    CIVIL SERVICES EXAMINATION 1995
    Service : Indian Administrative Service
    Cadre : Uttar Pradesh

    MY TRYST WITH THE CIVIL SERVICES


    Getting into IAS was like a dream coming true. Although I'd thought of joining
    this service much earlier in my school days, my mind kept wavering till few
    years back. It was in the third year of my engineering course that I firmly
    decided to take up this examination.
    Incidentally, I'm a graduate from IIT, Kanpur in Electrical Engineering and I
    passed out in 1994. I started reading material on current affairs and on other
    subjects in the general studies paper from that very time. As far as optionals
    were concerned, I felt Physics and Electrical Engineering as the best bet for
    me. For the Prelims, I chose Physics. I'd decided not to attempt the exam
    unless I felt confident about my preparation. So I skipped the 1994 eaxm and
    took it up next year. By God's grace I made into the service in the very first
    attempt. I stood 10th in India. 18th June, the day I came to know about the
    reasult, was the happiest in my life. By the way a funny part of this story was
    that when I'd first inquired about my Prelims rsult, I was told that I'd
    failed.
    As regard my other personal details, I'm a 24 year old bachelor and hail from a
    business family of Lucknow. I'm youngest among the four siblings of my family.
    I'd my schooling in Lucknow in Colvin Taluqdars' College till 8th standard
    after which I shifted to Mahanagar Boys' Inter College. My hobbies are
    travelling, particularly to places of natural beauty, and light music. I enjoy
    playing Billiards and am presently trying to pick up Tennis.
    My suggestion to future aspirants of this service is that one should try to
    take one's subject of speacialisation as an optional in the exam. This saves
    lot of time and labour. The exam requires one year of full dedication provided
    one has a good base in general studies and good backing of graduation. One
    shouldn't rely solely on the optionals as G.S. and essay paper along with
    interview form a substantial portion in the total marks. The syllabus of mains
    should be finished before prelims so that one may get enough time for revision
    and updating current affairs before mains.
    As regards interview, one just needs to be natural and attentive before the
    board. The board members are in general very cooperative.
    Presently, I'm having great fun in the academy at Musoorie. Here the main
    emphasis is on espirit de corp among various services. Although the routine
    here is tightly packed, one gets enough time to learn new things and take up
    new hobbies. We recieved our cadres few days back and I's fortunate enough to
    get the home cadre.
