“Aasaan IAS is dedicated to turning IAS aspirants into IAS officers. We do this by improving their thinking, changing how they learn, and helping them understand what the UPSC selection panel looks for.”
No doubt! NCERTs and some standard books are extremely useful in clearing this exam, but all the information that you require to clear preliminary and Mains examinations are covered in this course in the simplest way and in a structured format. Still you like to read other books, you can do that. In fact, after following this course, you can read these books much faster and even better
Most of the current events that you require to know for clearing this exam are not independent or unexpected events which happen suddenly. The course well covers all the concepts in a systematic way, including current updates (not only of this year, but also with the proper background including all the major events of the decade) on theme basis, so you can easily understand, retain and recollect when required. Since reading is a good habit, you are recommended to read whatever you like, but after going through this course, reading newspaper will definitely not take 90 or 100 minutes, you can simply read it in less than 10 minutes, because you already know all the developmental activities, social issues, political conflicts, environmental related things etc.
Please don’t do that. This is really an easy exam and do not demand your whole day for preparation. Many aspirants, out of their excitement to prepare for this exam, assuming it requires full time devotion, quit their job and most often, go to Delhi, leaving all other priorities of life behind. With this, most of them get back to the life cycle of a tenth standard student (Coaching, Studies, reading newspaper, motivation, and finally frustration), This is not the way a future IAS Officer should get into. If you can consistently manage at least 2 hours a day for preparation, you can joyfully prepare this exam along with your other priorities of life. In fact, it is the best way to keep yourself going with your life and clear the exam as well.
