How to write Essay

It is observed, two types of Essay topics comes in CSE mains examination, such as conventional topic and topic from current events. The conventional topics are covered by mostly recorded data, information and statistics which are relatively impersonal. Whereas the topic relevant to current events are in the form of conversation, aspirants may put his opinion and suggestions and hence it carries an emotion in the writing. Your views on the answer papers help the evaluator to understand you about your quality, efficiency and potentials. So, while writing any essay an aspirant need to be smart enough to choose the topic.

We here at ETHIC IAS ACADEMY do brainstorming sessions for Essay Writing which helps the aspirants to get many data, information and idea as content of the topic.

Methodology

The concluding sentence of a paragraph must be written in such a way that it should connect to the next paragraph and the flow remains maintained.

No paragraph should be confusing or lacking in clarity. It should be clear and concise as possible. The introduction should be stated in such a way that the evaluator’s interest increase to go more deeply to the writings and he should be able to understand what is to follow next. Similarly the conclusions must be in a positive outlook with any interesting personal comment or any relevant narrative.

This indicates that personality cannot be acquired in a short period of time. In the context of Civil Service Examination, the personality of any individual must possess the following qualities like the ability to properly analyze any issue, courage and patience to overcome bottlenecks and time constraints in order to deliver services, assessment of past events to improve solutions in future, quick and accurate decision making and confidence enough on own decision, must not be biased or inclined to any particular factor and act diplomatic to handle situations.

We at Ethic IAS guide our students as per the following process exclusively for personality test.

  • We suggest our students to read books, magazines, newspapers, blogs, novels, poetry etc. We urge them to make reading as their habit because more knowledge and information you gather, your self-confidence increases and encourages you to speak anything-anytime-anywhere.
  • To make it more systematic and CSE centric, we organize brainstorming sessions like Group Discussion, Debate and Speech among students from very beginning of their journey. With these activities, they get data and information at one place. Though initially it is quite difficult and struggling but over the course of time, their ideas to understand the topic and presentation grow gradually along with vocabulary.
  • We keep video recording of these activities, analyze and evaluate their presentation and discuss individually with the students for their personal growth in how to speak, behave and approach while presenting views and opinions
  • We make them familiar with proper dress code which is eventually formal and decent enough to suit a Bureaucrat
  • We conduct dedicated Mock Interview Sessions under the guidance of Retd. Bureaucrats, ExMembers of Commission, Top Educators from reputed Universities and Psychometric and Neuro-Linguistic Program experts.
