Question : Can’t Speak English? Doesn’t Matter!

Answer :

• Talking in English is not necessary at all for an IAS Aspirant but if you speak English that would be an advantage for you only. In today's world of modern technology, if you can speak fluent English, it will be itself one step ahead from all.
• If you are not fluent in English, just go through the English books and reading thoroughly on daily basis. This will definitely improve your English.
• If you are giving IAS exam with Hindi medium, there is no need because basic English is the requirement.
• Also, if you have time to work on your English, do that. Skills are gained not for the purpose of an exam. An exam is nothing but a reason to acquire them. If you don't have time, then do not think about it and crack the exam without it. You will be fine either way. Many aspirants have cracked the exam by knowing their mother tongue. CSE will not punish you for not knowing English.
• Moreover, you can write this exam and give the interview in your mother-tongue. Buy a basicGrammar book – read it, listen to English news on TV and radio, try to write something in English, everyday (don’t worry if it is very bad, keep trying).
• You can also join some of the best coaching institutes for work on your syllabus whether in English or Hindi.
• Necessity should push you to learn. Push yourself. Win the race.
