IAS Officer Shares Tips on How Not to Fail UPSC Civil Services Exams

There is no denying the fact that the Union Public Service Commission competitive exam is a tough nut to crack. Every year, lakhs of people sit for it with dreams to reach the other side, but only a few manage to achieve what they aim for. Awanish Sharan, IAS officer, Chhattisgarh cadre, batch 2009, took to Twitter to share a video containing tips related to the UPSC Civil Services Exam, but with a twist.

Rather than sharing tips to crack the exam, Sharan shared a minute-long clip of tips on how to fail the competitive exam. The in-text in the video reads, “How to fail UPSC SCE in 60 seconds.”

Sharing the clip, Sharan, in the caption, wrote, “How to fail UPSC Civil Services Exam. Well explained.” The hilarious twist was well-received by netizens and hopefully aspirants will take note to avoid these tips if they plan to crack the exam.
