This might sound silly but do not reveal your preparation to others in the workplace, especially, if your current job is the back

up plan for you. Also, letting more people know will create a virtual stress on you to perform. Avoid it.d. Plan properly to take leaves.e. Whatever time you get for studying ( it may be as low as 2 hours per day), use it effectively.

Family:

My father is a retired Additional Commissioner of Customs and Central Excise .

My mother is a teacher turned housewife.

My brother is a Software professional in U.S.

My sister-in-law is a software professional turned housewife and most importantly my niece Miss. Joanna aged 2.

Family has been of great support to me during the entire examination process. They provided the motivation and relaxation required inthe preparation for the exams without which this might not have been a possibility.

Inception



First of all, my father, Mr. Augustine Manohar was the source of my inspiration and motivation. His sheer excellence in work andthe hard work that he showcased in his life and profession along with honesty helped him to grow up higher in ladder.Secondly, as a part of life of any IT professional, I got an opportunity to work from United Kingdom for my company. It wasduring this stint that I realized that earning any amount of money will never give the satisfaction. I have always wanted to becomea IAS/IPS and I was not happy with what I was doing. After 14 months of work at Onsite, I decided that it is now or never.

Information

Outside Delhi, its hard to dig how to prepare for civil service. So How did you gather the necessary information / strategy /booklist?

Here I would take the opportunity to thank Mr.Shankar and Mr. Vinoba from Shankar IAS academy for providing the necessaryinformation and strategies. As a working professional, it is very difficult to get time to study and even if I had to study, it was requiredthat I studied those things which were relevant.

In addition to it, websites such as upscportal, mrunal along with the inputs of experienced candidates helped me in arriving at properstrategy for the exam.

Study Momentum

There was couple of things that helped me to maintain the study-momentum.

Necessity drives a man to perform wonders. A rat mostly wins the race when the Cat chases. It is because; the cat runs for itsfood whereas the rat runs for the life. I knew this might be virtually my final full fledged attempt by which I compete for the examselse it might not be a possibility as I had to decide upon my career for life.Unfortunately, In 2011 Steve Jobs died and his speech in Stanford University came up in all social networking sites. Thefollowing lines really motivated me to carry on the momentum and the mood swings.Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life. Dont be trapped by dogma which is living with the results ofother peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have thecourage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else issecondary.Full Text of Speech: http://www.businessinsider.com/the-full-text-of-steve-jobs-stanford-commencement-speech-2011-10

Hours

Q. On an average, How many hours did you study per day?

Ans. To speak the truth, I really didnt notice the hours that I studied per day. I studied whenever I got a chance. So approx. it may bearound 10-12 hours effectively. It doesnt depend upon the quantity of time spent, it is simply the quality of time spent. Use timeeffectively.

Q. How many months did it take you to complete the core syllabus of GS and optional subjects?

Ans. Optional 1 : Geography : Started preparation for mains in June 2012 and completed in September 2012. Hence, around 4 months.

Optional 2 : Geography : Started preparation for mains in June 2012 and completed in September 2012. Hence, around 4 months.



GS: Started preparation from Jan 2012.

Strategy: CSAT (Aptitude)

Decision making No books used.

Comprehension and decision making will only come by practice. Read the editorials in newspapers regularly and try to arrive at aconclusion on your own. Critically analyze and arrive at your own conclusion before reading the conclusion of the article. This helpedme a lot in my decision making.

for prelims

There are 99% chances that questions in the exam will not come from what you have studied. So, get ready to face theunexpected.Focus on eliminating the wrong options rather than choosing the correct options.



Attend many mock test series and evaluate yourself and concentrate on the weak areas.

for GS Mains:

Read the subjects very comprehensively. The capability will not be tested on how much deep you know about a particular issue,but it will depend on how comprehensively you are able to express the details.Put google/bing search to the maximum use.Dont study in exam point of view, just do things which will help you to gain knowledge.Dont get startled on seeing the mains GS paper. Questions will be vague, but if you concentrate properly, then you will be ableto recollect and fill up the pages with information.

Mains 2013

Q. UPSC has changed the GS syllabus for Mains 2013. So if you were to prepare for it, whatd be yourapproach/strategy/booklist?

ans. I had planned to wait and watch the first new pattern of exam. So if I had to write again, I would have waited for 2014.

Public Administration

My first option was Public Administration.

Paper I Mohit Bhattacharya, Fadia and Fadia, Lakshmikanth, Shankar IAS academy notes.

Paper II Lakshmikanth, Indian Administration by Avasthi and Avasthi, Shankar IAS academy notes for Second ARC, State centrerelations.

Geography

My second optional was Geography.

Paper I Savindra Singh, Goh Cheng Leong, NCERT XI, XII, Spectrum Geogrpahy and Shankar IAS academy notes

Paper II Khuller, Shankar IAS academy notes, NCERT XI, XII.

All current affair related topics for both Pub Ad and Geography were noted down. Linking those current affair with the concepts in thesubject gave me much more clarity.

For both the optional, I practiced writing many mock exams and had one to one discussion with the concerned guide. Their inputshelped me shape well for the mains examination.

Optional Subject in Mains 2013?

Instead of two, now UPSC will have only one optional subject. So if you were to give Mains 2013, which optional would youkeep and why?And what will be your strategy / approach / booklist for it?

Ans. I would have taken Geography.

Booklist As stated above. I had equal liking for both Public Administration and Geography, however, I would be more successful inexpressing the Geography contents (diagrams etc.,) and hence would opt for the same.

Compulsory papers

Q. Your booklist/strategy for compulsory Regional language paper.

I had taken HINDI as my regional language paper. It had been nearly 10 years since I wrote Hindi. So I had to spend at least 2 hourspracticing the same. I had purchased couple of books from flipkart for writing practice.Q. Your booklist/strategy for compulsory English language paper.

Just previous year question papers. I had solved a couple of paper just to gain confidence.

Essay

Q. How did you prepare yourself for the essay?

Preparing for mains optional subject itself gave the foundation for writing essays. However, in addition to the content, I practiced onwriting couple of Essays for gaining confidence.

Q. Which Essay did you write in Mains-2012?

Managing work and home is the Indian working women getting a fair deal.

Q.Provide some keypoints/highlights of your Essay.



Introduction highlighted that working women have not been getting a fair deal.

Compared the problems that they face at home, workplace and in the society. ( few quotes for the same were written) Probablesolutions for the same ( ex: Career planning for women at workplace , Paternity Leaves similar on the line of Maternity leaves etc.,)

Score: 96

Previous Attempts

Q. When you look back in the past, what were the deficiency in your preparation in the previous attempt? How did yourectify them this time?

Ans. I had attempted for the civil service exams in 2010 with Public Administration as Optional. It was a turning point in my IT careerand I could not balance work and studies. I had nearly 12-14 hours of work in office and couldnt manage the studies at home. Thistime, I had moved to a higher role and a lighter one too, which gave me ample amount of time to study. I had also utilized my leavesaccumulated in order to give a full thrust to the studies.

Insecurity about Profile

Many aspirants have the (unnecessary) fear of interview, thinking that my profile is not good because Ive low score in class10/12/college/ Im from unknown college, Ive no work experience etc.etc.etc. Whats your take on this?

Profile is an important part of the interview. Whatever profile you have, prepare well for it. There is no point in feeling bad about yourlow scores or lack of work experience etc., , instead concentrate properly on your positives and have a reasonable explanation foryour low scores/lack or work experience.

How much portion of your interview (in terms of minutes and no. of questions) was centered around your profile?

Around 15 mins approx.

Did they ask any uncomfortable question from your profile during the interview?

There was couple of uncomfortable questions which I had anticipated and prepared. These questions were asked in the interview.Those questions were,

1. Arent you disloyal to your organization after 6 years of service.2. With the salary that you are getting, you can start a NGO and do service to the people. Why do you need IAS for doing good to

the people.

Career Backup

I had couple of backup plans. Either it was to continue my career in IT or to join Bank of Baroda as a probationary officer.

Family and Friends

My family has been of immense support to me during all the stages. My parents, Brother and Sister in law and my niece provided themotivation to write the exams.

Special Thanks to my Friends, Mr. Arun, Mr. Anand Danny, Mr. Bhoobalan and Mr. Ramunujam for their constant encouragement atall the stages of examination.

Interview

Q. How did you prepare for the interview?

For my profile, I jotted down all the possible questions that could be asked and tried preparing proper reply for the same.

For current affairs, whenever I read any article in the newspaper, I used to generate a precise content of the same and try to talk out inmy room as if I was in the real interview.

Q. Who was the chairman of you interview board?

Prof. David R. Syiemlieh

Q. How long was the interview?

30-35 mins

Q. Provide the list of questions asked (and if possible answers also)

1. A IAS in his initial career will never get the salary that you are getting now. Can you please justify why you still have opted for theservices.

2. If you were to go a camera shop, which kind of camera would you buy ? ( My hobby: Amateur photography)



3. Do you know anything about a feature in camera which automatically takes photo when the subject gives a smile. (Smile recognitionin Nikon P&S cameras)

4. What is meant by Dumb Charades?

5. Is it being used by special people?

Member 1

1. In case the power and authority from IAS are removed, will you still be willing to take up IAS.2. How will you as an administrator improve the services for the people?3. Why dont you start/join NGO instead of opting for IAS.

Member 2

1. What is the difference between the service being provided by a product making company ( say soap ) and the service providedby you as an administrator.

2. Give me an example of the issue in providing service to the people and use of Information technology to solve the same.3. Since my answer to the previous question was on improving the communication between people and the govt, the next question

was , Give me a innovative idea of improving the communication between Govt and People ( both ways).

Member 3

1. Dont you think you are disloyal to your company.2. What is/are your qualities that should impress us to take you into civil services.3. Difference between smart working and hard working.

Member 4

1. Since most of your answers are based on data collection, analysis and use of information technology, give me a solution forimproving the communication without the use of Information technology.

2. You are very interested in IT, however, your successor may not have the knowledge of IT, then wont the system that youcreated become redundant?

3. What are the activities did you do as an Events Organizer in college days.

Q. Was your interview on the expected lines of what you had prepared or

Did they ask you totally unexpected questions? If yes, how did you handle it?

Mostly all the questions were in expected lines, though their degree might vary. Questions like being disloyal to the organizations wereunexpected, however, my preparation and work experience helped me to handle it without exhibiting any stress.

Wisdom

Q. Through this struggle and success, what have you learned about life and competition? What is your message to future aspirants?

Ans.

Never give up. This is not an event where the result will come out the next day. This will teach you how to be patient, handlecriticisms and at the same time provide you the necessary motivation to continue studying.Dont compare yourself with others. Put in your hardwork and leave the rest to the God. If you are successful, you have amessage to share. If you are not successful, you still will have a message to share.Be positive. Understand your mistakes, rectify it and try again.

You are well aware of the unwritten golden rule of conducting toppers interview: Final question has to be about the bogus marketingpropaganda. So,

Q1. Were you a subscriber/ regular reader of Mrunal.org. If yes, since when?

And You can even say no, Ill publish it without editing, unlike certain magazines hahaha.

Ans. Yes, I was a regular reader of Mrunal from the stage of preparation of Mains examination. It has been of tremendous use to mepersonally as it has helped me clear my doubts easily. Keep up the great work and all the best.

Q2. How did Mrunal.org help you in your preparation?

Ans. I had a weak foundation in economics and environment. Mrunals website provided the clarity in the concept which I could notfind in any other books. With limited time availability in my case, this was highly helpful as it allowed me to understand complicatedissues with ease.

Yes, perhaps the most inspiring interview till now I as a working professional have read. Incidentally, there are around 15-20 peoplefrom my company who appeared for prelims this time and most of us believe that now the pattern had changed and it no longerrequires to leave job and make life hell in Mukherjee Nagar or Rajender Nagar.

Thanks Mrunal for this Interview.

AkashReply to this comment

As ur a working professional and didnt left the job,how could u manage to study 10-12 hrs a day..???? I am just curious to know how umanaged with TCS along with UPSC study.thank u

NIPONReply to this comment

SAME question from me also.


Dear Akash,Your curiosity is understandable as I think I havnt made myself clear over here.Just to quote the lines that I wroteTo speak the truth, I really didnt notice the hours that I studied per day. I studied whenever I got a chance. So approx. it may bearound 10-12 hours effectively.These are the maximum amount of hours that I could have spent during the days when I was on leave.During the office days, I would say it might be around 2-4 hours. But during those times, it is better not to look at the time which mightcreate an inferiority complex within you.However, I did compensate the time lost during the weekends.

I hope I have been able to give you some clarity. If you still have any queries, please feel free to mail me [email protected].

Regards,Frank
