Mains 2022 - All Papers PDF + R**** Rona + Paper Discussion
Guys, Essay Paper is over. How was it?
Out ! Maths optional, last attempt!!
Congratulations to all those cleared ...deserve all appreciation !!
From crying my heart out in first attempt after missing prelims cutoff by few margin to accepting mains failure in last attempt with a smile ! The beautiful journey ends with the undesirable result. Unemployed for 5 years , one MUST MUST have a backup plan .
Over to rbi grade b 2023 ! Hope to rise from ashes !
My learnings for new comers and old timers as follows(I've cleared IIT-JEE twice and prelims too, so I think some things could help others):
1. Its too easy to get swayed by people who got selected. This exam is a graveyard of smart, hardworking, genuine people. Nothing guarantees success. Its easy for people to shower motivation, it doesn't cost them anything. But getting fooled by them and hanging out on that motivation is gambling precious time in hope of something that is highly subjective in nature. (Basically motivation dene me kuch nai jata, lene me saal thuk jata hai)
2. People might say its all worth it, but in these years, the sacrifices that I and my family has made are not worth it. My father is in IPS and I've seen his life upclose. The charm of power-respect-prestige fades away and the govt makes you work like a dog with no personal life. Nothing is more important than health, family and mental peace.
3. We over-glorify hard work, success and romanticise the sacrifices. Its easier to keep trying, but it talkes more courage to actually say "NO". Just studying day in and day out is a good comfortable zone with no external accountability. Also, we're afraid of going out and facing the world. Studying, is more predictable and less scary. The more we postpone facing it, the harder it will get. It hence takes courage to exit the process and put your ego aside.
4. Results are no reflection of competency. The people that UPSC selects becomes all sorts of stuff. We daily read about IAS officers scamming for crores, running sex rackets, cheating in the exam, culting crores of MGNREGA funds meant for poor people. UPSC is not god, neither is their judgement perfect. Hence, there's no point in judging yourself through their mirror. You're special and will do something good in life

You've spoken my mind. Thank you :)
Out ho gaye
Little shocked but anyway I was severely disillusioned by the exam process 😅 (No intention to demotivate anyone) Totally fatigued as gave it all I could
A good bye to this preparation. Time to focus on my law degree 😁
All the best to all those who got in 🙂. May the force be with you ❤️
What do you mean by, you were totally disillusioned by exam process?
See, it's very difficult for me to describe this disillusionment publicly for the following reasons
1. A lot of people will plainly reject me as a person jiske liye "Angoor Khatte hai" and who is not ready to see his own mistakes or self criticise (Trust me if you can but I am my biggest & most brutal critic)
2. As a responsible member, I don't want to demotivate my younger friends who are fighting day in and day out towards the next attempt
3. My disillusionment will add little value to anybody's preparation. A lot of seniors have already given practical advices. I have nothing to add at all

I have huge respect for everyone including you in this community. No exam can make anyone more worthy than us@vaibhavvdash75610 has written very aptly. I guess the whole social media and Youtube are showing only one side of this exam. No one talks about the painful 'failure' stories. Either their algorithm works that way or no one wants to hear the other side. Click baits like one attempt, without coaching, only NCERTs are presenting a hunky-dory picture, and we consider them as truths especially when we are just starting the preparation!
More power and best wishes for the future@GaneshGaitonde
