A Message for All Civil Services Exam Aspirants -
Dear Aspirant,
Greetings!
Every year, thousands of talented and hardworking candidates reach the final stage of the Civil Services Examination — the UPSC Personality Test (Interview). Yet, many of them struggle to clear it. For some, this becomes a recurring challenge, resulting in loss of precious time, money, and most importantly — confidence.
The reasons vary. Some candidates lack exposure to formal personality development in their school or college years. Others come from humble backgrounds where opportunities to build communication and presentation skills were limited. In contrast, a few aspirants find this stage easier — often due to early guidance or a naturally confident personality shaped by their upbringing.
But let me be honest with you — cracking the UPSC Interview is not about having a "gifted personality." It is about understanding yourself deeply, presenting your thoughts clearly, and showing the board that you are ready to take on the responsibilities of a civil servant.
Unfortunately, many candidates start preparing for the interview only after the Mains exam. They try to do everything in a short span — watching videos, reading a wide variety of material, attending dozens of mock interviews, meeting officers and toppers, even connecting with retired and serving bureaucrats online. While all these efforts are commendable, they often miss one critical aspect: Self-awareness, personality refinement, and structured preparation.
In my experience of guiding aspirants for over 15 years, I’ve seen that under confidence and overconfidence both hinder performance. What candidates truly need is a long-term, well-guided strategy for the Personality Test — just like they plan for Prelims and Mains.
To bridge this gap, Career Quest has designed a Special Interview Guidance Course focused on:
- Personalised mentoring
- Improvement in communication and presentation skills
- Building self-awareness and confidence
- Understanding the expectations of the UPSC board
- Mock interviews with expert feedback
Whether you are a fresher or a repeater, if you are serious about success in the UPSC interview, I invite you to take the first step.

Warm regards,
