Preparation Strategy

Background

I was born and raised in Punjab, and my parents always encouraged me to pursue a career in engineering. I scored well in my 12th boards and got into IIT Delhi, where I studied for four years. After completing my engineering degree, I landed a high-paying job in a corporate company. However, I soon realized that this job was not fulfilling my passion for public service. I had always been interested in the Indian Administrative Service (IAS) and wanted to make a difference in society.
