Targeting: Success requires consistency and planning

The geography of Lanpur has a habit of being rife with history. Chandrakant Bakshi's acidic mood can waft through the air there and Pranav Mistry's sixth sense can be at your fingertips. Tejas Parmar was born in the same Pratibhanagari Palanpur. Father Dilipbhai was an engineer in the water resources department. Mother Ramila Ben is a housewife. He stood first in the state in both eighth and ninth grade in the state-level talent search competition. Marks above 90 percent in class-10th and 12th. Thought of securing future by taking professional degree. in Mechanical Engineering from National Institute of Technology, Surat. Took a job in Jamshedpur. The idea was to prepare with his own money. First attempt given with job. No success. I thought of quitting my job. Passed the 'SPIPA' exam and left the job with the accumulated capital. Decisions to leave a job are not easy. Income addiction is as intense as drugs. Now a palace of dreams was being built between the four walls of Spipa. N. C. R. T. Started with the books of E. U. P. S. C. read the famous references, but the first attempt failed due to crude preparation and short time. But Tejasbhai fell on the second attempt thinking that the last wound was Rana's. In addition to basic books, online resources were widely used. Took the help of video lectures. Made mind maps to remember easily. Notes should be such that revision can be done a week before the exam. Five-six hours daily of General Studies, another five-six hours of Gujarati literature as main optional subject and another one-two hours of current affairs. Eleven to twelve hours of reading daily. I had faith in myself, that faith sometimes wavered. Time burns the skin like melting wax, but there is heroism in not leaving the library chair. He gave up social media, only using 'Whats App' or 'Telegram'. Doing yoga in the morning and playing table tennis in the evening to refresh the mind. Love of music and movies is true. Exam preparation should be done not under the burden of anxiety but with enthusiasm to learn something new. First attempt failed due to lack of proper focus in the 'Sisset' paper. Again practice properly, adopt strategy to solve maximum number of questions. The gates of the manse open like the keeper of an impregnable castle, and behind the vast wilderness, lost directions await the aspirant without a compass. Special writing practice was not done by writing papers. Wrote four-five essays. He used to sit with a friend every night and write some questions. Completing the paper was a big challenge. Accuracy is hard to match with speed. Only useful if both brain and hand make Wi-Fi connection at high processing speed. Diagrams were also made where necessary. Himself a student of Gujarati medium. It is natural that Gujarati literature becomes a natural choice. Basso encapsulated the essence of literature in the page notes. U. P. S. C. The final door to the impenetrable fortress of the civil services exam and the impenetrable basement is the personality test. Tejasbhai's interview lasted for about half an hour. He himself was the captain of the under-16 school cricket team and was fond of table tennis. Asked questions about it. Questions ranging from tobacco, smoking, women's reservation in parliament, GST to Gujarati literature were asked. Tejas Parmar's austerities led to Lakshyavedha. In the second attempt he came. A. S. Became an officer. He got Gujarat cadre. Currently he is the Managing Director of Madhya Gujarat Power Company. Tejas Parmar says, 'Some aspirants just rely on the highly uncertain Civil Services exam without planning. If it succeeds, it is good, but if it is not successful, other roads are not open. So a backup plan is essential.' Consistency and planning are the pearls of Tejas Parmar's targeting experience.}
