[Official ] Interview Preparation 2021 - Ask Questions, Debates and Doubts, Hobbies, Home State

@Neyawn I dont have any special hobbies as such.

I like watching and playing cricket and watching tennis(can tell about them.Will prepare court dimensions,indian players etc.)So what do I do here?

My 2nd doubt is I m from decent ug college,had highest marks there.immediately Post that I did mba from 1 of the old iim.Then jumped in upsc prep since may 2018.

Did badly in 2019 attempt.

How do I justify my gap of 2.5 years despite passing from good ug and pg college.

Wouldnt they tell u r wasting national talent by preparing without job,wasted someones seat etc.Gap could have been justified if I cleared in 2019 as 1 year prep would have looked decent.How do I justify this?I can get a fake work ex certificate(I have knowledge about it for the period from feb 2020 till now).But is it advisable?If not how to justify this gap?

If u have some example of people ffom good colleges taking more than 1 full fledged attempt to clear upsc ,please share.

I feel like a burden on myself having rejected a 6 figure salary post mba,lurking in darkness since 2.5 years plus the lack of confidence after failing failed to clear in 2019 in killing me as I have never failed in an exam before

These days I cry my eyes out and tears dry whenever i think pf my current situation)

Please shed some light...

Please a humble request.I feel lost out how to go about in this period.Should i prepare for interview,practise ans writing,look for job or give other exams like bank po(whenever i think of filling such exams i fall further in my eyes as I have always been a brilliant student and going in a bank job after iim is further killing me)

@SunnyParashar Any fellow aspirant here who is in a similar situation here?Or know someone who faced similar problem and later got a decent rank.

Please help, help

Preparing far away from delhi with noone to interact to about prep has taken its toll

Somebody help.

@kartikeybhatt171778 I have tried to but i see people here discussing that people with no work ex get poor marks in interview,a gap of more than 1 attempt results in bad marks.This got me worried

How r people so confident of clearing mains?I know some people who r preparing full fledged for interview.I m also preparing little bits but whenever I try to extend those interview study hours anxiety catches up and I start looking back at mains questions and answers again

Oh, don’t do that. Give the Interview Prep not more than 3-5 hours a day, unless you want to frustrate yourself .

Thanks a lot sir.Your words are the sole survival medicine in these days of anxiety

thanks man....final result 20-22 ko ayega is hisab se. 27 ko pre. 
pre k liye simultaneously padna padega else it will be impossible. thinking of skipping. what are you guys doing?

Skipping 2021 for sure.Already 3 year into this prep.This was my best attempt.Had nothing more to offer from my side.Completely exhausted.Ab books kholne ka man nahi karta,attempt to door ki baat hai.Have found a job.Joining is on 28th june.Baaki jo aage hoga kismat mein ho jayega.Ab puri life bhagwan ke haath pe leave kar di hai.

Your plan?
