Hello everyone!Today I want to pour my heart out and also want some guidance. Basically, I am already iIN IRS since 2012. Cleared in the age of 23.however, wanted to be an IAS always. Went for an Eol. However, didn’t get interview call. Shattered my confidence. Married by batchmate. Field and family life kept me busy. This year , I realised that I had two attempts left, but getting age barred next year. So started preparing. As luck should have it, got pregnant.despite that, began preparing , only to see changed prelims date to October very close to my due date. Had a c section yet on 5th day went and gave prelims.however, not sure whether I will clear. Not blaming anyone. Just feeling that had I taken leave/eol while still not a mother, I would have fulfilled my dream. I am waiting for an extra attempt if possible as per Supreme Court direction.
You are a warrior.
IRS is an amazing job too. I understand that you want to go ahead and do IAS but where you are in life, you are already an inspiration to many, including me.
I hope you clear prelims this time and get a chance to achieve your second dream.
Congratulations on your baby :) May you both stay happy and healthy.
