When and how did the inspiration and idea of joining civil service come in your mind? Ans: Being from UP, the idea of preparing for the toughest exam in nation was always somewhere in my mind. During my 3rd year in B. Tech. I got the chance to work with an international engineering firm. The narrowness of canvas and supposed indifference of people in corporate sector towards general public got me thinking. It was the time when I seriously started to consider civil services as a career. I talked to some of my seniors and made up my mind for this exam. I did not appear for campus placement at IIT as I had decided to make IAS my aim. But there was a twist in the tail. As I was only 1. 9. B. Tech., I wasn’t eligible for civil services exam. So I took admission in M. Tech. IITD and started my preparation. The Choice of Optional Subjects. Q. After a person decides to appear in civil service exam, the first big obstacle is “Choice of optional subjects”. What factors did you consider before selecting your optional? Ans. As I considered myself pretty good in physics, I started preparing with physics and geography at first. But then my seniors suggested that I should not take physics as it was not doing very well at that time (2. So I shortlisted few other optionals and read a few basic books in each of them. I found geography a bit boring (personal opinion), So finally I decided in favor of pub- ad and sociology. The main criteria were interest in subject, availability of good coaching in Delhi. Momentum. Q. People initially prepare with much enthusiasm but then a boredom phase comes – they don’t even find the motivation to read the daily newspapers, let alone studying the books. How did you sustain the study- momentum throughout the year,Ans: Finding constant motivation is a bit difficult. So I followed Gandhian strategy of taking small breaks between high intensity phases. I took a little break after prelims (2 weeks), a big break after mains (2 months) and visited my family/relatives/friends, did something that I enjoyed (blogging, learning driving, travelling, writing and reading short stories etc). After such breaks, when I returned to my desk, there was a sense of urgency and motivation of deadline coming up. Hours. On an average, How many hours did you study per day? How many months did it take you to complete the core syllabus of GS and optional subjects? Ans: I am not a very regular and sincere student as some of my friends are. I generally study 3- 4 hours per day. But there used to be few high output days & few weeks before exams, when the clock worked 6- 7 hours with me. I must admit that I am a very fast reader. I would not suggest anyone to be so erratic in his/her studies, because it affects our performance negatively. I am appearing for civil services exam this year also and I am planning to devote at- least 6- 7 hours regularly. More than that I could not and would not read as quality of study goes down drastically after 6- 7 hours per day. Quality is more important than quantity. Lets see how this plan works. I completed GS in 2. Internet. How did you use computer and internet for your exam- preparation? Ans: Computer has been a constant source of entertainment and socialization for me. As this long phase of life can make you feel very disconnected. So interacting with friends/fellow aspirants and finding semblance is very important. I also used Internet to supplement my notes, whenever I felt that I do not have sufficient material on any particular topic. In GS, few areas such as international affairs, science and technology developments etc are better prepared from internet. Then there are grand daddies of knowledge, Wikipedia & Google, which can answer your every question. I discontinued reading newspaper during my second attempt and relied heavily on internet for news. I subscribed to feed of all the major newspaper articles, PIB and few good blogs. This provided me a wider range of opinion than following a single newspaper. Essay. How did you prepare yourself for the essay? Which Essay did you write in Mains- 2. What were your keypoints in that essay? How many marks did you get in that essay? Ans: I was very casual in my preparation of essay in my 1st attempt. I was convinced that having pub- ad and socio will automatically cover my essay preparation. In exam I misinterpreted the essay topic and wrote a very artistic essay. This proved disastrous as I got only 7. I missed final selection by only 1. So, I gave more attention to essay this time. I shortlisted 2. 0- 2. Then I practiced writing few essay and got it checked by one of my teacher. Also, I decided to choose the most common topic and targeted average marks in essay. The strategy paid off and I got 1. I wrote on the smaller state topic in 2. There are two ways of attempting essay paper. First with a lot of flamboyance, but that is a high risk/ high gain business. Second is keeping it absolutely mediocre and removing element of risk from essay marks. Choice is yours. Phoenix. Q. Serious players get mentally shattered and depressed after failure in competitive exams. How did you cope up with failures and rose from the ashes again? What had gone wrong in your previous attempts? How did you fix those issues in your 2. Ans: I was not very well prepared in my first attempt (2. It was a wake up call. After seeing my marks, I was convinced that I am just on the threshold and need a little more push. So, this time around, I completed whole syllabus and did not leave anything to chances. I focused on mains preparation and tried to complete optionals before pre result was announced. I revised my notes few times, this factor was missing in first attempt. I also gave more attention to essay and optionals. Profile. Many aspirants fear the interview, thinking that “my profile is not good because. I’ve low marks in SSC/HSC/College, I don’t have any extra- curricular certificates,I don’t have work experience,I graduated from some unknown college, I’m from non- English medium and so on…”So, How important or relevant is the profile of a candidate during interview? Ans: I don’t think that profile matters that much. The performance at the time of interview counts more than anything else. I would go further and say that candidates with a moderate profile benefit more in interview. Interviewers expect a basic level of smartness from candidates of strong profile (good college/good job). And if a candidate with good profile fail to live up to the expectation of interviewers, he gets low marks. Opposite is true for candidates with moderate profile. One can positively surprise the interview panel with his/her personality. How do you rate your own profile? Ans: I think I have decent profile.
