Civil Services Mains 2020 Results: In or Out ? Way ahead, gratitude and Pain

In. 3rd mains, 3rd interview (sociology). Overall 6th attempt.

I went through many comments. Therefore,I wanted to share some of my experiences which might help some.

Those who could not make it please understand : 

  •  Time would heal your pain. You have to showcourage. 
  • Do not give attempt when you are not fully prepared. Means you must have completed 70% - 80% of your mains syllabus before prelims.
  • Do not get emotionally attached to the exam. I remind you , please don't !
  • If you have given 3 attempts, then please secure a job. A job which could provide around 5 hours of study time. Do not think about what your friends and relatives would think about you. Let them assume  you are a losser.
  •  there is set pattern of writing answers which would atleast ensure interview call. Find that pattern. Best way is to go through toppers copy.
  • I always remind myself one quote ofBuddha" the mind is everything, what you think, you become". 

For those who made it 1st time.

  • Do not celebrate to much. 
  • Interview is most important stage according to me. E.g me and my one friend got similar marks in mains, but he got 193 in interview and I stuck at 160. He got IRS(IT) and I failed .
  • We need to put same effort as we have given during mains.
