure. Even if you study for hours, without revision you will forget most of the concepts. Aspirants also delay solving previous years’ papers, which affects their exam confidence and question-solving ability.
