Essay Strategy by Namrata Choubey AIR 73 UPSC CSE 2021

Namrata Choubey AIR 73 UPSC CSE 2021 Essay Paper is the first and one of the most interesting papers in the CSE Mains Examination. Along with the diversity of the topics, it gives the aspirants an opportunity to express their creative ideas in around 1200 words.    Apart from being a scoring paper (if one has command over it), writing good essays in the first paper of the mains exam cycle can also help in boosting confidence for subsequent GS papers. Writing good essays is a challenging task, especially for those who are new in the preparation. In recent years, the Essay paper is becoming more and more challenging due to inclusion of Philosophical topics, which most candidates face difficulty with.

I looked at Essay paper as an opportunity to boost my marks and tried to prepare for diversity of ...

Optional - I was willing to take coaching for optional as I was advised that it requires greater depth. I even contacted few institutes, but either the course timing was not suiting me, whereas at some other places I received a rather dull response. So I decided I should prepare it on my own, ofc through help from internet. My suggesti...
