Electronic Vs Paper material
Q. In recent times, there is spur in electronic material- blogs,
sites, pdfs, RSS-feeds. Manyaspirants feel bogged down by this
information overload. So, how much do you rely onelectronic
material and how much on the paper material (Books,
newspapers)?
More than 60% of preparation today has to come from internet.
Role of books is decreasing.Hindu is of prime importance now. No
typical day. I maintain notes.
Tempo and style
Q. People know what books and syllabus points are to be
prepared. But most of themlack consistency in their preparation.
So, how do you keep study momentum going on?How do you fight
against the mood swings and distractions?
-
Inner strengths.
Struggle of a Senior player
Q1. Whatre your words of wisdom to other senior players? If any
specific inspirationalincident(s), please share.
Only one thing. While preparing for the next attempt, dont begin
in blind and just repeat whatyou did earlier, because that
obviously failed. Instead, sit down, analyze, find your
weaknessesand work to improve those weaknesses mainly.
Q2. What went wrong in your previous attempt? What changes did
you make in thiscurrent attempt?

anacceptable ethical decision.

GS4 Ethics case study answers in Mains 2013
Q. in GS4 ethics papers, please give a sketchy overview of your
case study answers:
Sorry dont remember. But my vision ias mock tests where I
attempted such case studies can beseen here click me
(http://thesupermanreturns.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/upsc-ias-prep-vision-ias-answer-scripts-gaurav-agrawal/)
Case your approach/keypoints
1: RTI: To hide or not to hide
2: Engineer: Bogus flyover vs deadline
3: Child Labourers in Sivakasi
4: Nepotism in Job recruitment
5: Leaking information
6: Narrate one incident in your life when you were faced with
such crisis ofconscience and how you resolved the same.
Mains answer-writing?
Q. How was your experience with the fixed space answer
sheet?
Its a trap. Dont fall to the temptation of filling the entire
space.
Q. Did you write answers in bullet points or in paragraphs? Some
players (who clearedmains and got interview call letter) were
claiming that they wrote entire paper in bulletpoints, so it doesnt
matter.whether examiner is asking examine, comment, discuss
orxyz.simply write in bullets and points.
Bullet points with proper headings, sub headings, underlining.
And who says we cant comment/ discuss in points or while analyzing
cant present our thoughts in points. In comment / discuss/ analyze
kind of questions, simply give all positive points, then given all
negative points and
-
then give way forward. Or say take up an issue as a point sub
heading, do its pros and consanalysis and then move on to next
point sub heading. Bottom line is, use your own brain
andcommunicate in a way you feel to be the best. Dont rely blindly
on coachingwallahs.
Q. Did you follow the introduction-body-conclusion format?
because some mains-qualified candidates claim they simply wrote the
points they could recall within the time,instead of bothering with
proper introduction and conclusion.
Yes. I too wrote almost all my answers in points but still I
gave a proper introduction, properheadings and sub-headings and
then a conclusion. The main bulk of the answer was in points. Idont
think why the tradeoff mentioned in the second half of your
question should arise.
Q. In GS papers, Since UPSC came with those 100 and 200 words
questions. What was yourapproach in the exam (I wrote all, I only
focused on the questions where I could answerperfectly, I just not
to high quality points to reach the word limit etc.)
Extremes in public life are mostly bad and one has to do a
balancing act. Same applies to yourquestion above. I would only
say, have faith in your judgment, apply your mind, and rely
onintuition on what to attempt and what not. Exam condition is so
dynamic, cant apply any rigidformula there. I simply attempted
questions I felt I should attempt.
Q. How many marks worth questions did you skip/couldnt finish in
the GS papers?
GS (Mains paper) Couldnt finish /attempt
GS1 10 marks
GS2 10 marks
GS3 60 marks
GS4 10 marks
Q5. Did you use highlighters / sketchpens in your answers?
No
-
Q6. Did you draw any diagram in any paper? (e.g. in GS1
Geography)
No, wanted to but couldnt
Q7. If yes, Did you draw diagrams with pencil or pen?
NA
Q8. Did you use ruler to draw the lines in diagram? Or did you
just make it by hand?
NA
Q9. You wrote the answer in blue pen or black pen?
Blue gel pen
(Mrunal since readers keep mailing such queries, therefore Im
asking the topper to clear allthe air haha.)
Mains Optional Subject
Q1. First the essential book/resource list. (Also mention which
one is the Base book forcovering the theory? + Whatever comments
youve for a particular book e.g. my seniorssaid read xyz book but I
found that ABC book was better. xyz topic not given properlyin this
book, so prepare from xyz website or book OR and so on.)
Economics was my optional. Please read my blog post on this
where I have covered this in greatdetail. click me
(http://thesupermanreturns.wordpress.com/2014/06/26/eco_optional/)
This is a list of reading material arrived after a lot of
painstaking trial and errors.
There are many topics which required study of many research
papers and internet articles. Soobviously cant mention a single
source for them. But I used to take whatever I found usefulfrom
there and make my own notes which can be found here. click
me(http://thesupermanreturns.wordpress.com/2014/06/18/upscnotesgauravagrawal/)
-
Q2. How much of internet-research / current affairs is necessary
for this optional? OR canone simply rely on the books and be done
with this subject?
Paper 1 can be done mostly by books. Paper 2 is 80% internet
based.
Q3. How many months did it take to finish the core optional
syllabus?
3 months for the first time where I could study the other
optional as well as GS along withEconomics.
Q4. How many days/ weeks before the exam, you started answer
writing practice?
Around 2 months.
Q5. Do you maintain self-notes for revision of optional? In
which format- electronic orpaper?
Yes, electronic. All uploaded on my blog.
Q6. Your observation about the difficultly level of 2013 mains
vs previous papers. Andwhat precautions / rectifications are
necessary in the future strategy for given optionalsubject?
I think there was a quantum jump in the difficulty level from
previous mains. There was aquestion in paper 1. I still cant even
understand to this day. But thankfully, the system ofchoices saved
me. Precautions etc. I have mentioned in my blog post on
economics.
Q7.How much did you skip OR couldnt answer properly, in the
optional paper?
optional paper Couldnt finish __ mark
Paper I Around 14 marks
paper II Around 8 marks
Before the interview
-
Q1. How did you prepare for the interview? Particularly college
graduation subjectsrelated questions?
First, would like to clarify the myth that UPSC interview is
only of 275 marks i.e. 10-15%. The realweight of the interview is
at least 40%. The reasons are: a) UPSC has developed a habit of
givingvery less marks in mains. This is a relative exam and only
difference of marks between us andothers matters. Naturally if low
marks are given in written, then difference of marks from
otherswhich we can have by performing well in written will be less.
b) Only candidates clearing mainscan give interview. So whatever
little difference in marks was there in mains gets reduced
evenfurther (as the difference in marks among the mains successful
candidates would be less thanthe difference in the entire set). On
the other hand, interview marks come only after this mainscutoff
stage and there is a full range of marks given in interviews. So
the difference in marksarising out of interview can be great
leading to its increased effective weight.
So neglect interview only at your own peril! And also unlike
what many say interview is notpurely luck based. Barring few
exceptional cases, most of the interviews contain questions 90%of
which can be predicted and prepared well in advance! Wait for my
blog post on interviews.
Subject: College graduation subject (Computer Sc.) didnt have
much relevance for me as I haddone a lot of things after college.
So I had done only very basic preparation of IT currenthappenings
and some theoretical aspects. My main field was economics which was
runningthrough my entire DAF (in hobby, job related to eco,
optional eco, MBA done in finance mostpeople relate finance with
economics). And economics is a subject where unless we meet
aneconomist in the panel, the interview would be on current
economic issues only. So decided toskip the theoretical portions
and prepare only the current macroeconomic issues. We werefacing
high inflation and low growth, stalled projects, land acquisition
issues etc. And a newgovernment was there. So it was natural to
expect questions on it and so I prepared theseissues. Since
economics was my main area, so I had to speak like an economist.
Nothing lesswas expected. So remembered some key data related to
IIP, WPI, CPI, GDP numbers etc.Developed mind maps containing 6-7
points on Why high inflation and Why low growth. Thething is in
such issues everybody knows everything, but I had to speak like an
economist. Sofrom the first sentence itself, my understanding
should be visible. This is possible only when we
-
prepare these questions beforehand and not think about them for
the first time in the interviewitself. I have these mind maps on
paper, so will upload scanned images on my blog post so thatreaders
can get a clearer idea of what I am talking about.
Home state: Had prepared it last year as well, so this year
mostly revised it and preparedsome current issues (like refinery,
jaipur metro, drug trafficking, socio economic scenario).Mostly
internet based study particularly Wikipedia. For Rajput and modern
history, read a bookused in RAS history optional apart from
internet.
Home district: I was brought up in Jaipur so prepared a few
aspects of Jaipur (tourism places,economic activities, present
problems etc.). But I was born in Bharatpur. In the summary
sheet,only place of birth comes, so preparing place of birth is
more important than preparing homedistrict. I prepared Bharatpur
history, economy, tourism places, Keoladeo park, Salim
Ali,ornithology etc. Mostly Wikipedia based study.
Job: I was trading financial derivatives at Citi. Most important
thing for me was naturallyfinancial crisis. I know a great deal
about financial crisis naturally having seen it from the middleof
it all, but when it comes to explaining it in 2-3 sentences, prior
preparation is needed. So Iprepared it and it was asked in the
beginning questions itself last year. Then I also preparedhistory
of Citi and its mergers, Salomon Brothers, John Meriwether, LTCM
etc. Some preparationrelated to Vikram Pandit and Corbatt.
IPS: Had to study a lot about this topic this year as it was
completely new. Prepared policereforms (studied all commissions
setup since British era, watched Aamir Khans show, readmany
articles on internet) then prepared mind maps of 5-6 points to
speak on various possiblequestions on police and bureaucracy
reforms. Basically in such topics everybody knowseverything. What
matters is how we speak in first 2-3 sentences. However, they
couldnt find outI was already into IPS (as it was there in the DAF
but not summary sheet from where they wereasking), so no questions
asked. Will upload the scanned copies of these mind maps in
myblogpost.
Why IAS after IPS, IIM, IIT, Investment Banking: Spent a lot of
time preparing this. Prepared itfrom all possible angles I could
think. Came up with realistic answers. In both interviews, thiswas
the first question asked.
-
Other DAF things: Prepared everything mentioned in the DAF. Will
cover these in the blog postwhere I will upload my DAF and cover
each issue.
Current affairs: Current affairs preparation for interview is
different from preparation formains. Basically people who are
taking our interview are not preparing themselves. So they willonly
remember masala news and not the boring committees and legislations
etc. So have tocover masala news for interview and develop our own
opinion on all such news items.
Q2. Did you attend any mock interviews by coaching classes? How
were they similar /different than official interview? Do you
believe it is necessary to attend such mockinterviews?
Yes. They were very helpful for me as I was cutout for private
sector interviews, not UPSCinterview. UPSC interview requires
different kind of mannerisms and body language and this iswhat I
learnt from mocks. Then I also got to know my weakness areas on
which I worked.However, dont rely blindly on whatever they say,
apply your own mind before changing /preparing something.
Q3. What did you wear? Some experts say coat is must, some say
tie is must, and somesay black shoes must. What attire did you pick
up?
The sole purpose of the attire should be that it doesnt get
noticed. I wore a shirt, trousers and atie. Black shoes, clean
shaved.
Q4. Where did you stay for the interview? (Hotel / friends home
) and whatbooks/material did you bring for the revision before
interview?
My friends place. Revised some of my online notes and mind
maps.
During the interview
Q1. Who was the chairman of you interview board?
Dr. Kilemsungla
Q2. How long was the interview?
-
May be around 20-25 mins
Q3. Please narrate your entire interview- what questions did
they ask and what did youreply and other pleasant or uncomfortable
experiences during the interview. (Earliersome toppers only tell me
their question but not their answer. I would appreciate if yougive
both Question + your original answers)

Q5. Was your interview on the expected lines of what you had
prepared or did they askyou totally unexpected questions? Was it a
stress interview, did they ask anyuncomfortable questions? If yes,
how did you handle it?
Most of it was expected.
Q6. Any side details about technicalities like make sure you
bring xyz document or doxyz thing, or youll face problem?
None
Q7. Any word of wisdom / observations about medical checkup?
None

After the result.
Views on UPSC reforms
What are your views on following issues?
Q. Despite what UPSC has done in recent years, it has failed to
curb the nuisance ofDelhis coaching factories. In fact its
increased under the new syllabus in 2013. Lets faceit, most toppers
have relied on (authentic OR Xeroxed) coaching notes because there
washardly any time left to prepare so many topics in such short
time. This system workagainst an individual preparing from far-away
area, without any financial resources,high-speed internet or
contacts in Delhi.
-
Dont agree with this. Coachingwallahs thrive when question
papers are static and same thingsare repeated year after year.
UPSC, on the other hand, has made their paper very dynamic inlast
2-3 years. Now the bookish questions have reduced greatly and
analyze types haveincreased. No longer are they asking questions
where information is the key determinant (evenin the prelims). What
matters is ones opinion and analysis. This cannot be found in any
singleplace / book and internet has to be referred to. Most
coachingwallahs are stagnant and oldand are unwilling to change
with times. Classroom coachings have become a waste of time.Only
10% of what they teach is perhaps relevant. Instead of attending
their classes and wastingtime on that 90% useless thing, better to
just buy their notes from photocopy shops andstudy the 10%.
Coachings take 6 months to teach what one can study in 2 months and
are ofinferior quality.
Mrunal comments: thanks, your reply will help clear the negative
vibes among some newplayers that Delhi coaching is essential for
success in UPSC.
Q. Optional subjects should be removed altogether. The present
stalemate is helping no-one, except coaching-owners, book
publishers.
I dont subscribe to the so called level playing field theory
that removing optional ensures levelplaying field. How can it be a
level playing field when you force an engineer to study history
aswell as a history student to study history? Is this level playing
field or the scenario wheneverybody can study his/her strength?
Q. UPSC should disclose official prelim answerkey and cutoffs,
immediately after prelim isover, instead of postponing it till
interview phase is over.
Yes. In fact should also reveal individuals marks along with his
/ her prelims result.
Q. UPSC should be conducted online like IBPS and CAT exam to
shorten the duration ofexam.
Invariably that is the direction one has to move in. But people
are not ready for it presently.
Q. If you are made the UPSC chairman, what other reforms would
you initiate for the civilservice exam?
-
Transparency Related Matters
Provide scanned copies of answer sheets.Release all marks of
each candidate at each stage.Give a tentative window of result
declaration beforehand.
Quality of Exam
Divide GS into more papers and ensure that only a historian is
checking history answers,geographer is checking geography answers,
foreign policy experts are checking IR answers andso on. In the
present system, a single person is checking entire GS paper which
has 3-4 subjectsand this hampers quality of examination
seriously.
Insecurity about prole
Q. Many candidates prepare sincerely but constantly live under
fear about profileinsecurity. Im not from a big college, Im not
from English medium, and I dont havework-experience. What if they
ask some stressful questions in the interview about this?Did you
suffer from such insecurities? What is your message to these
candidates?
No such insecurities. On the other hand, I suffered from the
insecurity that given my exceptionalbackground, the interview board
may take me as arrogant and confused even before theinterview
begins.
Wisdom
Q. Through this struggle and success, what have your learned?
What is the wisdom of lifeand competition? What is Your message to
the new aspirants?
Learnt that there are always conflicting perspectives of things
and one has to appreciate both.Also life is not like sciences, but
social sciences. 2 + 2 may not be equal to 4. One has to acceptwhat
it is and move on.
Q. Many hardworking candidates have failed in Mains/Interview of
CSE-2013. Theyrefeeling dejected- what is your message to them?
-
Of course tighten your seat belts and get going. But dont just
blindly repeat what you didbecause obviously it didnt work. See
where your mistakes might have been and improve them.
Credit: Friends/family
Q. Behind every topper are many people who stood by during those
uncertain timeswhen he/she was merely an aspirant. Would you like
to tell the world, who were thosepeople in your case? Any specific
incidence that you would like to share with the readers?
I dedicate this success to my family.
BOGUS Marketing Propaganda
Q. You are well aware of the sacred rule the last question must
be about self-marketing.So, Did you use Mrunal.org for your
preparation and if yes, how did it help you? And youcan even reply
No. Ill still publish your answer without tempering, unlike
thosecompetitive magazines.
Yes, in fact question on Bhoodan movement I had read from your
article(http://mrunal.org/2013/11/land-reforms-bhodan-gramdan-jan-satyagraha-2012-other-non-governmental-movements-achievements-obstacles-limitations.html)
only. But not a regularfollower as its not a user friendly site.
Please make it structured and easy to read. I have tried toread it
many times but always find it difficult to see.
Mrunal comments: In 2014, I shifted to a new theme
(http://mrunal.org/2014/02/troubleshoot-site-themelayout-problems-solutions-just-clear-temp-cache-files-browser-ssc-extends-deadline-cgl-2014-applications.html).
But Yes, there are still lot of issue with the site, but as they
say inPublic Administration- routine activities taking away the
time necessary to bring out long termreforms! Anyways, great
interacting with you, especially the Delhi coaching factories part.
Wishyou the best for the long career ahead, keep in touch.
