Introduction

Q. Tell us something about yourself, your family, when and why did you enter in this fieldof competitive exams?

I have largely been educated in Delhi and my academic details have been mentioned above.Apart from this, I practice meditation and strongly advise candidates to do the same during andafter the course of preparation. My father is a professor in Netaji Subhas Institute of TechnologyDelhi and my mother is a homemaker. My elder brother works in a software firm in Gurgaon.

My main motivation for entering the civil services is to look forward to a career spanning 40years that can provide opportunities to bring about visible change to the society. Job satisfactionand challenges along with decent standard of living are important considerations that made meopt for civil services.

Electronic Vs Paper material

Q. In recent times, there is spur in electronic material- blogs, sites, pdfs, RSS-feeds. Manyaspirants feel bogged down by this information overload. So, how much do you rely onelectronic material and how much on the paper material (Books, newspapers)? If possiblenarrate a typical day in your studylife. What is your style of preparation (e.g. I continuemaking notes no matter what Im reading, I just read multiple times but dont maintainnotes, I make mindmaps on computer or xyz style)

I just got bogged down by the length and width of your question. Anyways, I strongly believethat good selection of available electronic material is extremely essential in the current patternof examination. My reliance on electronic material was more than 50% during the course ofpreparation as going through the books to clarify a single doubt is generally wasteful of time.

Personally, I relied on disciplined study during the course of preparation. In the meanwhile,there are many instances when the pattern gets broken but it is all a part of the bigger picture.There is no set time table that I can enunciate here as I made multiple schedules. But, it isimportant to set achievable targets for oneself during the course of preparation as it keeps onefocused.

I generally relied upon the memorizing important points in the newspaper editorial which Idiligently read. Usually, editorials on a topic get repeated multiple times. But it is alwayspreferable to make notes topic-wise, which I did for some topics that were important.

Tempo and style

Q. People know what books and syllabus points are to be prepared. But most of themlack consistency in their preparation. So, how do you keep study momentum going on?How do you fight against the mood swings and distractions?

Consistency in preparation is an important thing, but what is more important is that one shouldhave faith in oneself throughout the course of preparation. I have seen people fretting overconsistency and ruing over lost days rather than utilizing the time available at hand. Alwaysremember that the present is the sum total of the past but the future will be the sum total ofyour present. So use your present effectively.

As far as mood swings and distractions are concerned, I would suggest that people develop ahabit of wide reading and read those things related to economy or history etc. on the dayswhen there is no inclination to study. Also suggested is the use of apps which can be read offthe block any time of the day to utilize time even when partying J. (I am not endorsing partiesduring preparation)

Q. Any observation / comments / tips about GS prelim 2014 paper?

The paper largely focused on environment and culture. The portion on economy and polity wassimple and the aim should be to score as much in these two areas. People should focus onenvironment as the questions are more doable unlike culture.Q. in GS-Prelims 2014, there was unusual questions from environment and agricultureportion. If you were to give the attempt again in 2015, what new strategy / books /sources would you focus?

I would believe those questions were an exception to UPSC. I would continue with similarsources as previously mentioned though I would certainly like to read more from the sources Ialready had. Frankly, I rarely read the entire notes that I bought.

Q. Now that Aptitude paper has become qualifying, obvious more attention needs to bepaid on the GS paper so apart from the books that you already have gone through, whatelse would you have tried for CSE-2015 (if you were going to appear)?

I would have gone for multiple online mock tests and ensured that I properly read the solutionsprovided given the paucity of time.(only a month left)

Q. Any observation / comments / tips about GS Aptitude 2014 paper.

Q1. Did you attend any mock tests? do you think theyre necessary for success?

Q2.other observations / tips / comments on the length / difficulty level of compulsorylanguage papers in CSE-2014

My compulsory language was Hindi and I have to admit that the paragraphs were a bit tough.But given that it is merely qualifying, a good enough Hindi is sufficient to put you across thebarrier. Moreover, Hindi is my mother tongue, I have to know it sufficiently well to qualify. So,have faith.

Mains: Essay

Q1. How did you prepare for the essay paper?

Try and write an essay every fortnight after the prelims. I took a test series with GS Scorewith essay component embedded in it. This proved to be quite useful during thepreparation as a second person perspective on my essays was discussed with me in detailby Manoj Sir.

Q2. Which two essays did you write and What key points did you include in it?

1. With great power comes greater responsibility.

2. Was it policy paralysis or the paralysis of implementation that slowed the growth of thecountry?

I generally focused on covering multiple dimensions in the essay. Given the time lag, I only havevague memory of what I wrote in the essay and do not want to give wrong information.

From my personal experience and analysis, I believe that essay should be more interactive,cover multiple dimensions relevant to the topic as well as effectively utilize quotations andexamples from the real world.

GS4 Ethics case study answers in Mains 2014

Q. in GS4 ethics papers, please give a sketchy overview of your case study answers:

Case your approach/ keypoints

case1: your friend preparing UPSC Take a positive and reformistapproach. Law of karma

case2: Rameshwar the uptight UPSC topper. Standard ethics case study. Listen toyour heart and answer appropriately.

case3: no bribe no contract. Never bribe. Use RTI.

case4: corrupt subordinates file bogus rapecomplaint against you.

Answer the notice and keep workingdiligently. Have faith in the institutions.

in the remaining bol-bachchan type questions (e.g.why ethics important, why probity difficult etc).

Be ethical in approach. Nevercompromise and always analyse.

Mains answer-writing?

Please tell us how many marks worth attempt did you give? along with comments if any, in thefollowing cells:

Paper Best attempted Average quality namesake answer Total attempt

GS1 15-16 3-4 3-4 25

GS2 12-14 3-4 2-3 20

GS3 13-15 3-4 1-2 20

GS4 8-9 5-6 0 14

Opt-P1 3 1 1 5

Opt-P2 4 1 0 5

I prepared well enough to finish the paper in time. Given the exam, it is recommended that bestquestions are attempted first, but there is no hard and fast rule for the same.

Q. How was your experience with the fixed space answer sheet?

It is a very good thing done by the UPSC. There is sufficient space that allows sufficiently bighandwriting people (like me) to utilize it effectively without being lulled into writing too much ona single question.

Q. Did you write answers in bullet points or in paragraphs? Some players (who clearedmains and got interview call letter) were claiming that they wrote entire paper in bulletpoints, so it doesnt matter.whether examiner is asking examine, comment, discuss orxyz.simply write in bullets and points.

Write appropriately as per the demands of the question. Some questions are better inparagraph, generally those with few points and many examples(mainly GS 2 and GS 3), whilethose with many points must be in point format.(GS 1 and GS 3)

Q. Did you follow the introduction-body-conclusion format? because some mains-qualified candidates claim they simply wrote the points they could recall within the time,instead of bothering with proper introduction and conclusion.

Yes. Proper structure in every question.

Q5. Did you use highlighters / sketchpens in your answers?

NoQ6. Did you draw any diagram in any paper? (e.g. in GS1 Geography)

No

Q7. If yes, Did you draw diagrams with pencil or pen?

N.A.

Q8. Did you use ruler to draw the lines in diagram? Or did you just make it by hand?

No

Q9. You wrote the answer in blue pen or black pen?

Blue

(Mrunal since readers keep mailing such queries, therefore Im asking the topper to clear allthe air haha.)

Mains Optional: Electrical Engineering

Q. Whats your optional subject and why did you chose it and not something else?

Electrical Engineering. This was also my graduation subject and hence more of a natural choicefor me.

Q. If a new player wants to pick this subject, would you advice for it or against it? (e.g.every senior player in Public Administration seems to be advising against pub.ad)

I endorse it. Completely. In fact I advertise it. But be prepared to work hard with fruitless yearscursing yourselves for not working hard during engineering. But at the end of the day, you cango back to your college and say that the fault did not lie with you J.

Q. First the essential book/resource list. (Also mention which one is the Base book forcovering the theory? + Whatever comments youve for a particular book e.g. my seniorssaid read xyz book but I found that ABC book was better. xyz topic not given properlyin this book, so prepare from xyz website or book OR and so on.)

Refer to Prince Dhawan Sir and Prakash Rajpurohit blog.(https://prakashrajpurohit.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/electrical-engineeeringmains-booklist/)

Q. How much of internet-research / current affairs is necessary for this optional? OR canone simply rely on the books and be done with this subject?

Internet research is needed for many topics that are not generally taught in engineering.

Q. How many months did it take to finish the core optional syllabus?

About 7 to 8 months. I was lucky that my father is an Electrical Engineering professor and hetaught the entire course.

Q. How many days/ weeks before the exam, you started answer writing practice?

After the prelims.

Q. Do you maintain self-notes for revision of optional? In which format- electronic orpaper?

No.

Q. Your observation about the difficultly level of 2014 mains vs previous papers. Andwhat precautions / rectifications are necessary in the future strategy for given optionalsubject?

Same. Similar paper is being repeated year on year for this optional. Given the marking issimilar, one can expect electrical engineering score to go much higher.

Before the interview

Q1. How did you prepare for the interview? for college grad, hobbies, place of origin,current affairs at national and international level?

First of all, do not try to exaggerate on the DAF. My form was very simple and the pointers werethus in my zone of comfort. For the above mentioned topics, internet and discussion with peersis the best method that even I adopted during the course of my preparation.

Q2. Did you attend any mock interviews by coaching classes? How were they similar /different than official interview? Do you believe it is necessary to attend such mockinterviews?

Yes. They give good confidence before the actual interview. Though not necessary later, it isrecommended for first timers(like me).

Q3. Describe the formal-dress worn by you in interview.

Formal black pant, blue shirt, formal tie and black shoes.

Q4. Where did you stay for the interview? (Hotel / friends home ) and whatbooks/material did you bring for the revision before interview?

My home. No revision notes.

During the interview

Q1. Who was the chairman of you interview board?

Vice Admiral (Retd.) D K Dewan

Q2. How long was the interview?

45-50 min

Q3. Why do you want to join civil service? Why dont you continue in your graduationfield? Social service can be done from private sector too. [Since I dont know whetherthey ask you this question or not. But if they had asked- what will be your reply?]

Civil services offer a career that one can look forward to for the challenges as well as giving youthe platform to create visible changes in the society. It is just individual preference where onefeels the satisfaction from and there is no hierarchy as to which field will allow oneself to domaximum social services etc.

Q4. Please narrate your entire interview- what questions did they ask and what did youreply and other pleasant or uncomfortable experiences during the interview. (Earliersome toppers only tell me their question but not their answer. I would appreciate if yougive both Question + your original answers)

It was a long interview and I dont feel inclined to write the entire thing right now. Will send thelink if I decide to post the transcript somewhere.

Q5. Was your interview on the expected lines of what you had prepared or did they askyou totally unexpected questions? Was it a stress interview, did they ask anyuncomfortable questions? If yes, how did you handle it?

No. In fact the interview went tangentially into US politics, Indian foreign policy etc. for a longtime (I had gone to US for a competition)

Q6. Any side details about technicalities like make sure you bring xyz document or doxyz thing, or youll face problem?

Bring whatever is mentioned in the form. For the medical, please bring many extraphotographs.

Q7. Any word of wisdom / observations about medical checkup?

Be relaxed.

Not decided yet.

Views on UPSC reforms

Q. Optional subjects should be removed altogether. The present stalemate is helping no-one, except coaching-owners, book publishers.

It is the prerogative of UPSC, but in my view at least the emphasis should not be too high onoptionals. In the long run, it will be beneficial for the exam to be based on general studies, essayand interview only.

Q. Your views on the decision to make CSAT paper 33% qualifying?

It would certainly help many candidates, but the qualifying criteria must be set a little higher sothat the paper does not become a cakewalk.

Q. Despite what UPSC has done in recent years, it has failed to curb the nuisance ofDelhis coaching factories. In fact its increased under the new syllabus in 2014. Lets faceit, most candidates who gave Mains-2014 have relied on (authentic OR Xeroxed) coachingnotes because there was hardly any time left to prepare so many topics in such shorttime. This system work against an individual preparing from far-away area, without anyfinancial resources, high-speed internet or contacts in Delhi.

True. The focus of UPSC should always be to select good candidates. It is the nature of capitalist-oriented society that coaching institutes will always adapt to the changed pattern.

Q. Half-merger of IFoS with CSE is a bad move because it has raised the cutoffs for playerswhore solely dedicated to IFoS only (and not to IAS/IPS). Adding salt to the wounds, manywho had applied for both jobs, cleared the prelims- they did not even bother to appear inall the papers of Mains-IFoS. (atleast that was the scene in 2013).

It is partially true. Those dedicated to IFoS are at a disadvantage at prelims. But here again UPSCneeds to simply ensure that good candidates are selected.

Q. UPSC should disclose official prelim answerkey and cutoffs, immediately after prelim isover, instead of postponing it till interview phase is over.

It would be a good idea.

Q. UPSC should be conducted online like IBPS and CAT exam to shorten the duration ofexam.

No. The format and inclusive nature of the exam do not permit such change at this stage.

Q. If you are made the UPSC chairman, what other reforms would you initiate for the civilservice exam?

I guess UPSC official key should be released soon after the prelim exam. The time betweenmains and result should be reduced and separate exams should be conducted for AIS and otherallied services so that the process can be significantly shortened. Payment for the forms ofmains should be done online rather than by fee stamps.

Insecurity about prole

Q. Many candidates prepare sincerely but constantly live under fear about profileinsecurity. Im not from a big college, Im not from English medium, and I dont havework-experience. What if they ask some stressful questions in the interview about this?Did you suffer from such insecurities? What is your message to these candidates?

These are all unfound fears and one should realise that UPSC board members are experiencedenough to look beyond such insecurities.

Wisdom

Q. Through this struggle and success, what have your learned? What is the wisdom of lifeand competition? What is your message to the new aspirants?

Hard Work, perseverance and faith are the most important friends in the UPSC exam. There aremoments of anxiety throughout the course of preparation. I always advise aspirants to learnsome form of de-stressing activity, like meditation.

Q. Many hardworking candidates have failed in Mains/Interview of CSE-2014. Theyrefeeling cynical, hopeless and depressed- what is your message to them?

UPSC exam is a lot about luck and perseverance. Sometimes we feel that life is harsh on us, butconnecting the dots backward we would realize in the future that those moments are importantlearning points in our life. Analyse what went wrong in this attempt and move on to the future,next attempt or a new venture, whatever you may choose. Never lose hope.

Credit: Friends/family

Q. Behind every topper are many people who stood by during those uncertain timeswhen he/she was merely an aspirant. Would you like to tell the world, who were thosepeople in your case? Any specific incidence that you would like to share with the readers?

My success is 10% due to me and 90% due to the people who stood by me during the course ofpreparation.

First of all, I am thankful to God who blessed me with such great friends, family and teachersalong the way. My parents and my elder brother were my biggest source of inspiration andguidance throughout the journey. I would also like to thank my entire family for standing by meduring this time.

My teachers as well as my guides (Kak Sir and Rajib Sir) at Samkalp and GS Score wereimmensely helpful to me. They formed the part of my extended family on which I could rely onthroughout the preparation for anything personal or course related.

Lastly and most importantly, I can only count my blessings for having such great friends in mylife. They not only stood by me, but they also gave the right piece of advise for preparation. Ihave to admit that I was literally counselled into studying by my friends. I know it is not enough,but thanks a lot for all the support.

There is only one specific incidence that I would like to mention. After my GATE result, I wasextremely depressed as it seemed that my entire preparation was in doldrums. I could not evenproperly study. This was the time when I was thinking of leaving this attempt altogether.However, it was only due to the advise of my friends and family that I could gather the strengthto work hard once again.

BOGUS Marketing Propaganda

Q. You are well aware of the sacred rule the last question must be about self-marketing.So, Did you use Mrunal.org for your preparation and if yes, how did it help you? And youcan even reply No. Ill still publish your answer without tempering.

Mrunal.org was certainly a very useful website for me. In my view, your best initiative was theweekly overview of events. I used to study that portion every Sunday.
