Great to see the enthusiasm :) Just one thing I would want to say - Guys, don't pick any new source in the last moment. Trust me, in past 10 years it has never happened that someone has picked up a final compilation and all questions have come from there.

Focus of Previous Years Papers, Books and Whatever Test Series / Papers you are doing.  In the end we have to revise such that we are turning the pages only. 

While having food, turn the pages of PYQs with the confidence that you know everything. And by 20th also revise your CSAT PY Questions and resolve the questions.

P.S. This is the last moment.

Hyy!  I am 2019 graduate. 

Can anyone pls give perspective that should I study for bihar psc or not.  Or prepare for mains 2021. 

2020 was my first attempt.  I was on border. Should I focus on mains 2021 or bihar psc 

@Neyawn Sir.  Pls guide 

Prepare wholistically for a year. There has been a lot of alignment of syllabus. Try for Civils whole heartedly before going for state PCS. Do not jump into the habit of writing exam “just to check out and get a feel”. Preparation is a bit more important than writing the exam. 

Also please note that the guy who has secured Rank 1  in Bihar PCS appeared for Interview in first attempt in Civils just like that, then didn’t clear prelims and state PCs exams in a row. For like 4 years. Then came back and prepared for 1 year in delhi before his sixth attempt like a fresher sitting with freshers. Got Rank 1 in BPSC. Now writing IFoS Mains. 

Please refer to this answer. You will get a perspective as to what to do and how to do




Btw if you have missed Prelims cut off by a whisker it is a good start. Focus on mains if possible the. Focus on prelims when the time comes. Don’t take prelims lightly and give it at least 4 months
