Turning Setbacks into Comebacks: Lessons for UPSC Hopefuls | ft. Anirudh Aggarwal

Aswathy Srinivas AIR 40, Avinash V AIR 31, Faizan Ahmed AIR 58 and Ashish Kumar Mishra AIR 58 in conversation with Anirudh Aggarwal (Pathfinder) regarding the challenges they have faced during their preparation. Setbacks are a natural part of any competitive exam journey. Encourage candidates to view failures as opportunities for growth, learning, and building resilience. Share stories of successful candidates who faced failures initially but persisted and achieved success later.
3:55 Please tell us about your LBSNAA experience:
- What happens during the training?
- How the government plays an important role in grooming you for this tough job?"
11:47 In foreign services you have to represent your country, learn new languages and the tasks that are at hand during academy and after academy and currently you are also undergoing through a training so can you tell us about it a little more?
13:30 I would like to add one more thing
14:28 The academy places us in situations where camaraderie can be built.
14:44 One of the senior retired IAS officer said: In services your network is your NET WORTH
13:03 The academy helps you lose all the prejudices.
15:36 Was there anything that was maybe a prejudice in your mind about the UPSC but now has changed or has been proven correct?
17:44 LBSNAA's training can alter a person's personality.
18:01 LBSNAA is one of the strictest training academy in the country?
17:47 Aswathy did you have to write a lot of memos?
21:21 You really don't have to fit into any kind of notion, be yourself!
23:28 Avinash, your experience was very different as compared to your seniors, any one incident you would want to share with us?
25:49 Training of an IFS officer is very different from that of an IAS officer and that is not limited to LBSNAA. Would you like to tell our aspirants about hwo is it different from the training at LBSNAA?
Also, you have to learn a foreign language; what is the process for that? Tell us something about it, please."
27:58:00 Let's talk about the Bharat Darshan at LBSNAA?
34:10:00 Day 2 you had to join for your district training, tell us how was the experience and how you managed once you took the charge?
36:45:00 What was the first responsibility you took on when you took charge?
37:49:00 Any incident you will always remember from while you were in charge?
40:40:00 Since you come from a Hindi speaking state and you have a non-Hindi-speaking state, How did you tackle the language barrier?
42:31:00 Ashish, how was your experience during your first charge?
48:14:00 Avinash, since I know you still have a charge to take up, can you tell our aspirants, if someone is taking up IFS, what is the process after LBSNAA?
So for an IFS officer, what is the first charge that you will have to take?"
51:20:00 Let's talk about the optional subjects.
51:38:00 What all points should an aspirant keep in their mind while selecting their optional subject?
58:43:00 Do tell us why you didn't choose Mechanical as your optional?
1:01:33 Choosing an optional is like choosing a life partner. It can make or break everything.
1:06:11 Ease of availability of material is also important
1:06:33 One more thing I would like to add - there is a general misconception regarding anthropology anc sociology optional syllabus
1:08:15 UPSC has started normalising the score of all optionals
Each setback is a chance to refine study techniques and approaches. Candidates should be adaptable to any change in their strategies. What worked for one candidate might not work for another, so it's important to experiment and find what suits their learning style best.
