In this
article I am going to give you information on one particular topic which plays
very major role for your competitive exam preparation. We will be discussing about how to make
notes for the various competitive exams. When we think of the notes making
where is with respect to what kind of exam you are preparing for. So if your
preparing for semester exam it is totally different and if you are preparing
for the exams which is having mains paper in that for example as a SSC, JEE, UPSC,
IAS, MPPSC notesmaking pattern little different but
when you go for the competitive exams which is having objective questions in
that or MCQs questions like GATE, NEET, JEE, UPSC and MPPSC prelims, PWD, RRB or any other exams that time again
the pattern will be little different. So, we will try understanding each one of
them.
so before
actually starting with this first let's understand why notes making is very
much important. See first whenever you are preparing for any of the competitive
exam remember that you are dream is very high so when you are dream is very
high that means your journey is also tuff. So that you don't try to find any
shortcut for that, whatever the things are needed you must do it accordingly.
Now let’s
understand why these notes making is very very important? First thing whenever
you try making notes with your own handwriting that means you are understanding
each and everything from what you have studied either you have watched any
video or either you have referred any book and took any mppsc coachingnotes. When you are making notes
with your own handwriting that mean you must understand each and everything. If
you copy straight away from the books so that is not called as notes. If you
are saying I am having sound notes which are written by myself that mean
whatever you have written in that book you know each and every thing about that.
So that if have you written any thing in your copy there should be crystal
clear and they should be known by you that is you should read what you have
written.
And the next
point is whenever you are doing revision because revision plays very major role
in any competitive exams. So, if they talk about MPPSC exam it will be in the
month of July 2022 only 4 months remain and one month completely you have to
devote for revision you should not study even a single topic, single point, new
something during that one month. So, one month you have to completely devote for
the revision so what I want to say is that revision plays very major role along
with the preparation.
You have to
schedule your preparation accordingly revision model time rather than requiring
some other notes or rather than referring some other videos or other Institute mppsc printed notesor any other of your friend
handwritten notes if you have your own notes you should trust in such a way
that what you have returned is correct and good enough for your preparation.

According to my opinion, you
better go for a MPPSC coaching instead of a self-study regime.
If
you are capable enough, you can do the study by yourself but going to an mppsc coaching institutehas its own pros. Some
are-
1. You
get a competitive environment around you; as our environment plays a major role
during preparation, the competitive environment will make you study more in a
pressure environment.
2. The
teachers are experts in their respective fields in these coaching. They would
teach you only the most important and most relevant things which are required
in exams. You will know what to study and what not to. Otherwise, you'll end up
studying each n everything and would end up getting stressed.
3. The
teachers there will give you insights, shortcuts, newer methods you never
thought of, lines you missed, in a nutshell they will modify your problem
approaching skills.
4. Coaching
institutes hold regular tests among all the students studying there. You will
know where you stand in this cut throat competition.
5. They
provide you with questions and booklets and mppsc noteswhich are specifically made for the concerned examination.
6. After
coaching you'll be able to solve problems a normal school student can’t. You'll
think faster, solve faster, calculate faster, your critical thinking would be
far better. (Provided you did well at the institute and you were attentive).
7. Even
if you are a topper, there are topics even you don't understand, problems you
still struggle with, there at the coaching there will be a team of teachers to
help you all the time and make you and your concepts better.
These points I wrote come straight from
my personal experience. Hence, I would strongly recommend you joining a mppsc coaching in
indoreso that you are not left behind in the race and are well
equipped to fight in the battle.
This is a
perennial question I get asked the most. And it’s understandable too. Many
aspirants who begin their MPPSC preparation are
clueless about this exam’s demands.
Q. Is
coaching necessary?
Think of an elite
sportsman like Virat Kohli. Does he have a personal coach? Yes, he does. But
would you say his career success is purely down to his coach? Of course not.
Kohli trains and suffers day in day out, practices consistently to learn and
improve his game. His self-discipline, hard work and the burning determination
to excel at the game is what makes him the elite player he is.
Same goes with
success in the MPPSC exam. Coaching merely helps you, it does not ensure you a
rank. Your self-study, consistency, and the hard work you put in sitting at
your study table matters far more than what you do in coaching classes.
So if you are
attending coaching classes, do take their mppsc notes, but you should not rely excessively on them and
neglect standard books. In my first Mains, I did this mistake of depending on
coaching notes disproportionately— I barely read any of the standard books.
When I wrote my first Mains in 2012, my lack of conceptual clarity was evident.
Unsurprisingly, I failed to get an interview call.
Always remember
that roughly, not more than 25-30% of your preparation should depend on mppsc coaching
classes. To say that without coaching
you cannot crack UPSC is to tell a lie. There are people who put in even that
25% of work by themselves and have cracked this exam (that is, they might have
read coaching notes, but did not attend any classes.) So, it depends on your
personal belief, self-discipline and your basic level of knowledge to determine
whether you need coaching.
Suppose you know
what standard books to study, what coaching notes to refer to, and by reading
them you can understand the subject, that’s brilliant and you don’t need
coaching.
On the other hand,
if you are clueless about the exam process or the books you need to study,
coaching institutes will help you get a broad idea. But as I said, you still must-read
standard books, make required notes and put in the work to outshine your
competition.
Q.
How do you compare coaching in Delhi versus elsewhere?
As I had said,
coaching does not constitute more than 25-30% of your preparation. And there’s
nothing profound about coaching institutes in Delhi.
For those
preparing in far flung areas, if you cannot afford to go to Delhi, that’s
perfectly alright. You can get MPPSC notesof all the major coaching institutes in most
cities. So make a trip once to your nearby city, buy them from a bookstore and
study on your own.
Also, I believe
internet has truly democratised information and made it accessible even to
rural areas. These days many institutes are providing coaching classes via
video lectures. You can opt for them too.
Moreover, online
websites have emerged as brilliant and affordable alternatives to traditional
coaching institutes. So if you cannot go to Delhi to take coaching, you are not
losing out on anything.
Q.
How helpful are coaching notes? Can they substitute standard books?
Standard books are
important because they are written from the ground up and they form the
foundation of your knowledge. Once you read standard books, reading coaching
notes not only becomes much easier, but you can also see where in that big
picture does a small topic fit in.
The problem with
reading just the mppsc coaching
notesis that they fail to you give
you such big picture perspective. What you will be left with are fragmented
concepts and broken knowledge which doesn’t stick for long in your memory. For
long term memory, we need a topic’s context which is why you should always
start with standard books.
For example, when I started Anthropology, I first read Ember & Ember
to get an overview of the subject. Afterward, when I referred to Sharma Academy
mppsc coaching material, I could clearly see how a particular topic such
as Primate Adaptation fit into the larger concept
of Human Evolution. This is why standard books are
indispensable.
While reading
coaching notes, remember these:
§ Coaching notes are helpful and easy to revise
before the exam. But they can only supplement but never substitute standard
books.
§ Always map your notes onto the chapters and topics
in syllabus. Most coaching institutes do not cover the syllabus entirely. Even
if they do, they usually rush through some chapters. So when you see a topic
not covered well in your notes, read on your own from other sources and make
notes.
§ Coaching notes and material come in handy to cover
a specific topic. For example for a topic like Govt schemes, instead of you
labouring to compile them from ministries’ websites, it’s better that you buy a
compilation booklet of any institute. Smart work saves you a lot of time.
§ You have to remember that UPSC is not at all like a
graduation exam. In college, it’s fairly easy to read just the notes and score
really well. But in UPSC, the questions are of higher standard and of deeper
analytical depth. None of the questions usually come directly from your
coaching notes. It’s your clarity of concepts— especially in optional— that
will help you write good answers.
