7 Common Mistakes Made by Students While Preparing for ESE
Engineering Services Examination (ESE) exam is one of the toughest exams in India. It is conducted annually by the Union Service Public Commission (UPSC) at a national level.
Not Aware of the Exam Pattern, Syllabus & Study Materials - This one is the most common mistake that students make while preparing for the exam. Before actually starting to study, one needs to make a note of the exam pattern, syllabus and study materials.
No Study Plan/Strategy -
The ese preparation strategy/study plan is the one that most of the candidates fail to make. As the entire ese paper is divided into two main exams i.e. prelims and mains, a proper study plan should be made according to each of these papers.
Choosing the Wrong Institute -
To avoid this, one needs to take a look at the course manual, online reviews of the students learning in that institute, visit the institute personally.
Giving insufficient time to General Studies -
Sometimes it is also a deciding factor whether the candidate is eligible to appear for the mains paper or not. Hence, a proper amount of time should be given to GS section from day 1 itself.
No Time Management -
This is a very wrong approach looking at the level of this exam and the fewer vacancies. One should study every day while keeping their goal in mind.
No Self- Analyzation -
Many candidates fail to realize this aspect. Identify the topics in which one is strong and in which one is weak. Work on the topics in which the candidates are weak or tough.
Insufficient Revision time -
A proper study plan followed by a revision should be carried out daily. Neglecting the revision part and keeping it for the last moment won’t help as the candidates would be burdened by the same at the last minute.
