I've evaluated numerous GS answers and essays in the past three days, and a significant issue keeps reappearing: language skills. This seems especially prevalent among students from vernacular mediums.

Common problems I'm seeing include:

- Overly long sentences
- Grammar mistakes
- Spelling errors

These issues create a very poor impression on evaluators. Make language a priority!

Short Solutions:
- Read actively: Pay attention to sentence structure, grammar, and spelling in quality newspapers and editorials.
- Practice daily writing: Write short paragraphs on current affairs topics.
- Get feedback: Ask a mentor or peer to review your writing specifically for language.

Considering Your Future:
A Thought for UPSC Aspirants

For those who have dedicated three or more years to UPSC preparation without achieving their desired outcome, it's a good time to start thinking strategically about a Plan B. The unpredictable nature of this exam means that having alternative paths is a pragmatic step, not a sign of giving up.

Financial Stability:
A Core Component of Your Plan B

While a Plan B will look different for everyone, financial stability should be a central consideration. This doesn't mean abandoning your aspirations, but rather building a secure foundation for your future.

If you possess a technical aptitude, consider exploring fields like digital marketing, copywriting, search engine optimization (SEO), or artificial intelligence (AI). These areas are experiencing significant growth and offer promising career prospects, provided you focus on developing relevant skills.

Starting Your Plan B Journey

It's never too late to begin preparing for a Plan B. In fact, starting now allows you to explore new possibilities and develop valuable skills alongside your ongoing UPSC preparation. This dual approach can reduce pressure and open up new avenues for success.
