A post by IAS officer Awanish Sharan has gone viral, citing several "misleading" vlogs saying that UPSC candidates must study for more than 18 hours a day.
IAS official Awanish Sharan has spoken out against study vlogs that suggest UPSC candidates must study for more than 18 hours each day. Sharan, a 2009 IAS batch member, remarked that this information is 'misleading' and that kids do not need to study for that many hours to excel in competitive exams.
His post sparked a debate among students and potential candidates.

Every year, lakhs of people across India take the Union Public Service Commission test, which is one of the most prominent in the country. The exam is regarded as one of the most difficult in the country and requires strategic planning, concentrated devotion, and a disciplined approach.
These days, many aspirants create study vlogs to capture their journey and inspire others. However, one should not simply accept their claims.
His tweet sparked a controversy on social media and received a wide range of replies. The majority of users felt that such a rigorous study schedule of 18+ hours makes no sense and that quality is more important than quantity. Many others also chastised such vloggers for confusing applicants and appreciated Mr. Sharan for raising the issue.
While some agreed with him, others emphasized the importance of individual variances in retention and learning styles. They contended that excellence should not be determined merely by the number of study hours.
The argument reflects ongoing discussions about study habits and competitive exam techniques. Sharan's perspective highlights the importance of taking a balanced approach to exam planning, focusing on productivity, comprehension, and smart time management rather than raw duration.
