How to be a civil servant?
Honestly, I am not a civil servant thus I have no say here. But let’s examine the direction that the words of rank holders suggest and what upsc cse proposes.
To be a civil servant first you need to prepare for the examinations😁. In the process of preparation, you will get to know that there are three parts of the exams which extend up to a year. These are prelims, mains, and interviews. After clearing each level of this examination, you will be allotted a rank and a cut-off.
This cutoff will decide whether you have succeeded or not. This examination will not only provide you with a way towards a fulfilled life but also the platform through which you can directly connect with the administration to serve your country. What every successful civil servant claims that “Consistency “was the mantra that helped them.
There are a lot of struggles that this exam will give you. You must fight with aspirants all over the country but cracking this exam is a good experience. What DU will give you here is a platform for improvement. It will teach what hard work is. Therefore, it would not be wrong to say that DU is moving towards its transformation to a UPSC hub.
How much is the success rate?
Approximately 0.2 percent of total aspirants get success in the examinations. All aspirants do not stand on the same boat but what combines them is their hard work and struggle. All of you ofcourse will not achieve success but those of you who learnt to deal with the hard work, believe me, success won’t wait for you.
It is your journey as it is your life. If you have an aspiration to do something, if you are the one who believes in the stable flame of life and wants to live life to the fullest, this is the attempt you must not miss. I wish you all the best for your journey. Crack the exam and make your life a fulfilled.
