My ethics strategy

GS4

My ethics strategy was focused on adding real life examples from diverse domains (e.g., sports, books, movies, civil services etc), diagrams and case studies to make my answers more real and distinct from others. Moreover, I tried to quote key words from syllabus in my answers as much as possible (eg compassion, integrity, non-partisanship etc).

Sources:

1. Foundation notes from Target UPSC

2. Diagrams and examples from topper copies (v imp channel was Priyansha ma’am’s channel for case studies : https://t.me/PriyanshaIAS)

3. Value addition from Satyam sir’s 3 hour marathons (Understand UPSC)

4. Any value addition from other GS papers that was relevant - I often tried to use it in my answers

5. The channel Karamyogi IAS also had some useful frameworks and punch lines for ethics

I tried to practice 3-4 questions from ethics everyday as I often felt under confident in the subject.

Sharing my ethics tests here - I hope it helps!
