Күн бұрын

This is an open session - where I took all the questions and answers about UPSC Prelims 2023, how to prepare for UPSC Exam in 2024, how to think about Plan B. We also spoke about what are my thoughts on this years UPSC examination - and why some people are unnecessarily creating issue about it.
We also spoke about why you should avoid traps, and what are those traps in preparing for civil services.
This was an open session - where nothing specific was taught - but all questions were taken from MisFitters who recently became part of this beautiful journey.
Do write to me, if you are crumbling under pressure because of a few bad decisions you made in your 20s. . Life is definitely more than an exam that the British created to recruit loyal servants.

It's evident from the figures that we are not able to utilize our demographic dividend appropriately. Also, due to the demand and supply constraints very few candidates are able to live their dreams by getting selected while the dreams of the majority of people are getting trampled. Most productive time of our lives is getting destroyed inside our rooms to just mug-up things which would not be much relevant in upcoming future irrespective of our selection. Situation is really grim.😐

I had taken a year long classes at Vajiram in the first attempt, studied on my own for the other two attempts. MisFits classes are very different, and the kind of learning that you will have is unique. I'm absolutely loving the classes so far! Good luck

CSAT will be easy next year, so relax. For the CSAT, you have to be exceptionally good in either English, logical reasoning or math. CSAT is causing issues for students with Humanities and Medical backgrounds. But if you are good at English or logical reasoning, Then I think you are good to go.

Also is it compulsory for one to give interview in english if he/she has filled IFS in the services preferences ( not at the top most preference but in top 5 preferences)???

@namanshrivastava Жыл бұрын

No - you may opt for Hindi in the interview panel. (at least that was the case when I gave my interview - albeit, mine was in English). You can write the mains in English, and the interview could be in Hindi. Do check latest rules, however.

All my life I wanted to be an ifs but now I feel so disappointed with myself and I am not happy with my current job. Can you advise me about this?

@namanshrivastava Жыл бұрын

These are minor issues. To be honest, for the time that you'd spend in Delhi as an IFS - most of it would be spent in Lutyens Delhi - it's one of the best parts of Delhi. Additionally, you can always ask for deputations with state governments (although, there are limitations), you could also apply for regional offices of MEA (when in India)
