How they prepared for UPSC CSE 2023
I come from a humble background and always had a passion for public service. I completed my graduation in 2018 and started preparing for the UPSC exam in 2019. I was determined to crack the exam and make a difference in the lives of people.
My study plan was quite rigorous. I would wake up at 5 am every day and start my preparation with a 2-hour study session. I would cover all the subjects, including General Studies, CSAT, and optional subjects like PSIR. I would also take mock tests and practice previous year's question papers.
The biggest challenge I faced was time management. I had to balance my studies with my job and other responsibilities. I also had to deal with self-doubt and anxiety, which made it difficult for me to stay motivated.
To overcome these challenges, I developed a few strategies. First, I created a schedule and stuck to it. I also joined a coaching institute, which provided me with a structured study plan and regular feedback. I also made sure to take breaks and engage in physical activities to stay healthy and focused.
The interview experience was quite nerve-wracking. I was asked a range of questions, from general knowledge to current events. I was also asked to speak on a topic of my choice, which was a great opportunity to showcase my skills and knowledge.
I was thrilled when I heard the results and found out that I had secured Rank 461. It was a moment of pure joy and relief. I had worked hard for this moment, and it felt amazing to see my efforts paying off.
**Key Points: **
Cracking the UPSC exam is not an easy feat, but with determination, hard work, and the right strategies, it is achievable. I hope my story inspires you to pursue your dreams and make a difference in the lives of people.
