IAS Officer Tina Dabi’s UPSC Preparation Timetable Goes Viral, Inspires Aspirants – News18

Over the past six years, IAS (Indian Administrative Service) officer Tina Dabi has become a household name, often gracing headlines with her achievements and inspiring journey. Amid her growing presence during the COVID-19 pandemic and her significant following on social media platforms, Tina Dabi is once again the subject of attention, as a UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) preparation timetable has gone viral, with her name mentioned in the footnote. While it is widely assumed to be her timetable, no concrete evidence verifies its authenticity.

Nevertheless, let’s take an in-depth look at this schedule. The handwritten timetable is meticulously detailed on a white sheet of paper, outlining a comprehensive study plan for the last three months. It spans the entire day and commences at 7 a.m. with wake-up and freshening up, followed by newspaper reading at 7:30 a.m. The schedule continues with breakfast at 8:30 a.m. and a 3-hour study session from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The day includes a 1-hour slot for current affairs revision from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m., followed by lunchtime from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. A 1-hour rest period is allocated from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. The day resumes with another 2-hour study session from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., followed by a 3-hour revision of topics from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. Dinner is scheduled from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m., and the day wraps up with a final 2-hour study slot from 9 p.m. to 11 p.m. Leisure and social media time is allotted from 11 p.m. to 12 a.m., and the day concludes with sleep at midnight.

On the upper right-hand side of the page, a small square box outlines the allocation of 3 hours for major topics, 2 hours for medium-length topics, and 3 hours for revisiting previously studied topics. The schedule is supplemented by essential reminders:

This study plan is a suggestion; adapt it to your individual needs.

Ensure each topic in every subject undergoes three revisions before the preliminary examination.

Craft your timetable, designating specific topics for 3-hour and 2-hour study slots.

Topics studied in one week must be reviewed in the following week within the 3-hour revision slot to avoid forgetting.

A nutritious diet and 7 hours of sleep are vital.

Tina Dabi started her UPSC journey during her first year of graduation. As per reports, she succeeded on her first attempt and emerged as the top-ranked candidate in the 2015 UPSC exam. Following her training, she became an IAS officer of the Rajasthan cadre in 2016.
