UPSC Coaching Myth Busted

Guwahati: Two candidates’ civil servants from Assam, Mayur Hazarika and Nibedita Das by dispelling the widespread misconception that coaching is necessary to pass the intensely difficult Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) test, have accomplished a remarkable feat. Having just studied from internet resources, Hazarika earned an outstanding 5th place, while Das earned an admirable 848th place.

Hazarika is a committed medical professional who works with the National Health Mission (NHM) Assam and has an MBBS from Gauhati Medical College (GMC). His path to achievement started while he was a student at Nagaon’s Ramanujan Junior College for further study. Hazarika diligently used web resources and self-preparation in the absence of professional coaching, dispelling the widespread belief that coaching is essential for success in the UPSC.

Mohammad Idul Ahmed, a mechanical engineering graduate from the esteemed Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Guwahati, was another outstanding performer who earned an incredible 298th position. Ahmed, a native of Guwahati City, proved with his success that diligent independent study combined with endurance and commitment can pay off in the difficult UPSC exam.

Manas Jyoti Das from Namrup in the Dibrugarh district joined the ranks of successful applicants by earning the 881st spot, demonstrating that Assamese applicants from tiny towns and districts can also succeed in the civil service examination. Furthermore, by passing the coveted exam, Anjali Bharadwaj (271) Disha Langthasa (664) and Nivedita Das (848) demonstrated their aptitude.

Despite not using conventional coaching techniques, Disha Langthasa from the Dima Hasao area and Nivedita Das from Bajali, Assam, both demonstrated outstanding tenacity and aptitude. Their accomplishments shatter the myth that coaching centres are the only route to succeed in the UPSC test and demonstrate the enormous potential that Assam’s hopefuls possess.

Numerous UPSC candidates throughout the nation who might not have access to coaching facilities or choose to follow an alternate preparation strategy are inspired by the exceptional performance of these independent candidates from Assam. Their successes highlight the value of initiative, resourcefulness, and a full comprehension of the exam’s criteria.

It is anticipated that more candidates will now take into account personalised study methods, making use of online resources and other self-preparation strategies, as the myth of coaching for the UPSC has been dispelled by these outstanding Assamese achievers. The accomplishments of Hazarika, Das, and their fellow candidates will surely change the perception of UPSC coaching and encourage a new generation of self-sufficient aspirants to pursue their ambitions of joining the civil service.
