Q.How did you
hear the good news?
A.I was in office when
the results were declared, and a friend informed me of the results. It came as a
shock! At first I did not believe but it but confirmed it through my brother. It
took a while to realise that it was not a dream.
Q.Who is the
inspiration behind your success?
A. My mentor
Prabhakaran sir (Director of Prabhas IAS Academy) and my parents. All have given
me ample confidence, motivation and have placed belief in me.
Q.How different was it in the second attempt? What made
you crack it?
A.I think one year’s
consistent preparation made the difference between the two attempts.
Q.What were
your optional subjects and why did you choose them?
A.Prelims – I
chose Public Administration due to easy availability of books and study
materials, availability of guidance and above all my interest.
Mains - I chose Public Administration and law, as law was my
graduation subject and I felt comfortable with the syllabus.
Q.How
was the interview? Can you recall any questions from the board members?
A.The interview board
was cordial. I answered to my satisfaction. There were one or two questions for
which I didn’t know the answer but I was frank with the board and told them the
truth that I did not know.
The questions were based on my profile and were based on the RTI Act, Lokpal
Bill etc.
Q.How good are
coaching institutes and what to be cautious of if you choose one?
A.Coaching centres are
a guiding light but it all ultimately comes down to your individual effort.
Attending mock tests would help a lot to ascertain where we stand. Choosing the
right centre would have to be made cautiously.
There are many money sucking institutes and we need to be careful not to get
into their hands and waste our money and time
