Competitive exams are like a battle which need right strategy: Dr Vepa

“Your preparation plan should be made with the sole aim of cracking the civil services examinations. And while preparing, whatever subjects you choose, treat them equally and allot them proper time,” said Dr CS Vepa, director, Vepa Academy in Hyderabad. Elaborating further, he asked the aspirants to have long-term and short-term planning when they set out to study, as competitive exams are like a battle and need right strategies.

Aspirants should not only try ways to sharpen their brain but also to give it some peace and rest. So, one should make a daily plan by taking into consideration questions like ‘how many hours should I study’, ‘what should be done when’, Dr Vepa shared.

Along with completing the syllabus for the day, it’s better to plan for the next day’s activity. Also, the best way to retain information is to recollect all the major points from whatever you studied through the day before you sleep as it will help make your brain sharp and remember better. That way, you’ll be letting your brain know what it is expected to do the next day. “While strict time-management should be abided by when studying, you should also take at least an hour for relaxation,” said Dr Vepa.

He further explained the 50-5-5 formula as a helpful tool for the competitive examination aspirants — one hour should be considered as a unit in which 50 minutes should be spent for study, five minutes for visualisation of the studied topic and five minutes for physical movement or relaxation.

More youngsters should do well in these tests: MLA Mahesh Reddy

Success is ahead of fear: Mukunda Ashok

When students hear the words competitive exams, there’s always a feeling of fear that engulfs them. However, that shouldn’t be the case, feels Mukunda Ashok, Municipal Chairman, Pargi. Success is just ahead of fear, he shared. Appreciating ‘Telangana Today’ and ‘Namasthe Telangana’s efforts in coaching the candidates appearing for TSPSC exams, he said that it has been very useful for those who do not have jobs at present.

Reading either of the newspapers every day, especially the section dedicated to job aspirants, is more than enough for preparation, added Ashok. “Students must not miss the opportunity to read the paper thoroughly which will, in turn, help them in grabbing a good job. Dedicate six months in preparing for competitive exams and restrain from indulging in any kind of diversions,” he said.
Maintaining a calm and cool attitude, aspirants must give the majority of their time in a day to preparing for these exams. “If you work hard now, not just you but even your family can live a happy life,” he concluded.
