Uttarakhand PCS Mains initiative

This is a Free initiative where your participation and answer writing practice(a way of contribution) will be help full to all UK PCS mains candidate.we will review the answers written by candidates and will give feedback and one best answer out of all will be posted.

It has been long journey from advertisement of ukpcs exam  to  pre result and then  waiting for mains exam.mains exam was supposed to be happen in may , 2015, but due to a case in high court wrt  rajya andolankari ,it could not happen till date.Now Uttarakhand government has passed bill regarding reservation .So chances of conduction of exam by ukpsc seems reality (we have to wait for time table) .

when we interacted with  numbers of candidates,we heard their problems regarding vast syllabus of UKPSC mains exam,we identified few key problems

Voluminous syllabus (nearly 20 pages). everything related to subject matter has been written in syllabus(seems just  copy & paste from various competative books,but ensured that nothing should be left otherwise “Log kya kahenge ki ukpsc ne kam syllabus diya hai”) .
Is everything that is written in syllabus should be prepared as they again made tough provision through variety of questions (2marker,5marker.8marker,16 marker) .they tried to ensure that you could not think to left any topic( anyatha itana bada syllabus dena ka fayada kya hoga?)
How to prepare uttarakhand related topic?they have ensured sufficient syllabus of uttarakhand  in each paper.there is no comprehensive book.by seeing uttarakhand material in Pariksha vani/winsar, “aisa lagata hai ki isase kuchh nahi hoga ,aur kya read kiya jaye”People are suggesting various books for different topic.(we will provide strategy for this).
Various topic in polity paper, economy paper, science and technology are not given in conventional book.what and from where it should be prepared.
How to MANAGE TIME  to answer all questions.
What type of current affairs should be prepared?

such a vast syllabus has been described by UKPSC for mains that a student not prepared very well will feel that  hamse na hoga itna. ukpsc has prescribe every minute aspect of topic so that you can not leave any part of syllabus(That means you have not to read any thing extra beyond syllabus).strictly follow the  the syllabus.

we are here to  make  small contribution with respect to how you simply and exactly deliver whatever you know.every one knows how much is important to do the writing practice. Since uk psc is conducting mains exam in this format (allGS) first time so every one is bothered what level/type  question paper they will ask.This is sure that they will not ask question at par UPSC .

Their questions will be a mixed bag of simple,moderate and some good question like upsc/ias exam. second challenge will be completion of paper within time.if you have practised  many good questions during your preparation stage ,you can easily manage the time,quality of answer in those three hours.

Strategy for Preparation:

  • First of all read the syllabus carefully.
  • Identify your strong and weak areas.identify what you can write easily,on what you can write littlebit and where you can write nothing.
  • Prepare the list of topics that you feel you does not have sufficient material ,search in google for basic (donot search for Ph.D) so that you can write upto 250 words.
  • Read basic uttarakhand state information ( geography , economy,history)
  • Think what can ukpsc  ask,how will you respond.
  • Read old papers of OPTIONAL subjects of  UKPSC to have various dimension and depth of question level that can be asked .
  • Revise static part regularly and do writing practice in time bound manner.
  • Learn to write same question in 20 words,50 words,125words and 250 words.
  • Do not be panic to prepare very much about uttarakhand special.Avoid reading any special book for uttarakhand history or geography at this moment.Read Pariksha vani many times and have factual information so that you can use it as per your requirement.

Why one should not read special book for uttarakhand?

From Pariksha vani you can easily answer 2 marker and 5 markers.in case of 125 word/250 word you have to attempt 5 questions out of 7 question.if you have prepared whole syllabus clearly ,you can easily avoid uttarakhand related question. uttarakhand related big question can not be more than 2 /3 questions in section C /D. even in case of 250 WORDs question also you can write good answer in less word with the help of of Pariksha vani.

Time bound Practice?

if there is no time limitation most of you can write better answer.when ever you practice answer writing ,you should take care of time limitation.during practice you should allot 1 minute for 1marks.In exam start writing with speed from start itself.

Ukpsc is conducting mains exam in new format for first time.where candidate has to write answer in given space within words of limit. The pattern of mains question paper ukpsc will follow is like this..

15 questions-2 markers——30 marks(each of 20 words)

10 questions -5 markers—– 50 marks(each of 50 words)

7 questions- 8 markers ——40 marks ( each of 125 words,only 5 question is to be attempted)

7 questions- 16 markers ——80 marks ( each of 250 words,only 5 question is to be attempted)
