Q.1- Tell us something about yourself,your family ,when & why did you enter in this field of competitive examination?

I did my post graduation in2007 & got married the same year & moved to Bangalore as my husband was working there then.I went on to have a son & was busy raising him up.When he started going to school & i found myself with enough time to do something.RAS caught my attention as my brother was preparing for civil service exam then & my family and parents (both were in teaching) encouraged me to take up the challenge.

Q.2-Typical day in your study life ?

After clearing RAS pre ,I joined springboard academy for further prepration. & from there only i started preparing seriously.I completely relied upon the material provided to us there .I attended regular classes that helped building foundation of subjects &  notes helped me to revise topic effectively within short span.I took as many test as possible to keep the topics revised & updated.Along with this i used to read The hindu & one local newspaper daily.

Q.3-People know what books and syllabus points are to be prepared. But most of them lack consistency in their preparation. So, how do you keep study momentum going on? How do you fight against the mood swings and distractions?

FOR BOOKS-

 Since i read only laxmikant (polity) & rajasthan adhyayan apart from springboard notes, I personally felt no such problem,But for those who are preparing all by themselves , a good understanding of syllabus & practicing previous year question paper will do the thing.By going with the changing syllabus & pattern now in the RAS , i would like to advise the aspirants to go with the syllabus ,each & every topic mentioned in the syllabus should be covered to avoid uncertainty.

MOMENTUM ,MOOD SWINGS & CONSISTENCY-

Prepare a schedule & stick to it honestly ,for me to keep up the momentum ,make small targets like weekly or even daily & achieve them sincerely.Take frequent breaks & utilize them to rejuvenate,but i won't advise a break longer than 2 ,3 days at max while preparing for any competitive exam.

Q.4- Tips for prelims?

Basic concepts of history,polity,geography ,rajasthan gk,economy  & science ,practice maths and reasoning very well as it will help you in mains also &  keep your current knowledge updated.Take as many mock as possible because it is an art to attempt the paper after a certain point.

Q.5- Tips for language paper?

It is the most predictable paper among all 4.Just prepare grammar & practice writing essay ,precis,translation & comprehension.

Q.6- Format for answers- bullet or paragraph?

I wrote both depending upon nature of questions.

Q.7-Did you follow the introduction,body ,conclusion format?

No, only things i tried to care for while writing answer in mains were-The flow should not break,the answer should look homogeneous.It should be balanced yet dynamic & should convey your thoughts.

Q.8-Approach in exam.?

I tried to attempt all the questions but avoided attempting questions demanding clear facts in answers which i was clueless about.I attempted start to finish to avoid any chaos.

Q.9- Did you draw any diagram?

Yes, I  used diagram or flow chart or tables wherever possible & i believe it enhances the quality of your answers.

Q.10-How did you prepare for RAS Interview ?

I attended mock at springboard academy.

INterview was mainly based upon my DAF, graduation subjects,current affairs & hobbies.

Q.12-Through this struggle and success, what have your learned? What is the wisdom of life and competition? What is your message to the new aspirants?

I have learnt that it's never too late to start something new we just have to remove the mental block and push the boundries to come out of comfort zone.If we try something with all our focus & determination,there is no reason we can't achieve our goal.
