UPSC CSE 2024 Related Discussion

Hello, good people of Forum. I used to be an occasional voice last year, struggling with basic things like consistency. A little life update: I took a break from the exam cycle some months before 2023 pre, and convinced my parents to let me pursue masters in another city– a relief from three years of lockdown. Over the last few months, my anxiety has healed and I have enjoyed my masters thoroughly.

The upsc keeda has been at the back of my mind all throughout. Over the last few days, it has matured, so that now I have entered the prep, officially.

Today is only the second day of prep and i opened Forum after a long time. The very first thread was about brilliant people not clearing mains. Not a very good start I'd say.

Have given two attempts before, and failed pre both times. Its mid Dec already, i don't think i can afford not to prepare for pre directly. More so because I'll be appearing for Haryana PCS and CSIR CASE in Feb (heads up for anyone looking for a backup!). I can't start slow.

My prep from here on will be pre oriented, but will keep covering optional too (Haryana gives v little time between pre and mains, and having attempted it's pre  without any prep, m almost sure I'll get through. Haryana has the exact same syllabus as upsc, thankfully).

That is all. I am more nervous than excited honestly, but it does feel good. Will be posting my targets from today on.

Cheers! 🌻
