Hello everyone, Iam Rishab Jain, i secured All India Rank 23 in UPSC CSE 2018. I'll tell you my story. Let me know if I'm an average or below average person Failed for the first time in a subject in my tenth standard Studied in TN state board. Got 85.2% in tenth In twelfth, got 84.66%. Again only state board. During my twelfth I had heard of AIEEE but not IIT JEE. I had no idea that IIT’s even exists. (Poor me). When I thought of appearing in AIEEE, one of my chemistry teacher said, ‘AIEEE is based on CBSE syllabus, we read state board syllabus, hence its not of much use’. So didn't apply for AIEEE Got admission in a college in Chennai due to someone's recommendation in Electronics and Communication Engineering. One of my friend had called me to a cultural in IIT-M. That's for the first time I had stepped into IIT and felt I missed studying in such a huge campus. First sem, 7 GPA with one backlog Second sem, 6 point something with one backlog. Could only

Below Avg Student Himanshu Kaushik Cracked the UPSC Exam

-
After completion of graduation you Just have 1 year for Exam so i think this is the best strategy to crack the exam 👇

I am mentioning the list of books of Himanshu Kaushik

 which he followed during his UPSC Preparation. He Secured AIR 77 in UPSC CSE 2017 in First Attempt 

Infact He has two Backlogs in his graduation and finally he completed his graduation with a percentage of 68.

Here you can see that Below Average Students can also clear this exam so Don't lose hope.


MAIN POINTS TO REMEMBER

1. NCERTs are mandatory. Start from VIII standard and go up to XII. Don’t read every NCERT. I have mentioned the useful ones.

2.  No need to read bulky books. Our motive is to clear the exam and not to research on subjects. It is General Studies hence require a general level of understanding. Only in optional subject, you need to have a specific knowledge of Post Graduation Level.

3. Newspaper should be read on daily basis. For English Medium, Either the Hindu or The Indian Express can be referred. GS Preparation is incomplete without newspaper.

4. Coaching material can be replaced with source of your choice. I joined Vajiram and hence referred their yellow books. You are free to follow reading material of other institutes or standard books.

5. Online and Offline combination. A good combination of online and offline sources helps. Opt for online videos if you think the topic is too heavy for you and you need extra help.
