AIR 9 • UPSC CSE 2024 • Optional: Anthropology
I've always been fascinated by the world of politics and governance. Growing up, I was exposed to various social and economic issues that sparked my curiosity. I knew I wanted to make a difference, but I wasn't sure how.
My journey began with a solid foundation in the basics - history, geography, and polity. I spent countless hours reading and revising, making sure I understood the concepts thoroughly. I also joined a coaching institute to get guidance and support.
One of the biggest challenges I faced was balancing my studies with other responsibilities. I had to juggle my job, family, and social life while preparing for the exam. It was tough, but I managed to stay focused and motivated.
To overcome the challenges, I developed a few strategies that worked for me. I created a schedule and stuck to it, allocating specific times for studying and relaxing. I also made sure to take breaks and engage in physical activities to maintain my physical and mental health.
The interview experience was exhilarating and intimidating at the same time. I was nervous but tried to stay calm and composed. The panel asked me a mix of general and subject-specific questions, and I did my best to answer them confidently.
Securing rank 9 was a dream come true. It was the result of my hard work, determination, and perseverance. I learned that with the right mindset and strategies, anything is possible.
