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... (
It's time to honor ur goal, ur objective is more significant than anything else, feel the @glory of UR goal, u are the real warrior, u have already beaten those who couldn't dare to try though they were interested in upsc but their conservative&overdefensive complacency prevailed over their passion but it doesn't go same in ur case, stick to your purpose, ur purpose itself is enough to motivate you & guide to accomplish ur mission... Never ever care for those janta who even couldn't dare to fight such battle..
@Drdabang thanks......it's not the end but a new beginning.... will never give up on my goals... !!
Failed to get through prelims . written mains last year(but failed) , got a job through CGL . But cant leave civils . UPSC is a pure gamble . Looking forward for 2016 civils . we need to gather our strenghts and fight back .
This is what I'd written last year after appearing for 2013 interviews and failing 2014 prelims : Hope it helps some of you to calm your nerves! To all those who couldn't clear prelims( including me) here's something I'd like to share- it was my 2nd attempt this year I'd gone up to the interviews last year and missed final selection by 20 marks! Anyways sharing a friend's story- this year's AIR-14 Went to the interviews in his first attempt failed in Hindi exam in 2nd and couldn't clear prelims in the 3rd. However the thought of quitting never crossed his mind and he went onto grab AIR 14 In his 4th attempt.There's a reason why this is known as the toughest exam in the country and also probably the most cruel of all of them and trust me failure always makes you a better person than success does. Having failed at the final hurdle last year I think this is less painful bcos I now have one full year to strategize and so do you all.Had I managed to clear prelims I don't think I couldve achieved much in 60 days,so its up to you whether you want to see it as a failure or blessing in disguise. Also once you are over the line no one is going to ask you how old you are or how many attempts you took to reach there.All that would matter is how good a person you are. I am sorry for such a long write up but had been reading a lot of depressing posts since the morning. Finally, 'You don't have to justify your dreams to anyone, they are yours and yours alone'
Out! Was expecting 103 min. Gen. 5th attempt wrote last 4 mains. Attempted 1 interview. Was well prepared for mains. Joined two test series as well. I don't even know what to do anymore. This whole exam is a big big gamble now. Even if you clear pre in mains you can get peanuts. Even if you clear mains you might get low marks in interview. I don't have any courage left for playing this game. Anybody any suggestions?
