Couldn’t clear UPSC and exhausted all attempts

A general male. Exhausted all my attempts at upsc last year.

Couldn’t succeed due to lack of will power and hardwork,though I am pretty average in terms of IQ if I be polite to myself

but I would admit I didn’t work hard enough, and

didn’t work hard enough consistently.

I did clear 4 government jobs in the period, serving in one, and appeared twice in state PSC interview (RAS)

After permanently failing for life in IAS I was devastated. I did give RAS again last year but couldn’t clear RAS Pre as well.

I don’t think there is any equivalence of work role,status and quality of work in RAS (Rajasthan) vis a vis IAS.

But thats the best option I am left with.

I am willing to prepare again for RAS.

I would like to know from you enlightened people, is it worth preparing for RAS now? And if yes, is there any forum here for RAS Aspirants (English medium)

The pain of being a failure can never go away, but at least I can try to change my Non Hardworking habits.

Thats my line of thinking. Please suggest if you have any piece of advise.

Thank you.

Dear Aspirant,

Firstly, I want to commend you for your honesty and self-awareness in reflecting on your past attempts at the UPSC exams. It takes courage to admit where one fell short and to acknowledge the areas where improvement is needed. Your determination to change your non-hardworking habits and strive for better is truly commendable.

It is clear from your message that you have gone through a challenging period of disappointment and self-reflection after exhausting all your attempts at the UPSC exams. While it may feel like a setback, it is important to remember that failure is not permanent and can be a stepping stone towards future success. Your willingness to reevaluate your approach and consider preparing for the Rajasthan Administrative Services (RAS) exam shows resilience and a positive mindset.

Regarding your question on whether it is worth preparing for RAS now, I would say that any pursuit that aligns with your goals and aspirations is worth investing time and effort into. The RAS exam may not carry the same prestige or status as the IAS exam, but it offers its own set of opportunities and challenges. Serving in a government job and appearing for state PSC interviews are valuable experiences that can contribute to your overall growth and skill development.

In terms of advice, here are some suggestions that may help you in your preparation for the RAS exam:

1. Set Clear Goals: Define your objectives and motivations for pursuing the RAS exam. Having a clear sense of purpose will help you stay focused and committed throughout the preparation process.

2. Develop a Study Plan: Create a structured study plan that outlines your daily, weekly, and monthly goals. Consistent and disciplined study habits are key to success in any competitive exam.

3. Utilize Available Resources: Make use of online platforms, study materials, coaching institutes, and mentorship programs to enhance your preparation. Engaging with fellow aspirants can also provide support and motivation.

4. Practice Previous Year Papers: Familiarize yourself with the exam pattern, syllabus, and question format by solving previous year papers. This will help you identify important topics and improve your time management skills.

5. Stay Updated: Keep yourself informed about current affairs, national and international events, government policies, and socio-economic issues. General awareness is a crucial component of the RAS exam.

As for English medium forums for RAS aspirants, I recommend exploring online platforms such as forums, social media groups, and websites dedicated to RAS preparation. These platforms can connect you with like-minded individuals, provide study materials, and offer guidance from experienced mentors.

Remember, success is not defined by a single exam or achievement but by the continuous effort and growth that you invest in yourself. Embrace the journey of self-improvement, stay resilient in the face of challenges, and believe in your ability to overcome obstacles. With dedication, hard work, and perseverance, you can strive towards your goals and carve out a fulfilling career path.

I wish you all the best in your preparations for the RAS exam. Stay focused, stay motivated, and never underestimate the power of persistence.

Best regards,

[Kiterunner]
