It is going to be off my head and heart in a couple of days. I have been pestering my brother, ever since the summer of 2005, to share the ways that made him the most successful candidate as per the results of the IAS Exams that year. He is a voracious reader. After four-plus years...he has become a writer at last. In the process I too have written a lot. Our book "Topper's Tips" will be waiting for you in the stands in another 4-5 days. Unique Publications, Delhi is doing the job of making our tips reach the needy aspirants in the best form at Rs.95. It is a small-sized book with about 100 pages.
Some background: The IAS Exam is considered to be the toughest and the most tiring exam in the country. Though this Exam does not test one's quantitative skills and analytical bent of mind as good as the CAT does, IAS Exam is a nightmare for the sheer volume and variety of the subjects to be mastered; and the unimaginably long duration of the selection cycle that spans over a year with three stages - an objective Prelim, a subjective and unnerving Main and finally topped up by a Personality Test. Well, I can go on about the exams for dozens of more lines. Cutting it short, it becomes very essential for an aspirant to be armed with good guidance to wade this Exam. We felt we could and we need to help here.
Anyone who is even remotely related with this Exams would agree that right guidance, especially from candidates who have cleared the Exam, is not easily available in a systematic way. Rather, there are thousands of "free advices" and "glorious myths" that end up confusing and spoiling the efforts of thousands of genuine candidates every year.
Topper's Tips is an attempt to clear the myths and share our wisdom acquired over a period of about ten years. Yes, ten years. My brother started with the Prelims 2000, I ended it with the Interview 2009. Luckily we both have cleared the Exam. We sincerely hope this book will be much help to many; and sincere candidates can avoid wasting years in reinventing the wheel.
We have tried to keep the language as simple as possible. We have also put in very practical insights. We hope it is going to be useful. If you happen to come across a copy in the coming weeks, please feel free to write to us.Thanks!
Our sincere thanks to all who made this book possible.
Fingers crossed!
