Essential Things to Take for UPSC Prelims Exam

A special message from Naman, sir

Dear Aspirants,

The UPSC Preliminary Examination is the first step in one of the most prestigious exams in India. After months of disciplined study, late-night revisions, and staying updated on relevant issues, this is the moment you’ve worked so hard for.

Stay calm, trust your preparation, and give your best.

When you are on the verge of this important first step, it is not just about how much you have studied – it is also about being fully prepared for the day of the exam. Often, overwhelmed candidates forget important goods that are compulsory to take to the exam centre, which can also cause unnecessary stress or incompatibility.
