The qualities of an IAS aspirant:
Every year there is a large anticipation to know about the toppers in the UPSC exams. After the announcement, these toppers are revered by both parents and students. They are considered as knowledge ‘wizards’ and their study habits are followed with great enthusiasm. Here, I have listed out some of the important qualities of an IAS aspirant:
-
- The fire within: The fire within is the sincerity or the willpower to achieve the dream. One should not study to fulfil one’s parent’s wish, we should aspire for our dreams and ambition sincerely. The student should be able to manage time with efficiency to fulfil their dreams.

- Willpower: ”Where there is a will, there’s a way” is an apt phrase for the aspirants. Studying for UPSC exams is not easy since one has to spend long hours preparing for it. One has to spend at least 16 to 18 hours studying the subjects of the syllabus. Sometimes an aspirant has to take many attempts before achieving the success, at these times they should build up their spirits for the next attempt.
- Break time: It is very difficult to maintain long monotonous hours for studying the same topic again and again. So one should spend at least one hour to relax, one can pursue some hobbies or play some sports. These recreational activities will recharge you for studying sincerely and effectively.
