How they prepared for UPSC CSE 2022
I come from a family of engineers and scientists, and I was always fascinated by the world of politics and governance. I pursued a degree in Civil Engineering from IIT Kharagpur and worked as a software engineer for a few years before deciding to take the UPSC exam.
I started preparing for the UPSC exam in 2017, after my graduation. I created a study plan that included a mix of theory and practice. I read a lot of books, including NCERTs, standard textbooks, and topic-wise guides. I also practiced a lot of previous year question papers and mock tests.
The biggest challenge I faced during my preparation was time management. I had to balance my work and study schedule, and it was tough to manage my time effectively. I also faced a lot of self-doubt and uncertainty, especially during my first attempt.
To overcome these challenges, I developed a few strategies that worked for me. First, I prioritized my studies and focused on the most important topics. I also created a schedule that included regular breaks and self-care activities. I used to exercise regularly and meditate to reduce stress.
The interview experience was a mix of emotions for me. I was nervous and anxious, but also excited and confident. I was asked a lot of questions about my optional subject, Geography, and my experiences during my preparation.
Securing AIR 225 in the UPSC exam was a dream come true for me. It was a culmination of all my hard work and dedication. I feel proud to have achieved this feat, and I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams.
