  • How do I improve my daily answer writing practice
    skills for the UPSC CSE exam?
  • Daily Answer Writing
  • Applicants often complain that they work hard,
    read a lot and write the most important things
    every year, but they cannot make it clear the
    Daily Answer Writing. Put that opinion or
    knowledge down on paper succinctly and also
    within a specific time frame. And that's what
    this article is all about how to write
    meaningful, relevant and concise answers.
  • Important Aspects of Daily Answer Writing
  • Every Day To start with , each applicant needs to
    have clarity and a plan about how much time they
    will spend on each question (both in terms of
    thinking and writing the answer).It's always a
    good investment to spend a minute or two
    understanding the required dimensions and
    scaffolding the answer before you start writing
    an answer. Then one can write a logical and
    fluent answer in the remaining time. Keep the
    following in mind
  • Self-evident plan
  • Clear plan to ensure flow and progress, you need
    to segment your daily answer writing logically.
    This candidate must consider the following
  • Clarity in thought process.
  • The examiner needs to have a bird's-eye view of
    how the reaction will develop.
  • There must be continuity and connection between
    the different parts.

Answer the "question" instead of a "topic" The
applicant must address the focus of the
question. A common mistake applicants make is
they pick familiar words/topics and fill out
pages about them and then expect to get a good
score. It is worth noting that you cannot write
anything blindly. You are familiar with a
topic. MAXIMUM ATTENTION SHOULD BE DEDICATED TO
THE ESSENTIAL CONTENT OF THE QUESTION. The
response should reflect that the applicant
understood the question and met its
requirements. Instead of beating around the bush,
applicants should hit the nail on the
head. Proportionality A common mistake that is
often made is that applicants write too much or
too little about something. Sometimes there is
insufficient introduction or conclusion and
sometimes too much. This causes the reaction to
start or end abruptly. Seekers often repeat the
same theme or dimension, resulting in an
unbalanced response. Be attractive enough to
read. This requires clear writing, proper
presentation, underlining of important content
(without overdoing it), subsection headings, and
diagrams/flowcharts. The applicant must ensure
that the examiner reads the strongest arguments
in the response. Creative contribution

The answer should consist of cross-topic links,
catchy terms, facts and figures, case
studies/illustrations/anecdotes. The aim here is
to demonstrate practical awareness and
applicability. To ensure this, the best practice
is for the applicant to think about what he/she
can write in the answer that is relevant to the
question being asked but relates to a different
topic that is not an obvious part of the for
others answer is. Expressions There must be a
balance between one's own views on professional
and superficial jargon, research studies, and
expert views on the other hand. In other words,
you shouldn't appear too hardworking or too
amateurish. The key here is to use technical
jargon, expert opinion and facts/figures to get
to the heart of the issue being addressed. The
rest of the answers must be in your own language
but shocking. Concise and Comprehensive in daily
answer writing The answer should be written in a
way that is concise and consists of carefully
worded sentences, while at the same time being
meaningful. The answer should not be ambiguous,
inflexible, or meaningless. Stick to the
reference statement in the question Often a
question consists of a statement. Instead of
going in circles, you have to come to a
statement as quickly as possible in this case. If
possible, who said the utterance, when and in
what context should be mentioned. This will put
the answer in a different orbit. IT IS ALWAYS
BEST TO CLOSE WITH A REFERENCE TO THE
"QUESTION". Addressing the Specific Requirement
of the Question The specific requirement is
indicated indirectly by a final word. For
example Discuss, explain and critically
question. The meaning of each of these words is
different and each of them has a different
requirement that needs to be met.
