Introduction
Q. Tell us something about yourself, your family, when and why did you enter in this field of competitive exams?
I hail from a rural agricultural family from a small village Amistapur in Mahabub nagar dist of Telangana state. The circumstances and environment in which I have grown up always compelled to study hard. I’m more of hardworking type with consistency which helped me to excel in studies since my childhood.
I always wanted to work in a prestigious position. So, for this, civil services seemed to be the right choice for me. Through which, I can inspire and motivate a lot of people in my neighborhood. After B.E, I headed to IIT Delhi (MTech)for civil services preparation in 2009. After an yr of MTech, I had to drop course in between to give mains. With the lack of clear guidance, I gave first 3 attempts without complete preparation. But from 2014 onwards, took the exam seriously by availing leaves whenever possible.
Electronic Vs Paper material
Q. In recent times, there is spur in electronic material- blogs, sites, pdfs, RSS-feeds. Many aspirants feel bogged down by this information overload. So, how much do you rely on electronic material and how much on the paper material (Books, newspapers)? If possible, narrate a typical day in your study life. What is your style of preparation (e.g. I continue making notes no matter what I’m reading, I just read multiple times but don’t maintain notes, I make mindmaps on computer …or xyz style)
Ans: In recent years most of the preparation is being done on internet. Important websites are mrunal.org, insights, and wiki pages.
From these sources making short notes helped me a lot in revision time.
Tempo and style
Q. People know what books and syllabus points are to be prepared. But most of them lack consistency in their preparation. So, how do you keep study momentum going on? How do you fight against the mood swings and distractions?
Ans: For most of us, Civil services exam is little gamble, unpredictable and of bit lucky. But perseverance plays crucial role in getting into it. With constant motivation received from success stories of fellow aspirants helped me a lot in maintaining hope and confidence.
Struggle of a Senior player
Q1. How did you survive through this mental prison and what’re your words of wisdom to other senior players? If any specific inspirational incident(s), please share.
Ans: Avoid repeating mistakes.
Keep your efforts sincerely, true to your hearts, Then chances of success would be high.
Q2. What went wrong in your previous attempt? What changes did you make in this current attempt?
Ans: In first 4 attempts, I was busy with my job in ONGC. Didn’t take much time out of job for preparation(Other thing is that, As it was first job and also very rich PSU, I got saturation in my mind with the salary I was getting over there). So, could not do the much needed enough preparation.
But in 2014 attempt, I took 3 months leave before mains exam. Everything went well and unexpectedly, I got low score in Mech Engg optional, just 180. So, Couldn’t make it to the final list(gave interview).
This year, I practiced more old question papers. May be that worked well in my optional.
Working professional
If you’re a working professional, share some tips on how to manage studies with job
Ans: You can’t justify both preparation and job with 100% effectiveness. So try to have continous self motivation towards preparation and use the office time(liesure) effectively for preparation.
And take whatever leaves possible for serious and thorough preparation.

Q. Many candidates found Mains-2015 Ethics paper very peculiar and “out of the book”. What are your observations and tips for future aspirants regarding preparation of this paper?
Yes. This time ethics paper was quite unpredictable when it comes to case study part. But theory part was good and general. When it comes to answering, Firstly our writing speed has to be very much faster so that we can cover each and every question of ethics paper. Secondly, whatever basics we know in ethics subject, we have to analyze the questions on these lines and present the discussion well on paper. Then it surely helps us, however the paper and questions may be.
Mains answer-writing?
Please tell us how many marks worth attempt did you give? along with comments if any, in the following cells:
Paper | Best attempted | Average quality | namesake answer | Total attempt |
GS1 | One question left | |||
GS2 | Full(but one answer was entirely wrong) | |||
GS3 | One question left | |||
GS4 | 20 marks left | |||
Opt-P1 | 205 | 25 | – | 230 |
Opt-P2 | 110 | 70 | – | 180 |
Almost all the questions are in my knowledge. So tried to attempt all. But due to time constraint, I had to skip one question in each paper.
Q. How was your experience with the ‘fixed space’ answer sheet?
Ans: Not at all a problem
Q. Did you write answers in bullet points or in paragraphs? Some players (who cleared mains and got interview call letter) were claiming that they wrote entire paper in bullet points, so it doesn’t matter….whether examiner is asking ‘examine, comment, discuss or xyz’….simply write in bullets and points.
Ans: Mostly bullet format
Q. Did you follow the “introduction-body-conclusion” format? because some mains-qualified candidates claim they simply wrote the points they could recall within the time, instead of bothering with proper introduction and conclusion.

ANs: No

Q. What’s your optional subject and why did you chose it and not something else?
Ans: Mechanical Engg
Q. If a new player wants to pick this subject, would you advice for it or against it? (e.g. every senior player in Public Administration seems to be advising against pub.ad)
Ans: Please don’t take this optional. As I feel effort to benefit ratio is more here.
Q. First the essential book/resource list. (Also mention which one is the “Base book” for covering the theory? + Whatever comments you’ve for a particular book e.g. “my seniors said read xyz book but I found that ABC book was better”. “xyz topic not given properly in this book, so prepare from xyz website or book…” OR and so on.)

Executed back up plan from starting only.
Views on UPSC reforms
What are your views on following issues
Q. Your views on the decision to make CSAT paper 33% qualifying?
It made the exam much tough. I think some weightage around 40% is to be given to CSAT as well.
Q. Despite what UPSC has done in recent years, it has failed to curb the nuisance of Delhi’s coaching factories. In fact it’s increased under the new Mains-syllabus in 2014. Let’s face it, most candidates who gave Mains-2014 have relied on (authentic OR Xeroxed) coaching notes because there was hardly any time left to prepare so many topics in such short time. This system work against an individual preparing from far-away area, without any financial resources, high-speed internet or contacts in Delhi.
Though coaching institutions getting much popularity, but in reality candidates who sincerely prepared their notes and constantly worked are getting the success.
But one needs to have decent speed internet connection in the present age competition atmosphere to be in touch with reality.
Q. Half-merger of IFoS with CSE is a bad move because it has raised the cutoffs for players who’re solely dedicated to IFoS only (and not to IAS/IPS). Adding salt to the wounds, many who had applied for both jobs, cleared the prelims- they did not even bother to appear in all the papers of Mains-IFoS. (atleast that was the scene in 2013).
Ans: I support this merger move.
Q. UPSC should disclose official prelim answerkey and cutoffs, immediately after prelim is over, instead of postponing it till interview phase is over.
Yes it helps us all. But UPSC never does it.
Q. UPSC should be conducted online like IBPS and CAT exam to shorten the duration of exam.
No
Q. If you are made the UPSC chairman, what other reforms would you initiate for the civil service exam?
1. Limit the age
2. Interview weightage has to be reduced to limit the subjectivity.
3. Category should not be shown on interview summery / DAF sheet.
4. No space limit for engineering optional papers.( As they are providing unscientific spacing.. one page contains question in half part.. and we are forced to write the answers and all steps in the remaining half page)
5. Give weightage to prelims marks also J
Insecurity about profile
Q. Many candidates prepare sincerely but constantly live under fear about ‘profile insecurity’. I’m not from a big college, I’m not from English medium, and I don’t have work-experience. What if they ask some stressful questions in the interview about this? Did you suffer from such insecurities? What is your message to these candidates?
I didn’t face any such insecurity. But ultimately confidence matters, how we are answering.
Wisdom
Q. Through this struggle and success, what have your learned? What is the wisdom of life and competition? What is your message to the new aspirants?
Perseverance is to be there to clear this exam. Luck definitely helps hard work. Arise awake and stop not till the goal is reached !!!
Q. Many hardworking candidates have failed in Mains/Interview of CSE-2014. They’re feeling cynical, hopeless and depressed- what is your message to them?
Ans: UPSC is certainly unpredictable. We should have optimism until the last minute. Fortune surely favours hardwork some day.
Credit: Friends/family
Q. Behind every topper are many people who stood by during those uncertain times when he/she was merely an ‘aspirant’. Would you like to tell the world, who were those people in your case? Any specific incidence that you would like to share with the readers?
ANS: Friends such as Pratap, Hari both, fortunately, were also co aspirants made my prep easy.
And especially my friends success stories such as Rishav Gupta inspired me a lot.
My parents, Uncle always motivated me for this.
Last but not the least Mrunal, Insight success stories helped me.
BOGUS Marketing Propaganda
Q. You are well aware of the sacred rule of conducting toppers interview- the last question must be about self-marketing. So, Did you use Mrunal.org for your preparation and if yes, how did it help you? And you can even reply “No”. I’ll still publish your answer without tempering.
I used mrunal.org regularly for last three years. It helped me a lot. But in the last yr, mrunal didn’t upload the sufficient material for mains revision.
Congratulations Teja :)

This is so great. Thank you so much. I was just in a dilemma if I should aim for civil services, or is it too late for it. And I find this. I was just browsing through pages, and I see Osmania University and Mechanical Engineering. I was just thinking of all the constraints I have, but by reading this, I’ve realized that the constraints hardly matter if you have the determination.
By the way. I’m your junior, from Osmania University. Mechanical.
