Avoid unnecessary information burden
Jaya says that in today’s time the popularity of UPSC is at its peak. Almost every youth is dreaming of passing this exam and becoming an IAS. Internet and smartphones have made preparation easier, but with it comes a big challenge. Burden of unnecessary information should be avoided. According to him, many students change their goals again and again as they get more information. After seeing new sources, books and coaching notes, their attention gets lost, and this becomes the major reason for failure in UPSC.
Make a plan and stick to it
Jaya advises students that in an examination like UPSC, only simple strategy gives real success. According to him, work continuously on the same plan and in the same direction.
New books come in the market every day, but in trying to read everything, preparation gets spoiled. It is better to read one book several times rather than reading several books once. She says that revision is the center of success in UPSC. The more you revise, the better it sticks in your mind. What matters is not how many hours you study, but how you study.
Not hours, quality matters
Many students are worried about how many hours an IAS will study daily? Jaya gave a clear answer to this question. In UPSC, it is not hours that matter, quality matters. If you read only for a few hours, but read with concentration, then that is most effective. He told that the ability of every student is different. Someone can learn as much in 6 hours as someone can learn in 10 hours. Therefore, instead of comparing, one should trust one’s own preparation.

Jaya Sahay told that to be successful in the examination, pay special attention to these subjects.
