Dear All
When I was preparing for services, whenever I used to meet some successful candidate, I become curious as to how and what kind of training do they get after clearing the exam.Today, I am gonna write about it so that you get an idea of life post clearing the exam.
My result came (If I remember exactly) on 06th May 2010 and my roll no. was 018114. Ok, let me tel u an interesting story. The day I was expecting result, i was sitting on internet in my lab in ISRO. Suddenly UPSC site became heavy and it was clear that result has come. My heart beat was maximum and I remember I hate to use to Ctrl+F button to find/search but there was no alternative. As soon as I entered my roll no. my rank mentioned was 16. I could not realize it and checked again and same result. I firstly thanked Waheguru G for the result. I closed the window and opened it again, same result and then even I shut down the PC and checked it again. You can imagine the kind of anxiety and then I asked my fellow scientist to recheck. I took a print out and went to meet my boss, a scientist 'SG' level officer. There was a meeting going on, but that was the level of happiness, that I went straight into his room, my shirt was out and I was having no words, there were tears in my eyes. I told him the result and suddenly all my lab was enjoying my success. We had a small party at my home there.
Next morning, when I woke up I thought I had a wishful dream, I immediately checked my pant pocket and yes, the printout taken was there which has the result my 16th rank. So, that's about the day when Waheguru G changed my life.
Now coming to training, I joined my Foundation course (FC) at mussoorie on 30th August 2010.In FC there are IAS, IFS, IPS (except those who didnt join in order to improve their rank) and IFS(Indian Forest Service). The biggest challenge that remains till today is reaching Mussoorie from Dehradun as I am blessed by Lord to have motion sickness in mountains. Suddenly after reaching in Mussoorie, the day starts at around 5.15 am and morning PT at polo ground which is located around 1.5 km downhills. Then after coming back to room ( which we share with other service guys) we get ready for class rooms. The class begins at sharp 9 am and goes on till 5 pm with 1 hour lunch break and 1/2 hour tea break. Mostly people sleep in the class. I was habitual sleeper too. Sometimes, the speaker even wont mind. In the evening we go to play games (badminton (my fav game)). The biggest positive thing in FC is it provides an opportunity to meet so many people from all around the country. The friends made in FC stands forever. FC is also filled with too many activites viz there is India day where all OTs (officer trainees) show there respective culture, fair, plays, village visit for around 10 days, mountain treks (on weekends local treks in Mussoorie and 10 day long trek in mountains of Uttrakhand, u can imagine my situation during the bus journey for those 10 days) etc. FC ends in December. Then comes the Bharat Dharshan of IAS, the best part of the service. In that we are divided into groups. Fortunately, the itinery of my group was very good. We travelled from LoC in Kashmir ( Tithwal village, Kishamganga/ neelam river etc.), Jharkhand (Chaibasa), Odisha( puri, bhuvneshvar etc.), Banglore, Hyderabad, Vishakhapatnam, Tirupati, Chennai, Andamans and Nicobar, Kolkata, N. Delhi etc.
Then starts the phase 1 of training from Jan end to mid june. Phase 1 is very monotonous and boring, because its very lengthy and class room study is very high in content. Further, I will write in 2nd part..........
