I come from a humble background, and my journey to the UPSC CSE was not an easy one. I had to work multiple jobs to support my family while studying for the exam.
My study plan was quite rigorous, with a focus on Geography and General Studies. I created a detailed schedule, allocating specific time slots for each subject. I also joined a coaching institute to get guidance from experienced teachers.
The biggest challenge I faced was balancing my studies with work. There were times when I had to choose between attending a coaching class or working to pay my bills.
To overcome this challenge, I had to be extremely disciplined and organized. I created a separate study space in my home, free from distractions. I also made sure to take breaks and engage in physical activities to maintain my mental health.
The interview experience was a mix of emotions for me. I was nervous but also excited to showcase my knowledge and skills. I prepared for the interview by practicing my responses to common questions and researching current events.
Securing 24th rank in the 2024 UPSC CSE exam was a dream come true for me. It was a culmination of all my hard work and dedication. I am grateful to my family, friends, and mentors who supported me throughout my journey.
