How to Develop Problem-Solving Attitude?

  • Possessing a problem-solving mindset is one of the best traits you can have as a civil servant as well as a UPSC CSE candidate.
  • Candidates for the civil services, much like the officers they will become after passing the Civil Services Examination, must handle a variety of issues and difficulties during the preparation phase and find creative solutions to them.
  • During your preparation phase, you may run across issues dealing with a lengthy syllabus, time management, resources, peer pressure, societal pressure, and many more.
  • While you deal with all these issues, you tend to develop, gradually, the required understanding and ability to dissect and analyse. This will form the foundation of a problem-solving attitude in you.
  • Your propensity for problem-solving will be particularly helpful in creating solutions during such trying circumstances. You will develop a never-give-up mentality toward issues as a result.
