What are the common mistakes candidates make while writing answers in the CSE UPSC main exam? How can I improve it?
So the common mistakes that people generally tend to do are:
Not taking the feedback seriously. Generally after gaining such an amount of knowledge we tend to think that I am the only one right in the room and we tend to ignore the feedbacks.
We shall realize that it is the exam that is to be cleared and not a knowledge/ quiz competition going on there.
Listen to others views carefully and you can contradict it by yours but in a decent manner, practice this as this will reflect in your answers as well.
Don’t be of patriarchal mindset or religiously motivated with no scope of acceptance of others views and opinions. This will refelct in your answer writing as well.
Practice as much mock test as possible.
Work on your writing speed.
Make a note of your shortcoming while writing the exam carefully.
Be ready to fail all the time. Success is never guaranteed in UPSC no matter how hard you work.
What are the Sources to the Constitution of India? Ans: The Constitution came into effect from 26th January 1950, we all know it that is the Republic Day we celebrate. But the constitutional work started quite a back only, our constitution smells some of the Charters Act passed by the British's to rule over British India prior to 1947. But the actual process started with the adopting of the Objective resolution by Shri. Jawaharlal Nehru on 22 January 1947. The Resolution proclaimed India as a sovereign Republic which is now independent of any external ruler. So the date 15th August that is our Independence day is the date mentioned in the Indian Independence Act of 1947 brought by the Viceroy Mountbatten.
Important sources are the :
1. Government of India Act 1935 which gave us the federal structure that is the center and semi autonomous states with in the Union, then Center state relations, Administrative setup that is the office of governor and the Public Services commission that is todays UPSC and the Emergency provisions as well.
2. Constitution of USA - We got the Fundamental rights, judicial review, preamble and the impeachment of the President, also the removal of the judges of Supreme court and the High court, it's not easy for the government to remove them because of it.
3. Constitution of UK - It gave us Parliamentary model that is the council of minister responsibility to the legislature. Then the cabinet system like we have a cabinet who functions under the Prime Minister and the writ jurisdiction that is Article 32 through which anyone can approach the SC/ HC if his or her fundamental rights are taken away, a very important Article of the constitution.
4. Constitution of Ireland - It gave us the Directive Principle of state policy (DPSP) these are non justiciable and give directive to the government for abeyance while forming laws. We also got method of elected President from them.
5. Constitution of USSR - Fundamental duties, that is Article 51-A, which was inserted by Shri Indira Gandhi as the principles to guide the citizens and the ideals of justice(social, economic and cultural) in Preamble.
