Hi guys. The UPSC 2023 Final results might be declared soon. | Clarity for UPSC by Dr.Shivin (AIR - 297)

Hi guys.
The UPSC 2023 Final results might be declared soon. (I'm not an insider, I don't know when they will be here, just going off of what is doing the rounds).

I'm writing this message for all of you who have given the interview, and are currently just that - aspirants who have reached the interview stage. Before the result, you're all in the same boat, riding in the sea of anxiety, stress, tension. I'm sure a common feeling must be 'koi bhi rank aa jaye'.

I'm just hopeful that all of you who make it, will remember this feeling. Remember this moment right now, when you have self doubt, anxiety and stress. Remember this moment when you know how much luck matters at the final stage. Keep the memory of this moment with you when you see your name in the holy PDF. Whatever topper talks / strategy talks etc. you give after you've made it, remember to be absolutely truthful about everything. How difficult it was, how scared you were.

As far as coaching institutes are concerned, I dont see any harm in acknowledging efforts of those who have helped you. However, I would recommend just 2 things here. Firstly, do not accept any cash for promoting a coaching. I know for a fact that you will be offered. I can say with pride that I declined every such offer I was given last year. What sort of integrity you will have as an officer for the rest of your career will be decided in these few days. Secondly, when mentioning a coaching, be specific about what helped you. If someone / something has been helpful, be completely open about it, it is your duty to the aspirant community.

Lastly, to those who might not make it in the final list. Firstly, remember that getting this far was no easy feat. You have done a great job, you should be proud of yourself. Secondly, always remember that you've displayed the skills of perseverence, hardwork and committment. This is not a small feat. Wherever you choose to go after this, be it UPSC or your backup plan, I am sure you will do great, because of the skills you have demonstrated.

I am PROUD of you.
I am HERE for you.
