Essays in UPSC Civil Services Exam are usually written for an intelligent but uninformed audience, so it is important that essay writing need to begin with some context. A good context in an essay can help you to fetch good marks in IAS Mains Exam.

But before diving deeper into this it’s important to clarify what is meant by ‘context’ in an Essay writing. In your essays, it can count as any extra knowledge surrounding the dimension. The context of an idea or event may not be always visible and apparent; it requires reading between the lines, around the lines, and beyond the lines. After finding the context, it is very important to grasp various perspectives (various ways/strands of thinking on a given issue) on an issue. Tracing the context of an “idea” or a “topic” of an essay is finding the “whole” to which a “particular” belongs. It is like finding the “tree” to which a “graft”, or a “branch” or a “fruit” or a “flower” belongs. It is very helpful when we develop a “thesis” knowing well its “context” that is to say that every “idea” or “statement” needs to be located to the bigger “plain” or “space” it belongs to.

It is very important to know the dimensions precisely before setting context in essay in UPSC Mains Exam. The importance of dimensions in an essay is immense. The dimensions of an essay writing are like branches of a tree . These are the ideas we get after brainstorming over a particular topic. We write down all the dimensions that come to our minds and choose only those which are relevant for the essay. The chosen dimensions are used further to set the context of the essay writing.
