Question : Develop Problem-Solving Attitude

Answer :

  • One of the best qualities that you will need not only as an UPSC CSE aspirant but also as an IAS officer is that of a problem-solving attitude. UPSC aspirants much like the officer they will become after clearing the Civil Services Examination, need to address a host of problems and challenges in the preparatory phase and overcome them using innovative techniques. You may encounter problems of dealing with an extensive syllabus, time management, resources, peer pressure, societal pressure and many others during your IAS preparation phase. In such testing times, your problem-solving attitude will come in very handy to design solutions. Therefore, IAS aspirants should develop a never-say-die attitude towards problems.
