Talking about ‘How to write an effective essay’, I usually hear people say, “Essay writing is an art”. Well, it is indeed, for the Civil Services Examination. Ever since its introduction, this paper carrying 250 marks has been the centre point. Getting a decent score of about 130 in this paper is a challenge. To take up this challenge, a strategy is required.
Let’s have a look at the instructions part of the Essay paper from previous year. It states: “Examiners will pay special attention to the candidate’s grasp of its material, its relevance to the subject chosen and to his ability to think constructively and to present his ideas concisely, logically and effectively”.
The instructions only, clearly show that the facts and analysis should be presented in a logical flow. If you want to make it through the main exam, you have to have your head straight. The aspirant should use his mind and articulate the points churned out in a nice manner.

While Essay writing is an art which can be mastered only with hard work and determination, there are some general yet well researched and highly effective tips that, we at Mytestbuddy, think can really help you:
- Selection of the topic: There will be more than one topic given (In 2010, the number was four). The selection of the topic matters. Generally, topics are from culture and heritage, current political and economic issues, science and technology, social issues of relevance, environment and philosophy.
Let us have a look at the topics of 2010 exam.
- Geography may remain the same; History need not
- Should a moratorium be imposed on all fresh mining in tribal areas of the country?
- Preparedness of our society for India’s Global leadership role.
- From Traditional Indian philanthropy to the Gates-Buffett model- a Natural progression or paradigms shift?
These are not conventional topics for which we get ready-made material. Every topic is analytical and requires your own views. Such being the topics asked, you should develop the art of writing ‘concisely, logically and effectively’. Let it be any topic, you should be able to present the matter constructively, with the general understanding you have evolved through reading and observations.
- The Essay should consist of an introduction (where you strike the relevance of the topic chosen), a concise and logical body (where you present your arguments in favour and against) and a logical conclusion (where your views and suggestions are given).
- While writing your views, take care these are in line with national consensus, constitutional and in tune with the cultural ethos and values. Extreme/radical views are not favoured (as an administrator, you are supposed to take a balanced view for the welfare society).
- In support of your views, you can give basic facts and figures. Do not fill up the body with too much of it. What you require is more of analysis and views.
- You have three hours time. This time should be planned properly to get that concise and effective essay. One may get tempted to write as much as possible. Do not commit that mistake. You can write around 2000-2500 words effectively after a detailed thought process. For the thought part, you apportion one hour time, jot down the points as rough work (at the end of the answer sheet), make corrections and crystallize.
- Plan the flow, effective arguments, examples to be cited, basic data to be given, quotations to be incorporated and all. An impressive introduction can be written in the rough space and perfected. These things will surely impress the examiner as he will find that you have gone through a brainstorming exercise before putting your views on paper.
- And all these are possible only through practice! You may have lot of knowledge and facts with you, but penning down an essay requires real writing practice. . It doesn’t matter if have not attempted writing an essay before. All you have to do is try, try and some more try!
Civil Services Examination being one of the toughest competitive examinations in India, a solid strategy for clearing the exam especially the Essay questions, is essential to have the edge in this examination! Once you practise these simple tips for writing an ‘effective’ essay coupled with a good score in your optional, you are sure to enter the top Civil Services!
Essay Writing for Civil Service Exams
The essay is an area, which most students forget. It may not be possible to concentrate on essay writing due to lack of time. It’s fine. Even then you can be attentive ‘not’ to lose marks by making simple avoidable mistakes.
To talk about the essay,
First choose a topic you know. There may be proverbs or phrases you aren't clear about. In that case avoid those topics. The examiner may not be amused if you bluff an entire paper (essay paper only one question is to be answered!).
Another thing is to cover all aspects on a subject. The issue should be seen from all angles, before you reach a conclusion. Eg: In an essay on Sustainable development – the social, political, environmental view of the subject can be discussed.
It won’t be possible to start writing the essay straight away. You can create a good plan for essay before writing the actual essay. The upsc answer sheet is a big bundle with enough pages. You can do the rough work of the essay on the pages towards back.
Our idea is to create the essay which means we gotta make a Intro, body, and conclusion. That doesn’t mean that we will put “Introduction” or “Body” in writing when we start. Take some time and make the Intro interesting. The examiner is seeing tonnes of paper, and he has to feel –“this is cool” or “hmm..OK”
There are many ways in which you can begin an essay. The way you can start essay depends on the topics. Eg:Through a small story with two people – one who enjoys its fruits and another who has been hit hard by the same. This works in topics like Eg: Globalization, Public-Private-Partnership etc. Thus the two views would be put in a subtle manner.The beginning must be attractive, well written and mistake free. Else the reader (examiner) will lose interest.
After the intro comes the body part. The body must go into the subject – analyse the aspect from various angles.
Eg Essay on sustainable development there may be social, political, environmental views.
Social – how the uncontrolled destruction can lead to disaster. Here the touching story of uttarakand or any flood can be written to highlight the issue
Political – how the international players are discussing the issue,what steps have been taken etc.
Environmental- how destruction of species, or monoculture can affect balance of nature
Each angle of thought can be made into paragraphs, thus the reader can watch how our thought on the subject unfolds.
I have always used diagrams in essays, but i don't think its a common practice.
In the conclusion part, you can bring your take on the subject. This conclusion should be in sync with your body. It would be bad if you preached nuclear energy to be an evil in the body of essay in full force and then ends with praise for the same.
