Profile of Nandini KR


Nandini KR was born and brought up in the Kolar Gold Field of Karnataka. She did schooling from St. Joseph Convent Girls High School.

Tech (Civil Engineering) from prestigious M S Ramaiya Engineering College, Bangalore.

Nandini cracked Civil Services Examination in her third attempt in   CSE 2015. However, her rank was not good enough and she was allotted Indian Revenue Services (IRS). She joined IRS without compromising with her preparation. This year she appeared with better preparation and the result justifies her hard work.
By caste, Nandini KR is an OBC. She took Kannada literature as her optional subject for Civil Services Mains Examination.

KR Nandini Marksheet of UPSC 2017 Prelims Exam (Paper 1 + Paper 2)

Residence: KR Nandini and her family lives in Kolar Gold Field,  Karnataka.
A moment of surprise: With exclusive interview with India Express, she uttered in Hindi :- “Jab result aaya main us waqt so rahi thi. I knew they would be out today but there’s usually no particular time. When my phone started buzzing repeatedly, I realised the results had been announced. Since then we have been so busy that I still haven’t had time to actually register what has happened”.
Who forced Nandini to nail the Civil Services Exam: In an interview, she accepted that her parents only made her realize the importance of being a civil servant. Seeing all the requisite qualities of a bureaucrat in her, her parents motivated her to prepare for IAS exam when she was in school only. She had opted for humanities in her plus two, CBSE board.
Her family background: Her mother’s name is Himali. She is trained as engineer. Her father Jaswant is working in Department of Telecom.
Why she opted for __ Cadre? She answered very simply. She says the state _ is always known from its patriarchal mindset and the gender inequality. It has always disturbed me. I belong to a modern and progressive family so there is no space for gender inequality at least in my life. I want to change the orthodox tag from the state ___ and I would feel great if I make any positive changes in the state.
What is your secret of success? She uttered a single word : “Patience”. Patience is the key of my success. She added sometimes the time comes when you feel lonely and depressed because this is such a difficult exam and a long process. Other parts of your life become almost non-existent, so patience I think is also key.”
Who is her role model? Her mother. Nandini gives all the  credit for her results to her mother who is honest, humble and down to earth. She is also obliged to Mukul Pathak Sir (who used to teach in a Karnataka coaching class). He provided her very helpful notes and guidance. She was taking coaching from vajiram and ravi.
KR Nandini total score in UPSC is 1,063 (52.49 %) out of 2,025 marks. Second ranker Anmol Sher Singh Bedi secured 1,018 marks that is 50.27%. G Ronanki secured third rank. He got 1,014 that is 50.07%.

SSC के लिये GS की रणनीति...

SSC के लिये GS की रणनीति...
SSC के सारे paper online हो रहे है..
इस कारण ssc को ढेर सारे paper बनाने पड़ रहे हैं क्योंकि ssc में लगातार candidates बढ़ते जा रहे है और साथ ही साथ paper की संख्या भी बढ़ती जा रही है जैसे---
1.cgl-2016 में 44 paper (4400 Questions)
2.cpo-2016 मे 23 paper (4600 Questions)
3.CHSL-2016 में 73 paper (7300 Questions)
यदि ध्यान दे तो इसमे एक रणनीति दिखाई दे रही है । मुद्दा यह है कि क्या इतने सारे questions ssc नये questions के रूप मे निर्मित करने में सक्षम है ?क्योंकि ये exam प्रत्येक 3-4 months के अंतराल पर आयोजित किये जा रहे है
तो अनिवार्य रूप से ssc के लिये चुनौती भरा कार्य है । अत: ssc पुराने questions को ही repeat कर रही है जैसा कि cgl-2016 मे GS के 1100 questions में से लगभग 1030 questions पुराने थे इसी प्रकार Cpo में तथा CHSL में लगभग 90 % questions Repeated थे..।।
अंतत: मुद्दा यह है कि आप सभी GS में previous questions को ही पढ़े यकिन माने आपको exam में 20-22 questions मिल जायेंगे [90%marks]।।
Total number of subjects in GS-
1.Indian polity---750questions
2. Economics---800 questions
3.Geography----850 questions
4. History--------900 questions
5. Physics--------550 questions
6.chemisry-------450 questions
6. Biology--------1350 questions
7. Computer------300 questions
8.science and technology-280 questions
9.miscellaneous----900 questions
Around 7300 questions है जो कि ssc बार बार घुमा कर या सीधे-सीधे पुछ रही है आपको इन्हीं questions को 2-3 times दुहरा लेना चाहिये यकिन मानिये आपको GS में exam में समस्या नही आयेगी और यदि आपने GS में अच्छे marks ले लिये तो आसानी से अच्छा Rank ला सकते है...,।।। देर से Reply के लिये sorry परंतु अभी आपके पास CPO तथा CGL के लिये पर्याप्त समय है पुरे लगन से मेहनत करे सफलता निश्चित है...
Current के matters को exam से पहले update कर दूँगा ...।।
All the Best .....
