CSE 2020 Results out! Best of Luck for Prelims 2021

I see administration as a profession that can help nurture and identify many more talents in science, sports and so many other fields. I think the people, who come here want to make a change in lives of others because comparatively easy money and life they could have got elsewhere like US. 

I don’t understand why u think a neurosurgeon a genius and not an IAS. S/he also became one due to passing of an exam and if u think it takes any extraordinary genius to crack NEET (earlier PMT) then I think u are mistaken.

I do not think that doctor, engineer, lawyer or others talent is wasted here. I don’t think it is a mediocre job for mere above average people. It takes the best of best, (mathematically 0.1%) and even they find it challenging. 

As per ur own words, u are a mere above average as u are preparing for this exam. Kindly reflect on ur own words, do u think u are more smart enough to decipher the absurdity of this exam than the geniuses? If yes, then either u are smarter or they are supposedly not so genius.

In ur next candid conversation with your so called geniuses, ask them to leave their so called over rated and crapy jobs and create more value in life. Tell them winning a Nobel prize is always better than living a disgruntled life. The choice should not be very difficult. 

OOps posted before reading other comments, I will also end. I should prepare for prelims, not the best time to argue. 

All the best to those who are writing prelims :)

Hello All,

This thread is about congratulating successful students, seeking inputs from them and what worked and what did not,

This thread is not about Civil Services Reforms. 

Stick to the thread mandate. 

First of all, real thanks for providing this platform! Congrats to@whatonly @AJ_  for ranks, been silent observer ☺️ Anyone here who struggled with general studies! Need to understand how to approach general studies. 2020 was 2nd attempt (2nd mains also) and 1st interview. Despite getting good marks in interview, i failed cutoff by a whisker due to extremely poor marks (79+76+76+87) as was case in 1st mains as well. I have made short notes, but what do i do regarding pointers, authors to be quoted, diagrams and structures. I feel like i will waste another year if i dont improve on it. I just dont know what is it that will improve my GS, i need to learn the approach that toppers are following or some element which i need to inculcate,may be! I lacked revision which i will improve certainly but what makes an answer in GS get marks, i know i am being vague but thats how vague i am about GS now.

 @whatonly @Neyawn and others please do suggest a good strategy to improve Generak studies ( although now might not be time to ask as prelims are gonna come but then i wont get another time to interact with toppers and get their inputs)

Hey,

I may not be as well read or educated as any other guys,but i just want to say to stop being so idealist.i mean we have to learn to celebrate our culture and show respect to the people following it.whatever happened with the topper was just the celebration of something great happening to a poor backward village.

Thank You Forum community. It's been a 6 year long association. Can't express my gratitude in words now. I will come again to do it.

any one with same issue?? The notice says marks are unavailable for only ifos students but i applied for both cse and ifos🤔

Many many congrats, Jagat! The last time someone said that from the community was leomessi10 :)

Six years with forum, and then finally selection in the IAS.

Quite a journey, it must have been!
