Comply with daily schedule of preparation to face civil services exam, Dakshina Kannad ZP CEO tells aspirants at ‘The Hindu EducationPlus Career Counselling 2025' session
Fear of failure is a part of the journey in one's life. It is necessary to push oneself daily and do the daily routine preparation in a disciplined manner to make a mark in the all-India civil services examination, said Chief Executive Officer of the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat K. Anandh in Mangaluru on Saturday. Speaking on the civil services' examination at 'The Hindu EducationPlus Career Counselling 2025' session, Dr. Anandh said it is strange that only a few from Dakshina Kannada, which is known for its highy literacy rate, enter the all-India civil services. The period of the civil services examination is one year, and aspirants should have a lot of patience during this period. Aspirants should not be swayed away by what others comment. There will be helpless times, which may let the aspirants down. 'Stick to the daily routine of preparation. Yes, it will be difficult. But do the routine of preparation in a disciplined manner, which will help you crack the civil services examination,' he said. Aspirants can start writing the examination after the age of 21, and they can continue to do so till they are 32. While those from the general category have six attempts, no such specification is prescribed for those from the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes. The general studies paper has questions from core subjects, namely history, economics, politics, geography, and environment. Aspirants can choose any one of 25 subjects as an optional subject. Dr. Anandh said the optional subject should be the one in which one should be proficient and capable of submitting a thesis. Dean of the Department of Paediatric Surgery, K.S. Medical College and Hospital, B. Sandeep Rai, spoke on the career in medicine, while chartered accountants K. Vinayak Pai and Upendra Shenoy spoke on career as chartered accountant.

Passion, hard work, skills needed to be successful: Bhuvanesh Patil
'Passion, hard work, discipline, confidence and requisite skills will help in you achieving excellence in your chosen field,' Chief Executive Officer of Dharwad Zilla Panchayat Bhuvanesh Patil has said. He was inaugurating The Hindu EducationPlus Career Counselling 2025 at Bio Technology Hall of KLE Technology University (BVB Campus) in Hubballi on Saturday. The IAS officer, who cracked the civil services exam on his fourth attempt, narrated his own example of how failures helped him succeed. 'You need to identify your passion and also check whether you have the requisite skills,' he said. 'It is not always necessary to listen to what others say about choosing a career because none knows you better than yourself. You know your strength and weaknesses better than anyone else. So choose your career based on your passion and skills', he said. Mr. Patil said that although students from moffusil centres had the requisite skills and potential, they lacked the confidence of students brought up in urban areas. 'Developing confidence will help you face any challenge. Confidence comes from working day in and day out. Continuous practice will help you build it,' he said. He pointed out that simply working hard would not yield results and a systematic plan and discipline were crucial to reaching goals. Mr. Patil told the students to remember that achieving success in an examination or in a chosen field did not mean one's struggle would end as one would have to struggle throughout life. 'In my opinion being successful means having the ability to face any challenge,' he said. He briefed the students on preparing for civil services or other competitive examinations. Having a backup plan was also necessary, he said. Career options Career coach and trainer Syed Sadat Pasha from CIGMA Foundation threw light on various career options available to the students after their II PUC. Apart from engineering and medical sciences, there were several other career options available to the students, he said.
