Deepak Tayal, a 1996 batch graduate from IIT Delhi, who has secured third rank in IAS this year: "No amount of extra coaching will help you unless you target your knowledge well. I never took any extra guidance for the test but I had a firm conviction, good exposure and was confident of achieving the goal." Tayal, son of an engineer residing in Panchkula, currently works with International Business Machines in Bangalore.
Deepak, who was lower down in IAS ranking in his first attempt last year, says his job left him with only two or three hours to study every day and he did not increase his study hours when his preparations were in the final stage. Instead, "I analysed my shortcomings and got more composed this time." Both times Deepak took Physics and Maths in the prelims and mains. |
