Tanu Priya! Rank 18, CSE 2012 Roll number: 446782 Optional Subjects: Political Science and Sociology Number of Attempts: 1 Name of college of passing out: GOVT. DENTAL COLLEGE,PGIMS,ROHTAK % in class 10: 92.2% % in class 12: 88.4% Did you join any Coaching? No Did you join any postal courses? No Did you join any Mock test series? No Inception: For one it was a childhood dream.The other reason was my self realization that I had very diverse interests and civil services would be a good career option. Plus during my work in the hospital I realized that I needed some positive power in order to bring a change in the existing system thatsometimes is very insensitive to the needs of the weak and oppressed. Study Momentum: Motivation can be strong only if it is internal. Thankfully I have had to read only once or twice so interest alone helped me stay afloat. I usually gave myself a treat and did not study on Saturday nights this keptme fresh for next week. For coping with mood swings I had conversations with my good friends and family and watched a movie in a while. How many months did it take you to complete the core syllabus of GS and optional subjects? For pre it was 3-4 months. But since I had always done everything in detail I had to give less time for gsduring mains preparation. I had not done anyone subject in isolation after mains so I prepared both optionals and gs in 4 months after pre. Instead of two, now UPSC will have only one optional subject. So if you were to give Mains 2013, which optional would you keep and why? Sociology, because it’s a very dynamic subject. There is always something new to discover about the world we live in. Basically same except I would expand my booklist. There were so many books to read that I skipped due to the shortage of time. In fact after mains I bought this Haralambos and Holborn and read it, it’s a wonderful book. Your booklist/strategy for compulsory Regional language paper ? Nothing except I bought a Hindi newspaper on the day of exam and read it. Your booklist/strategy for compulsory English language paper? Nothing special. Which Essay did you write in Mains-2012? Working woman one. Many aspirants fear the interview, thinking that “my profile is not good because I’ve low marks in SSC/HSC/College, I don’t have any extra- curricular certificates, I don’t have work experience, I graduated from some unknown college, I’m from non-English medium and so on…” what’s your taken on this? I think it might be a conversation starter but it’s not the only criteriayou are evaluated upon. If you have a pleasant personality, honesty and integrity and intelligence (based on board’s evaluation) then nothing matters. Your personality has to tower upon everything else in your profile. Family and Friends: My parents and my friends. My college friends were more confident of my success than even myself. When I would be like “ no yar, it doesn’t look possible I haven’t yet done this and that” , they would say “ tu pagal hai kya, tera nahi hoga to kiska hoga.” Who was the chairman of you interview board? Sri P.K.Mishra How long was the interview? 30-35 min. Did you join any Coaching? No — [[212092162278310]] admin=>H.H.
