  • Writing this exam since 2011...wrote 2 consecutive mains....failed next 2 prelims...this year was in....left a lucrative job and a dream opportunity to higher studies ( if u guys know daad scholarship in Germany).... Had a turning point (love life) where i went against my family and I thought leaving full fledged studies and give tutions but my family supported me....thanks to them.....but I was prepared since then....ppl started doubting and pouring sympathies as if I can't do it...may b I still can't but I never needed their superficial sympathies....I cleared pre this time with a job n very less time to study....may b I won't clear mains or won't be able to make to final list.... But friends remember one thing, this is just an exam....100s of ppl become ias and similar number is and other services... Only few actually gain respect or r even contented with their lives...at the end of the day u shud have that feeling even when u fail..baaki duniya to bakwaas karegi aur wo aapke ias,ips ke baad bhi karegi...just b truthful to urself.... Civils is not the end of it dream leave alone ur life....atb for ur future endeavors even if that is not civils...atb...musa bhai ka Hi example dekh lo....I truely appreciate his endeavors.... Atb
    ...I too have been there n played the gamble many times...I can feel what u r right now
    bhai this is correct that civils is not everything and even 10-20% IAS leave their job for various reasons.

    But please enlighten what else can be done? and how to start that when anyone has no job experience before with 4 year of gap after graduation.

  • Couldn't make it. Its tough to miss it by a whisker! Appeared in 2012 once - straight out of college - studied for 20 days got through comfortably. Didn't write mains that year since job demanded a lot. Worked for 3 years, left job this year at a salary of 20 lakhs PA.. thought of chasing my dreams ... was scoring between 102- 105, started studying for Mains too. Failed big time. Now will be back to my old profession. IAS/IFS dream shattered for once and for all.
  • meri halat gambhir ho gai hai......saala college ke baad seedhe tyari mein 2 saal marvai....output zero ....private m ab koi 20 hazar ki job bhi ni dega n government m lg ni raha ki agle ek saal tk kahin hoga.....saare effort upsc m hi laga die the.....!!!...i was getting 108+ from vaji. but in assholes ki key bhi bekar thi .Feeling fucked....cursing the day when i decided to prepare for this exam..... aim of the life was to serve nation,help poor n women empowerment that's why i decided..but ab to apne survival k lalle pad gae hai.Girlfriend ne chod dia....fb band kr di coz friends ghumne ki pics daalte hai,bars ki,class k lulu bacche bhi foreign m job karr rahe hai....whatsapp pr do do din tak kisi k msg ni aate......100 ruppe ka balane mahine bhar chal jata hai....this shows my social life....ghrwalo k paisso pr parasite feel karta hun.....n worst part is this wo mujhe ab bhi support kar rahe hai....ki koi baat nahi......baap achi post pr hai to rishtetdaar daang marke rakhte hai expectation se...choti moti job bhi ni kar sakta..... !!
    Kya karun mera ab to humanity se wishwas hi uth gaya.....jo log selfish the, they are happy....enjoying there life with every sensual pleasure.....they never bother about country n parents ...emotionless n they are happy....n look at me i tried to fulfill my parents dream i m suffering... :((
    hahaha.... bas 2 saal me hil gaye?? never lose hope.. ye bas words ya ghisi piti line nhi maa raha hu mai.. hope nhi to life becomes aimless.. you are not a parasite for living off of your parents money... jab job lagegi to kisne roka hai tumhe unhe sukh dene se?? tab karna tum..abhi bas padho.. khoob ratte maaro.. koi ngo join karlo taki real life dekh sako...relax
  • Lesson learnt from upsc

    1. Either have a score of atleast 140+ in pre ..else 100 ke aad pass aya toh upsc dukh de degi.

    2. Prepare hard..fod do sale ko..not only pre but mains too..asa padh lo k bas...upsc bhi hil jaye.

  • Hi everyone,

    Saddens me to see so many hard working and well deserving candidates to be left out this year. This was my fourth attempt but first failure at Pre stage. Hurts a lot, but I am also relieved somewhere deep down. The exam had taken a toll on my health, mental and physical, and reduced my social life skills to negligible. I want to take a long break, for at least a month or two, and think on whether I really have the strength and will to go through all those books and material. I mean, how many times can you underline the same words, over and over again?

    But for all others, I offer my honest advise. Please join a part time job, maybe in an NGO or as a content writer to keep you engaged and provide some decent pocket money. Such jobs will also assist you in networking and keeping an open mind. As far as UPSC goes, I think Nishkaam Karma is the only way to go about. That way, we will never be stressed or make silly mistakes in exam again. It is not without a reason that the philosophy of Gita has withstood the test of time!
