Tips on cracking UPSC CSE by Ira Singhal (Rank 1)

[@aviakg]

By saying herself lazy is the motivating message to all lazy people who thinks that they are too lazy to crack this exam. In case you guys misinterpreted.

[@deepashree3064]

Genius.. ! She read from 35 to 40 books n that's revision +clarity+different views +analysis. I feel she's not lazy that's over emphasised .. or may be it's a way to tell urself that I still am nothing n u need to do more .. being very practical .. just superb person .. mains marks is amazing .. clear winner . If u see interview marks she has got less that shows(mains) hard work >>>>>> luck.(interview). Thank u mam .

[@sumitagrawal2460]

Ira mam !!! I think u r so so brilliant.. bcoz u did't read newspaper not magzine, u never do revision.. u left all the topic which require mugging.. mam u r really genius..sorry to say mam bt if we follow you we can't crack even prelimis exam in whole life.. . Nd thankx romain sir for ur videos... they r really helpful...

[@nikhileshkatare]

20 chapters a day, consulted 35 geography optional books..... and still lazy?????????????????????????? IRA mam rocks....

[@prakashkumar-yz4km]

+prakash kumar Lazy for herself only!!!

[@saswatsnayak102030]

maybe she got lazy in last year

[@poojapandit7732]

Hi firnds I am Pooja. I am desperately looking to connect with someone to share notes and tests etc. to save cost for IAS. I have also filled the questionnaire from iasaspirantnetwork.wordpress.com. I received their SMS today. Does anyone know about this site? When will it go live. Please help friends....

[@EconFun01]

Summary of the video: 1. Prepare for Mains, Pre will take care of itself. 2. Stats, Data, Facts, Figures matter next to nothing. Analysis, Debate and Discussion are better. 3. Stick to the basics - NCERTs, daily newspaper. 4. Go full out on your Optional - no expense spared. 5. It is okay to leave out a couple of topics entirely. 6. Revise. 7. Coaching is extremely overrated, if not entirely unnecessary. And most importantly, 8. Ira is lazy... Ira. Is. Lazy... LAAAAAZZZZZYYYY.

[@AarshiyaPhoenix]

[@saviodaimei4267]

A very refreshing approach and proof that cracking the exam is not all about sitting in front of your books day and night with no other life.

[@aniketyadav7998]

she is so much fun to be with, a great human being, inspires a lot!

[@kunalranjan5541]

SHE IS ABSLOUTE GENIUS NO DOUBT...

[@dhruvsaxenadstar]

Hello Roman Sir, One of the best part of your Unacademy initiative has shown up this year with toppers sharing there preparation methods rather than just motivating the aspirants in some regular media interviews. Keep up the good work. Tutorials are very useful in understanding many concepts. Thanks

[@ShivamKumar-xp7cr]

At Last Ira has said that if in my time there would have been platforms like "unacademy" then i wouldn't have missed "Art and Culture" and other topics.I suddenly realized that she was AIR 1 now what was she expecting after studying Art and Culture More than Rank 1 I guess Rank 0 or -1..Jokes apart mam that was a brilliant piece of information.Thank you so much for the guidance and your strategy.

[@comprehensiveawareness8616]

happy birthday to you roman sir love u....there is no day without unacademy...and thank you ira singhal for contributing wonderful strategy....hope that we ll also pass exam this year...

[@adroitanandai]

Mam, we don't want to know your weakness, but strength. Thanks!

[@Happy_hopper_tv]

[@alhantutorials1997]

[@thakuranuraganand738]

15 chapters in 4 hours and she calls herself lazy :P What am I? A panda? :D

[@mohammadshafiksheikh9778]

Dear Roman, Gaurav and Ira, first of all thanks for your time that you devoted for this video and this initiative. You are doing a wonderful job and I wish you the best for all your future endeavours. Spreading awareness, giving guidance and motivating lakhs of aspirants through Unacademy is a commendable job that you are undertaking. Keep up your good efforts and remember that you deserve appreciation of a lot of people. Best wishes once again.

[@chessminatorishere]

God bless you guys.. for this support. I wish you everything in the world.

[@biplabkesharimallick4747]

A LAZY PERSON CAN FIND AN EASY SOLUTION TO A PROBLEM...MAM YOU ARE THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE ABOVE STATEMENT.

[@snehagoley2288]

FANGIRLING MOMENT!!!! Thank you so much Ira and congratulations! and thank you Roman for reaching up to her!!! both of you rock!!!

[@balajidbv]

She is so honest and humble. Her strategy is one of the best. But not for people who study with their brains and just want to clear the exam. Her strategy is for those who want to gain knowledge and welfare of our society.

[@truptisawant1421]

I think as she has already stated that this is her strategy and may not b applicable to all... We should take good points and forget the points not suitable to us. For e.g. she has answered a common question of civil service exam aspirants of how many hours one should study in a day.... The daily study target should b content based and not hours based.... Very well said IRA...

[@sivam5881]

Many many happy returns of the day, Roman Sir.. You are a rare species. You work very hard to gain knowledge and you share all that you gained to everyone very honestly.. God Bless You! God is with you. And God is in you!

[@isaacg3575]

Hello Roman Sir....You really Great Sir.......Live Long Long Year ;)

[@maggieznoodles]

Bhayya, sir, guru Roman, now there are only 20 days left. Please post as many videos possible for prelims. Time is running out. We can do with these strategies' videos after 23 August

[@bharathis3555]

Great that u genuinely shared ur marks, views etc. This shows how much luck would favour with hardwork. One mark above prelims cutoff, ends up being no.1. Understand the importance of prelims, 1mark below the score has to wait for 1 year. That one mark is test for CONFIDENCE. Congrats Ira mam your truely an inspiration. Now ur words here gives lots of courage. Thanks mam.

Happy birthday sir....great job ....keep going...fortunate to have guidance from you...take care

[@MsApollina]

Congratulations to Ms. Singhal for her achievement and thanks to Mr. Saini for trying to help CSE aspirants! While it is true that Ms. Singhal focused on how she did not work very hard for the exam, she did mention that it is not something to be followed by other aspirants. There is no short-cut to success. While one may cross a few hurdles in life by fluke, in the end one is bound to get embarrassed and face failure if their basics are not strong and they don't know how to earn things the right way. Listen to everybody's opinion but ultimately, you have to find your own success mantra. So friends, keep working and have faith in yourselves!

[@vikastiwari8504]

The best part is.......it was damn genuine.......thnx....

[@hprashanth]

Ira, Thanks a lot for sharing and congratulations !!! I definitely have things to take from this video.

[@SwaroopMd]

Hi Ira mam, Roman sir, Honesty at it's best!!! Really enjoyed every second of your video, in the famous movie "The Dark Knight". In one of the conversation's Joker says, "I am just ahead of the Curve". Both of you are very much ahead of Curve. As rightly said by one more achiever, "today's hard work is tomorrow's talent" We all try to follow your footsteps and try to fulfill the very purpose of life!!!! thanks, Swaroop

[@rajeshchauhanchauhan7765]

Happy birthday to you doctor saab.. @ Dr.Roman saini IAS.. It's little cool calling you like this sir.. Thanks a lot for your efforts to motivate us by having an opportunity with all great officer's like you sir,by sharing their views about the preparation strategy.. Thanks a lot @ Ira Singhal mam IAS for sharing your valuable thoughts with us..

[@raniakriti4449]

Me too.. Not a mugger.. Can't memorize stuff.. After seeing this i really feel good thinking people like me are also topping upsc...n that was seriously a good advice to finish a particular amount of content rather than sitting in front of the books for 12-16 hours without getting anything..

[@anuragmishra7344]

Damn she'll spoil us all :P thats called champions making things look so simple

[@mytube198711]

THANK U MAM FOR UR HONEST REVELATION OF STRATEGY.PROBABLY WE ALL LOVE TO LIVE IN DOGMATIC WORLD BYPASSING THE REALITY.U R BEING FIRST PROVES THAT U R THE BEST IN THE BATCH OR NONE PERFORMED BETTER AND AT THE DAYS END U SAILED THROUGH WITH U R STRATEGY. AT-LEAST U PROVED THAT NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE AND ON THE CONTRARY EVERYTHING IS NOT POSSIBLE.SO PREPARING ACCORDING ONES WEAKNESS AND STRENGTH IN A WELL PLANNED MANNER OFFER ONE THE HIGHEST POSSIBILITY TO CRACK IT DOWN.

[@abhishekmishra9790]

gr8 job mam!!! u r too honest for people to digest that a lazy person can achieve something.... i liked ur honesty and this video definitely helped me.... thank again.....

[@anjaliraj695]

seriously !

[@anjaliraj695]

+Anjali Raj Yadav Ma'am is an inspiration. At least she is honest about herself.

[@abhishekv4670]

Roman Saini and Ira Thanks for this video , Roman Sir, I have a small Suggestion , I am quite impressed by this work unacademy is doing for aspirants like me who are working and cannot go for coaching,What I would like to suggest is that : 1. You can ask UPSC toppers in optional papers to start making videos in separate playlist like we have for polity, geo etc.Eg: Say geography optional Playlist by Ira maam. 2. and I feel ,many of the successful people can also help you in making videos , so I feel more people must be encouraged to do so. Great work , I follow you on , Quora also.

[@darwinp4107]

Very brilliant attempt with perfect limited hard work. Well done. So its proven that its all matters what and how we write with the knowledge we acquired. It would be so helpful for thousands of aspirants like me out there if you share an account on answer writing especially GS2 and GS4....marks were simply superb...Thank you.

[@rohitsingh-hp3sr]

you are too good...very nice to guide aspirants like us...thanks a lot...

[@oh8568]

Like she said, "Not recommended" to most of her preparation methods, I'm gonna even leave her vid in between as I'm EXTREEMLYYY LAAZZYY!

[@kunalranjan5541]

SHE IS SPECTECULAR...AND HONEST...

[@gameraj6259]

Happy birthday Roman sir....

[@living_strong]

Thank you mam and sir , Im inspired by you both ...as far as strategy is concerned , I am taking all the suitable good points from Toppers , like finish the chapters theory of yours and Roman sir's ruthless 6 hrs cumulative preparation ...and Im making a comfortable strategy for myself . They way in which toppers of UPSC are communicating with new aspirants is highly useful . So I would request Roman sir to never stop making videos and Mark some videos as Highly Important also . I am very thankful to you and it is a great initiative . Please donot waste time in reading full comment but its just a small thanks from my side .

[@pavanyamali2928]

Happy birthday sir...gud lecture by ira mam.

[@snehalaher4754]

You are awesome girl!! This is the first time i am seeing a topper having same line of thought as me. I wouldn't say I am lazy, but i don't get any time because of my job and i try to complete as much as portion as possible without looking at the amount of time i have put in. I consciously avoid watching/reading strategy plans where they tell about the amount of time you should put in. And the piece about mugging up, i am so glad you have been true about not being able to mug up. Thanks again, the video has helped me get my confidence back because i was loosing it as prelims are approaching soon. Thanks to Roman too for all his videos. :)

[@shwetatripathi1260]

Hey hey....did you cleared ??? Has beeen 5 years...
