Vishal Shah got a rank of 63 in CSE 2018 with a score of 329 in Sociology, which was his optional subject. He is the sociology topper this year. This was his 3rd attempt. He worked in a few startups before getting on to this journey of Civil Services.
He, in fact, got a rank of 1047 last year but decided to improve his rank in CSE 2018. He was a part of ForumIAS’s MGP batch.
Watch his Q and A session with Asif sir where he talks about the things he did differently this year to get a better rank. He talks about the importance of forming disciplined study groups, which is one of the reasons behind his grand success this year. He discusses the Dos and Dont’s of forming a study group.
He talks about how discussing tests with friends taking different test series helped him in getting a better idea of different patterns in which questions can be asked.
One has to be very much selective when it comes to Current Affairs, says the topper.
