Meet IAS officer Vibhor Bhardwaj, used AI for preparation, cleared UPSC twice, his AIR was..., he is from...
IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj (File) UPSC Success Story: The UPSC Civil Services Examination (CSE) is arguably one of the toughest recruitment exams in India, and aspirants use a wide range of methods to prepare for this formidable test. While some rely on coaching classes, others find self-study to be a more sturdy option. However, IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj, a young IAS officer from Uttar Pradesh, used a completely different approach to prepare for UPSC CSE, he made use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enhance his subject knowledge, and prepare for the final interview. Who is IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj? Born in Uttarawali, a small village in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh, Vibhor Bhardwaj earned his MSc degree in Physics from the Hansraj College, Delhi University, and afterwards began preparations to clear the UPSC CSE and realize his lifelong dream of becoming a civil servant. Vibhor Bhardwaj chose Physics as his optional subject for the UPSC exam, and relied on online coaching classes and self-made notes to prepare for the tough recruitment test. His efficient preparation strategy enabled him to quickly prepare for UPSC CSE prelims, and cover the entire UPSC Mains syllabus with a span of just seven months. In an interview, Vibhor revealed that carefully studied previous UPSC CSE question papers, and used these as a guide to strategize his preparation. He also focused on daily news and current affairs, in addition to regular mock tests, which further sharpened his knowledge. How Vibhor Bhardwaj used AI to crack UPSC? Interestingly, a key part of Vibhor Bhardwaj's UPSC preparation was the use of AI tools like Google's Gemini, which he used for mock interviews. Vibhor revealed that these AI chatbots acted like teachers for him, helping him identify his strengths and weaknesses. The AI mock interviews faced him with a wide-range of questions, which sharpened and strengthened his preparation for the actual interview. IAS Vibhor Bhardwaj AIR Ultimately, Vibhor Bhardwaj's hard work and dedication paid off when he cracked the UPSC CSE in 2022 with an All India Rank of 743. However, this rank could not ensure him an IAS post, so he tried again in 2024; this time jumping 724 ranks to secure AIR 19 and achieve his dreaming of becoming an IAS officer.

UPSC 2024: How village boy Vibhor jumped from AIR 743 to 19 with grit, game plan and AI
In a quiet village called Utrawali in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr district, dreams often travel far before they find wings. Vibhor Bhardwaj's journey was no exception. From completing his MSc in Physics at Hansraj College to cracking UPSC Civil Services Examination 2024 with an All India Rank of 19, Vibhor's story is one of self-awareness, incremental improvement, and staying grounded through the turbulence of repeated trials. In 2024, Vibhor made the third attempt. He cleared his first UPSC exam in 2022 with a modest AIR 743, missed the final list in 2023 despite reaching the interview stage, and then transformed himself into a top-20 ranker this year. Building a smart study system 'I started my preparation of UPSC CSE after completion of my MSc. from scratch,' says Vibhor. Choosing Physics as his optional subject, he didn't rely on luck or shortcuts. His game plan was clear—lay a strong Mains foundation early on. He completed the entire Mains syllabus—including Optional—in the first seven months, leaning on online coaching and self-curated notes. 'During this time I utilized the online coaching from home for both parts. I prepared the notes on GS subjects from coaching classes and then from studying the reference books of the same,' he explains. Interestingly, he didn't start writing answers at that stage. 'During this period I completed my Optional paper notes without any answer writing,' he recalls. The Prelims pivot: Strategy in action By January, Vibhor shifted gears to focus entirely on the Prelims. With surgical precision, he tackled the static portion, reviewed current affairs magazines, and revised daily summaries. He didn't jump blindly into mock tests—he staggered them smartly. 'After one revision of each subject, in the second revision I started appearing for the sectional tests. Once done with second revision I shifted to the full length tests,' he says. He also swore by Previous Year Questions (PYQs). 'I used PYQs as a guide for understanding the nature of questions asked by the UPSC,' he adds, treating them not just as practice material but as a blueprint for examiner intent. What changed in the third attempt Vibhor's journey wasn't linear. After securing AIR 743 in 2022, and then failing to make the final list in 2023 despite clearing the interview round, he did a full diagnostic on his weaknesses. His biggest upgrade? Answer writing. 'I started to take reference from the toppers' answer sheets and compared my answer to the same question written in their sheets. This worked for me to reduce the time per question as well as in improving the quality of my answers.' He also adopted a micro-level approach to the syllabus. 'I prepared notes on each and every keyword mentioned in the syllabus having different dimensions,' he shares. This helped him gain both depth and breadth—an edge that Mains evaluators look for. He didn't work in isolation either. Discussions with peers became a memory tool. 'Discussion with friends on current affairs topics and magazines, PYQs and other topics in general helped me in retaining the information for long and also in recalling during the Mains exam,' he adds. To further sharpen his understanding, Vibhor turned to previous toppers—notably Shruti Sharma (AIR 1, 2022). He closely studied her notes and used them as benchmarks for conceptual clarity and answer framing. The idea was not to copy, but to calibrate. 'These inputs,' he says, 'helped me deepen his contextual awareness and stay aligned with the evolving nature of the UPSC paper.' Using Google Gemini for interview prep In his second attempt, low marks in the personality test were a stumbling block. Instead of stepping back, Vibhor leaned into innovation. He used AI to simulate mock interviews. 'I used Google Gemini by providing the background and details and asked it to conduct my interview around those topics. It was tremendously beneficial,' he shares. Mentorship matters Vibhor credits Shubham Aggarwal of Vidyapeeth IAS Academy for giving structure to his preparation. 'His one-on-one mentorship and personal touch to cater individual needs enriched my perspectives on current events, controversial issues and helped me frame balanced answers,' says Vibhor. From the mentor's desk For Aggarwal, Vibhor's success was a matter of when, not if. He recalls Vibhor's unique self-awareness and strategic mind. 'From day one, Vibhor knew exactly where he stood. He was aware of his weaknesses and had already mapped out how to overcome them,' says Aggarwal. Describing his approach as 'practical and grounded,' he adds, 'In all my years of mentoring, he is among the most sincere toppers I've seen.' Ready to empower your child for the AI era?

‘Not Always A Last Resort': DU Student Debunks Arts Stream Stereotypes
Last Updated: A Delhi University English Honours student caught the internet's attention after she tried to break the stereotypes about art streams. A Delhi University art student received nasty comments and was subjected to stereotypes after she highlighted her struggles in securing an internship. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in English honours from Delhi's Hansraj College, Bisma Fareed grabbed eyeballs with a viral post, whose comment section was flooded with digs and stereotypical questions. She has now rebuffed all of that and more in another post. 'Thank you for making me feel like a deserving loser," Fareed wrote in her popular LinkedIn post, disclosing the type of comments she received on an earlier post where she declared, 'I'm a topper and I am unable to get an internship" and attracted demotivational comments from those who suggested she should've opted for commerce or science stream. 'Recently, my post went viral, received zillions of motivating messages and a few, just a few hundred of stereotypical questions! 'Why did you take up Arts, if you are a topper?' 'Itna talented thi to B.A kyu ki thi, koi bada course karna tha na?' 'btw if you don't mind B.A. walon ko kon job deta hai?'" Fareed wrote. 'So, first and foremost, I would like to thank these 'Bade course wale, science Wale, wale' people for entrenching the already existing stereotypes of the society! Thank you for making every 'Arts' wala student inferior. Kyuki society mai to sirf aapka contribution hai! Baaki sab to dumb hai!]" The English honours student then raised a serious question on DU's educational structure: 'If humanities or B.A. courses don't have any value, why are these streams and courses offered by the education system?" The woman wondered if the art courses would cease to exist if they didn't carry any value, as suggested by her critics. She then noted her belief behind opting for the art stream and said not everyone loves to do number crunching, analysis or coding. 'Arts is not always a 'last resort'; it's a choice," Fareed wrote, calling it a genuine option, not a fallback. 'Not everyone is interested in numbers, anatomy, or coding; some people prefer free thinking and creative expression. Arts students develop critical thinking, empathy, and problem-solving skills that are valuable in many industries." 'Creativity and innovation often come from the Arts, which can lead to groundbreaking ideas and solutions. The world needs diverse perspectives, and Arts students bring unique viewpoints to the table." Fareed sent out a message to fellow art students, encouraging them to opt for the art stream without hesitation or societal pressure. 'So, to all the Arts students out there, don't let anyone make you feel inferior," she wrote. Watch CNN-News18 here.
