Lucknow, Dec 16 (IANS): An IPS officer in the Uttar Pradesh cadre, Akash Tomar, has offered to give his 2012 UPSC notes to those aspiring to crack the civil services examinations.

On his Twitter handle, the IPS officer, presently posted as Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Etawah, wrote, "If anyone needs my 2012 UPSC notes (in typed form) in order to get an idea about how notes should be made during preparation for civil services, please reply to the post with your email ID. I'll mail you my notes."

The response has been overwhelming.

"Within 24 hours, I had got around 3,500 requests for the mail, which was not possible. Hence, I decided to post several links in PDF format of the notes on my account," he said.

The officer also said that depending on the availability, he is ready to guide aspirants requiring any support in the preparation for the exams conducted by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).

The officer disclosed that he had actually been sharing his notes with friends and acquaintances for a long time.

"I thought my notes are already in the PDF format and it could benefit many others too," he added.

Many of the aspirants have also requested the officer to organise a webinar and give tips for the examination and interview.

Indian shooter Manu Bhakar, who won gold in youth Olympics 2018, is among those who have sought notes from the officer, saying she aspired to become an officer.

Tomar, who has done his B.Tech in computer science from the Indian Institute of Information Technology (Prayagraj) had secured rank 138 in the UPSC in 2012.
