About me and this blog


Hi all,

This is Atul Prakash. I have secured an All India Rank (AIR) of 4 in the Civil Services Examination {CSE} of 2017.  My optional subject was Mathematics.

This blog is primarily in response to the numerous queries I have received regarding my preparation strategy for CSE in the weeks gone by. Therefore, I am writing this blogpost with the intention of sharing my experiences and my learnings of my 2 attempts at this exam.

This blog shall mainly deal with Mathematics and how I approached it across both my attempts. I shall try to cite as many personal experiences, which I had during the course of the examination, as possible, which should address various concerns put forward to me in recent times.

Subsequently I shall also try to add my perspectives on various other elements of this examination.


I hope it will prove to be useful to some of you reading this.


Best Wishes  !!!


Background Info


I have done my grad and post-grad from IIT Delhi in Mathematics and Computing.
{5-year Int. M.Tech 2011-16 batch}.

In my first attempt I managed to secure AIR 558 {CSE-2016}, following which I was allotted the Indian Railway Personnel Service. In my second attempt, I secured AIR 4 {CSE-2017} and am currently awaiting service allotment.




My score cards are as follows :


2016 Final 








2017 Prelims







2017 Final
