CAREERS
This is the season for the IAS interviews; the ‘personality test’ (PT). A season for preparing and appearing for the final show in the hallowed corridors of the Union public service commission (UPSC) , nearly at the end of a year-long exercise of the civil services examination (CSE). MLakhs of young aspirants rehearse, mock the exercise, sweat, stumble and strive to get through ‘the last mile’ of the journey. Indeed a handsome quantity of marks obtained in the PT can give you a helpful push over the gravity-defying zone of the selected group if you have barely crossed over the Mains’ obstacle. On the other hand, in case of a very good performance in the Mains exam, the PT marks can literally launch you onto the moon orbits.
