Samajh nahi aa raha, unke liye khush hun ya apne liye dukhi. Living the 3 Idiots scene, lol!

What did you tell them that helped them clear this year's pre?

Mujhe bhi mentor kar do 2027 ke liye

Arvind

Khud apply karna bhool gaya, bhai, mentorship.

It doesn't say anything about you or your students.
It's a scathing indictment of UPSC itself. How sadistic does one have to be to set up three stages of an exam, each more unpredictable than the last? It's like first a toss, then a dice roll, then a casino slot machine. And for every stage, the entry fee is 4000 hrs of gut‑wrenching grind. No society ever benefits from such unpredictability.

Sometimes a good teacher isn't a good student.

Bro, share the secret with us too.

Trust me, this paper barely tested knowledge. It was more about whose luck worked that day. All of my peers cleared it, except me because I skipped this year's pre. Those who attempted 3‑5 times share the same view. So chin up, brother, take a break, then come back and study harder. All the best.

Must have made the stupid mistake of attempting less, like me...
