Tips and strategies to clear UPSC CAPF exam

Like the Civil Services exam, UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) conducts an examination for aspirants willing to serve the nation in security forces. Many hearts are broken when students are unable to clear the defence exams like NDA, CDS and others. However, there is a golden opportunity to serve the nation as the CAPF (Central Armed Police Force) personnel. The CAPF Exam pattern is conducted in three stages: Written Examination (Paper I and Paper II), Medical examination of candidates and the interview round. Aspirants have to clear all three stages to be a CAPF officer. Many students put their best to clear this examination but only a handful get the desired outcome. Why, because they fail to implement these effective tips. Follow these tips to clear all three stages effectively.

How do I clear the UPSC CAPF exam?

    1. Socialize with other aspirants

You are not only the one who is preparing for the CAPF exam. Lakhs of candidates are doing the same across the nation. Even your neighbourhood fellow might be on the same journey. So instead of isolating yourself from others, socialize with other aspirants and follow a group study method. Sharing knowledge and discussing concepts is the easiest way to gain new knowledge. Apart from aspirants, connect with qualified candidates or CAPF officers who cleared this exam in the past. Utilize your free time from studies to socialize with other fellows or make them part of your daily study routine. There the more you share, the more you gain. Follow this mantra.

    2. Refer authorized study materials

There are plenty of study materials available to assist in preparation for the UPSC CAPF exam. Refer authorized publishing house study materials only to get accurate knowledge.  Mock test papers, CAPF Previous year question paper, test series and other materials are best for exam preparation. First-time aspirants who don’t have an idea about the exam pattern and types of questions expected can refer to these materials.  Practicing these materials will help to identify your mistakes and know your strengths and weaknesses. It is an essential part of examination preparation. Candidates who lack time management and don’t get sufficient time to solve papers can practice mock test papers. 

    3. Self-study and make notes

If you are a coaching scholar and spend most of your daytime in coaching centres only, devote some time for your self-study as well. We do not deny the importance of coaching but what important practice candidates forget to perform is self-study. Once you sit on the study table and solve questions, you can evaluate yourself where you lack. Coaching centres can only re-explain the concept, but it is you who have to understand the concepts. Reasoning, Language and other syllabi need practice and mastery. You can gain it only by studying yourself. Also, make notes of what you study. It improves your memorization power and boosts knowledge. Make short and informative notes that are easily understandable. 

    4. Acquire new skills

The sky's the limit to learn new skills. Update yourself daily because no one knows which gift would help you in your profession. Clearing exams is only the part of getting a job. But, to sustain it for long, you need professionalism. Learn computational skills, build problem-solving ability or other skills. Whether it is a private or government job, professionalism and upgrading yourself are required in the profession.
