Study Planner for Working professionals

Civil service still the major attraction and an brilliant option to all those who wants to serve society with any educational background.
Even after having the best paid jobs will not let students stop dreaming about Civils...
But a major problem how to keep up the pace of studies while working, here are some small tips from my side. Hope it will help you in some way.


Usually the Preliminary exam will be in the month of May to June and Mains in month of Oct or Nov
Lets start from Prelims stage: In any case its good if prepare from both prelims and mains point of view.
suppose you Start preparation from the month of Sep say ...

• Choose the subjects based on your own thoughts not on others opinion.
• Surf the net or collect info on what books to Read
• Don't forget to buy at least one competitive Magazine, Civil Service chronicle the best one and may be for Karnataka or Kannada students Sparda chaitra or Sparda Spoorthi easily available in market.
• Purchase Map book and subscribe to Yojana and Kurukshetra
• Read news paper during Lunch or tea break in office. After coming home its tough to read the big books, may be you can go through the question papers of previous years and familiarize yourself with the type of questions asked, in some time you can easily guess the important areas of asked questions.
• During Weekends or on Holidays Make sure you are at least reading the NCERT or basic books.
• Go through the world map and Indian map try to understand the river systems and different imp places in world map.
• In free time surf net for National and state issues on various administrative points and Education related and environment related things.
• Practice this till end of November. From December no compromise on regular minimum 4 hrs of study, and on weekends and holidays 8 hrs Must.
• Once your thorough with the basics, then start reading the reference books.

Remember there is no substitute to Reference books and your hard work, None of the coaching classes can provide that.

There are lot of people in rural area who have cleared exams with good results just with the help of Books.
Remember the lines if one has done it, it means that you can also do it. and if none has done it , it only means that YOU MUST DO IT.

Don't worry if your finance is not good enough to join classes or not able to join due to time constraints, Even in coaching they will read from books and teach you. That you can very well do it by yourself just by spending more time. Collect as much as info before December for studying and then start studying full fledged from December.

I have been seeing lot of people saying not able to spend time as we are working. I understand as i had faced same problem. But do we have an option, to succeed  we must work hard rite?
If you have Joined the classes, Don't just to think we know lot of things (am not criticising), its a fact that we think that i know something which is better than my previous state,actually we are wrong, just see the Mains Question paper and Judge yourself.

Well I can say this much , am also a learner, Study well. You can also give me some more tips for studies.

All the best
