Every year, thousands of candidates possess sufficient knowledge to clear the Civil Services Examination. Yet many fail to get selected. Many fail to get their desired service. Many fail to get a top rank. Not because they lacked knowledge. But because they failed to maximise their marks in Essay (250 Marks).
These two papers often create the difference between:
Selection and Non-Selection
A few extra marks in essay paper can be the single deciding factor.
IAS and Other Services
Your service allocation is directly tied to your final rank.
A Good Rank and a Top Rank
Essay is often the biggest rank differentiators in Mains.
Missing the Final List and Securing a Place in It
Don't leave 250 marks to chance after years of hard work.
That is why Essay Paper often become the biggest rank differentiators in UPSC Mains.
