How to Prepare for CSE along with Job?

Many IAS aspirants prepare for the test while working. There are many convincing stories of successful competitors passing the test while still working a regular job. You too can carry it out. Here are a few suggestions that may help you achieve your goal if you're unsure of how to prepare while working:

• Time Management: The most important thing to understand is that time is the scarcest and most precious resource you have. You must make judicious use of time at your disposal. Make a detailed strategy and avoid any wastage of time.
• Stick to a routine: Stay away from anything that saps your energy and wastes your time. Make the most of your commuting time to work. If you're taking public transportation, you can read a newspaper or listen to audiobooks and digital broadcasts.
• Use your opportunities wisely: Avoid taking too many leaves because you could need them during the examinations.
• Defining Objectives: Set day-by-day, week-by-week, and month-to-month goals after organising your time. Put a plan in place to achieve these goals. As you don't have the advantage of sitting around idly, never waver in accomplishing your objectives. Frequently accomplishing these small goals will boost confidence and trust in your readiness. Here, don't compare your objectives with that of others.
• Resources: You may have some anxiety while you work over finding quality resources. All the information needed for CSE planning is now available online. The standard text books are available throughout India. You can purchase the required study materials.
• Online Tests/Postal Tests: The most important step in preparing for a test is planning, and the next is testing the plan. Since you are short on time, it is advised that you register for an online IAS test programme and assess your preparation. You can also choose postal exams, which provide you with test papers to attempt. These mock-test arrangements will help you identify your strengths and also your weak areas.
• Motivation and Resilience: Be self-motivated and keep on treading with a positive attitude.
