New Delhi, April 29, 2019 ;

Speaking about the strategy , Ritika Jindal said , the credit of my success goes to my mentor M K Yadav …..

My journey so far :

I’ve done my schooling from Moga, Punjab. I was the Northern India topper in CBSE 12th board exams. I’ve graduated from Sri Ram College of Commerce with 3rd rank in 2017. After that I gave my 1st attempt, in which I qualified interview stage, but couldn’t make it to the final list. This was my 2nd attempt and I’ve secured AIR-88 in CSE, 2018 at the age of 22 yrs.
The credit of my success goes to :
The almighty God, my Parents and younger brother, my teachers and my mentor- MK Yadav, friends and well wishers who have stood by me through this journey.
The sources I had referred  :
6-12th NCERTs, Newspaper (The Hindu), Budget, Eco Survey, NITI Ayog reports, PRS, PIB, Yojana magazine, Lakshmikant, G C Leong, Spectrum, 2nd ARC reports, Subhash Kashyap, DD Basu …this list is indicative not exhaustive.
A humble advisory towards strategy for the exam based on my own experience  :
  • Chalk out your own plan. Don’t blindly follow anyone’s advice. (Every person has his/her own strengths & weaknesses and faces different circumstances)
  • Take the exam as learning process, as a journey not an end in itself
  • Give equitable importance to all the subjects
  • Do cost-benefit analysis while preparing
  • Have a good understanding of every subject – neither shallow understanding nor confusing yourself with unnecessary details
  • Give due importance to every stage – pre, mains and interview. Every stage has it’s own demands, build your capacity according to that
  • Stick to the sources you are referring, build good foundation (don’t randomly jump from one source to another)
  • Use 3 stage process – Understand,  Learn,  Revise
  • Keep yourself calm, cool and composed ( Stress will reduce your learning capacity)
  • Have balanced and logical opinion, keep your mind open (for mains and interview)
  • Don’t compromise on your sleep. (Good sleep increases productivity of mind)
  • Take healthy, balanced and nutritious diet (falling sick reduces your learning days)
  • Preferably do physical exercise/ yoga/ morning walk to keep yourself healthy (This refreshens your mind – important for good memory)
  • Be consistent in your efforts. There is no substitute of self-discipline.
  • Do SmartWork : Hardwork in the Right Direction!  There are no shortcuts to success.
  • Have high regards for your parents and teachers. They are a continuous source of motivation, support and selfless love.

A kind request to all the aspirants :
Make the best use of these golden years of your life. Be a good and responsible citizen first.
You are the future of our country. Don’t consider this exam as the end of your life. You are capable of doing wonders.  Unleash your potential! In whichever capacity you are, wherever you are, you can serve your country and your people.
All the best for your journey ahead !
