How Bhavesh Mishra Prepared for UPSC?
Bhavesh Mishra was very much inspired by Marissa Mayer who served as Chief Executive Officer of Yahoo. It is said that she works for 130 hours a week. Bhavesh adopted a similar strategy in UPSC preparation. He use to study for at least 12 hours a day.

According to Bhavesh the only way to avoid procrastination is to develop a fear of failure. He used to imagine what will he do if the exam was on the next day? This helped to be consistent with his preparation.
Bhavesh Mishra Optional Strategy
As he is from an engineering background. Mathematics was optional which we thought would be easy and was comfortable with it. His advice to prepare for mathematics is:
- Practice as much as you can. Fill all the notebooks with all practice problems. More the difficult problems you solve, the more it will be easier for you in the actual exam.
- Don’t study maths as you would study for any other GS subject. Sit with proper pen and paper and start solving sums.
- One should not directly jump on to see the solutions of the solved example. First, give it your full try, even then when you think it can’t be solved with the knowledge then only you should look at the solution.
- Most of the mistakes committed by candidates in maths are usually silly. To avoid this in the exam, he maintained a separate notebook where he only jotted down the errors which he was committing. A quick recheck for such questions is a must.
- The person who is just a beginner at math should give more time to the subject for understanding basic concepts.
How did Bhavesh Mishra read Hindu Editorials?
For General Studies Bhavesh completely relied on newspapers. He would first go through the whole article and get an idea about the article. After reading the article he would note down the key point in the two sections.

- Present Situation
Apart from this, he would also note down some of the phrases in a separate notebook which could be used in essay or answer writing.
Revising those notes on weekly basics is just as important as making notes daily.
