JMI RCA is inviting applications from prelims cleared candidates for direct admission to the coaching program.

It is not over till it is over. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Moments like these are what we as humans live for, the glory, the emotions, the greatness. “koshish bhi kar umiid bhi rakh rasta bhi chun, phir is ke baad thoda muqaddar talash kar” Today that muqaddar was with us and hence, we are the world champions today!

My Mains Strategy 1. Wrote around 20 sectional and full length GS tests, 7 essays, 12-14 optional tests. 2. Attempted Mains PYQ of last 10 years for GS and Optional and tried to make model answers for the same. 3. Read 3-4 topper answer copies daily and tried to incorporate their best practices and content into my answers. 4. Regularly read newspaper and incorporated content in my answers. 5. Focus more on writing rather than just revising the notes. 6. Made a separate notebook having important factual info like data, stats, important court judgements, constitutional articles, national and international reports, diagram, flow charts, etc for use in my answers. 7. Created ready made intro and conclusions for major topics that had potential to get repeated in that year’s mains exam. 8. Wrote all my mock tests in exam like conditions, continuously 3 hour writing without any break or disturbance. 9. Identify and pick a pen that you’re comfortable writing with for 3 hours continuously. Pen is mightier than the sword in mains exam. 10. Finally, had belief in my preparation and continued with consistency daily without any gap and break.
