WHY CIVIL SERVICES? :

  • Utkarsh Dwivedi finished his secondary education at Delhi Public School (DPS) in Indore.
  • Following this, he secured admission at the Vellore Institute of Technology in Tamil Nadu, where he pursued a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering.
  • Utkarsh was resolute about clearing the UPSC exam right from the beginning, which led him to commence his UPSC preparation during his time in engineering college.
  • Despite achieving a 5th rank in the UPSC exam, he faced disappointment in the Personality Test twice, failing to make it onto the final merit list.
  • He underwent the IAS interview in both 2019 and 2020, receiving scores of 160 and 157, respectively
  • Unfortunately, these scores fell short of the threshold required for UPSC clearance.

UTKARSH'S PREPARATION STRATEGY:

  • Utkarsh Dwivedi advises UPSC aspirants to select optional subjects based on their personal interests rather than following the choices of high achievers or popular suggestions.
  • This approach allows students to become more engaged and gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
  • In terms of UPSC preparation, he advocates the regular perusal of newspapers like The Hindu, Indian Express, and Mint.
  • Consistent newspaper reading aids in clarifying concepts and bolstering one's grasp of national, social, and international affairs
  • Additionally, he recommends that students take their own notes while reading newspapers, books, or journals
  • These notes prove invaluable in the final stages of the exam, when time is limited, as they facilitate revision of previously acquired knowledge and make information retrieval more efficient.
  • Avoid any form of interaction with individuals at the center, both before and after the exam. Refrain from discussing the paper until the mains officially conclude.
  • Prioritize completing the paper over striving for perfection in answers, ensuring no questions are left unaddressed towards the end.
  • A fully answered paper with above-average responses greatly enhances your chances of securing an interview.
  • This advice comes from someone who has undergone three interviews across three attempts.
  • If possible, aim to provide comprehensive responses throughout the paper. Quantity of content does matter. However, this shouldn't lead to a situation where you find yourself rushed in the final half-hour.
  • Focus on four key aspects:
    • Address what is specifically asked, not just what you know.
    • Recognize subparts and address each of them.
    • Do not overlook writing introductions and conclusions.
    • Utilize contemporary examples to support your points.
  • Remember, this is a test of your mental and physical resilience. Don't give up until the very last moment of the second paper in the optional subject.
  • If a paper doesn't align with your expectations, don't be disheartened. You might still excel and become the top scorer in that particular paper (as happened with me in my optional).
  • In UPSC, uncertainty is the only constant. Therefore, never let yourself panic in any question.
  • If you're uncertain, don't fret. Attempt to write down whatever you can. Every mark counts.
  • The essay paper holds significant weight and can be quite challenging. My scores for the last two years in the essay section were 103 and 111, respectively.
  • It's crucial to allocate ample time to grasp the essay topic. If you've accomplished this, you've already made significant progress in the essay paper.
  • Starting with the 15-mark questions can be beneficial. Strive to extract the maximum marks from these questions.
