    Act V: Retreat Plan

    You must prepare with a positive attitude that Ill study hard and Ill get selected

    But at the same time, you should also be prepared for the worst case scenario.

    The reasons are following

    1. Pass or fail, UPSC takes away one year of life. Then youd think since Ive invested so muchtime, energy and money, let me given another attempt. For a serious player, this cyclekeeps repeating until he gets selected or he is out of the game because of age/attempt limit.

    2. If you reach mains/interview stage, youll earn respect of the fellow players but outside thisUPSC game, it means nothing. Nobody will give you job (or hand of his daughter) justbecause you had cleared prelims or mains.

    [Strategy] UPSC Civil Service Exam (Part 5 of 5) Career Backup Plans:How to prepare for State PSC etc

    Mrunal (http://mrunal.org/)

  • In short there are no consolation prizes for participating in UPSC. For More elaboration CLICKME (http://mrunal.org/2012/07/jbps-no0b.html)

    Career Backup plans usually involve following sectors

    1. Allied UPSC exams (IES,IFS,Geologist, SCRA, CDS,CPF etc.)2. State Government/ State PSC exams3. Bank /PSU/LIC/ONGC/SSC type jobs4. Professor type jobs (UGC NET/JRF)5. Doing PG/MBA/moving abroad6. Returning to private company job7. Starting your Business

    If your backup plan is #1 to #3, then (free) subscribe to this blogsarkarinaukriblog.com/(http://www.sarkarinaukriblog.com/):it will give you free email notification on any upcoming jobexams, so you dont have to manually check every site.

    And it is all easier said than done. You might feel ya Ill become bank PO or State PSC, whatsthe big deal? Such pappu exams are no match for my caliber!The big deal is, no exam is a pappu exam as long as there are two people competing for onevacancy.And there are always existing serious players from those fields dedicated for aparticular exam 24/7. The competition is intense everywhere. So dont take any competitiveexam for granted.At the same time, you shouldnt be so extremely occupied with backup plans that you cantallot enough time for UPSC preparation,

    The purpose of writing this article is

    1. Because Prevention is better than cure.2. There are good opportunities outside UPSC also. So failure in UPSC =not the end of life or

    career.

    Allied UPSC exam (IES,IFS,Geologist, SCRA, CDS,CPF etc.)

    First step: check age, educational eligibility in advance.

  • http://www.upsc.gov.in/ (http://www.upsc.gov.in/)

    E.g. To apply for Indian Economist/Statistical/Geologist/Forest service, one would need to havespecialized degrees in certain science/commerce/engineering fields.

    Then check old papers: http://www.upsc.gov.in/questionpaper/index.htm#PageTop(http://www.upsc.gov.in/questionpaper/index.htm#PageTop)

    GK/GS would remain more or less the same. (for CPF, GS MCQ paper is almost identical to IASprelims)

    For whatever is different consult a serving officer or Government college Professor of that fieldand seek the booklist-strategy. e.g. Indian Forest Service, theyve separate set of optionalsubjects, and youre unlikely to find any tips on google search.

    State PSC: Pujnab, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh etc.

    Important notes about these exams

    1. According to Government rules, 1/3 of All India services vacancies are to be filled by StateService promotes.

    That means, ifMaharashtrastate cadre has 300 posts for IAS, Then 200 posts will be manned upby Direct IAS officers recruited through UPSC Civil Service exam and 100 will be manned bygiving promotion to Deputy Collectors (Maha.Administrative Service) who were recruitedviaMaharashtraState PSC. These are referred as Nominated/Promotee IAS.Similarly

    DySP (State PSC) => DSP (IPS)Deputy Conservator of Forest (DCF) (State Forest Service)=> Conservator of Forest (IFS)

    Ofcourse some states may have different nomenclatures and posts, but overall principle isthis^.

    So being in State service is also good. But at the same time nomination depends on manyvariables, including your service record, Cadre strength, your own seniority in State ServiceBatch etc.

    rd

  • 2. State PSC recruitment are usually not held at regular interval. E.g. If Punjab PSC is held in2013, there is no guarantee theyll hold it again in 2014 or 2015. (because it depends onVacancies and retirements.) So whenever there is notification, go ahead and apply. Dontwait for your UPSC age/attempt to reach at the end level before executing backupplan.

    3. State PSC results often get tangled in court stay-orders because of irregularity/corruptionallegations etc. So even if State PSC is your backup, also think of a tertiary backup, else youmight cross the age limit for other exams.

    How to Prepare for State PSC?

    The exam structure would remain more or less the same as UPSC. (prelims, mains,interview)The difference is in depth and breadth of questions.

    First buy class 7 to 12 History, Social Science, Geography textbooks of particular StateEducation Board.Also buy guides and digests for Class 10 and 12.Thatll help you gather the GK/GS specific to that state.Also buy some (bogus) readymade book/ coaching material meant for giving youinformation of particular state, its history, geography, culture etc.

    Second task is to get the old papers to check out the trend.

    a. If available on internet, download themb. If old papersets are available in market then go ahead buy it.c. if not available then file R.T.I and ask them to provide it in CD/DVD format. (because

    papercopy cost will be high)

    in papersets youve to see following

    a. Topicwise breakup (usually, though not always, State PSC are mostly History-Geograpy-Trivial Current GK type MCQs)

    b. Question style. Is it like 90s stuff -dates, names and numbers or do they test yourunderstanding and intelligence.

  • Then prepare accordingly. Booklist remains more or less the same as you had for UPSCexam but what differs is how you look at the topics.For the mains, State PSC usually have direct static type of questions. So just mugupeverything and practice answer-writing for static questions asked in previous StatePSC/UPSC exams.For History etc. (optionals) consult the Government university papers of State.Also use newspaper for current affairs related to the State. (but I assume youd already bedoing it part of your profile based interview questions for UPSC.)

    Bank/PSU/SSC type jobs

    They usually have two phases: MCQs and interview

    MCQ test usually has four segments

    a. GKb. Mathsc. Reasoningd. English

    While GK will not give you much trouble, Aptitude part (Maths,Reasoning) will require heavyefforts and Data interpretation requires quick-calculation.

    RS Agarwals book on Verbal and Non-Verbal reasoning (http://www.flipkart.com/search-book?affid=mrunalrugm&wgtid=FK-AF-SB&query=9788121905510)

    (+Sarvesh Kumar) should save the day.

    Professor type jobs (UGC NET/SLET/JRF etc.)

    These ones require Post Graduation (or 4 year BE/MBBS type course). So first get the idea onage/educational requirements.Then youve to face MCQ questions on GS,comprehension, particular (optional) subject.If you dont have a Post graduation degree, what to do? Simple enroll to any IGNOU programand get distant education degree (MA/MBA/MCA/MSW whatever suits you.)But enroll as early as possible. Why? It takes two years to complete PG course from IGNOU

  • (even if youve Public Administration/socio optional, and you have the brains to clearIGNOUs two years exam in one daystill youll need to wait for two years to get the finaldegree).They also have launched some on-demand exam thing. But the webportal wasnt properlyworking, the last time I tried. You might want to look into that part too.

    Doing PG

    Post graduation degrees are of following types

    1. One that has not much value in market (IGNOU except for Professor type jobs)2. Specialized Professional Degrees (Government vs Self financed college)3. MBA

    Q1. Should I do PG or not?

    In India weve a problem of academic inflation. Every tom, dick and harry has got a PGdegree, so if you dont have a stupid paper certificate in your file, then it creates problemwhile looking for private co. jobs.In certain places, weightage is given to PG degree (CAT/IIM, UGC, specialized recruitment forcertain jobs via UPSC and State PSC eg. Food Commissioner or Social welfare officer)Same goes for matrimonial ads hahaha.

    My advice: there is no harm in going for first type of degree (IGNOU)

    Reasons are following

    1. Fee is cheap (around 8000.)2. Their degree is legit for various Government jobs3. You can get first class without any effort. Atmost 15 days of preparation is sufficient

    (because they repeat questions from last five years papers) and they give booklets. Thus youcan enroll for the program even while preparing for UPSC, Bank, CAT or State PSC oranything else.

    4. You dont need to attend college.

  • Ofcourse such degrees dont have much value in market but then, at this investment (Rs.8k and15 days) we cant complaint! Good to add one more certificate in the file (because of theacademic inflation).

    Infact this is highly recommended for CAT aspirants whore not getting interview call for IIMs,because their profile score is low.

    Coming to the second type of degrees

    Specialized Professional degrees

    Can be of two types:

    1. M.E., M.S., M.Tech etc. from a reputed college recognized by UGC/AICTE.2. Degree has vocational value but not recognized for Government jobs. (e.g. doing M.Sc

    Clinical research from self-financed college that doesnt have AICTE approval. )

    Even if you cross age/attempt limit of UPSC or State PSC, there are always somespecializedrecruitmentconducted for certain Government jobs later on, where youll be eligible.But then theyd ask for work experience and PG. So ideally one should go to a course recognizedby UGC/AICTE because then it is automatically recognized for Government jobs.

    When it comes to second category (professional degree, not recognized by UGC/AICTE) beextremely careful in course selection.Many mushroom courses and institutes have popped up recently.For one or two yearsthere is good demand (because new MNCs would have come and very few people had thedegree in particular field), but then self financed institutes popup in every nook andcorner=over saturation of labor force = you cant get decent placement. (e.g. M.Pharm andAirhostess in Gujarat.)Such courses drain away two years of your life, 2-8 lakhs out of your pocket +hardly upwardcareer/salary movement +calculate the house-rent, electricity bill, LPG connection, child-education in big city..Ofcourse glass is both half full and half empty. There will be some people with high caliberwho rise on the top, in particular field, even when there isover-saturationof labour force.But do your own research on future career prospects, before investing time and money in

  • such courses, dont blindly follow crowds andadvertisements.

    MBA

    How to prepare for CAT, explained here Click ME (http://mrunal.org/2012/07/studyplan-cat.html), same should also help for other exam SNAP, CMAT, MAT etc. with slight modifications.

    Problem: Although the courageous shall prevail, but journey is not easy.All your past folliesstart haunting you. Even if you get decent score in CAT, still your low score in 10-12-Graduation-PG, No extra curricular, low work xp, Everything Is given weightage before calling you forinterview and giving final admission. (IIM Calcutta exception). AndMBA is no panacea for everyproblem. It depends

    If the institute is highly reputed, then all well and good.But If youre already 28-30 years old (after UPSC adventures), there is not much point ingetting admission in some half*** MBA college and wasting 2 more years + 10 lakh rupees.(donot go by average placement packages. they dont tell your the correct picture.)

    And yes glass is both half full and half empty.

    Epilogue

    1. Notesmaking + Revision = time tested formula for success in UPSC exam.2. With hard work (and good luck), Success = possible irrespective of coaching/no-

    coaching/job/no-job/first-attempt/last-attempt/English/Non-english3. BUT Never put all eggs in one basket.
