Starting early in UPSC preparation provides several advantages, including a deeper grasp of the extensive syllabus and more time for revision. An early start allows candidates to pace their studies, reducing pressure as the exam approaches. It also enables them to engage in a comprehensive analysis of subjects without the stress of last-minute cramming. Additionally, with ample time, aspirants can revisit and refine their understanding of complex topics, adapt their strategies based on feedback, and become accustomed to answer writing practices, which enhances overall performance.
