Mangaluru, Jun 4: City police organized an orientation programme for the aspirants of civil service examinations on Saturday June 4 at town hall under the aegis of police commissioner N Shashi Kumar.
The police commissioner said, “The coastal belt is a hub of education, but when it comes to competitive exams, the number is way behind. In the coastal belt, many are unaware about how to prepare for competitive exams. A year ago, when a month-long training was held for police aspirants, we received 706 applications where 11 were selected for constable posts which is a good achievement. The aspirants need to be focused and never be depressed thinking that their preparation went waste. Those who work hard never fail, as there is no substitute for hard work.”
DySP Puttur Ghana P Kumar, who comes from the medical background said, “My first interest was Indian Forest Service. After preparing for a year, a notification was issued that doctors are not eligible for IFS. I was disheartened with it. But I prepared for KPSC. You need to be patient as it took three years for my appointment. You need to study the recent Karnataka gazette about the progression of the state about history and geography. How much hours you prepare is not important but you have to prepare smartly. Go through the old question papers of UPSC. In the prelims, you need to slog a lot while in the mains, how well and different you answer will be the key. Hard work and timely work will help one to crack the examination.”
Superintendent of police Rishikesh Sonawane said, “Where you see yourself in the future is the aspiration. There must be solid motivation and perseverance. After being an IPS, it is not the end. You should look into your utility for the society. In exams, there are prelims, mains and interview. Too much of stress does not work out. You need to identify your goals and strive continuously.”
Bantwal ASP Shivansh Rajput said, “The aspirants need to put in a lot of efforts and dedication facing all the hurdles that come your way. In my fifth attempt, I cleared the exam. In all five attempts, I had reached up to the interview. You need to be more consistent. There will objective questions and you need to be aware of what is happening around you.
DCP law and order Hariram Shankar welcomed the gathering.
