IAS PCS Pathshala

Hi Everyone, I'll upload THE PLANNER within 1 hour, bas thodi formatting karni hai Planner me so that you can take the printout and use it.

Hi everyone,

I’ve been getting many questions about how to fill service preferences and hobbies in the DAF - what to write and how much to include. To help you with this, I’ll upload a video tomorrow morning explaining everything in detail.

This year, I’ve gone through more than 600 DAFs while helping candidates prepare for their UPSC interviews, so I have a fair idea of how to handle these sections effectively. That is why don’t worry - we’ll discuss everything step by step.

Also some of you struggling with hobbies part( those who don’t have a clear hobby to write about), I’ll also explain what you can do in such cases.


Happy Leanring :)

From tomorrow, the CSE interviews will commence, marking the final stage of this CSE cycle

Important things to carry for CSE Interview D-day:

1. e-Summon letter

2. Passport size photos (3-6) - mandatory 2 photos for interview, (10 for medical)

3. Photo ID card (as mentioned in e summon letter)

4. 10th certificate/marksheet original

5. Graduation degree / provisional degree / 8th sem summary marksheet + rest semester marksheet just for reference purpose - original (Post grad degree if required)

6. Caste /EWS /PwD certificate

7. One set of self attested documents ( if possible take another spare set also)

8. Affidavit-(In case there is discrepancy- if any, check your mail for the same, upsc must have communicated to you if any undertaking or Affidavits is needed)

9. T.A. bills related stuff if you are claiming it like Flight tickets etc


10. Do not panic if you have missed on some of the documents or if some issue have been raised by the document examiner/UPSC deligate with your documents. (This is a preliminary document verification only, you will get ample time for required original documents submission.)

Just focus more on your interview. Remain Clam. Everything will be managed after the interview.


You are among the few thousand out of the lakhs who have made it this far.
So, enter Dholpur House with full confidence. Give your absolute best and present your finest version.

Remember, the board members are there to select you - you just need to give them a reason to do so.

All the very best my warriors

पताका फहरा के आना है ❤️❤️

Wishing you a top rank :)

Hello my dear students,

As we welcome 2025, my heart is filled with deep respect for each one of you on this journey. Across every corner, I know there’s an aspirant burning the midnight oil, struggling with concepts, balancing family expectations, and battling self-doubt.

Each day you’re not just growing as an aspirant...you’re evolving into a stronger and better version of yourself.

In 2025, be kind to yourself on tough days. Celebrate the small victories. Find strength in your "why". Yes, there's still a path ahead, but you're stronger now, wiser, and more resilient.

Whether it’s your first attempt or last, whether you’re preparing in a metro city or a small town - your dream is valid, and your efforts matter. You are the master of your fate, You are the the captain of your soul.


I’m proud to be a part of your journey - sometimes as an elder brother, sometimes as a guide, sometimes as a mentor, and sometimes, simply as Rahul. But at the end you are all my family.

Keep moving forward. Your story of transformation is already being written, and it’s going to inspire many.

Happy New Year to all my students ❤️


With heartfelt wishes,
Rahul
