SIDBI Grade A (General Stream) Exam Tips & Tricks

1. Cover the whole syllabus: The syllabus should be covered comprehensively. No portion should be left for granted, whatever the past trends.

2. Attempt mock test: After coverage of a substantial portion of the syllabus, a decent number of mock tests must be attempted. The number of mocks should be reasonable. Too many tests would drain your precious energy and too few numbers would leave you unprepared. Mocks should be given in an exam-type environment only. Joining only one standard Test Series would be a wise idea.

3. Proper revision: The syllabus of Prelims is quite massive and scattered. More than coverage, it's important to consolidate the entire material. Hence, revision should be both reasonable and time-bound. A fine balance is demanded in the coverage of the syllabus and revision of the covered portion.

4. Make proper notes: No syllabus of UPSC can be covered with quality without making proper notes. Notes should be made in a proper format so that it becomes easier for the aspirants to memorize and reproduce. Notes should not be too bulky and hence the purpose of notes should always be tied in mind.

5. Practice previous year question papers: Past year papers should be like a radar of preparation that provides direction and orientation to your preparation. Apart from enhancing your knowledge base, past year papers help in forming your mental outlook. This increases your common sense and helps you in eliminating options.

6. Avoid Distractions: As this is the most precious phase of the SIDBI recruitment process, aspirants are advised to not waste even a single second on unnecessary and time-killing activities like watching movies, TV shows, and visiting places.

7. Devote extra Time to General Knowledge & Follow Current Affairs: As a SIDBI aspirant, following current affairs and keeping a check on general knowledge is of utmost importance. A good grasp of general knowledge can be achieved by reading different books, journals, and articles. Reading newspapers daily is the most effective means of keeping yourself updated with current affairs.

8. Analyze yourself: Timely analysis of your preparation is the most vital tool for getting the desired results. Be accountable and responsible for yourself. Analyze your exam preparation regularly at the end of the day. Proper analysis will help you work on your weak areas and help you to prepare for the SIDBI GRADE A exam effectively.
