Brother, kya ap jaante ho main sabse jyada frustrated Kab Tha?? 

When I failed my first mains.. 

Couldn't sleep for 3-4daya after the result... 

This is the chillest mains I have appeared since I first appeared in 2016.

Reason??

Realisation that the nature of exam is such that either you are lucky, or you are born with talents that fits upsc criteria.. 

And most importantly I find money and peace in endeavours away from UPSC

My intention is  in no way to undermine the achievement of those who clear this exam. But to make newbies aware of the realities of this exam, so that the stress caused due this exam is powered, and no one wastes 5-6 years of their youthful year. 

Frustration Hota to UPSC jaakar todfod karta. Yaha keyboard warrior nahi Banta.. 


Bhai dil jeet lia aapne..turnover wali bat dekh ke dil khush ho gaya..5th attempt hai mera bhi to chije samajh sakta hu mai bhi...Jo hoga dekha jayega. Hope for best bhai ji ...hua to thik warna zindagi me kuch na kuch accha to karhi liye jayega.

@mahi2501 frustration bas isi baat ka Hai ki aaj Jo 10 cr turnover ki company banayi Hai Maine within a year, wo shayad 50-60 crore ki hoti agar 2016 me main UPSC chorke entrepreneur banta


That might have been true but ifs and buts toh kafi hote hai life me..you never know the intangible benefits you got from upsc preparation which might have helped in your entrepreneurial journey.. Finally in long run if you are to make it a few lakh crore company it won't matter when you started it.




Yes i do agree this exam takes a lot from you, even I'm a 5th attempter and still in upsc chakravyuh and newer aspirants should be made aware of the bitter truth rather than painting a rosy picture but at the end of the day its our choice to take this exam and worst of all ours only to continue taking it year after year, thinking this year will be the last one.


But at the same time i can see the difference in myself, the person that I'm today and what i was when i started preparation. Some of it may be just because of getting older and wiser but a lot of it is also due to upsc preparation and widening of horizons of thinking that it provides.


All the best for your future upsc as well as non-upsc endeavours.

Yes..not sure this time as there are many doubtful ones this time as points were not exactly plotted and state boundaries added to the clutter..also the proportions of physical and political are different so grid lines don't work that accurately..

But yeah even I'm in the range of 14-15

What happens if ur interpretation of essay is a little different? For eg . The time to repair the roof is when the sun is shining - i understood it to be do whatever needs to be done at the right time or when conditions are favourable and wrote whole essay on that line. Like i also gave a few examples jahanpe doing things too early may also not be right due to conditions not being favourable. But mostly ppl are saying we have to take interpretation as jfkennedy said ie being proactive . If someone has prior experoence then in such a case does the examiner give a little less marks ya fir ekdum 10-15 marks hi milte h

@AyehshaS  In same situation. Interpreted you cannot step twice in same river as you cannot commit same mistakes again and again. But river as per quote is time and not mistake.

I am on mercy of paper checker. But still your interpretation is related to subject. Umeed pe duniya  kayaam hai.
