Strategy Archive
I was born in a small town of Aurangabad, Bihar. Growing up, I was always fascinated by the world of civil services and the impact it can have on society. My motivation for UPSC came during COVID, and I started preparing along with my job after 2021. Since I wasn't able to qualify the preliminary exams, I had to re-strategize my approach.
