Gamini Singla stood all India third in the UPSC CSE 2021 exam rankings. Just a year before, she didn’t even make it past the first stage – the Prelims. What did she do differently this time? In this book, Gamini gives you all her strategies and also the lessons she learnt from her mistakes – from exactly how to plan your day, take effective notes, to exercise routines while you study. But most importantly, she argues that preparing psychologically for the exams, from dealing with self-doubt and anxiety to building confidence, is what will take you across the finish line. A book not just for all UPSC candidates but also for anyone giving competitive exams, How I Topped the UPSC is a no-holds barred book full of so many hacks and so much honesty – you won’t need anything else to succeed.
