About Me

I am Anudeep Durishetty, IAS officer of 2018 batch and All India Rank 1 in the UPSC Civil Services Examination 2017. I secured this rank in my 5th attempt. Over the course of my long tryst with UPSC, I had learnt a lot from my mistakes and I consciously worked to rectify them. I intend this blog to be a repository of my experience so that you don’t repeat the same errors. You’ll find posts on my journey so far, preparation strategy for GS, essay, optional, answer writing and other peripheral aspects relevant to Civils preparation. Aspirants may post their queries in the comments section.

Apart from these, I also plan to write about topics of general interest that fascinate me. I am a native of Telangana and my hobbies are football, reading and meditation. I love Arsenal, Lionel Messi and Roger Federer.

          • Sir,
            You can prepare for this exam without taking any coaching. You can take help from internet. The only thing you need is focus and dedication. Start from NCERT and try to read English newspaper daily(You can read The Indian Express). And for improving your communication skills, you need to word hard on it. Start with listening. Then try to speak or write. You will definitely improve your communication skills. Just believe in yourself. You can do it.
            Best of luck
            Regards
            Mridul.
