Hello @neyawn!
I graduated in 2017, took a decent paying software job (10+), worked for a year and then quit in June 2018. Took coaching from Vajiram during 2018-19. CSE 2019 was my first attempt. I cleared prelims and gave Mains, which went okayish (almost full attempted). After resting for 2-3 days, anxiety started to creep. Thoughts of joining back software job came, which might be because of lack of UPSC peer group.
Regarding gaps in my Mains preparation
- I did not take Essay coaching or test series in this attempt. Just wrote 5-6 essays and brainstormed about some more
- Optional (Sociology) notes, GS4 notes are ready.
- For GS2, GS3 - relied on standard sources (Laxmikanth, Mrunal, Shankar etc) and filled the gaps Vision value added material
I tried to study for RBI Grade B in October but have zero motivation for this exam, so this month was unproductive (but still managed to read TheHindu every day, sometimes coupled with videos.)
How should I move ahead from here?
Can you suggest some affordable classes which are held regularly so that I can get back to a routine?
I'm thinking of focusing on both, Pre+Mains as well as Interview till the results are out.
Thanks!
