Appearing for civil service examinations in India in no mean joke! Regardless of whether you are preparing for the state civil services or the Administrative Service, the effort and volume of study can actually bog you down. And appearing for the West Bengal Civil Service (WBCS) entrance is no different. Most of you join WBCS Coaching and that of course is a great idea; though Preparation should ideally begin when you are in the 10th standard. Small habits like reading the newspapers, online news, magazines etc. go a long way. There is no better way to train your mind for general knowledge and current political affairs.
Most of you enroll for WBCS coaching while pursuing a college or a post graduate degree. At times working professionals also take the plunge and join evening classes at institutes; which is good because most of these classes employ retired or serving officers who can guide you effectively. The best part is you ge/t a complete list of recommended books and study material.
Most of these institutes test your skill and level of preparation at regular intervals with a series of WBCS Mock Tests. One cannot possibly overemphasize the importance of appearing for and performing in these tests. These tests are model on the actual WBCS papers. At times you get to solve previous years question papers. That way you can easily gauge your level of preparation, weak areas and strong points. Constant testing gives you an opportunity to test your skill, knowledge and speed. You figure out specific areas that you need to work harder on.
It is almost like simulating a real life situation; for example, learning to drive a car on a simulator. Now you feel as though you are actually driving a car. You accelerate, brake, overtake, and speed just as though you are on the road among other vehicles. So when you really get on to the road you don’t feel the difference.
So whatever you do, do not miss your WBCS Mock Tests that way you will be absolutely prepared for the real thing. And there is no way you won’t ace the entrance this year. So go for it and best of luck!
