New Delhi, April 29, 2019 ;
Speaking about the strategy , Ritika Jindal said , the credit of my success goes to my mentor M K Yadav …..
My journey so far :
I’ve done my schooling from Moga, Punjab. I was the Northern India topper in CBSE 12th board exams. I’ve graduated from Sri Ram College of Commerce with 3rd rank in 2017. After that I gave my 1st attempt, in which I qualified interview stage, but couldn’t make it to the final list. This was my 2nd attempt and I’ve secured AIR-88 in CSE, 2018 at the age of 22 yrs.
The credit of my success goes to :
The almighty God, my Parents and younger brother, my teachers and my mentor- MK Yadav, friends and well wishers who have stood by me through this journey.
The sources I had referred :
6-12th NCERTs, Newspaper (The Hindu), Budget, Eco Survey, NITI Ayog reports, PRS, PIB, Yojana magazine, Lakshmikant, G C Leong, Spectrum, 2nd ARC reports, Subhash Kashyap, DD Basu …this list is indicative not exhaustive.
A humble advisory towards strategy for the exam based on my own experience :
- Chalk out your own plan. Don’t blindly follow anyone’s advice. (Every person has his/her own strengths & weaknesses and faces different circumstances)
- Take the exam as learning process, as a journey not an end in itself
- Give equitable importance to all the subjects
- Do cost-benefit analysis while preparing
- Have a good understanding of every subject – neither shallow understanding nor confusing yourself with unnecessary details
- Give due importance to every stage – pre, mains and interview. Every stage has it’s own demands, build your capacity according to that
- Stick to the sources you are referring, build good foundation (don’t randomly jump from one source to another)
- Use 3 stage process – Understand, Learn, Revise
- Keep yourself calm, cool and composed ( Stress will reduce your learning capacity)
- Have balanced and logical opinion, keep your mind open (for mains and interview)
- Don’t compromise on your sleep. (Good sleep increases productivity of mind)
- Take healthy, balanced and nutritious diet (falling sick reduces your learning days)
- Preferably do physical exercise/ yoga/ morning walk to keep yourself healthy (This refreshens your mind – important for good memory)
- Be consistent in your efforts. There is no substitute of self-discipline.
- Do SmartWork : Hardwork in the Right Direction! There are no shortcuts to success.
- Have high regards for your parents and teachers. They are a continuous source of motivation, support and selfless love.

All the best for your journey ahead !
