How was your UPSC CSE 2019 result ? What mistake you suggest not to do again to aspirants ?

I got AIR 54 in CSE 2018, result of which was declared on 5th April 2019.

In previous two attempts I missed final selection by few marks and major reason for failure was poor/below avg marks in interview.

In CSE 2018, I got 182 in interview.

IMO, following needs to be done for PT:

1. Mocks must be minimized. Don’t over do it.
2. Focus more on yourself, by yourself.
3. Have a conversation with yourself, look within, know who you are.
4. Play with words, focus on clarity & brevity. Don’t say extra things if not asked.
5. Have a person who motivates you in this journey. I was lucky that I had some good friends and I owe a lot to them for my success.
