Tips for Mains Answer Writing
Whenever you take the mains exam, write your answer completely because it is very important to adopt a very careful approach to writing the answer, whenever you write an answer, you should see it from 360 degrees.
When you make a claim in your answers, you must substantiate it, as it gives validity to your answers. If you do not mention the answer, the examiner will see your answer as read. UPSC asks you to prove in some questions, so you have to explain them by giving examples, you confirm the question by giving real-life examples.
We have seen that there is doubt in the minds of many students about whether to write the answer pointwise or in paragraphs. So there is no separate rule set by UPSC for this which you should give importance to. It depends on what you are comfortable with, if you think that it may be better to write point-wise then do so.
Whenever you write an answer, always use error-free and simple language. And try to write the answer clearly and concisely. You have to avoid using word traps and flowery language as it can lead to ambiguity in your answer which can lead to deducting your marks.
Write your answer in neat handwriting. Try to explain the answer by making tables, figures and diagrams together this will further enhance the quality of your answers.
Follow the word count specified by UPSC.
You must have heard from many toppers that they have done a lot of answer writing practice for mains and this is also an important tip as one must practice writing lots of answers in all the subjects while preparing for the mains exam.
