IRS officer Suchiter Sharma’s book on UPSC, JKAS preparations released

Srinagar, Oct 10: A book on UPSC and JKAS preparations by Assistant Commissioner Income Tax Delhi, Suchiter Sharma, an IRS (IT) officer of the 2021 batch has been released.

His book, ‘Insider's Guide: Smartcuts for CSE Mains’ has been designed to help aspirants navigate the UPSC Mains with a fresh, practical approach.

“This book is a product of my journey through the Civil Services Examination, where I learned that succeeding in the Mains is not just about hard work but about working smart and efficiently,” Sharma said.

“In Insider’s Guide, I share the specific strategies I used to prepare effectively, breaking down the process into clear, actionable steps that make even the most complex parts of Mains preparation more manageable. This book aims to offer you a real, unfiltered view of what it takes to succeed—not with general tips but with techniques that address genuine doubts and common obstacles that most aspirants encounter along the way,” he said. “I introduce a concept I call “smartcuts” or ways to approach your preparation in a way that balances optimisation and maximisation. This approach helps you to make the best use of your time and focus on areas that matter most, ensuring that every study session moves you closer to your goal. I discuss critical aspects like when to begin certain stages of preparation, how to tackle answer writing, and effective time management, so you can approach each phase with confidence.”
