So, it is essential to choose subjects that you are genuinely interested in so that you are enthused about learning more about the topics.
Make notes
Most toppers swear by this technique of studying. Writing reinforces what you have learned and also helps you organise your learning content. This makes recollection easier.Make sure you know what to study and what not to study as this examination requires knowledge from every sector but in depth information is not needed.
More diagrams, more marks
Wherever possible, include diagrams, flowcharts, etc. to enhance your answers. They reveal a clear understanding of the concept and would fetch you more marks.
NCERT books

A healthy body fuels an active mind. Apart from intense studying you should also eat right, sleep well, and get enough exercise that will keep you going to crack the civil services exams.
Hard work
This one goes without saying. To ace the WBCS EXAM you need to go that extra mile. Have the determination and will power to work hard and struggle. In the words of the great Thomas Alva Edison, there is no substitute for hard work.

Never give up, never surrender,always stay motivated and rise up against the odds.’
