Deputy Secretary in the Department of Public Works Somanath G.P. on Wednesday said failure in one examination should be considered as an experience or a stepping stone to taste success in the ensuing examinations and added that the aspirants of competitive examinations, including civil services, should also always keep in mind that only hard work yields results.
Speaking after inaugurating a 50-day coaching camp for KAS and other competitive examinations organised by the Competitive Examination Coaching Centre of the Karnataka State Open University (KSOU) in Mysusu, he said some aspirants might find competitive examinations conducted for government jobs tough. The competition for government jobs is usually high. “If you prepare and face the exams with confidence, you can achieve success,” he said while addressing the candidates of the coaching camp.
Discipline, focussed approach to studies, and planning for the exams are key to preparing for the competitive examination. “Until you reach your goal, you should not look back and get distracted. The coaching especially for the aspirants from rural areas is very helpful,” he said.
