I (One of Civil s aspirant as like you) seen some of the candidates who had failed in prelims, mains, last attempt candidate’s attending exam with low confidence levels, Even worst situation is that the candidates who had cleared all the rounds in his last attempt and failed in interview test.

1^st time, 2^nd time, 3^rd time, 4^th time, (OC- Over) 5^th time, 6^th time, 7^th time (BC-over), 8^th time….SC, ST that’s life we have to accept everything the failure and success.

The greatness in civil services is that “What Ever you learn” for the examination is “What you have to face and deal in real time” and in other words we can say that what you are studying is what you are going to deal after entering services the more perfection you get when understanding the situations the power you get to deal with the things, that the civil s, enjoy the art of learning and dealing the real things of life and society

The success in not that comes from studying the books, but the zeal to learn and the commitment to achieve the path you are aspiring for, that’s all it matter, hard work has its own value, its pay you at one or other time.

All the best aspirants
