She didn’t crack it on her first attempt.
Her optional was History. She was a History graduate.
But even then, she couldn’t make it to the final list.
Many would’ve given up —
But she sat down, rewrote her approach, and doubled down on answer writing.
Her 2nd attempt?
AIR 1.
No viral notes. No influencer push.
Just brutal focus and strategy.
What you can learn from Shruti Sharma’s journey:
1. Your optional isn’t your advantage. It’s your responsibility.
2. Failure is not opposite of success. It’s part of it.
3. UPSC = 80% consistency, 20% luck. Don’t chase hacks.
4. Write more. Reflect more. Read less.
If she had quit after her first attempt, this tweet wouldn’t exist.
Keep going. The rank you want is on the other side of the attempt you’re afraid of.
