Success Story of IAS Qualified Students
Anupam Saha (26) from backward Kalahandi’s
Kesinga town has cracked Civil Service Examination (IAS) with 35th rank.
Results of the exam were declared on Friday. An electrical engineer by
qualification, Anupam cleared the exam in his third attempt. Given his top rank
among successful Odia candidates and his first preference, he is likely to
secure Odisha cadre.
Q-How did you prepare?
A-It is a three-stage
examination, i.e., prelims, mains and interview and this was my third attempt.
For the prelims, I studied extensively from the syllabus and emphasized on current
affairs. Clarity of concept is the key to success in the preliminary test.
Intensive study, answer writing practice with emphasis on presentation is of
utmost importance in the mains. At the interview, what I feel is the board
tries to assess the aptitude of the candidate for a career in civil services by
asking questions from diverse fields.
Q-How was your interview?
A-My interview lasted for 25
to 30 minutes. I was interviewed by Alka Sirohi's board. The questions asked
were on contempt of court, knowledge economy of India and its scope and
challenges, questions on challenges in higher education in India, difference of
demographic problems between developed and developing world, Malthusian theory
and its relevance in current era, National Sample Survey Organization and its
scope and significance, whether the state government was justified in releasing
the alleged Maoists from jail, why I left my previous job and to elaborate
"not taking a decision itself is a very good decision."
Q-Can someone get into IAS without attending a coaching?
A-Coaching makes the
preparation time-bound and keeps the competition spirit high. But it is the
time one spends on his/her own study table that matters in the examination
hall. I consistently studied for seven to eight hours everyday. I did take
coaching. But many cleared the examination without going for coaching. So
joining a coaching or not is a personal call.
Q- What are the problems for preparing for the civil
services in Odisha?
A-I did my entire preparation
in Delhi. I am not exactly aware about the problems faced by candidates who are
preparing in Odisha. But I feel we lack an atmosphere for preparation here.
Q-What will be your advice for aspirants?
A-Plan well and work hard.
Have confidence in yourself, success will be yours.
Q-What is the importance of college teaching in civil
services?
A-I did my graduation in
electrical engineering, but I opted for geography and public administration as
optionals. I had an inherent interest in geography right from my school days
and I thought public administration will be useful for me in my career. Apart
from that, these subjects are high scoring and there is no dearth of study
material and guidance. Good academic background is definitely helpful. But
there is a big gulf between the academic curriculum followed by universities
and the demand of the UPSC examination.
Q-What is your education background?
A-I did my initial schooling
from Saraswati Sishu Mandir, Kesinga. I passed my matriculation from Kesinga
Vidyapitha. I studied in vernacular medium till Class X. Then I studied +2
science from BJB college Bhubaneswar. After that, I joined the prestigious National
Institute of Technology, Rourkela.
Q-What was the motivation to prepare for civil services?
A-It is the top most career
in India in the government sector. Job satisfaction is of the highest order. It
gives the opportunity to be part of the nation building process.
Q-What can be done by the government to improve state's
performance in the exam?
A-The government should start
thinking of promoting candidates preparing for the civil services as done by
various other state governments. The state government can infuse enthusiasm
into the civil services aspirants by providing financial assistance to the
needy and deserving people. Such steps have paid rich dividends in some states
and there has been a substantial improvement in the number of people selected
from these states in the last 3 to 5 years.
