  • Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

    Also stanilas wawrinka got this tattoed on his left arm!
  • Has been working in SBI as po for 6 months now... Took up the job and was preparing... Flunked prelims ... With po it's very difficult if not impossible to prepare especially during probationary period where transfers are ever 3 months... But it's important to have a back up especially with mercurial nature of upsc ... I m too in delimma as to try for some other job and prepare or continue with the same job


    Dont ever ever leave your job. I have suffered after 4 failed attempts.You never know what upsc has in store for you.

  • I've started attempting CSE from 2012 and I've exhausted 3 attempts till now. Since the govt has increased 2 attempts for all categories from 2014, can I've still 3 more attempts (for OC originally 4 + 2 = 6 attempts?)
    Pls help me on this.
    Yes
    bhai 1 attempt toh pakka hai...baki Feb-16 me report aa hi raha hai...vo log to aaj tak ke saare reports review kar rahe hai

    so age may get reduced to 26,
    attempt may get reduced to 4
    remaining single optional may get removed
    interview pattern may change
    some 1-2 gs papers may get added...
    CSAT may be reinstated

    but this all will be clear by feb 16 if they did not extend the deadline.

    Aisa kuch nahi hone wala h....
    Sarkar m dam nahi h....
  • Failed in first attempt. But all geared up for next attempt. Cheer up guys. Its not the end of life. Its just an exam.
  • So, I failed to clear the prelims this time, absolutely devastated. In the csat era prelims used to be a cakewalk, I wrote 2 mains and came very close to an interview. This was my 3rd attempt and I wanted it to be my last, I was scoring between 98-102. Now I don't know what to do ahead, I was very well prepared for mains this time, I want to give another attempt but can't sit back for another year. Any other previous mains or interview giver who couldn't clear this time, please share your views.
    @Tyrion_lanister
    same here bro... wrote previous two mains and was close to interview ...this time worked well on my weaknesses and was eager to write mains.....but cant write now.... another 10 months of hard work has not materialised again.... dont know how hold this eagerness for atleast another 15 months....
  • I work in an oil & gas maharatna for last 2 yrs.......This is my 2nd attempt and could not clear prelims this time. My colleagues and boss know about my prep and keep asking me how is my prep. I am devastated.....I have been the worst performer in my batch and have fought with several seniors who wanted me to lick their boots. I don't know what to do nxt. Either to leave the job to prep for nxt yr or continue in the shithole.

    I just have 1 hope of APFC.....

    wat to do..........?
    bro when is the APFC exam?
