1. No Fear, No Doubt – Trust Your Preparation
You’ve done the hard work. Now is the time to trust yourself. Even if you feel unprepared, remember everyone feels that way. Walk in with confidence.
2. Don’t Try to Learn Anything New Now
Avoid cramming new topics. It can confuse or overwhelm you. Instead, revise what you already know and keep your mind calm.
3. Sleep Well Before the Exam
A fresh mind performs better than an exhausted one. Aim for 6–7 hours of good sleep before the big day.
4. Eat Light, Stay Hydrated
Avoid heavy or oily foods. Carry a water bottle, and have fruits or light snacks to stay energized.
5. Read Every Question Carefully
UPSC is famous for twist questions. Don’t rush. Underline keywords (like not, only, correct) mentally or on the question paper.
6. Smart Guessing Only
Use intelligent elimination; don’t make blind guesses. If you can eliminate 2 options, take the risk.
7. Time Management Is Key
Don’t get stuck on one question. Move ahead, come back later if needed. Keep an eye on the clock.
8. One Paper at a Time
After GS Paper 1, don’t overthink your performance. Reset your mind before CSAT.
9. Carry Your Essentials
Hall ticket, ID, pens, watch, water, mask (if required), and a calm mindset. Prepare your bag the night before.
10. Remind Yourself Why You Started
Think of the journey you’ve taken. The dream you’re chasing. The “why” behind this effort. Let that give you strength.

Here are crisp, practical, and field-tested elimination techniques for UPSC Prelims that toppers and mentors consistently recommend:
---
1. Extreme Words are Red Flags
Eliminate options with absolute words like:
Always, Never, Only, Must, All, None
Why? UPSC prefers nuanced statements.
> Example:
Statement: “All Fundamental Rights are available to foreigners.”
→ Likely false. “All” is too strong. Some are not (e.g., Article 15).
---
2. Qualified Words Can Indicate Truth
Words like:
Some, May, Can, Generally, Often
→ More likely to be correct
---
3. Eliminate What You Know is 100% Wrong
Even if you don’t know the correct answer, removing one or two definitely wrong options increases your odds.
---
4. Statement Matching Across Questions
If a statement appears in two questions with one confirmed as correct/incorrect, use it to eliminate or confirm answers.
---
5. Focus on Common Logic & Current Affairs Integration
Use your awareness to filter:
If a statement contradicts basic common sense, history, geography, economy, etc., it’s likely false.
UPSC often connects static with current — use recent events to reason.
---
6. Priority to Constitutional & Legal Sources
If a question has options mixing:
Constitutional provision
Government scheme
NGO claim → Prefer Constitution or statute-based options — more reliable.
---
7. Elimination via Interlinking Knowledge
Example:
> Q: Which of the following is a Ramsar Site?
If you remember 2 of 4 are NOT, eliminate them even if you don’t know the rest.
---
8. Avoid ‘Too Good to Be True’ Statements
UPSC rarely makes it that easy. Overly obvious or simplistic options are often traps.
---
9. Prefer Balanced, Moderate Statements
Avoid polarized ones. UPSC frames correct answers in a balanced, factual tone.
---
10. Intelligent Guessing (When You Eliminate 2 Options)
If you’re stuck but eliminated 2 options, guess between the remaining 2 — statistically better than leaving it.
