Civil Services Examination conducted by the Union Public Service Commission for recruitment to various Civil Services of the Government of India.

Take a moment to absorb the result—whatever it may be.

I’ve stood on both sides of this journey—missing Prelims once by 0.66 marks, and also clearing it four times in a row. I know the feeling. I remember my hands trembling while checking the result everytime.

Spend time with your family and loved ones today. Be kind to yourself.

For those who’ve cleared – congratulations!
This is your green signal to shift gears—prepare for Mains at 120 kmph. The war bugle has sounded. No time to waste.

For those who couldn’t make it –
Take a few days to rest and reflect. Then start preparing for Mains. Yes, Mains.
This is the best stage to fail in UPSC—it gives you the time and space to sharpen your axe without being under Mains pressure. Don’t let this window slip by.

In either case, I’m here for you as much as I can be. Let’s keep moving. Together.

This compilation (along with active recalling questions) was prepared along with my dear friend Vipul Garg (IFS, CSE 2023, Assam cadre).

Huge shoutout to him for being my constant during this prep — daily Google Meets, unending discussions, and most importantly, for helping me realise the power of a strong and close peer group. 🙏🏼

Hope it proves useful to you too.

Hello all,

I’ve requested the Civils Daily team to remove my photo from their brochure and advertisements. If you still come across any instance where my name or image is being used, please share it with me — I’ll consider taking appropriate action.

I’ll also be sharing a list soon of the coachings/mentors I actually referred to during my preparation, along with the respective years. Stay cautious and informed.

2 images show my photo being removed :)
