Talking about his preparation, the 20-year-old said, “I did not join any coaching but borrowed material from my friends enrolled in different institutions. I mostly followed my graduation books only, since the course structure of DU is really good. I didn’t go for high-level standard books and rather focused on the past year’s papers deeply, understood what these exams actually demand, and strengthened those specific concepts from online platforms like Google and YouTube,” Gupta said.

The Haryana boy aims to crack the Indian Economics Service exam after completing his post-graduate studies. “The dream to become an IAS officer was sown in my heart since childhood by my father. By the time I reached graduation, my awareness of civil services expanded and I learnt about IES. Since then, I decided to crack this exam and I have been preparing for it since early graduation years,” he shared.
