Yeah Because here I got a questions from the different perspective of my journey Even in an agricultural Sociological aspect of science and technology and my family background and the technological aspects So this diversity of questions helped me a lot to face any kind of questions in a real interviews. Okay So I think this is the one of the This is the one situation which helped me a lot. Super nice. I came to know that you have given Problems and mains Test series and classes and Shankara's Academy. How does that benefit you in your preparation and in the final examination? I started in 2018. Okay. I started my preparations in my college Finally, yeah, okay in that scenario. I have to come classes on Saturdays and Sundays Okay, so I'm just rich of Saturday and Sundays is filled with the UPSC preparation Yeah, so I gave the problems test here is here. Okay. The problems test series here is like The different questions like we could not expect what will come in the brilliance brilliance is like a nightmare We don't know what will come and what will not there is this code That they say everything under the Sun will be asked So this question helped me a lot to face any kind of questions. So I Residue the question from history quality geography. Now all these objects are so I have some kind of predictions Oh, okay, this kind of questions we may expect in the real situations So I think it may helpful for me in my problem's test. Okay. How about the mains? Yeah, even in my mind, so the correction is this actually one thing which helps me a lot Okay, how to improve my answers and then how to improve my the languages of my answers So I think it helps me a lot to improve my answers. Okay. What is your optional sociology sociology? Okay? Would you say that? Taking sociology as an optional helped you increase your main main smarts or would you recommend? Other students to take sociology as an optional. Yeah, it's because Sociology is not just a subject. It is like a society. We are living in. Okay. You're saying it's not more technical Yeah, it's more of a technical, but it's partially it is also very normal when we are experiencing our life Because we phase our questions from family system, caste system, religion. So it'll be easy to understand. Yeah, it is easy to understand Even the first paper you are facing I think us you have to read it from the textbook perspective in our first paper But in our second paper it is more about Indian sociology Indian society. So actually we are living in that society So we we capable to easily understand what the concepts because we know what is family what is caste what is religious So we have to learn from the technological perspective in sociology people So I think even it helped me in our interview panels as well because they asked the questions from Sociology related questions and then society related questions. Okay, so it helps me a lot. Okay, let's go Let's dig some of your Preparation techniques. How did you prepare like would you sit eight in the morning until? It is not like that. Actually, I usually wake up at 8 30 to 9 9 o'clock. I started my preparations around 10 10, okay It goes till two o'clock two o'clock and you'll have the lunch and then after I started my Newspaper it is one of the very important for you pairs of preparation Because the most of the prelims mains and the need of you the question is derived out of what is happening in and around us Yeah, so I think newspaper is is the first and foremost thing in our paper as a preparation So two to four it goes for a three to four. Okay, let me stop you there for a moment How much time will you take to read a newspaper? Yeah, actually I'm coming from Tamil medium school background for initial periods It takes nearly four hours for four hours. Okay in 2018 times and then after 2020 It comes to one and a half hours or two hours depends on the news people But in 2020 when it comes around one hour one hour 15 minutes So it is actually practice makes the man perfect. Okay, yeah, sure And how will you make notes like would would you? Maintain a separate note for the subjects and the current affairs and how was it? Yeah, I usually take notes from newspapers. Okay During my afternoon the newspaper be time two to three to four I take a note out of it for a prelims and then mains even for a mains I don't take that as a full stretch notes. Okay, just to make a point of just a topic Yeah, okay, just of the topic. So after when I studied it from the mains perspective I will get detailed things about it. Just I make a note of the topic And even in a prelims I take a note out of it That is even and till my interview preparations. I take a note from news people. Oh super nice So that helped you a lot. Would you revise it from your notes after before each and every examination? Yeah, sure because I revised before prelims and then before mains. Yeah, I did it. Okay. Thank you for sharing information with us And Finally, would you share your strategy or some of the tips or pointers for the viewers? Actually, there is a no strategy adults because every individual is the different persons everyone have the different timetables and the different sleeping time and the different studying true. True. Yeah I usually wake up at 9 or 8 30 to 9. Okay. Some people even studied at the 4 o'clock. Yeah. Different people have the different strategies So I think there is a no single strategy will help in the UPS. Okay So we have to learn that we have to clear UPS means we have to give our full potential. That's enough. Okay So coming from Tamil medium How was it give some pointers for the Tamil medium students also? Yeah, actually For a Tamil medium students we have to Uh Give some extra push towards our preparations compared to our English medium students Because they are already know the the terminal the technical birds and the terminologies in English But we are new to this field. So we have to give some extra push. They are studying for four hours When we have to study for five hours. So this is the thing we have to Do in our initial preparations because in my 2018 and the 19 days I give this but after the 2020 I accustomed with that. Oh, super. So this is the normal thing because everyone from Tamil medium will face this So give some extra push towards your English and the terminologies and the technical words Then it will be automatically easy for you. Okay. Thank you so much, Anjali and Galeta And you will be like an inspiration for all the students out there who haven't cleared yet And thank you and hope You have a bright future ahead. Thank you. Thank you so much
