 Greetings, aspirants. Welcome to a special video snippet by Shankar A. S. Akademi. See, in my preparation journey, I have met a lot of aspirants. There are some aspirants whose sole focus is on the UPSC civil services examinations. There are some aspirants who prepare for UPSC civil services examinations and also prepare for the State Public Service Commission examinations and the bank examinations as a backup. There are some aspirants who try to balance between their work and their examination preparations. And finally, there are some aspirants whose sole focus is on the examinations conducted by the State Public Service Commission. These aspirants have a doubt. The doubt is that whether they would be able to study and clear UPSC civil services examinations. So, today as a part of cracking the UPSC, the right-way series by Shankar A. S. Akademi, we are going to focus on that doubt. The doubt being whether candidates who are solely preparing for the State Public Service Commission examination would be able to study and clear UPSC examinations. There are 28 states in India, each state having its own public service commission. If I try to address everything, this video will become very lengthy. So, I am going to limit myself to the candidates who prepare only for the TNPSE examinations. See in TNPSE also, the commission conducts lot of examinations. In this video, I am going to try to limit myself only to the group 1 examinations conducted by Tamil Nadu Public Service Commission. First, let us take the preliminary stage. See, there is a general myth that TNPSE focuses only on the fact-based question and UPSC focuses on the analysis-based question. See, this is just a myth. If you take the group 1 preliminary examinations that are conducted post-2019, you can easily find that the pattern of examinations are evolving. TNPSE has started moving towards UPSC pattern. There are more concept-based and more analysis-based question. So, in the preparation aspect, that is the mode of preparation, you don't need to change anything. The only change you have to make is what to study. Take history for example. For TNPSE, you will be focusing more on the Tamil Nadu history aspect. In case of UPSC, you have to focus more on the national issues. And take science for example. In science, TNPSE focuses more on the core sciences. But in case of UPSC, you have to focus more on the science and technology aspect. And in case of current affairs also, most of the current affairs asked in the TNPSE examinations are limited to Tamil Nadu. But in case of UPSC, you have to cover all the national issues. So, in essence, you don't need to change the way or the mode you prepare, but you have to change what you prepare. So, you have to read little widely for clearing UPSC examinations. So, coming to the question, is it tough for a TNPSE candidate to clear UPSC examinations? No, not at all. If you work diligently and if you are able to do a little bit of extra reading, you can easily clear UPSC civil service examination in the prelim stage. Now, moving on to the main stage. In main stage also, TNPSE post 2019 has started asking analysis based question. If you are not believing me, see this question and judge yourself. See, in the first question, they are asking us to examine whether rural women are empowered by the Panjaitiraj institutions. And in the second question, they are asking us to critically evaluate the role of e-learning platforms in addressing the rural urban divide. See, even in static parts like history also, TNPSE has started asking more analysis based question. See, in this question, they are asking us to assess the working of hierarchy in the provinces after the Government of India Act 1919. And in the second question, they are asking us to justify that well in mutiny is a precursor to the first war of independence. See, all these questions are analysis based questions. So, post 2019, in the mains, TNPSE is asking only analysis based questions. So, in essence, if you have diligently prepared for TNPSE mains examination, you will be able to address three general studies papers of UPSC civil services mains examinations. If you have little bit of writing practice, you can easily manage the essay paper also. Only place where you need extra work is in the ethics paper and in the optional paper. Now, coming back to the question. Is it tough for a TNPSE candidate to crack UPSC examinations? See, for this question, in my opinion, if you put your heart and soul into it and if you are ready to do a little bit of extra reading, I am sure you will be easily able to crack UPSC civil services examination. I hope this session was useful. Until we meet in the next session, signing off.
