Srushti’s Strategy for Cracking UPSC Exam

Srushti told me the two main strategies that helped her succeed were consistency and test series. She preferred Online sources for learning. She closed her social media accounts and improve her learnings from the internet.

In her words, ‘Consistency is one of the main keys to crack any examination. Suppose you study five hours for one day, you need to be capable of doing that every single day for the rest of the whole year. You need to have self-discipline and persistently chase your goals till you achieve them.’

Her opinion about the test series is as follows: ‘Even though you may study for very long hours in a day, unless you take up a test, you will not know where you stand’. She had signed up for a few online test series that really helped her work to score more.

She relied largely on online resources for study material. The internet is a huge boon and one need not go to Delhi, Indore, or an institute for special coaching. She did not rely upon these.

She spent six to seven hours a day, studying hard by herself. To avoid distractions, she deactivated her accounts on all social media platforms.
