How they prepared for UPSC CSE 2022
I come from a small town in Rajasthan, where my family and I have been living for generations. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the stories of my ancestors who were involved in social service and public administration. This sparked my interest in becoming a civil servant and serving the nation.
My journey began with a clear goal in mind - to crack the UPSC CSE exam. I started preparing for the exam in 2019, with a well-planned strategy and a timeline. I devoted 8-10 hours a day to studying, which included reading, practicing, and revising. I also joined online coaching classes and attended mock interviews to improve my skills.
The biggest challenge I faced was managing my time effectively. With a demanding study schedule, it was difficult to balance my personal and professional life. I had to sacrifice my social life and hobbies to focus on my studies. Additionally, I faced self-doubt and fear of failure, which made it difficult to stay motivated.
To overcome these challenges, I developed a few strategies that helped me stay focused and motivated. Firstly, I created a schedule and stuck to it, allocating specific time slots for studying, practicing, and revising. I also joined a study group, which provided me with a sense of accountability and motivation. Moreover, I practiced mindfulness and meditation to manage my stress and anxiety.
The interview experience was a mix of emotions - excitement, nervousness, and confidence. I was well-prepared for the interview, having practiced with mock interviews and studied the current events and issues. I was confident in my knowledge and skills, but still nervous about the outcome. The interview panel asked me a range of questions, from my background and interests to my views on current issues. I answered each question confidently and clearly, highlighting my strengths and achievements.
The moment of truth arrived when the results were announced. I was overjoyed to see my name on the list of toppers, with a rank of 268. It was a moment of immense pride and satisfaction, knowing that all my hard work and dedication had paid off. I realized that success is not just about achieving a goal, but also about the journey and the lessons learned along the way.
