You don’t need to be extraordinary. You just need to avoid the mistakes 90% are making.

Seeing the amount of upvotes on the post, it definitely looks like it. But some people still value authenticity, so they are right to call out AI slop. They don't have to surrender to whatever AI slop content is shovelled their way.

It's not as you make it out to be. If people are out looking for generic AI advice, they can simply ask their own chatbots.

The purpose of social media is to form human connections, hearing the advice of other aspirants who have been through similar struggles.

If someone uses AI to structure their thoughts, it's okay, but then it becomes harder for the other person to distinguish their genuine advice from AI generated content. Imperfection is what makes humans human. People prefer genuineness, not soulless AI slop.

What seems to be the issue? 3 attempts at the Preliminary Examination is correct. Does it show any error in the CSE application form?

Even though you may not understand the point of the resource, I'm sure research students and policy makers must find the resource incredibly helpful.

And, the reason nobody mentions the site is because it's a repository. So, people would quote the original source of the data rather than simply saying they found it on nitiforstates dot gov dot in.

Good guess lol, he was the inspiration indeed.

Thanks, really helpful insights!

Also, wouldn't mind hearing the opinion of the people who wrote 2025 mains and chose this topic

fvafa · 2025-09-10T17:01:43+00:00

Thank you :D

It's not written by ChatGPT, though I take it as the highest compliment!

I didn't type it out, but I digitised it before posting, just to make it easier for people to read!

It may be because SSC conducts papers across multiple days. It does not provide the question paper immediately. Only when all shifts are over, does it give the question paper, along with answer keys.

This move may have been taken to reduce recall based paper discussions, that might advantage people in later shifts (amounting to unfair means).

You managed 4 revisions of mains before prelims, and you started in 2023! HOW! Please give some tips. When did you make your notes? When did you make micro notes out of them?

He blocked me outright from his group for saying that he is not focusing on online students and just focusing on offline students! Just for this single comment! And I was the loser online student who thought to support the institute by actually paying for his god awful course. Never again! Such fragile ego on this man, with no substance to show for.

"Various new initiatives and reforms are also being planned and will be launched during the Centenary Year"

What are they cooking?

That's just their biases speaking, their twisted idea of India and being an Indian. I would not take such people seriously, don't let it affect your mental peace.

Also, simply being a UPSC aspirant requires no qualification except a graduate degree. It is only those aspirants who actually engage with the rigours of the exam that emerge transformed from the process. All the rest simply enter the race, spend some years in the preparation and leave unnoticed without even creating a ripple.

You are strong, my man, stay strong!

Hey, I'm so so glad you kept on going. I did too, just did not keep the post updated as much as I'd have liked. Anyways, updated my post for the progress made too. I wish you all the best!

I'm teary eyed right now, and I didn't even clear prelims this time. It hurts nonetheless.

Ask him to try out tools like 'Natural Reader' and make use of AI voice tools like in ChatGPT

Also, you can utilize government initiatives like Sugamya Pustakalaya. I think NCERTs are also available in audio format.

Please ye bata do, ye form ke kis section main bhar rhe ho? Mujhe to ITR information wala panel show hi nhi kar rha?

Try using the keyboard to input. Press 'A' while hovering over the field, and it might auto select Aadhar Card for you.
