Check out Divyansh’s excerpt on how he cleared UPSC 2020:-
A graduate in Computer Science from IIT, Divyansh as a student was always brilliant in studies. Yet the transition from a software developer in Microsoft to civil services was not easy for him. During work, he read NCERT books to get an understanding of the UPSC syllabus. Once he decided that this is what he wanted to do, Divyansh resigned and prepared full time. He believes that once a decision is taken it is final; you may change plans to achieve the goal but never change the goal itself.
He has cleared the exam in his second attempt. However, the point to be noted is that in both his attempts, he cleared the prelims in one shot. What was his go-to strategy in Prelims? Divyansh studied Current Affairs from Civilsdaily and solved atleast 35-40 papers before the exam. This gave him a powerful intuition to get the right answers from elimination techniques. He believes that solving question papers gives one a solid perspective of a topic.
His strategy for Mains was preparing 1-2 pages of notes on every topic from online sources. He topped it up by taking Smash Mains test series. He appreciates the feedback and inputs given by Sajal Sir after every test. This gave him a clear understanding of what to write and the points he had missed in an answer. After his selection for the interview round, he also enrolled in our Interview Guidance Program.
Heartiest congratulations to Divyansh Singh AIR 425 UPSC Civil Services 2020
