Vaibhav cracked Mains in the first attempt but only barely! With very few marks in GS, he joined Civilsdaily’s Mentorship Program for 2020 for his second attempt and the results were clear – he secured 25th rank in UPSC 2020. Vaibhav is an IT BHU graduate, school cricket captain, 7th ranker in All India Science Olympiad, a former employee at Samsung R&D and current Rank Holder for UPSC 2020.
Guys, let’s hear more from Vaibhav himself and try to learn what a common aspirant learns in this quest to cross the threshold.
Maintaining consistency is one of the biggest issues faced by IAS Aspirants. Streak’s initiative is to help Aspirants in their day-to-day preparation. You can follow the monthly, weekly, and daily timetables and continue this streak until you find yourself on the final list.
Pranav, a name until now very common is now different. Little did he know that on 25th September evening, he will be set free. Free from years of academic hard work, mentally strenuous sessions and sacrifices. Now he is delighted. He’s IIT Bombay mechanical engineer graduate. And yet he failed 2 prelims. Most folks will move on after 2 failures. Waiting for the 3rd is just too painful. But he remained hooked to the goal he had envisioned. Perhaps he now knows that life has offered him a vantage wherefrom he can reflect and design for what he wants to do. He is now the Republic of India’s collector. The famous position most of us started out aiming for. The search for an ultimate job ends, at least for now.
Upon talking to him, he was visibly calm and composed. For a greater part that’s because of what a person learns in the process of becoming an IAS officer. Within a short while, he will be busy working through some of the most complex problems of Indian society. We might hear about his enterprises on tv or social media. Being an IAS officer, he would have such great opportunities at his disposal, with which he could bring the much-needed change to the lives of common wo/man.
We, at Civilsdaily IAS family, are equally thrilled and overjoyed. We wish Pranav Vijayvergiya, all the very best. This turn around which he has experienced in his life, may he reflect upon the society.
During his earlier stints with Civil services in 2018 and 2019, he couldn’t manage to step past the prelims. For which he blamed his constant nagging for the “know it all” attitude, which was unnecessarily creating an added pressure and compromised his performances. Trust us as eyewitnesses, when in 2020, he decided that he will believe in his hard work and keep his nerves till the very last minute.
