Aashima Goyal is yet another Engineer turned civil servant as the youth increasingly try to find their calling in the services that allows them to contribute more directly to society. Hailing from an encouraging middle-class family from Faridabad, Aashima has done her MTech in Biotechnology from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi.
It was during her final year in IIT Delhi, that she witnessed many of her seniors securing top ranks in UPSC Civil Service Exams and got interested in the services. During her first attempt at UPSC Civil Service Exams, Aashima was still having a job. It was difficult to find time to study during the weekdays and she could barely manage more than four hours daily.
Aashima’s Suggestions to Aspirations
Writing an answer is an important aspect of the UPSC mains exam, and if a student has had enough practice then he can write excellent answers. Candidates should start writing answers in the gap between prelims and mains. Instead that three month gap should be dedicated to revising as much as possible. The answers should be written and practiced all year long.
The same goes for the Essays papers. It counts for 250 marks in your final total hence you should treat it with the same importance and respect as the GS papers. Writing and practicing at least 10 essays before you appear in the mains will give you a clear idea on how to answer these questions. One should always go through previous year papers.
