strategy also di ers but for the success in this examination,
the candidates have to undergo the same process and
pattern of the examination. So, even if the strategy will be
di erent the approach must be kept high.
One can clear the CGPSC Prelims in one shot.
Understanding concepts should be the rst priority because
mugging up neither helps in Prelims nor in Mains. So focus
should be on understanding the basics and wider coverage
rather than detailed studies and intensive coverage.

OUR SUGGESTIONS FOR EFFICIENT AND EFFECTIVE STUDY

For the preliminary exam Read standard book from Cover to Cover and keep your booklist short and simple.
Better to read one book for each topic thoroughly, than ip through multiple sources. Read carefully between the lines since
Prelims questions can be tricky, Prelims is all about 'identifying' the correct answer through selection or elimination.
For mains exam one should move forward from books to standard notes. The focus should be more on
understanding the concepts. Try to make synopsis of topics while making notes. Revision is the key for both prelims and
mains but most important aspect is continuous practicing of objective questions and regular answer writing.
