How they prepared for UPSC CSE 2022
I started my UPSC journey in 2019, with a clear goal to crack the exam. I had a strong foundation in social sciences, which helped me in my preparation. My optional subject was Anthropology, and I was determined to excel in it.
My study plan was a mix of online and offline resources. I used to read NCERTs, standard books, and online materials like Insights and IASbaba. I also attended coaching classes and joined online forums to stay updated with the latest trends and strategies. My daily routine included 8-10 hours of study, with a focus on current affairs, history, and geography.
The biggest challenge I faced was balancing my studies with other responsibilities. I was working part-time and had to manage my time effectively. Additionally, I had to deal with self-doubt and anxiety, which affected my motivation at times.
To overcome these challenges, I developed a few strategies that worked for me. Firstly, I created a study schedule and stuck to it. I also joined a study group, which helped me stay motivated and focused. I used to discuss my doubts with my friends and seniors, which cleared my concepts and boosted my confidence.
My interview experience was a mix of emotions. I was nervous, but also excited to share my thoughts and ideas. The interview panel asked me questions on my optional subject, as well as current affairs and general knowledge. I was prepared for the questions, but still had to think on my feet.
Securing rank 425 was a dream come true for me. It was a result of my hard work, dedication, and perseverance. I learned that success is not just about achieving a goal, but also about the journey you take to reach it. I am grateful for the experiences I had, and I hope to inspire others to pursue their dreams.
