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?

'Fundamental concepts and clarity will come from your Foundational Class Notes' - Archit Dongre (AIR-3) at the VisionIAS Toppers' Talk Key insights from Archit's Topper Talk: UPSC preparation strategies ● Time management and discipline are not negotiable: Whether your aspirations are full-time or you balance your job with preparation, careful time management is absolutely essential. If working, strategically schedule study times: early mornings, late evenings, and maximise weekends. Consistent, high-quality study hours should take centre stage. For GS, a set schedule including optional answer writing, even physical exercise, helps build momentum. ● Master Prelims with foundation, practice & revision: Prelims sometimes call for the ability to confidently and accurately attempt a wider range of questions. Although educated guessing is important, it has to be based on thorough practice on rigorous and strong conceptual knowledge. Equally crucial is the extensive post-test analysis , in which the strategy is refined and gaps are found to indicate actual improvement. Using high-intensity simulations like , which improve mental readiness to negotiate uncertainty, helps exam temperament. At last, 's analysis reveals UPSC's main areas of concentration, thus guiding more intelligent and coordinated preparation. ● Fuel your optional choice with real interest : Allow your main compass to be of real interest when choosing your optional subject. Archit chose philosophy since he really enjoyed it, which gave him a natural drive to delve deeply and commit long study hours. ● Embrace consistent answer writing early on: Practice answer writing early and do not wait for the completion of the UPSC syllabus. Start early—even with limited subjects—and develop consistency by means of daily classroom assignments. Emphasise logical structuring of answers, comprehension of the question's demand, and use pertinent statistics and diagrams. While using reference to toppers' copies can help further improve content depth and presentation, regularly practising with PYQs helps match your writing with UPSC's expectations. ● Manage multiple resources with clarity: Archit underlined the need to follow a few primary sources in a time when plenty of new materials and continuous additions keep coming. His approach was simple: depend mostly on foundation class notes for conceptual clarity; add standard book or classroom UPSC study materials; and include current affairs without overwhelming. ● Strategic revision and note-making: Revise old topics as you learn new ones in a cyclical sequence. Revise the pertinent UPSC syllabus carefully before mock tests. Especially for the last weeks, make brief, need-based notes to enable frequent, quick revisions. This method sharpens recall and increases retention. ● Get a resilient attitude and make wellness your top priority: Since UPSC is a marathon and requires constant mental strength, find delight in the learning process, keep the course by scheduling intentional breaks to prevent burnout. With 40–45 minutes of daily exercise and a good diet, keep yourself physically fit, since both directly affect output. Along with disciplined self-study, a supportive peer group helps to increase drive and reinforce learning. ● Approach the interview with genuineness and DAF-centric preparation: Your interview preparation is modelled by your DAF, or detailed application form. Get ready completely on every one of the points your DAF mentioned. Although personality develops over time, committed practice through simulated interviews helps to improve presentation techniques and confidence. It's always better to be honest, even if you don't know the answer. The real confidence comes from being honest and prepared. From a working professional to IPS and ultimately securing AIR 3, Archit Dongre's UPSC preparation path reflects the power of strategic planning, consistent effort, and real passion.

Archit's timeless UPSC guidance—stay disciplined, enjoy the process, and never stop evolving—applies whether you're just starting or honing your road map. ✅ FAQs: Archit Dongre UPSC AIR 3, 2024 1.

Her path from a Chartered Accountant to among the top civil services achievers in the nation captures the core of inner drive and targeted ambition. She discussed in great detail her method in a recent Topper's Talk session, a proud student of the VisionIAS Classroom Foundation Course, offering useful UPSC guidance for aspirants at every stage of their UPSC journey.

She made sure she was actively involved even though she studied online by consistent searches and careful assignment writing. Her three attempts were supported by classroom notes, which she found to be rather relevant. Her preparation gained consistency and clarity from regular answer writing, class-based assignments, and revision tools including QRM and monthly magazines, reflecting the reach of the best UPSC coaching in Delhi, even in remote learning. From Toppers' Talk: Strategy, Setbacks, & Smart UPSC Preparation Organized Resources and Fundamental Materials Harshita stressed the need of depending on set, ordered resources. VisionIAS classroom notes anchored her preparation; additional tools for conceptual grounding included Quick Revision Materials (QRM), Monthly Magazines, PT365, and NCERTs. She refined rather than replaced these materials throughout her efforts. Prelims Strategy: Consistency and Accuracy After two setbacks in first two attempts, Harshita went to her third Prelims with a more strategic approach: ● Her compass was PYQs: She analysed PYQ's not only for improvement but also for the identification of recurrent themes and direction of concentrated study. ● CSAT was taken seriously: She especially used PYQs and classroom tests to address her weak areas by regular practice. ● Current Affairs: Read newspapers daily (non-negotiable!). Supplemented with monthly magazines/PT 365 smartly. Focused on revising factual information. ● Smart revision: She avoided using fresh materials near the test and instead repeatedly going over familiar notes. ● Mocks for Confidence: Exams like the All India Prelims Test Series and Abhyaas helped her to shape test attitude. ● Attempt Strategy: She tried 98 questions on the real test and observed that strategy has to match personal risk-taking capacity. 'The more mistakes you make in mocks, the more you learn—and the less likely you are to repeat them in the real exam,' Harshita says. Mains Strategy: Practice, Presentation, and Completion The Mains approach of Harshita was quite practice-oriented: ● She solved the PYQs for the past five years, learning answer structure by comparing them with topper copies. ● Emphasizing structure and coherence, she stressed finishing all answers—including writing even when unsure. ● Early on, classroom assignments helped develop writing discipline. ● Especially in difficult areas, note-making was smart like digital for reading and reference, handwritten for memory retention. ● Budget/Eco Survey summaries, Mains 365, and high-frequency theme use of diagrams drove GS3 preparation. ● Essay and Ethics: Regular essay practice for Harshita came from copies of toppers, newspapers, and peer reviews. In Ethics, for values like integrity and empathy, she drew on stakeholder diagrams, tables, and clear, concise examples. Further, VisionIAS Ethics lectures and toppers' answers formed her basis; applied with structure and clarity. Interview: presence of mind over perfection ● Harshita stressed thorough DAF-based preparation—that is, practicing questions for every keyword. ● She brainstormed using ChatGPT and peer review. ● Her interview readiness centered mostly on personality qualities including empathy, calmness, and articulation Attitude, Drive, and Handling Obstacles ● Early setbacks notwithstanding, Harshita stayed grounded and optimistic. ● She stayed close to her basic inspiration: family support and social responsibility. ● Equipped with interests (painting, movies, Ludo) and exercise for balanced preparation.
