Why do IAS aspirants hide the fact that they are preparing for the IAS?

I think these pictures from a video I recently saw will answer your question.

This is how people around you behave when you tell them. The relatives and friends are the worst . maybe not for all, but for 95% of the people.

The usual comments you get to hear pull you down. Nobody believes u can do it , until u do it one day and then all these people are like, “humne toh pehle hi kaha tha, karlegi yeh”. To avoid unnecessary pressure and judgements it’s best to prepare in silence and let the success speak.

अबतक का सबसे होशियार आईएएस टॉपर कौन है और कैसे?

आईएएस अधिकारी अपनी होशियारी का परिचय सिविल सेवा की प्रतिष्ठित परीक्षा उत्तीर्ण करने के उपरांत ही दे देते हैं। अगर अपने कार्यकाल में होशियारी की बात करे तो कई ऐसे अधिकारी है जिनकी होशियारी के कारण आज भी ये पद युवाओं के बीच आकर्षण का केंद्र बना हुआ है। जहाँ एक ओर आज भी लोग भ्रष्ट अधिकारियों से परेशान रहते है वहीँ भारत में अशोक खेमका और आर्मस्ट्रॉन्ग पामे जैसे अधिकारी आज भी निःस्वार्थ भाव से लोक कल्याणकारी कार्य में लगे हुए है। ●छत्तीसगढ़ के एक 1500 आबादी वाले पिछड़े गाँव में उसका जन्म हुआ। ●उसके पिता एक शिक्षक थे। उसने अपने पिता को मात्र 8 वर्ष की अल्पायु में ही खो दिया। उसकी माता ने अपनी औपचारिक शिक्षा भी पूरा नहीं किया था पर वो एक कुशल गृहिणी और इन सबसे बढ़कर एक माँ थी। ●उसने 12वीं तक की पढाई गांव के सरकारी विद्यालय में ही पूरा किया। ●वह अक्सर अपने पिता के पेंशन लेने सरकारी कार्यालय जाया करता था और वहां के लचर व्यवस्था से उसका मन कुछ बड़ा करने का करता था। ●एक बार जब वो मसूरी घूमने गया तो उसकी इच्छा लाल बहादुर शास्त्री प्रशासनिक अकादमी(IAS ट्रेनिंग अकादमी) में अंदर जाकर देखने की हुई पर ग

Which job is better, RBI Grade B or IAS, in terms of job, political pressure and transfers, etc.?

Ok, although i am neither but i have seen few things which makes me eligible to answer this, at least in my opinion. My Husband in RBI- No need for intro, quora community knows him. My grandfather- Late M.P.N. Singh (pic below) was MLA and one of initial founding member of BJP. ( Pic of Hon’ble HM is not for any reference, its from a recent newspaper clip) My Father-in-law’s uncle- Mr. Narendra Singh Sisodia,IAS (1968) (pic below) who worked as a Secretary in Mr. Chidambaram’s tenure as FM. So, i have seen all of them working during last 30 years. I can say. RBI- Less pressure, no political intervention. I am from a family which comes from a cult RSS background and hoard of local politicians can be seen at our home. They just get confused about what my husband does.

What do all UPSC toppers have in common?

Common attributes of the toppers: 1. They are single-minded about what they want. They don’t chase multiple goals like – making money, finding a date and also clearing UPSC. 2.

They always go that extra mile, squeezing and making the most of every single day of their preparatory time. 4. They are not afraid of making mistakes. They learn from their mistakes and those of others too and don’t repeat them. 5. They set very realistic goals and plan for them. Not a super-human 14 hours a day schedule, that makes them run out of steam in 2-3 days. 6. They are not too emotional about success and failure in the examination. They approach the subject clinically like a doctor, do what is needed and move on. 7. They have the capacity to delay gratification. They aren’t hankering after immediate success. They are willing to put the effort that it takes today, kn
