How To Write a Good Essay In UPSC?

The way you prepare for your GS will help you immensely in your essay writing. Besides the GS section, here are some other sources from where you can take help for writing essays:

Non-fiction reading

Only reading the UPSC study material will not help you write good essays and fetch marks. Besides your UPSC study materials, you also need to go through some non-fiction books. The style in which a non-fiction book is written, the idioms used, the figure of speeches, the rhetoric will help you immensely when writing an essay.

Reading some magazines

If you want to attempt social topics or socio-economic topics while writing the essay paper, you need to have a clear idea about it. To get the idea, the best would be to read essays on political, economic, and social topics and go through various monthly issues that deal with the same.

Preparing a collection of good quotes and anecdotes

When you get into the habit of reading, you will come across a lot of quotations and anecdotes in several papers, magazines, etc. Make a separate copy to jot down these quotes or anecdotes that you come across and go through them at regular intervals. Once you are accustomed to the quotes, you will know which quote to use for which essay. To succeed, you can practice the essay test series.
