The Union Public Services Commission (UPSC) on Tuesday declared the final results of the examination held in 2022. What is really fascinating about the results is the fact that top 4 positions are held by girls and there is only one boy in the top five rank-holders. A total of 933 candidates have been recommended by the UPSC for different services.
The topper of the civil services examination 2022 is Ishita Kishor. Reacting to her achievement, she said that one has to be disciplined and sincere to achieve this feat.
Garima Lohia, who secured AIR 2 in the prestigious examination, accomplished the feat without the assistance of any coaching. She had lost her father four years back but remained resolute to clear the examination.
"I started to prepare for the UPSC civil services in 2020 during the Covid-19 lockdown. I studied the basic books for UPSC preparation that everyone uses and also took the help of online resources," says the UPSC topper, as quoted by India Today.
"How long one studies is very subjective and differs from person to person. On some days, when I was in a mood, I would even study for 8-10 hours. On other days, I have even stopped at just 2-3 hours of study," Garima added.
She advised the UPSC aspirants to create their own personalised preparation strategies and study in an environment where they feel most comfortable, whether it is at home or elsewhere.
"Work hard, be consistent in your studies, stay disciplined and you will surely achieve success one day," she further said.
