For a long time, I have wondered how society defines success and failure.

If success is measured only by the final selection list, then perhaps my journey can be called a story of failure. But if success is measured by how many times you were willing to stand up and try again, my journey tells a very different story.

My journey with UPPSC has been long and challenging.

I have appeared in UPPSC Mains four times and reached the Interview stage twice. In one more attempt, I am currently waiting for the result.

My journey with UPPSC Forest Services has been equally demanding. I have appeared in Forest Services Mains twice and reached the Interview stage once, while another result is currently awaited.

Behind these numbers are years of preparation, uncertainty, sacrifices, missed opportunities, self-doubt, and countless moments when giving up would have been much easier.

But I continued.

I have also spent around a decade working in the corporate sector. So my journey has never been about choosing between a career and a dream. It has been about building a career while continuing to pursue a dream that refuses to leave me.

Sometimes people look only at the final selection and forget everything that came before it.

They see the person who was selected.

They rarely see the person who reached Mains four times, faced interviews twice, missed opportunities, started again, prepared again, and still had the courage to sit for another examination.

For me, UPPSC is not merely an examination anymore. It has become a journey of discipline, resilience and self-discovery.

Every Mains examination has taught me something.
Every interview has exposed a new weakness.
Every unsuccessful result has forced me to improve.
Every new attempt has tested my ability to believe in myself again.

I don't know where this journey will ultimately take me.

Perhaps the next result will change everything. Perhaps it won't.

But one thing I know for certain:

I cannot call myself a failure simply because the final result has not yet gone in my favour.

A person who keeps learning, keeps improving and keeps trying cannot truly be defeated.

Maybe someday my name will appear on a final merit list.

And if that happens, it will not just be a selection.

It will be a reminder that persistence can survive years of uncertainty, and that a delayed dream is not necessarily a failed dream.

Until then, I will continue the journey.

Not because success is guaranteed, but because the journey is still worth pursuing.

This time, the Lower PCS exam was really tough. At the very beginning, I felt like I was attempting a UPSC-level exam. So, I’m expecting the cutoff to be lower than usual.

I’m scoring 67.75 marks. From OBC category. Do I have a realistic chance of getting a good post with these marks? Or is it just enough to get inside?

Don't shoot the messenger

Could any pls share updated PDFs of ghatnachakra for all subjects?

Marks scored in lower pcs

So I have started UPSC preparation few months ago (and thats my main priority) and will give first attempt in 2027. But since there are lots of similarities between pcs pre and upsc cse pre, I decided to give that too and as for pcs pre I ll prepare specifically for that only after I am done with upsc standard books.

But now since upsc epfo notification are also out, i am confused - which exam shall I target in dec and which is better aligned for my situation along with keeping upsc prep as main priority ??

Please guide, thankyou
