Akshat Jain Rank - 2

Strategy

His first attempt at the Civil Service Examination was a month after he graduated in 2017. While Akshat could not clear the attempt, he says it was a great learning experience for him.

He was not in touch with the subjects since 7-8 years, so Akshat had to start from the basics. He first began by reading NCERTs. These books are lucidly written and provide a foundation for any subject. "It is important to know how much to read and from where to read."

UPSC CSE prelims: Mock tests are important For civil services prelims, said Akshat, appearing for tests helped too. "He also attempted for several mock tests. His focus was not to just attempt it correctly but the mock tests also helped him to know about new topics. All the topics that were asked in the exam, he used to read that if he had read about it earlier then it gave him a revision and if he had not then he studied about it,"
