Forum IAS - Top ten qualities that every IAS applicant should possess

TOP TEN QUALITIES THAT EVERY IAS APPLICANT SHOULD
POSSESS
2
Whether or not you are studying for the IAS
examination, there are some character attributes
that you should replicate in your daily life. You
should make an effort not to allow your flaws to
impact your job or others around you. It's really
challenging, but not impossible. As you begin
your UPSC preparation journey, you will notice
several changes in your personality as time
passes. The test is frequently a route of
self-discovery, not only about being highly
competitive, reading, and studying. Forum IAS
has compiled a list of attributes that I believe
are critical to developing as an IAS candidate.
However, it is a highly subjective affair.

1. Physical Fitness Your health is your most
valuable asset while you prepare for the IAS
test. As a result, make an effort to develop
healthy behaviors. The two most crucial factors
that will keep you healthy and give you the
stamina to work regularly toward your goal are
good eating and enough exercise.

2. Honesty Be truthful to yourself. You're
studying for the UPSC Civil Services Exam, and
you're well aware that the road ahead is long and
winding. It won't help you if you aren't at ease
or aren't prepared out of your own volition and
interest. As a result, strive to be truthful to
yourself. In reality, if you aren't honest with
yourself, you won't be able to pass this exam,
since every test will reveal your weaknesses, and
if you aren't honest with yourself, you will
disregard this warning sign, and it will finally
catch up with you. Again, if you want to help the
people and address their issues as an IAS
officer, this is a skill that you cannot
overlook.

3. The ability to write The Mains test, as you
are aware, is the ultimate obstacle, and it is a
subjective exam. You must write your response to
show that you understand the questions. As a
result, improving your writing skills is critical
to your IAS success. And writing ability is not
something that is inherited. Daily practice will
help you perfect the skill. Forum IAS pays
attention to it.

4. Inquisitiveness is a quality that many people
possess. You must be curious about the present
trend of analytical questions in UPSC exams. By
curious, I mean that you must be willing to learn
more about any issue that comes up throughout
your preparation. For example, if you read about
the South China dispute in the media, you should
look it up on the internet to learn more about
the history of the conflict, its geopolitical
implications, and so on. In the present climate,
simply reading the newspaper will not be enough.

5. Commitment You should practice on a regular
basis if you want to win the marathon race on
race day. The UPSC test preparation is similar to
a marathon race (Prelims, Mains, and Interview),
and in order to succeed, you must practice
diligently on a regular basis. It is never easy
to achieve success you must work hard for it.
Forum IAS will help you to do so

6. Grasping Strength You should work on
improving your grasping ability. Whatever subject
you're studying, you should be able to grasp the
concepts fast while also knowing how to apply
what you've learned throughout the examination.
The question is, how will you improve your
grasping ability? Though it may sound trite,
meditation undoubtedly helps. Other than that,
even a half-hour of physical exercise will help
you strengthen your grabbing capacity.

7. Communication Ability This is another vital
skill that can benefit you not only as an IAS
officer but in general. You may achieve great
things if you have strong communication skills.
Just don't dismiss it if you know you have
problems speaking in front of groups or
presenting your thoughts effectively, work on it.
After all, you'll be the one who regrets it the
most if you pass the mains and your communication
skills become a roadblock in your career.

8. Read, read, read. I cannot emphasize enough
how important it is for an IAS applicant to like
reading, and I am not referring to the subject
topic. On the internet, there is a plethora of
novels, publications, and entertainment. Set
aside some time to read on related topics rather
than ordinary novels. Reading a lot can help you
get a new viewpoint, increase your analytical
abilities, improve your language, and equip you
with enough information to handle the GS and
Essay Paper.
11
9. Perseverance UPSC preparation is one of the
most difficult paths to pursue, and you are bold
to take it on. Even if you wish to pass the test
on your first try, it will take you almost a year
to study and another year to finish the exam
(Prelims, Mains and Interview). You will have to
retake this test from the beginning, i.e.
prelims, if you pass prelims but fail to pass
mains or the other way around, or if you fail the
interview. As a result, you should have the
patience and capacity to study for the IAS test
for three to five years without losing interest.

10. Confidence in Oneself First Before the
rest of the world believes you, believe in
yourself. If you believe in yourself, you can do
anything. You can crack UPSC under the mentorship
of our experienced teachers of Forum IAS.
