How they prepared for UPSC CSE 2022
I come from a family of modest means, and my parents always encouraged me to pursue my dreams. I was fascinated by the natural world and the way it works. I chose to study Geology because it allowed me to explore the Earth's history and the processes that shape our planet.
My study plan was rigorous and well-structured. I created a schedule that allowed me to cover all the topics in the syllabus. I also made sure to revise regularly and practice previous years' questions. I used a combination of online resources and study materials to supplement my learning.
There were several challenges that I faced during my preparation. One of the biggest challenges was managing my time effectively. I had to balance my studies with other responsibilities, such as work and family obligations. I also had to deal with self-doubt and fear of failure.
To overcome these challenges, I employed several strategies. I broke down my study material into smaller chunks and focused on one topic at a time. I also created a habit of reviewing my notes regularly and practicing previous years' questions. I made sure to take breaks and engage in physical activity to maintain my physical and mental health.
The interview experience was a mix of emotions. I was nervous but also excited to showcase my knowledge and skills. The interviewers asked me a range of questions, from theoretical to practical. I made sure to stay calm and composed and answer each question to the best of my ability.
Securing rank 148 was a dream come true. It was the result of my hard work and dedication. I learned that success is not just about achieving a goal, but also about the journey that you take to get there. I am proud of myself for staying committed to my goals and persevering through the challenges.
